He's lying through his teeth when he says it will ONLY cost $125 billion and take 3 years. It will likely take $500 billion and take 10 years if it even survives the budget of the next president. This is going to be such a massive, massive waste of time and money that the US will be actually vulnerable to the perceived enemies that we aren't vulnerable to now. He's going to kill useful programs in order to pay for this thing that will never work.

Sorry, best we can do is having the audience dodge roll every scene.

It seems to be mostly a euro thing. BMW stopped using oil dipsticks nearly 2 decades ago.

I was about to make this joke: "That's just not true. My 2008 BMW had a... holy shit, that car is nearly 2 decades old now." Then I went to confirm, and that car did NOT have a dipstick. The car came with 5 years of "free" service and never gave me a day of trouble, so I never realized it didn't have a dipstick. That's probably a major reason it was removed, since even a DIYer like me who likes to work on things myself never even tried to use the dipstick in 4 years.

Those of us who paid attention knew Musk and his companies were awful at least as early as 2014. All these Tesla bumper stickers that say, "I bought this before he went insane" or whatever are bullshit. He was an insane asshole 10 years ago, but you weren't paying attention.

It's wild how predictable it is. How can a city that is home to such a vibrant punk scene and surf culture be a bastion of fascist-dick suckers?

Wait, did you seriously reply that it was no longer "reportedly" and use as proof a source that says "IDF believes" twice with no actual proof? Seriously?

IDF believes something is not proof. It is the same as me saying, "I believe the IDF is intentionally killing civilians and using made up rationale for it by saying there are fighters in there." It is likely true, but it isn't a source of truth.

So the researchers are saying there is more load during mid-day but there is also excess capacity due to solar, and that is better than charging at 3am with low load but also low generation from renewables?

I'll try to remember to look into that tonight

You have very bad reading comprehension. The person you are quoting never praised Saudi Arabia and never said they were the saviors of anything.

A) "Reportedly" is the key word.

B) Is that really justification for murdering 28 innocent civilians in a hospital?

A couple years ago my non-gamer girlfriend came home from work and asked if I had ever seen the Leroy Jenkins video since I used to play WoW. I was like, "yes, yes I know about that video." She thought it was hilarious even though she had no idea what it meant.

My rarest that I still own is a full collection of Shakespeare works from the early 1800s bound in leather. It is absolutely beautiful but isn't worth much because the leather binding isn't original. I did have a signed leather bound copy of Ender's Game that was 1 of 2000 or something. I bought it for $200 brand new and sold it for $1500 a few years ago, though.

 

How dare you allow us to make this incredibly stupid mistake?!

Is there a way to force a sync/update of a federated community? When I go to https://soccer.forum I can see all kinds of recent activity. When I go to https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] I don't see any new posts for the last 16 days.

 

I found a very active soccer community randomly while surfing not logged in. When I got back to my computer that was logged in, I had the hardest time finding it. And when I finally found it, the community didn't show any new posts for the last 7 days and was far less active. I swapped to a different browser that wasn't logged into lemmy and could see all the newest posts.

So I tried subscribing to see if that would force a sync, but it didn't do anything.

Basically, when I'm logged into lemmy.world I cannot see any new posts on lemmy.world/c/[email protected] but when I'm logged out and go to the exact same address I can see all the newest posts.
