Don’t touch the inside of a psu, this can kill you very rapidly and you’ll feel it the whole time.

Is that gamble worth the lives of nearly every living thing on the planet and the future of human civilization?

Russia alone has enough nuclear weapons to cause a mass extinction event. Even if no one else fires a single one, they could erase life as we know it.

If Putin sees a Leopard tank in Moscow, are you sure he wouldn’t order a launch? And if Britain or the French see those missiles and bombers, are you sure they won’t launch in retaliation?

That’s the logic that European leaders are operating under. If they pull the trigger on article 5 and launch a war with Russia, even if they win, everyone could still lose literally everything.

I thought all the hesitation was because of the nukes.

I’m pretty sure it’s the nukes.

Do you call a plumber every time your sink or toilet backs up?

Maintenance is one thing, major repairs are another.

I wouldn’t call a plumber first thing to unclog a toilet, and I wouldn’t go to a mechanic just for them to dump oil out and measure the right amount of oil back in.

Now if the engine is making weird noises, or it’s not shifting right or braking correctly, then yeah, go to a mechanic. Mechanics are way more familiar with internal workings and can diagnose strange issues.

And how exactly would they force the United States to do anything?

“Join Us or we’ll start a two front war to make you join us” is hardly a convincing argument.

Two words: Breakfast Sausage.

They use breakfast sausage instead of Italian for their sausage.

I ordered a pizza from there once and spit it out.

How do they still have business?

Are there any water filters that are proven to filter PFAS?

And what about irrigation water that is contaminated and sprayed on the organic crops?

I get the rich people hate, but this does feel like an issue that will impact literally everyone. Once something is in the water cycle it’s hard to get rid of it.

Only poor people eat produce and drink water?

The drama is that this is an entirely unnecessary step that adds extra work for the technician/owner that wants to change rear brake pads/rotors, which are a wear item.

I’ve been doing brakes on mine and my family’s cars for over a decade. It’s dramatically cheaper to buy pads and rotors and swap them myself, and if I do it myself I know that it was done right and there’s antiseize everywhere it should be. So now in addition to all the work of jacking the car up, removing tires, removing the calipers, depressing the caliper, cleaning the hub, coating the hub with antiseize, cleaning the guide pins, reinstalling and torquing everything to spec, I now have to get a battery/transformer/charger and wire into a sensor to tell the stupid fucking computer that the pads and rotors are new. Why can’t the computer use a position sensor to just detect that there’s now thicker material there? Why isn’t there just an option in the maintenance settings that you can press to say that you’ve done the work and to reset the maintenance interval? Fuck this shit, doing brakes is already a time sink if you live in the rust belt, and this system adds nothing but an extra cost or extra work to the person performing the work. There’s no safety gain from it existing, it’s fucking stupid.

This is renting, just the bank is your landlord and you’re responsible for all bills and repairs.

But is it very fascist, and that’s so hot right now.

I’m of the opinion that manufactures should be required to supply parts for appliances and equipment for a minimum of 10 years.

I just assume that I’ll either die as a casualty in the worlds dumbest war, or in a workplace accident once the idiots in charge fully dismantle the federal government and my boss no longer needs to listen to osha.

Or the Fedbois come for my family.

Retirement seems kinda like a pipe dream.

The United States might let them on the roads, but the rest of market won’t.

12 million vehicles basically guarantees they have to sell overseas, and for Tesla that pretty much means Europe and Australia, which both have more strict vehicle safety standards than the US.

It’s not gonna happen.

That’s why I love 24 hr time keeping

I know right, I lived there for nearly 500 years and never saw a single vampire!

Humans do not currently have the technology to create long term, self-sustaining closed ecosystems.

No one on earth has successfully created one, and biodome was cut short due to private equity buying it out and basically forcing the project to shut down.

The billionaire bunkers may be designed for long term survival, but they will have a finite amount of food at least. Water can be replaced via wells, electricity can be generated with SMNRs(if the billionaires even own those), and food may be able to be supplemented for a while with grow lights, but eventually the soil will deplete due to not having a sustainable ecosystem.

All we have to do is poor concrete in front of the entrance and wait.

My issue with chipotle has always been that the food is lukewarm.

I’m not paying 20 dollars for a lukewarm, lightly seasoned burrito.

SONs

Is that his male children or one of their names?

What have you run into that sticks out to you?

I’m curious because I’ve been on Linux full-time for 2 years now and an avid user for years before, but my friend is thinking of switching and I want to know what he might need help with.
