I want to know which Chevy truck this is and what viewing angles it has. If it's one of the newer ones where the grill goes above 5 feet, yeah fuck the car and the human driving it.

I have no idea why I assumed HOA. Sorry.

Thank you for the info.

Thank you for the info. I guess I have HOA PTSD for me to assume it was an HOA. I read quotes and somehow I assumed it was HOA.

Sorry.

~~HOAs are stupid. $400,000?!~~

Edit: Not an HOA. Sorry.

I figured the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park would have clothes to promote the merch.

Imagine seeing a hat on a trex?!

As the U.S. government decided to restrict some technologies to China, it should have been more serious about these restrictions. But due to a somewhat permissive licensing policy maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce, due to the Chinese firms being able to smuggle or buy these technologies on the black market, due to the fierce resilience of companies like Huawei that refused to fail, and due to the very extensive lobbying efforts of American companies to continue to supply to Chinese customers, the export control policy was severely weakened.

I never really thought about the black market. If each country has a different tariff depending on their relationship to this administration, then a country that doesn't comply can still get what they need from the US through other countries. Really best of both worlds.

It doesn’t make sense to turn off the U.S. as an attractor to some of the scientists yearning for some aspect of freedom, and it doesn’t make sense to deport a lot of people who could form the manufacturing industrial base in the U.S.

I never understood why the US would educate people and then try to kick them out in a short time frame. You are basically making other countries better and gaining little from it.

If this really about protecting kids, they could've done opt in blocking at the ISP level. Just a few new fields with ISPs and they have products that can take care of this already.

This is really about tracking every little thing you do online.

It should fall on the parents and ISPs should have an opt in option to block adult websites.

But we all know this is more about control and data harvesting than anything else.

Maybe the AI doomers are right.

Also having no state income tax doesn't mean you take more home, it means companies adjust the salary so you basically take home the same or even less. Sales tax is also high, about the same as NYC and SF.
