If you make the 13th month a holiday with no work, you have my support .

I'm gonna guess your fatigue was low from running. Paying attention to your fatigue (and some kind of melee weapon as a major skill) makes the game much less of a drag in the first few levels.

I'll admit Trump is a lot clumsier about saying it out loud, but 2000s Republicans were absolutely on the same wave. Being virulently anti-anyone-dark-than-an-italitan, actively eroding free speech, and hating anyone who worked for a living has been standard conservative shit since at least the 1800s. If anything, the 2000s Republicans had more of a war-boner to boot. Trump did in fact bring the facism home a fair bit more openly, but let's not mistake a new hairdo for a new political movement.

Anything they use to replace the word "layoffs".

Just a funny story, but, I use an Ubuntu laptop as my work computer as a teacher, and once, while I was helping another student with work, a student opened my laptop and began trying to install Roblox. She got far enough to figure out it wouldn't work, and started searching for how to install it. When I came over she was trying to figure out how to set up Wine. She got pretty close to getting it working before I came over. I was secretly pretty impressed with how fast she figured it out. It couldn't have been more than a few minutes.

Darwin and Wallace both hated that shit.

I suspect the devil is in the detail here. China is only the third largest supplier of auto parts overall at ~9%, after Mexico (41%) and Canada (10%). ^1^ But for some particular vehicles, China is a much more significant supplier^2^, and for some components, particularly components of EVs China is damn near the only supplier presently ^3^. Also this exemption seems to be set to decay over the next three years. This all reads to me as Trump making incentives for building out production for the worse kind of car that is less likely to grow in demand, and only putting those incentives in place for 3 years when it would take, like, 10 or 15 years to build the supply chain and production... All while locking us out of the fastest growing market for cars.

But it doesn't say "it can generate too much energy and damage infrastructure", they said "it can drive the price down". The words they chose aren't, like, an accident waiting for someone to explain post-hoc. Like, absolutely we need storage for exactly the reason you say, but they are directly saying the issue is driving the price down, which is only an issue if your not able to imagine a way to create this infrastructure without profit motive.

Hey isn't this the guy my ostensibly super "progressive" Democratic senators voted to confirm?
