My shitty VW work van that runs 160km doesn't lose much battery in winter, but I've not had it out in more than -20c. People keep expecting it to lose a lot of battery but maybe having a terrible battery helps.

He did blow up a pipeline in fairness.

Gotta know for his fetish folders.

His fit makes his feet and hands look tiny.

He is celebrating how the US "completely demolished" the Houthis in one night because it owns the tankies or whatever. It shows just how shallow this shit is to him, he would rather own the tankies than anyone do something material to help the people he supposedly also supports.

And then he and his fans grasped onto Saudi propaganda to justify why it was right to bomb Yemen.

It has started, but it is going to get so much worse. It is still at the point where you can find a contractor by putting in their exact name within the first 5 results, it is almost never the top result though. Once it gets worse than that I think yellow pages would start looking a lot more useful.

“AI” is accelerating the SEO bs as it is easier to automate. Search engines are still easier to use than looking something up in a set registry, but the clock is ticking.

I give it 5 years before search engines are completely unusable. Back to the age of encyclopedias we go.

I did it. I was there and drove a stake into the corpse of Lenin, thus dissolving the Soviet Union.

Just average lib show that libs love with a message about having a positive outlook or whatever. Another feel good american sitcom designed to be on in the background to drown out your existential dread.

I refuse to watch it as I am 95% sure that the football bits of it would piss me off.

Those takes also rely on thinking that price increases only happened the last 2 months.

I can at least do the onboarding for the techs, but I'm also pretty much expected to do it for the people that are supposed to be my managers as they often don't know what they're supposed to be doing and they keep coming and going. Having to teach my commercial manager to read a contract was a bizarre experience.

Nobody knows what they're doing, and if they do they just keep getting responsibilites until they don't have enough time to do their jobs and burn out. I've found a fairly happy medium of not giving a shit while being overworked.

I think using actual powers or magic isn’t a great way to explore bigotry in the same way as making non-human races an obvious expy for POC. But that is more of a genre criticism.

We should genocide the obvious minority expy in this work of fiction is certainly a take though.
