Much like my witnessing PETA protestors screaming in the face of little children with a bullhorn because they happened to be waiting in line for the circus. I can support removing elephants from a life of circus performing, but I absolutely cannot stand PETA (for this and other reasons like euthanizing people’s pets).

ShepherdPie ,

Yeah this is totally selfish and just brings attention to them while harming their supposed cause.

ShepherdPie ,

I don’t know if the euthanasia stories are true, but I witnessed the screaming into bullhorns personally as I was also waiting in the line with my kid.

$1000-$2000 cars are the $500 beaters from 10+ years ago. I wouldn’t say most people are looking in this price range and they’re usually on their last leg and the cheapest option for a car. There are cellphones that cost more than this now.

ShepherdPie ,

Those “more affordable foreign cars” are only priced that low because the Chinese government is subsidizing them so much, which is only temporary and lasts just as long as it takes to put their competitors out of business.

This is a race to the bottom just like states giving trillion dollar corporations billions in tax breaks as an incentive to move to their state. At the end of the day, it just harms everyone and should be avoided, which is why the US and EU are putting tariffs on Chinese EVs. They’re still free to sell them at the real cost and actually compete with everyone else.

ShepherdPie ,

You’re literally describing every new car now, whether EV or ICE.

ShepherdPie ,

There’s the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt/Spark, Mini Cooper EV, Hyundai Kona/Ioniq 6, Fiat 500e and more. These qualify for subsidies if purchased new plus all the gas savings make them decently affordable or you can always buy them used as most people do.

Most people are going for the midrange models like the Model Y, Model 3, Ioniq 5, etc though since it’s not really ideal to buy the ‘worst’ version of something when making a large purchase. People want more range, space, and features. Even with ICE cars, the subcompacts sell/sold pretty poorly.

ShepherdPie ,

If you go to canyouseeme.org and test your Plex port does it show as open?

Your new ISP might have CG-NAT meaning you don’t get your own IPv4 address and can’t be connected to directly.

Also stream a movie from your phone while connected to cellular data and then check that stream on the Plex admin screen to see what it says. IIRC the Plex Relay is fixed at 1mbps

ShepherdPie ,

She wants to fuck with him but is to cowardly to do it to his face.

ShepherdPie ,

Not fuck him but fuck with him. Although with Boebert giving a hand job to some Democratic aide at a theater performance with children in attendance, maybe she does want to fuck him.

ShepherdPie ,

“Best we can do is approve another merger to allow them to grow bigger”

ShepherdPie ,

Replaced by the ruling capitalistic class decades ago? When exactly have we ever not been ruled over by these people?

ShepherdPie ,

But we’re people not machines.

ShepherdPie ,

Well back in the 1990s, Tommy Lee Jones and the LAFD used jersey barriers, fire trucks, and knocked a building over to stop a lava flow from demolishing the west side of Los Angeles, so I’d say we’re pretty impressive too.

ShepherdPie ,

I recently began rewatching Parks & Rec and this guy is totally Marshall Langman

ShepherdPie ,

The actual ad is hilarious as he does look exactly the same in both photos except in the “after photo,” his skin is more flushed looking.

ShepherdPie ,

It looks like broccoli and potatoes but it’s probably cilantro and… potatoes?

ShepherdPie ,

I was going to comment the same excitement to someone else who used it above but couldn’t think of a good way to phrase it without sounding mildly bigoted.

ShepherdPie ,

Black Friday is definitely a good option. I’ll also point out that WD and Seagate are working on 20TB-30TB drives that should be coming out in the next couple of years which should, in theory, drive the prices down further for smaller capacity drives.

ShepherdPie ,

I find this a bit odd as you make it seem as if ordering is a complicated process that takes some thought and planning. The whole draw of McDonalds is that you get the exact same food wherever you may be and their options are fairly limited. Ham/cheeseburger, chicken burger, fish sandwich, or nuggets is pretty much your array of options.

I personally dislike the ordering screens as they make the process way to drawn out. Let me just pick a #1, the size, and the drink and be done with it in 3 taps. Last time I used one, it wanted me to basically build my own meal as if I was ordering Dominoes online and building my own pizza.

ShepherdPie ,

Also clothes, houses, and the internet aren’t natural either but it doesn’t stop these same people from using them.

ShepherdPie ,

Maybe they have 14 kids. Tickets are around $200 per person per day now though IIRC.

ShepherdPie ,

A Gameboy and Stanley cup are both items other kids would see you with. Going on a vacation away from all your peers seems like a weird way for kids to peer pressure each other.

