@7f582921 in the 70s, I had Jack in the Box several times. No photos taken, we were an immature nation back then and didn't know we were supposed to photograph our food.
@246e513b Don't dismiss the 3 wheeled electric motorcycle... Give it a look. they should start production late this year. Just an option most people haven't even seen:

@246e513b , I wish I had learned this decades ago, but those guys who try to sell you insurance on the interwebsnet? They will sell a new years' insurance at an introductory rate, and if you switch providers every year, you can get the new rates every year. Totally worth it, but a pain in the butt to remember to do. And hundreds of phone calls to screen...
@246e513b , another tip, sell your cars. Am uber is getting to be cheaper than owning a car. And a neighborhood electric vehicle that doesn't need insurance or registration is next for me. And I just put a downpayment on a 3 wheeled electric motorcycle that should cost about $100 a year to insure.

@c22052a6@74aff7f9@e396cd52 , my reasons for not supporting her include, but are not limited to, her support of the police. She has decades of doing nothing to change the system. And overt support OF the system.
@b05df304@98042630 , I am talking about the next time China invades. If (when) they do it again.
Ya, complex history of the territory, like all history, and this format isn't the best.
@7ff2307e , I think if the TSA wants a different reputation that 'the guys who provide jobs to pedos' then they need to do something else, like catch a terrorist.
@8e8162cb I don't know... I was once in a green room with two punk bands and a troupe of exotic dancers, and somehow I feel it might not have been an issue to have a good porn reading...
@00b9ca39 I have a house about 30 miles from Ft Knox. Ya, the glasses will rattle in the cabinets when they do live fire exercises... But you get used to it.
@62a04c04 he can unilaterally launch an inquiry. Anyone can. It's just asking questions. You don't actually need to do anything but ask questions... and no results are needed or expected. No one has to help you. No votes needed.
@745ecb23 Looks like A-3s too... I doubt there is a single tank that can match those. Now it is up to the crews (or infantry) to make the best use of them.
@c6bb9771 I desire we become better strangers. You are incapable of understanding the point I was making. Also:
"Objective reality is in the eyes of the beholder."
Rarely is anything more insane ever posted.
@c6bb9771
"You THINK that consumerism is what makes the world twirl."
I am astonished that you can be so incredibly wrong.
Conservation of angular momentum is what keeps the world spinning. This is not debatable. It is simply fact.
@c6bb9771 Teslas are the best consumer cars in the world, currently, and possibly what will push for changes in the energy industry that will prevent catastrophic climate change. SpazeX is currently the only way for Americans to get to space. Paypal is how much of the consumer market pays for transactions.
Like it or not, you benefit from those companies. This is objective reality.
There are many facts that coexist side by side, inconveniently for people who want to see the world as black and white. Here are a few:
Tesla would not exist were it not for Elon Musk. He dumped his money into the car company, and created the company. Yes, there were guys before him that 'founded' the company, but they literally bought out another company to form Tesla, and bought the car they were trying to make, the Tzero. The Tzero wan't actually all that innovative either, as they were using car bodies from ANOTHER company. Space X wouldn't exist without Musk either. Paypal wouldn't exist without Musk.
Now, all that being said, the guy is still a monster, and blaming the Jews for the failure he created at twitter?? That's all on him. And now, if the stories are true about Ukraine, he needs to be arrested and tried for treason.
@3daeee8a , one of my favorite memories is while I was camping, and managed to walk back to my car to make lunch... While I was enjoying lunch and a book, a hummingbird decided to join me in the back of my van, and stayed with me for about 15 mins. I had all the windows and doors open, and he kept flying in and out, sitting on the headrests.
@b05df304@3fade11a@7e48f089@98042630
100 would be Genghis Khan. 0 would be government at all. Number lines are just a range. I just don’t see the need for anything other than whole numbers here. If you want to toss in authoritarians… then refer to the Nolan charts.
