For what it’s worth, my congress cretin is loving polishing trump’s asshole and ceding away congressional oversight to the executive branch. At a town hall lady week, he said that the DOGE department was always DOGE, they just changed the acronym (wat?!) and it was always under the executive branch, not an independent federal agency.

First good news I’ve seen since the election!

Agreed

The office of the state fire marshal definitely did not put down a fire hose. Or get up from their desk. (or did I get wooshed?)

eat it

They never do

a little bit

It’s never a little, and we all bitch about inflation.

There’s never a simple solution.

Why are columns 1 & 2 shifter between the two images? Makes comparison harder.

I don’t lift a damn thing and regularly swipe spoonfuls of peanut butter.

I’m probably gonna mess this quote up, but I thought it was brilliant:

“Privacy is essential to security, and shitty people feel entitled to take that away from you.”

You can’t be secure in your dealings or operate on equal footing (economically speaking, as others here have pointed out) without a measure of privacy.

Looks like he’s still got his shoes on; rub some dirt on it. He’ll be fine.

On the flip side, not every drone hit is going to be debilitating to armor. I catch myself going: “where’s the secondary explosion?” quite a bit, I want that Russian equipment destroyed, but sometimes I just don’t see the confirmation.

Zaphod, not Slartibartfast.

In my experience, the “quickest” are more fuel efficient than the “fuel efficient” routes, which take me through residential areas (where every intersection is protected, meaning a stop sign in at least 1 direction) or stair-stepping on county roads where the speed-up/slow-down cycle negates the benefit of driving on slower roads.

Any landing you can walk away from…

Being genuinely curious - how do the folks who advocate for the elimination of all personal cars (as it seems by the conversation) see that working in modern society?

The impression, as I perceive, is that the hardcore “fuck cars” devotees would “Thanos snap” and disappear the entirety of the car… society(?) Infrastructure, petrol, private transport ownership, roads… And I’d wager there’s a bit of crossover with the “fuck planes” and “ships” as well. I’m not saying that all of these don’t bring and have major problems that require big, expensive solutions/changes if we want to remain living. I’m asking: how would you propose dealing with global society that is accustomed to going 75 mph when they wake up one morning and they’re now going 2.5 mph?

Also trolleys don’t need asphalt. We could have grass all over our streets with plants that have free food for wildlife and those desperate. Probably wouldn’t have such bad natural disasters either

Until the first street-level flood, or even heavy rain for that matter - then your shit’s fucked.

Well, not really shocked.

Same thing we do with .local - “click here to proceed (unsafe)” :D

Set up my work’s network waay back on NT4. 0 as .local cuz I was learning and didn’t know any better, has been that way ever since.

Shit, Michael Reeves made a drone swarm publicly on YouTube, what, 10 years ago?
