It is more insane. The people controlling trump were ready for a win this time. They weren’t in 2016, but they rectified that mistake by getting closer to him and stroking his ego while telling him what to do.

Even if it had hurt or killed only the intended targets (who were correctly identified and all), and no one else, you’d have to be some kind of sociopath to celebrate something like this.

These beeper gifts are insane. How would Japan react if the US gave them a fake atomic bomb as a gift on the anniversary of the first atomic bomb drop?

Our Mazda 3’s adaptive cruise thought a car that was exiting was in our lane and hit the brakes, right in front of a car I had just passed. Sorry, dude, I made the mistake of trusting the machine.

Incidents like that made me realize how far we have to go before self driving is a thing. Before we got that car, I thought it was just around the corner, but now I see all the situations that car identifies incorrectly, and it’s like, yeah, we’re going to be driving ourselves for a long time.

Well it also involves taking care of the families of his employees that were killed in the 9/11 attacks. But, yeah.

I was hoping this guy would be different, based on his back story. But, nope, clearly he’s drinking the Flavor-aid as well.

If bird flu is such a minor issue, I say we inject it into Donald Trump, JD Vance, RFK Jr., and Elon Musk. Demonstrate how safe it is. Do it. Come on. DO IT YOU WUSSES.

I mean, that seems empathic to me - you are relating to her (potential) feelings.

This is why they came out with the new $10/month for 10 gb plan. They know the White House isn’t actually going to use it.

I have a computer in the basement that I pretty much only use for Zwift (an online cycling game). For whatever reason it doesn’t have that TPM chip, despite the fact that I bought it in 2021 or so. So it won’t upgrade to Win 11.

But…it turns out Zwift runs great under WINE…so now it runs Debian with WINE. (Which probably wasn’t my best choice - should have gone with something a little more up to date - but it does work.)

“The chickens are revolting!” “Finally, something we agree on.”

Fair, but I’m sure he’s arrogant enough to believe it, too.

Our Mazda completely gave up trying during a heavy rain storm one time. Like, gee, thanks, the one time I could use help with knowing where the lines on the road are, and the car just is like, nah, you’re on your own.

I love how far I had to read before it was clear that it’s not what Trump has; it’s what people who disagree with him apparently have.

Diseases are often named after their victims…

Also, and this is buried in everything he is doing, but how arrogant do you have to be to assume that every person disagrees with him just because he’s Donald Trump, and not because there are valid concerns?

I love that movie and still quote it. “And we’re the chickens!”

Good point. It’s still an odd term to describe fighter planes.

I am a native English speaker. It sounds like something someone who was translating from another language would say. “Soldiers” is the really common term.

Warfighters?

Oh it’s much worse, I bought it in 2022. Unfortunately options for that type of service are extremely limited, in fact that’s the only one. I held out because I was hoping he’d have to sell SpaceX after the Twitter debacle.

We pause the plan and use it as little as possible. We thought we might use it again this summer, but his decree means we don’t need it. The money is nothing to him, I know, but it’s amusing that his actions directly mean he won’t get more from us.

But I already have to go buy a Tesler. Not doing so is illegal!
