Proud Boy Jan. 6 defendant who shot at law enforcement is sentenced to prison

I really enjoyed this little tidbit "Pelham paced outside, holding a gun and yelling at police. He eventually went back inside and fired the gun several times. For their own safety, police left the property that night, and let Pelham sleep off his drinking." He shoots at police and they "let him sleep it off", any POC would be dead as a doornail if they so much as thought of the word gun in the presence of cops. But a white male insurrectionist can just sleep it off. This country is truly fucked.

Leaked Email Shows Elon Musk Demanding "Sub 10 Micron Accuracy​” Cybertruck Parts

Sub 10 micron. Jfc, this idiot doesn't have a clue about auto manufacturing. Even the most precise parts of auto manufacture don't require "sub 10 micron" tolerances. Engine bearing journals are about the most crucial fit in a car and they are generally on the order of 50 microns. Electric cars can use even wider margins because they mostly use ball and roller bearings instead of babbit bearings.

But... Since were talking about the body panels on the worlds dumbest truck the point is even more moot. John Delorian was stamping out stainless panels in the 80s on a shoe string budget,
but the worlds richest dipshit wants to make it out to be the automotive equivilant to brain surgery.

Sadly they are not, the people that do it are the worst kind of asshole. They generally like to "roll coal" while passing electric or hybrid cars, covering them with soot. The spend thousands of dollars to be as obnoxious and wasteful as possible, all to spite "the liberals".

Ohio, Michigan Republicans In Released Audio: "Endgame" Is To Ban Trans Care "For Everyone"

It just goes to show that "saving the children" has always been a stepping stone to a total ban. Just as attacking attacking the trans community is a stepping stone to attacking the entire lgbt community. These bastards will never stop till there are only straight white Christians left, and then I'm sure they'll start going after anyone "not christian, or not white" enough. Fascism never stops its march to trample the other, because without someone to persecute they have nothing. These attacks on lgbt people and other minorities will never end until we stamp out fascism like we did in 1945.

US expands probe into Ford engine failures to include two motors and nearly 709,000 vehicles

About time Ford is held accountable for their dogshit engines, although investigations should have started in the early 2000s. The Ford triton v8s of the late 90s and 00s were prone to blowing sparkplugs out of their cylinder heads (taking all the threads with them) so often that parts stores advertised the repair kits prominently. Ford never recalled a single engine for the problem and faced no repercussions.

NASA’s Bennu Asteroid Sample Contains Carbon, Water

Reply in thread

NASAs budget in 2021 was $25b, but their economic output was $71.2b. NASA actually puts more into the economy than it takes to run. Between providing nearly 340,000 jobs and leasing patents on materials and technology developed in house, NASA more than pays their own way. Not to mention all the advancements in material science, medical technology, and engineering that they provide. NASA is well worth the investment we put into it, and IMO deserves much more.

Why Are Conservatives So Obsessed With Trans Kids?

Reply in thread

Cisgender kids have been put on puberty blockers to treat disorders like precocious puberty for decades. We know the long term effects of the these drugs and they are minimal. Surgery is only an option for 16 year olds at the youngest and that's only with the consent of both parents. All this outrage about "saving the children" is BS that is only manufactured to draw the uninformed over to the bigots cause. Every major medical association in the US and Europe has proven time and again that gender affirming care saves lives. Whether you're just ignorant or a willfully hateful bigot I don't know, but taking time to learn the actual facts of the matter would probably be a good idea.
