Perhaps. But as I understand it we have the most water of any nation in the world, so we should be more discriminating in what we let leave the border. Even if it's just a bargaining chip during this tariff war.

The US hasn't technically torn up any treaties, so we don't have to either, let's just "suspend" them. Seems they have no qualms doing so ...

Are there any minor failures in your Tesla that you can claim warranty against? I wouldn't begrudge anyone stuck with one now who bought in the past, but a sort of civil disobedience, aimed at costing the company as much as possible, would be an ethical imperative here. Claim any warranty repair you can. Be a 'picky' customer. Make support and sales spend extra effort and money in any way possible for your property. After all, you paid for it, make them spend as much money as possible.

When our last TV which was 'smart' died, we just bought a big lcd monitor at the pawn shop. We already were only using Kodi on an Android box, so a monitor with external speaker is fine. (Seemed spyware free last time I checked, but beware no-name android media boxes on=from eBay etc., use a tiny or old spare PC instead if you wish).

One must 'sail the high seas' tovget content, of course...

The man never stopped placing himself strategically to further enrich himself.

Selling $950M is ONLY CUTTING to 9% stake? Holy WTF.

And never, never EVER forget that he set back computing technology by at least a decade with his bullshit at Microsoft.

Heh, 'garbage language' or 'garbage-collected language'? Until Go I considered the two to be the same :)

But yeah... the tooling is a strong point IMO.

(Package management went downhill once the whole GOPROXY thing was introduced. When 'go get' was the simplest way to fetch packages, things were great IMHO ... but I'm not doing big enterprise-y stuff so maybe my view is too narrow as to the issues of 'vendoring', version management etc.)

Young whelps! I could debug my programs by putting an FM radio beside my rig and listening to the interference :P

Yow! that looks pretty awesome. I installed it and added the Nebula plugin... wonder if there's a CuriosityStream one as well?

Wow. This describes me and myself, but also my wife and me (and, to be fair, me and my wife) :p
