let me get this right, Tesla wants to put a reverse Oceangate sub disaster next to a select group of the richest idiots and Elon Musk stans alive... and you're booing?

Ah, the auto influencers have explained that this carbon fiber-wrapped ball, which sits right behind the driver's head, holds about 100kg of nitrogen pressurized to about 10,000 psi. Let me just go review the tolerances people found in their Cyber Trucks

Yet another reason why Canada (and any other country) shouldn't purchase the F-35 or any US tech smarter than a rifle round.

(Reuters) - The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, according to two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter. @reuters.com 🇺🇦 www.reuters.com/world/europe...

People were upset about a novel virus, the death and suffering it caused, and the social disruption to avoid more death and suffering. But getting mad at a virus isn’t emotionally satisfying. So find a person to blame, ideally someone you already hate. They victimized you! Yeah, that’s the stuff.

For anyone keeping score, the outcome of putting up all the cash in advance for a bridge owned equally by both sides is that the US will turn around and extort you for more money. Through this lens, there is no fucking way we should be buying the F-35 from these crooks.

I sort of feel like AMOC will be one of those terms like Covid - only a few science nerds whew what it was and then all of a sudden EVERYBODY knew what it was.

New research warns the Atlantic Ocean’s key current system (AMOC) is weakening faster than expected, with models now pointing to a ~42–58% slowdown by 2100—pushing it closer to a tipping point that could trigger irreversible global climate disruption.

Once, technology solved problems. People liked having problems solved, so they liked technology. Tech execs started to think of that sentiment as their due. So when they stopped solving problems, and people stopped liking them, they became outraged. "How dare you not love whatever we give you?"

I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia. But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

For any baseball fan that is looking to understand this whole curling rock touching fiasco, here is your comparison. It's a balk. It's not cheating. It's a minor violation that is fairly uncommon, has little effect on play and is not well understood even by those that play the game. #curling #🥌👈
