A high-coke rail off a hand rail on high-speed rail.

Tesla announced they can do this before they even announced the price of the cybertruck. As part of the buyer agreement, there is a stipulation that the original buyer can’t sell the cybertruck until one year after getting it, and that breaking the agreement could result in the vehicle being remotely deactivated.

Honestly, that’s probably what happened here, it was probably less that Elon personally deactivated it, but that it was sold to an intermediary, who then broke the Tesla agreement by “selling” it within the first year, getting it remotely disabled. Alternatively it may have just been a stolen cybertruck, which probably get it deactivated as well.

Those are local outages due to trees causing downed lines, squirrels getting into transformers, motor vehicle accidents, etc. They aren’t the same as the blackouts like you get from an overloaded or strained power grid like they have in Texas.

I just hand them my debit card inside and tell them what I want. Usually with an apology that I haven’t filled out a deposit/withdrawal form. Most of the time the teller will say it’s fine and the same amount of work for them either way. I’m sure it depends on the bank or branch, and I personally try to avoid the bigger banks like Bank of America or Chase just because their fees are so much higher and I hear their service is worse, so that’s probably a factor as well.

Yeah, 2019 had a reboot with David Harbor as Hellboy.

I’ll be impressed when you that down to a subatomic size so you can fuck a solid block of steel because your penis fits in the space between the atoms.

I want to like this, but some of that mocap animation looks really off. Especially in those scenes with the idol and where indie is slamming down that stone. Looks like the mocap actor was holding back and that the idol weighs less than it should. It’s probably going to be okay, but after the excellent mocap work in games like God of War, where the animation really conveys a sense of weight, and in comparison to the Indiana Jones films this looks a bit floaty and like Indie is pulling his punches.

Chromium is to the modern internet what Internet Explorer was in the mid 2000s. It’s not as stagnant (thankfully), but as far as market share and giving one oversized tech giant arguably too much power over the internet, we’ve basically come full circle.

I felt like Nova’s not being special was what made it special. It was the closest to stock android while having a bunch of little tweaks here and there that allowed for more custom setups.

Watching Trump’s press conference from Mar-a-lago the other day, and hearing his excuses for why he isn’t out on the road campaigning, it struck me that the narrative that he’s moping around depressed that he’s losing isn’t the whole story.

He’s got Vance out pretending to campaign, while he and his buddies are sitting around coming up with plan B. He’s probably had calls with dozens of Republican governors and is getting teams of “alternate electors” together (the Stephen Miller interview on Ari Melber’s show made it pretty clear that they still see that as a perfectly legal strategy). Donald may know “it’s over” but that just means he’s going to get more desperate and we’ve already seen what desperate Trump can do with 2 months of prep, I’m not looking forward to seeing what he can do with 5 months.

Because good people - the people who would make the best leaders, aren’t narcissistic enough to believe they should run for president. They’re happy helping in whatever way they can, but they generally don’t have the audacity to think they have any business trying to run for the most powerful position in government. Partially because they’re humble, but also they aren’t in it for power, they just want to help people.

There’s definitely a conversation to be had that the role of president should be one of humility and neighborliness, but there’s a group of voters in America who just want somebody who can throw their dick around on the world stage and intimidate the rest of the world like a pro wrestler. And most politician types try to be both the helpful neighbor and pro wrestler, but end up seeming fake and not very genuine because usually both the macho and the neighborly aspects are an act, and they just want power.

The article doesn’t mention anything about the weight, so to satisfy my own curiosity I just got a rough measurement of the weight of a spoon head (I didn’t remove the handle from the spoons I measured, so instead I let the handle rest on the counter, off the scale). Based on what I could come up with, that many spoon heads would weigh between 1.5 and 2 kilograms. Which seems quite high, and many of the spoons on that outfit look quite a bit larger than the ones I measured (although they might be thinner or a lighter metal).

I wonder if the designer did anything to dampen the noise as well, because that many spoons rattling with every step seems like it would be quite loud.

There is more to schedule when doing large rallies than just the flights, Even just getting venues lined up on what is probably a short notice compared to most events those venues host. It’s probably easier to spend a little extra money and time on flights than try to coordinate all your venues and flights to minimize travel distance.

When those of us who actually bothered to vote for Biden in our primaries this year, Kamala was on the Ballot as well. And while I can’t speak for everyone, I voted with the understanding that Biden probably wouldn’t live to complete a second term, and my vote was as much for Harris as it was for Biden. Harris was democratically elected as Biden’s replacement if something happened to him. It’s valid to say the circumstances were a bit unexpected, but we still voted with the understanding that she was almost certainly going to have to step up at some point.

Just don’t literally eat Elon, unless you want to overdose on ketamine.

It would make his whole “shark vs electrocution” rant a moot point if he can’t swim at all, which sounds very on brand for him.

Sex-ed is now just Ezekiel 23:20 “There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.” (NIV)

Technically their beloved KJV is a bit less graphic, “For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.” But that gets funny in a different way since “asses” as a more common use these days.

I’d take Katie Porter as well, I know she isn’t as progressive as Warren or AOC, but since she lost her Senate bid to Schiff, she’s not doing anything else, and has quite a bit of goodwill even among non-liberals for her whiteboard takedowns of CEOs and pentagon waste.

In some ways it makes sense if one or more candidates are people we know very little about, just to give us all time to get to know them, and to give them time to reveal more about who they really are. But when we already know as much about the candidates as we do this year, 3 months is more than enough.

Katie Porter isn’t doing anything now that she lost her Senate bid to Schiff, and has made some fans even in conservative circles for her whiteboard explanations and takedowns of pharma CEOs and pentagon overspending.

I know a bunch of people say Kamala needs a white man for VP, but I’m not sure that tracks logically, sexists aren’t going to suddenly be okay with a woman just because she has a man as VP.
