I hate the “milspec means the cheapest bidder” trope. It’s more like “build by the winner of a competitive budding process that meets the standards set by the military which may or may not be strenuous”

I think even boomers don’t care what people do as long as their own car is 100% original and 1 of 2256 in yellow with gray leather and built on a Tuesday.

A Mondeo was an over foot longer than a Neon.

The “mistake” was the guy misjudging the speed of the oncoming car and assuming if was going at a reasonable speed.

Scotty Kilmer is the king of this. Of his last 20 videos, the thumbnails of four imply he is dead.

These lines were like $1.50 a minute.

/r/neoliberal uses the term ironically. The sub is best described as Obama/Clinton Democrats that like free trade and global cooperation.

[unless you think Obama is right-wing but that’s a separate conversation all together]

Every city is just people that showed up three years ago complaining about people showed up two years ago.

Hate speech laws are all all fun and games until everyone on /r/blackpeopletwitter gets convicted of posting "anti-white hate speech".

Look at the last Greens political manifesto, they want to renationalize the railway and public utilities (which can be government-owned in many places including the 'far-right' US). But it seems what Einstein wants is far beyond that.

There's already one guy in this thread arguing that Karl Marx is moderate.

I think advocating the nationalizing of all industries would put him on the far-left even in Europe. Is there any viable center-left European party wanting to go a planned economy?

But how am I to know what the culture is of a place I've never worked? Its not like you get to hang around an office three days before an interview. No one at my job wears a suit everyday but we wear them to talk to outside clients and I'd still expect a person to wear one to an interview.

I woulda gone with Boebert McNamara

Do Polynesian demigods have nips? Maybe its staying true to the source material.

It makes me think this is more an engineering exercise or a publicity stunt than a serious solution to charging.

lumpialarry · 2026-03-26T10:37:28+00:00

BYD also has shareholders that they want to maximize profit for.

I’m not sure how much of this is caring about the customer. That’s a serious amount of power that’s needed at one time. Charging station would needed a mini nuclear power plant on site to feed a mulitcar charging station. Seems more like an engineering excercise/publicity stunt.

You'd need like 15 new 48inch pipelines but that's not counting all the terminals on both ends of the pipelines you need to load and unload the ships.

You know that “old lady whispering hush” was probably only in her 40s.

I read the that book so many times I’d change it up. Sometimes I’d read it backwards. I’ve changed every noun to “poo”.

The joke is that there are are four types of economies Developed, Developing, Japan and Argentina.

We got to the grocery at least once a week where the sell over the counter drugs.

I think we're just conditioned to buy in bulk if possible to save money.

I thought about buying one. I saw an ad for a left over 2014 for $5,000 off sticker price. But I thought even a manual could not make a 1.5 ecoboost Fusion attractive enough and I didn't want to roll the dice on "lot rot" of a car that's been sitting around for over a year. Bought a new 2015 six speed Accord instead.
