That's kind of the deal that RFK Jr got from Trump. RFK dropped and he was rewarded with a cushy cabinet position despite having no qualifications for the position.

I mean, I'm in Wisconsin and knew it was popular and knew it was popular in Texas... Fifth best selling out of 11 trucks that I can think of off the top of my head means it's more popular than most trucks.

It's not irrelevant because I was correcting the incorrect information. Having correct information is important. That's how disinformation spreads.

Tacomas are so popular their even in pop culture. They're also huge in the overlanding community.

What? The Tacoma is an incredibly popular truck. If you go to Texas you'll see all kinds of "Texas Edition" Toyota trucks.

Incorrect information is absolutely disinformation. Why are you so salty about this? Look, you made an insinuation about my comment that was incorrect. It happens, move on.

That would open that company up for a lawsuit if Valve built it into their terms. Scalpers aren't as risk adverse as companies are.

The Chinese government is subsidizing the cost of their EVs. They are smart enough to realize that's the future and want people hooked on them as the supplier. So, yeah it can be done cheaply if you own the entire supply chain and receive government subsidies.

Because it's a fact. I never said Mamdani is eligible for president. I just said that being born in the US isn't the bar for being eligible.

That's not the bar. You have to be a natural US citizen. You can be born outside of the US with US parents and you would be a natural citizen. Ted Cruz was allowed to run despite being born in Canada because his parents were US citizens. It's just one of the many reasons the whole Obama birth certificate thing was stupid. Even if he was born in Kenya he still would have been eligible because is mom is a US citizen.

That's not why she died. She died because she was incompetent. She was a bad pilot and after a crash the man that was the radio expert quit. She didn't know how to work the radios and broadcasted to listen on a channel that her radio couldn't use, she didn't know how to use the trailing antenna that could have saved them so she had it removed, etc...

On Reddit I remember getting called a "space Karen" for pointing this out in a discussion about Starlink. Elon Musk fanboys are some of the worst. Second only to Q fanboys.

I don't think that they think that. I do think that they think you don't deserve a house if you work at McDonalds.

You can get mad at Amazon, but really it's the Supreme Court you should be mad at. Amazon is going to take advantage of whatever it thinks will make them more money. The government is the thing that is supposed to keep them in check.

Edit: A lot of people seem to be reading something different from what I wrote. I didn't say you shouldn't be mad at Amazon, or that Amazon isn't at fault for their own actions. What I did say is that you should expect this type of behavior from a business and should expect our government to do a better job at keeping this behavior in check.

The oath clearly states you'll follow legal orders of the officers above you. I would like to think when I was in the military I would refuse to follow these illegal orders. In reality I have no idea what I would do. It would be a long legal battle and potentially life ruining event to do the right thing.

People have a terrible understanding of orbital mechanics and apparent weightlessness. It's not like gravity just stops affecting you after you get out of the atmosphere. Getting out of the atmosphere is the easy part of getting to orbit. Going sideways fast enough is the hard part.

The president isn't military, he's not even supposed to salute. I know it's become expected, but he is a civilian. Ignoring that, the only disrespectful is the type of hat he is wearing. You're actually supposed to wear your cover outdoors, look at the actual military members in the photo. There are so many legit reasons to hate Trump we don't need to make ones up.

Just in case people are wondering about this, it's true. Clover is a legume. Meaning it gets nitrogen from the air and puts it into the soil. This effectively means the clover is fertilizing the soil. Seeing lots of clover can be a sign that the soil lacks nitrogen and can't grow much else.

The "America Party", started by a Nazi African. What a wild thing.

Let's see how the strategy of ignoring calls from your base a year before a contested election that your opponent polls higher in key states works out for them. It feels like the DNC is trying to lose in 2024 right now.
