Yeah Bush had a lot of Boris Johnson energy.

They’re jangling their keys in front of the Democrats now to:
I’m guessing that hyper-defensiveness is probably a survival tactic at Tesla.
Unibodies do have a frame it’s just not a completely separate assembly like a ladder frame.
As others have said there are lots of places to jack a car. Nobody uses the flange on the rocker panels unless they’re trying to change a tire roadside with the emergency jack.
We get crappy government by voting for it.
Yep, and our choices are Sideshow Bob or Grandpa Simpson. Vote wisely.
As a person who’s not a young adult anymore I’m not sure how or if it ever was. My young adulthood was full of angst, rumination, poverty, debt, etc. Looking back there were definitely good things that I miss, but I’m in such a massively better financial and mental place these days that I can’t imagine going back.
And before SpaceX the cost to do anything in space was extremely prohibitive.
As opposed to now…
With SpaceX they created re-usable rocket components
Nobody had done that before? Wasn’t the promise that they would do few quick checks, refuel, and send it back up same day?
Before SpaceX the U.S. was reliant on Russia’s soyuz to get us to and from the space station.
Nasa had do use Soyuz because crew dragon was late. SpaceX won the contract then underdelivered a late product. Basically exactly what ULA or Boeing would have done.
Wanna talk about Artemis?
Meta isn’t going to “buy anyone out” if they’re federated. They’ll just turn your instance into a portal into threads for everyone using your instance, then force your users to join threads by killing the link.

Smothering your competitor is always preferable to buying them out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H27rfr59RiE
I was there and I was using XMPP. Interacting with google chat slowly became the purpose of xmpp. Everyone who was using xmpp eventually found themselves talking mostly to google users. Then Google killed the link and every xmpp instance instantly became useless.
We can (and are) building a community without facebook. Or we can link to facebook and find that they quickly through sheer mass become the center of the lemmy community. And then comes the knife.
This is liberal cope.
I’ve seen tons of Bernie people from 2016 become Trupists. Several have become full-on groypers. The reason is clear: Bernie got curbstomped and these people are still looking for some other solution because they’re still precarious.
Liberals are still clinging to the basket of deplorables. They want to think that not being a liberal is a moral failing, or a sign of weak breeding or something. They can’t admit that all the punching left they’ve been doing over decades while scolding, preening, etc and sucking up to corporate elites they serve has created the terrifying right-wing moment that we’re in. And they’ll going to be smugly declaring themselves to be on the right side of history as they get thrown into the camps with the rest of us.
EDIT: by the way:
Yes, that is the “Gates” you’re thinking of.