ShepherdPie ,

“We have a hole in the side of the ship, but I, your elected leader, have liberally sprayed a can of flex seal on the hole.”

ShepherdPie ,

How realistic is this though?

I thought most people slap a GoPro on their drone (admittedly know very little about the hobby) and how would China secretly be transmitting so much data (4k video) without anyone noticing?

Plus if they want surveillance video, they can just have someone fly their own drone here and capture exactly what they want without having to wade through tons of junk that isn’t important to them.

ShepherdPie ,

Same here. I also don’t see the issue with it. It. Very much fits the vibe of DS9 and TNG and gave us some very iconic characters.

ShepherdPie ,

When they send the emails at night, it’s called nocturnal emishing. It’s a serious problem that affects thousands of people each night.

ShepherdPie ,

It isn’t 1970 anymore. Those three manufacturers are barely a blip on the radar in the US.

ShepherdPie ,

Perhaps “barely a blip” wasn’t the most accurate phrasing but they’re not exactly crushing the competition. GM is at 16.5% while Toyota is #2 (14.4%), Ford #3 and Hyundai is #4. Stellantis isn’t even a US company so I don’t know why people still think of Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep as American brands. The whole market is pretty mixed and these tariffs on Chinese vehicles are protecting the market not US companies.

…yahoo.com/…/teslas-us-market-share-now-tops-volk…

The bailouts were given to save US manufacturing jobs and all these companies besides Ford have fully paid back those loans.

ShepherdPie ,

He probably thinks it refers to Mitt Romney.

ShepherdPie ,

AFAIK this is only required if you apply for financial aid for college.

ShepherdPie ,

This is just like Apple and Samsung removing the charger from the cellphone box and claiming it’s for the environment when in reality it’s because now they can charge you $30+ more to buy one separately that comes in a second box.

Stellantis consistently builds some of the worst cars in the world and have been ignoring electrification for too long. They have a dim future once the Charger/Challenger are gone and this is just a cheap trick to attempt to revise their image.

ShepherdPie ,

Stainless doesn’t really rust out as most of the iron is gone.

ShepherdPie ,

SCHP said the truck was coming off the Nash Street beach access onto the beach when the truck hit the woman.

When the truck hit her or when the cop driving it hit her? I hate this bullshit language is always used to protect the police in articles like this.

ShepherdPie ,

That happened a few hours south in Oregon too. A DEA agent allegedly working with a team doing surveillance fell behind the group so he decided to speed and run stop signs through a residential area in an undercover vehicle. He ran over a woman riding her bike and killed her.

The local police department bent over backwards to stall and cover everything up until word got out. The DEA agent was given qualified immunity by the courts and cannot be held responsible for the crime.

ShepherdPie ,

I guarantee you every single person on that beach had a computer on them without this sort of protection. What equipment do police really need while driving around on a beach? A laptop at most?

ShepherdPie ,

So when you buy a ticket you’re really paying for the olives on the salad, and the flight is just a bonus on the side?

ShepherdPie ,

The spokesperson said that the Tesla was in self-drive mode and **the driver admitted to being on a cellphone at the time of the crash. **

That seems to answer all the questions about this accident.

ShepherdPie ,

They’d never do that to an incumbent candidate.

ShepherdPie ,

Yes these are the same people that tell you that Biden hasn’t gotten anything impactful done because the president really doesn’t have that much power while following that up with claims that Trump would completely end democracy the minute he gets elected. This is a variation of an argument first coined by fascists who claim that their enemy is both weak and all powerful.

ShepherdPie ,

Whose pushing the top dems to be more progressive? If anything it’s thenexact opposite. We essentially have two right wing parties now.

ShepherdPie ,

Or they’ll just hide it like they did with Reagan. Someone at this level isn’t just going to give up that office.

ShepherdPie ,

I think they would have a decent future if they dropped this guy. His personal “brand” used to bring a lot of value and attention but now it’s just an anchor weighing all these companies down.

ShepherdPie ,

Bruh, it’s just basic math.

ShepherdPie ,

Looks like only the S and X still use 18650s. The 3 and Y are using larger 2170 cells and apparently they’re also buying from LG not just Panasonic.

ShepherdPie ,

Sodium batteries are cheaper and less volatile I believe but they’re also much less energy dense meaning you need a heavier pack to get a similar amount of range (which also reduces range from the extra weight). I think they’re better suited for stationary applications like solar banks and other energy storage solutions.

ShepherdPie ,

Imagine being in that line of work and having to tell people you’re a “snake oil salesman.”

ShepherdPie ,

Yes, burying their heads in the sand and downvoting any legitimate criticism of our out-of-touch politicians is sure to make the problem go away.
