Newsom is as republican as the last republican governor, and he definitely wants to kill the homeless more. Don't hold your breath. He just wants to be talked about so he can have a failed run for president in 2028.

I appreciate a good bagpipe. Especially when they share a lot of tonal similarities with violins like this nightwish instrumental. https://youtu.be/yOxGlXmPusI

Probably multiple reasons. If it's a throwaway account they may want to cover the tracks. If it didn't get a response they were looking for, they may delete and recreate to avoid the double posting rules. They may have posted on the wrong account, or maybe the answer was so obvious they were embarrassed.

It should be pretty easy to pick out federal government plates, but I'm not unconvinced that they use rental cars to do the kidnapping.

Imagine only spending money at your place of employment because to spend it elsewhere would mean there's a trade deficit with that business. This is as dumb as that.

I worked retail in banking, so we saw them all the time, Kevins too. Kevins mostly just yelled and belittled you, Karens would try that, then resort to made up facts. For example, Karen give us an obvious counterfeit $100 bill. We say it's not worth anything and we legally have to keep it. She does the Karen stuff and then calms down and says, "Wait, the other teller gave it to me, so you're responsible for the counterfeit and I'm just giving it back." This resulted in people digging through the cameras to verify only that she received money, all in 20s.... Karen had by then went to whine to her loan officer and he said to draw it out of the bank's loan account... She got her way and wasted everyone's time.

Maybe Elon was on to something when Grok tagged everything with an unrelated diatribe about farmers in south Africa. Perhaps every AI model needs to be an activist about one random topic so we can tell them apart. Or ya know, maybe congress could do stuff to require their output be reverse searchable so we could just match up the output to what people say...

Now all Democratic leadership need to do is not align with Elon, challenge impossible?

Isn't he a big investor in Palantir?

So is your brother, Musk. Gotta love when the shittiest people you know air all their dirty laundry.

Miles of the most angry archetype of white dads broken down waiting for the same single Tesla charger within 50 miles. I wonder if it'll hit harder if there's no engine bay to pretend they're working on while the tow truck is on the way?

Don't really see a major disagreement here other than the direction of primary exposure, belts some how being protected behind a fan when the main exposure is from the sides, etc. Puddles have a lot more corrosion potential than rain/snow. Point isn't to seal, that's unrealistic, but rather to deflect enough that every puddle isn't pressure washing your engine bay with salt water. An example car where this was a major issue was a 97 galant, which had the crank shaft low and in alignment with the water jet from the driver side tire. There was a splash shield that directly intercepted the inner spray. I would classify that case as more than nominal protection.

Edit: Maybe you're working mostly on RWD cars, could explain our misunderstanding. I mostly work on FWD Sedans and AWD SUVs

 
 
 

Occasionally, on my daily walks, I see squirrels who aren't scared of humans and can catch detailed photos of them with only a smartphone. This one popped up from a dumpster to the ledge and seemed much more interested in eating than running.

 

This article is likely to become more and more relevant, but I wanted to highlight many of these heroes for a central theme, which is that not a single one of these people said, "I will not comply" to make themselves a target. They kept their power and used it to save thousands, or they forged documents or narratives through a normal process without drawing unnecessary attention to themselves.
