Yeah, this feels wrong.

Anyone else remember what a huge deal windows 95 launch was? With The Rolling Stones.

It always struck me that “start me up” was used for the launch, since the chorus has “you make a grown man cry” in it. It could just be my 16 year olds sense of humor at the time though.

Sorry but Return to Cookie Mountain fromTV on the Radio is great, and staring at the sun was on their first album. But I was at peak concert going age in 2003 when that came out so I’m biased toward that.

Seeds is my second favorite album (after Cookie) and still pretty underrated though.

Plus it’s much thicker stiffer steel (that still rusts) so even a 6 footer like me is fucked if I get hit crossing the street.

Trucks need pedestrian safety standards and designs like this (and all the other stupidly tall grills) need to go first.

Like the glovebox that is only opened by an icon on the screen?

Naw, their long term fucked by the Cybertruck pr-orders. They can’t reliably manufacture it quickly enough to make good profit on it. Firing 20% of their manufacturing people is likely just gonna make building them harder.

And they have to build like 750k more of them at a rate of less than 100k per year.

Long term fucked by a child’s design of a truck.

It interesting that the memory is so discrete that it can be reprogrammed when a single ROM fails. And it’s really neat that they made the whole thing accessible to a radio controlled boot loader. The planning that went into building and maintaining Voyager is really incredible.

I wonder if we could still build one as robust these days?

If he isn’t a sociopath, he’ll go on to advocate for basic income, housing rights, universal healthcare, and free education.

I’m not gonna hold my breath though.

While I agree with your Zeno’s Paradox method, the previous commenter’s counting method better reflect the absurd kid-gloves approach that the “justice” system has been treating that scumbag with.

It not possible that the Russian Mafia has more power that the Russian Government? Or are you saying they are one in the same?

Yeah Hillary called them deplorable. Not that I consider that going low either though.

His image is actually the only thing he really cares about. Which sadly makes sense because it’s also the only thing he should have when this is all over.

Why would he want to? Trump wants to give Ukraine to Russia anyway. Which is probably Mikey’s reasoning anyway.

That and the fact that most of the billions of dollars ends up back on US arms producers’ balance sheets anyway.
