Maybe her and Kanye got brain worms from RFK?

Doesn’t toxoplasmosis make people do weird shit when it infects their brains? It would be interesting to find a causal link in all this conspiracy antivax bullshit.

I used to think it was purely ego, but recently another thought has occurred.

He has to attack the crowd sizes because it shows how many Americans are out there to vote for her. In the places that most of his voters live, they’re surrounded by other Trumpets, and they put up lots of signs and are super loud about it. Which creates the illusion that nobody is voting for the Dems. This makes the claims that the election is rigged or stolen more credible to his followers. I hear it from my local trumpets all the time; “Nobody I know voted for Biden”, implying it had to be stolen.

So if there is all this coverage of how big her crowds are, it creates more cognitive dissonance for (at least some of) his followers.

But it also could just be his narcissism and ego. I don’t really know.

Chaulked right full of urea based glues though. If it’s new sleep with the windows open.

Bozo and The Edgelord.

Founders of the concept that you too can make money by lying to a webcam.

Plastic clothes (polyesther) are basically inescapable now as well, and a huge source of microplastics.

Aahhh, that makes sense.

There are still some major problems with the Semi trucks too though, but purely thermodynamically.

Probably going to take overhead charging on shorter routes to work. The Mid-west US is going to take swappable batteries or a huge leap in charging and capacity.

Have you seen the guy who was inspecting his new truck and sliced his wrist open in the exposed edge by the tail light?

Also the leading edge of the truck is absolutely a pedestrian murdering device.

Most modern trucks are also terrible and need to have pedestrian safety rules applied to them, but at least they aren’t made with “bullet proof” sheets of stainless steel with literally knife sharp leading and trailing edges.

The uses/advantages of quantum computing is also such that if it does work, the 3 letter agencies will want to keep it to themselves and decrypt as much as possible before admitting it even exists.

Have you tried adding lemon juice to plain water?

I do it for the taste when our town water is over chlorinated (certain times of year), but I’ve heard that it helps prevent kidney stones as well.

They assume they’ll be fine since they’re white. That’s all.

I didn’t mind the last scene. Showing the slave labor behind the building of the empire’s mega weapons is kinda interesting and makes their struggle in the prison factory even more futile feeling.

That said, I’m also worried that the writers and directors of the first season are gonna have a harder time working without D+ meddling.

Crossing my fingers in the mean time.

Roadsters/sports cars are always about brand prestige, but that doesn’t necessarily help the bottom line, most often it the pet project of an auto exec. VW lost money on every Veyron it sold.

The cyber truck is an even dumber pet project, and really shouldn’t be legal as US such a danger to bystanders. It’s stubborn design is also much more expensive to produce, especially to achieve an acceptable fit and finish.

I was replying to a comment that was prescribing a post to financial success for Tesla.
