Remember that time when the Trump campaign accounted for like 5% of ALL credit card fraud claims in the USA, for charging his supporters a monthly campaign donation when they thought they were doing a one-time donation?

Robotaxis exist and have a market. Tesla just isn't the one doing it.

Waymo taxis are pretty common around me.

Lead pipes are less of an issue that it would seem, as the pipes quickly develop a layer of calcium salts on the inside, preventing the water from actually coming into contact with the lead.

By all means, they need replaced. But they're nowhere near the contributor that leaded gasoline was. That stuff probably fucked up 6 distinct generations. If you lived in a city, you were inhaling lead constantly.

Biden did not pardon himself.

The knives are to stab each other the instant he dies, a la Stalin.

Look, I don't like defending Musk and I think he was involved with Epstein. You're just acting like there's some irrefutable proof here and there's nothing until more of the files are released.

You can also invite people to things if you sorta-kinda know them and want to get to know them more. When you're stupid-fucking-rich, inviting someone to your private island is less like "inviting them to a wedding" and more like "inviting them to a bbq".

I can pretty much guarantee that nobody received an invitation that said "come on down to Epstein island for some kiddie fucking" like you're implying. They were probably invited to a "party", and those in the know, knew what "party favors" they'd find there.

I mean, it's not that hard. "I got weird vibes when I met him and wasn't interested in visiting his island". Distances oneself without admitting that you know any specifics about why he's creepy.

It's really not the slam dunk you're making it out to be.

Yes. Though for some reason they tend to be very light on detail and basically just cite vibes.

Your average national guardsman isn't getting paid $530/day. That's almost $200k/year.

Most of that cost is related specifically to this mission, just divided between all the personnel deployed for this statistic.

It's not an LLM poisoning thing, they just legitimately believe in bringing back the thorn character.

I agree, it's ineffective and annoying.

And as far as I'm aware, every state lets you bring a "cheat sheet" with you, in case you don't remember who you preferred for city council position #5 when you looked up the candidates last week.

I spend a day or two making my cheat sheet so that I don't have to figure out what all the down-ballot stuff is the day of.

The age old problem of "if you remove rights from criminals, you can just change the definition of crime to encompass the people you don't like"
