And given that American voters exist in a 2 party system, nobody should be under the illusion that they have any other choice. Don't encourage people to delude themselves into thinking there is a better alternative. They're right, you're right, what's the best option?

Gotta ask, what would you propose that would curb Elon from willfully committing crimes as he is?

He continues to do so because he's proven the system is broken as soon as someone is sufficiently wealthy. He fights the charges, then when that runs out he fights the amounts, and even when he does get his comeuppance to the tune of 44 billion, he's an even bigger brat cause he finally got stood up to. Do you think that there's a way to systematically even the playing field?

It's amazing how the political group with an obvious Nazi problem has become more pro-judaism than the ADL. I bet it's confusing the hell out of their voter base.

Even if it worked, that's just more hypocritical nonsense.

"Biden messed up, these 13 Americans are dead. Not quite as many people as I killed by messing up a pandemic response, or by blowing the cover of American spies, but if I get in office again I'm sure my decisions will kill a lot more people. What were we talking about again?"

The most bastardly thing they could do, right? The explanation is that processing costs money, so wifi via cloud only bullshit is getting expensive. Also, we're disabling the only other viable alternative, effectively bricking all remote features intentionally. Why? Fuck you, that's why.

I know a generally wonderful human being, taking care of his disabled parents, scraping by at a manufacturing job. He is hardcore against unions, says that he can negotiate for himself.

We're fucked.

Those are fair points, but I can't help but chuckle that they were brought to justice because they stole from millionaires and other billionaires to make their ill gotten gains. Probably woulda got away with it if they just stole from the poor and middle class.

You don't get to make $100 billion dollars and feign ignorance about how you got it and the damage you caused to obtain it.

Don't you? I can't think of any instance of justice truly being served to billionaires, can you?

Well those answers cost money. They want cheap clear answers that don't cost much, like a pizza party.

I'm in the same exact boat. I'm glad we got lucky, but you shouldn't have to get lucky to fulfill basic needs like housing. Shits busted and I hope it gets better for others soon.

I believe that lithium ion and lithium iron phosphate fires are generally put out by lowering the temperature of the reaction to the point that it can't self sustain. Dumping it overboard in a vast supply of frigid water actually would put it out, provided it sinks.

It's also a really really bad idea environmentally.

We're not really that unique. We're not consciously or likely even unconsciously referencing that thread or others like it. We're just coming to the same witty conclusions those before us did.

Even your comment comes up every time there's a similar thread or experience. Mine too.

Happy New Year, btw.
