There’s an earlier bit that complements that nicely:

“it turns out that the core competency of smiling and promising people things that you can’t actually deliver is highly transferable.”

There are so many Java libraries that I would probably set on fire if they were physically tangible in any way.

I’m glad you confirmed that, but I’d be utterly surprised if it was any other reason.

if you’re actually interested, even the considerable powers granted in a state of emergency are defined by laws passed by Congress:

Um, no? In case you forgot, he championed a reform bill that got killed by Republicans:

It seems very likely that this uncharacteristically conservative move was calculated to produce these results. The house won’t pass any pro immigration laws, so letting the SC strike this down would let the administration essentially leave things where they were and say “can’t do anything else oh well”, effectively removing the topic from election discourse and putting the ball firmly in the Republican court, who won’t be able to get anything past the Senate.

haha no source, just a dumb joke.

Japan: Checkmate

They could replace the skin with foam board, but all that weight savings would just let them reduce the battery to save more on the manufacturing costs.

FYI, it only weighs about 400lbs more than the F150 Lightning, so the skin probably doesn’t add much weight over a traditional truck skin. The four wheel steering tech and glass roof probably add more.

It’s funny, the world was excited for basically a teched out Toyota Tundra with shitloads of battery. The designers were ready to build that, and they could have kept literally everything else the same (steer by wire, steel skin, glass, bed cover, etc) and everyone would have been happy.

Even looking weird people were excited for it.

But then they deleted half the range and doubled the price and ::pikachu face:: everyone hates it.

Sure, musk was the reason it looks weird, but I’d be willing to bet he’s 100% the reason for those other things too, because they likely had to cut weight and size to make it’s weird look physical possible.

(I’d still buy it if it had 500+ range)

Ah, so he boofed it.

Unless you’ve been DuckTypeCast, in which case you can be anything (this is what happened to Gary Oldman)

True polymorph is a hell of a drug.

Does Lemmy have a maps without New Zealand community?

SU is kind of the solarpunk of grim dark. The gem planet is shattered, their Earth is far less populated than ours is, at some point Russia was deleted! Yeah, it’s like, bright dark. Hopeful dark? grim bright?

SU is incredible. It gets so much better (AND ‘worse’). You’re not wrong! The writers are doing this on purpose, and they know exactly where they’re taking the story.
