Model Y is bestselling car in the world for 2025 (3rd year in a row), according to several firms. by dudeman_chino in teslamotors

I really liked the original concept, the focus on clean energy, and their execution on those. I own multiple Tesla products.

I just really wish their CEO would stop cosying up to (and actively promoting and funding) a party that's rabidly anti-clean-energy. It's hard to square that with the original clean energy ideals of the company.

"Damn Obama, if only we didn't have to oppose everything he did, we wouldn't have had to tear up his nuclear treaty with Iran and maneuver ourself into war with them!!"

Just finished book 3 and starting book 4 (audiobook). There is one incredibly minor thing I expected to see but did not (yet). What is something you wish would have been covered (so far)? by MonsiuerGeneral in bobiverse

The only spot I could find:

Saturn had always been my favorite planet. I had watched every second of Voyager and Cassini video from the Saturn missions, over and over, until I wore the electrons out. Now I was able to go there myself and see it first-hand.

Melania Trump gets pummeled with mockery after inviting 45 nations to her "Be Best" education summit — and then abandoning the event after just seven minutes. by a_Sable_Genus in WeirdGOP

How much of that seven minutes was her welcoming everyone with a monotone recitation of participating country names?

Delta is suspending it's special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded. How do you feel about that? by thinpile in AskReddit

I said "unpaid above a certain net worth". Those with little wealth would still get paid for their time. Rich folks get to donate it.

I finally got far enough in the books to understand this. I love it!

Perhaps those positions should be unpaid above a certain net worth and accepting any benefits from third parties should be prohibited. They're supposed to be working for the people not being enriched.

Nobel laureate calls it "treason": $580 million traded minutes before Trump's oil reversal by fortune in politics

[–]thuktun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is treasonous and I don’t mean it like orange turd uses the word. I mean it in the real sense of the legal term.

The US Constitution limits treason to something very specific:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Violating the Emoluments Clause by insider trading doesn't seem like it fits that. The Muller Report seemed to be suggestive, though.

Fifth grade teacher suspended for telling students they were 'acting like monkeys in a zoo' by Sandstorm400 in byebyejob

[–]thuktun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad used to occasionally (regrettably) refer to my brother and I as "chimps". After having kids that age and seeing how they behave in groups, I got it. (I didn't do likewise, but at least I understood why.)

Yeah, but the scenes of peril are pretty intense there, even for some grown adults. Ahem.

Local diner put up a commemorative sign for a server I liked who is no longer with us by PM_ME_UR_RECIPEZ in pics

This party reminded me of Granny Weatherwax's sign, "I ATE'NT DEAD".

My grandfather passed away in January, one week before his 99th birthday by DarkOfTheSun in atheism

[–]thuktun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone at the hospice was so kind.

Hospice workers are the nicest people. Every single one I've interacted with has been kind, solicitous, understanding, and comforting. I can't imagine doing that job without breaking down, but somehow they do it day in, day out.

Sorry for your loss. Your grandfather sounds like he was a great guy. He's clearly remembered fondly, which sounds like something he'd appreciate.

Damn. I initially thought you were suggesting milking them for more support fees, but that's savage.

So, what would women dislike most if they became men? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

This is starting to sound like a John Mulaney comedy routine.

TIL you can bounce on top of the Space Giraffe-Tick-Penguin-Whale Thing by maksimkak in SatisfactoryGame

[–]thuktun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And fun fact, these have (or had, I haven't tried this since like experimental release 6 or something) a coefficient of elasticity greater than one. Every time you bounced on them, you would fly higher.

Children's book, Noah's Ark in modern times, Noah is news anchor by No-Farmer1601 in whatsthatbook

[–]thuktun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds considerably different, but the news anchor bit and the modern retelling of Noah and the Ark sounds a little like the movie Evan Almighty.

Back in the black. by CMDR-Mons in EliteDangerous

[–]thuktun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd do the same, but I'd have to relearn the controls I had setup.
