Why would companies voluntarily reduce their prices when they’re making record profits? They’ll squeeze us until we’re dry.

I’ve managed to block most of it. The mere mention of yiff makes my skin crawl.

Look into Zionism, then look into Christian Zionism. There’s a belief that when 7 armies ally against Israel, the apocalypse will commence, bringing rapture and judgment day for all, opening up heaven and “kingdom come.”
Utter horseshit.

So, you’re asking in Seinfeldian tones, “what is up with that?” about a 15 year old thing?
- Comment on Teslas Can Be Stolen by Hijacking WiFi at Charging Stations, Researchers Find 3 months ago:
I have a 73 Porsche 914, it’s my second. I’ve had two 1970 Monte Carlos. Both vastly different vehicles, but both are extremely visceral cars. You’re extremely connected to the road and the vehicle.
There seems to be an abstraction layer with Teslas.
Renting one is a great idea.
- Comment on Teslas Can Be Stolen by Hijacking WiFi at Charging Stations, Researchers Find 3 months ago:
Interesting take. Thanks.
Do you think that embarrassment of the purchase, ignorance of what’s good, or status prevent more buyers from talking about that? As a person who enjoys the act of driving (though not the experience of driving in this city), I should see if I can get behind the wheel of one and attempt to be objective.
- Comment on Teslas Can Be Stolen by Hijacking WiFi at Charging Stations, Researchers Find 3 months ago:
It’s not just to my own driving. It’s compared to other cars around them and to other cars around me. I just as often see Tesla drivers do stupid things unrelated to me.
I was at the mountain snowboarding this weekend. Two Teslas attempted to drive up the road to park. Both got stuck in the same place, one after the other. Then, instead of backing up or getting out of the way, they just got out and walked to the resort lodge.
This is just idiotic behavior and I see it time and time again. Seattle, where I live, has one of the highest Tesla ownership percentages in the country.
I’m all for electric cars. I am trying to understand why Tesla drivers have so many morons behind the wheel.
- Comment on Teslas Can Be Stolen by Hijacking WiFi at Charging Stations, Researchers Find 3 months ago:
If they weren’t all so abysmally bad at handling their cars, maybe I’d have a different take. I swear that I get cut off, stuck behind, blocked by, or otherwise inconvenienced for dumb reasons by Teslas every time I drive.
It’s like despite all the cameras, they have zero spatial awareness. Or it’s a direct reflection of what’s in their head.

I’m working with a douchebag billionaire directly right now on a complex project related to the ransomware encryption of a healthcare provider. Because he’s part of the private equity firm and a billionaire, he thinks he knows how to drive the resolution better than I and my team of techs do.
All he does is drag me into more meetings and force me to get my techs to do shit that’s not conducive to restoring their systems.
He’s a giant waste of self aggrandized trash.

- Comment on Why Charging Your Gadgets Over 80% Is Such a Bad Idea | iFixit News 4 months ago:
At the risk of sounding like Spinal Tap, why don’t they just make the chargers stop at 80% and have the interface show 100%?
- Comment on y'all get gamer leg too? 4 months ago:
I know a dude who’s legs are purple from the knees down. He weighs around 400 pounds, slams sugar all the time, and doesn’t care.
I am not friends with him; his personality and lack of self care as well as caring for himself, despite having a wife, kids, and parents who love him are beyond the limits of my compassion. At some point I feel like we have to take ownership of our own lives and at least try.
Before I get swarmed with responses about depression, how hard is it, etc., he has a massive support group. Every time he gets more assistance, he accepts it and just continues as he is.

You took all that effort to put the zeros and commas in, but put the $ on the wrong side of the number.
Neat.

Andor was the best story of the Disney trash. I think anybody could watch it and be compelled. I think because Andor has a hard end in Rogue One, they need to go hard and establish him as a bad ass.
I’m sad to hear Tarantino got negged on ST though.
