  Yep. For some reason I’ve never tired of that song. Others I would hate hearing 1/100th as much but not it.

  Except Trump has finally made every other country in the world question why we don’t just cut the rope. I think the rope will be cut if Trump continues to stay in office.

  Yep. I had one who would never stray far and didn’t want to cross the road without my say so until they were about 10. The other as soon as they were able to walk/run would high tail it to the nearest roadway the second your gaze wavered. Trying to convince my MIL that we weren’t abusive but just trying to keep our child alive until they knew better and could be reasoned with, was an ordeal. And holding their hand wasn’t much of an option because they would pull hard enough to dislocate their elbow. They also hated strollers or backpacks so that was not a viable option.

  Hopefully it is dessert soup otherwise it might be a bit on the sandy side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Take that libs!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not accurate. The Lib would be wearing a life jacket and know how to swim.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New modelling reveals full impact of Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs – with the US hit hardest⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably true. It is Trump backing the US into a corner. No other country in backing them there. Americans need to decide, do they get rid of him, or are they willingly sacrificing their family members so he can increase his net wealth (and that of his kids) at average Americans’ expense? Unfortunately I expect Americans will be “patriotic” and die to give Trump not only all their money but also their health and lives.

  Crashing the economy is the point, isn’t it. Every crash the richest few scoop up the assets and the peasants (most of Americans) settle for working for whatever scraps they can manage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on how conveniently the chargers are located. If you have a smaller battery and can go 200km you’ll need a charging station every 190km and mountainous terrain will change those distances as well. You many end up charging sooner than needed in order to get to the next charging spot. In reality it isn’t as bad as it sounds. I travel the BC interior with my short range EV and the savings in fuel make it worthwhile to stop more often. Even when I pay the high speed charging rates, it is about 1/4 the cost of gasoline per km but takes 15% longer time to get to destination vs our gas vehicle.
