As Trump warms to Putin, U.S. halts offensive cyber operations against Moscow
Is your ammo stocked up because I wouldn't doubt a future where Drump declares martial law and asks Russia military for help deal with us “unruly Americans.” Shits getting dark.

The Trump Meet the Press interview that spun out of control after he was probed about his ‘rigged elections’ conspiracies
I thought it was telling how he kept referring to it as “your country…” instead “this” or “our country”.

"Starfield's lead quest designer had 'absolutely no time' and had to hit the 'panic button' so the game would have a satisfying final quest"
I thought the ending was interesting until I played through it. It just reinforced how pointless the whole story was. Maybe it had good intentions, I can see that on paper, but it made me question why I wasted my time if none of my decisions mattered anyways. We play games to be entertained and escape reality, not to reinforce what we already know. Most of what we do doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.

EVs less reliable than conventional cars: Consumer Reports [Lauren Sforze | 11/29/23 | The Hill]

This is good to hear. It gives me hope that EVs can have a long life expectancy and might actually replace 20 yr old ICE cars.

What item do you own that has an unexpectedly high value?
Bought 2 acres of wooded land in North Carolina for $60k, 2 years ago and built a house on one of the 1 acre lots. Now an empty 1 acres lot is going for $100k next door. I guess land really is a great investment if you find a deal.

And the Tesla doesn’t, that’s the problem. A human would slow down if they can’t see, the Tesla just barrels through blindly.

EVs have 79% more reliability problems than gas cars, says Consumer Reports
Having just bought a ten year old plugin hybrid, I feel like I have two engines to worry about now. They’ll let you buy an extended warranty for the ICE but it’s a big fat no for the HV battery. If the battery totally dies, which it will, it’s $6k+ to replace it. I feel like an EV has an 8-10 year lifespan because after that, you better have the cash on hand to replace the battery. I’d prefer a super efficient ICE car that can run for 500k+ miles with proper maintenance. Then again, I’m a cheap old bastard who misses those reliable beater Hondas and Toyotas.

63% of Gen Z Would Rather Play Video Games Than Watch a Movie
As a longtime movie lover, I find myself drawn towards games over movies now. I never thought it would happen to me but games can tell such great stories now that I have a hard time choosing a movie over a few hours of gaming. Weird for me to even admit that to myself since I wanted to make movies in my younger years.

Ben Kissel is no longer a part of Last Podcast on the Left
Wow, I’m really going to miss him. I got this vibe, before all this started, that he was becoming very depressed. Especially when the other guys would talk about their marriages, etc. It’s almost like a radar for people who’ve struggled with these kinds of mental illnesses in their own lives. After the smoke clears, I hope he doesn’t do any harm to himself and starts a new chapter in his life. Hail yourself!

Rental giant Hertz dumps EVs, including Teslas, for gas cars
I know when I had to rent a car for my family last year in CA to drive up to Oregon, I didn’t want an EV. Even though they were cheaper, I didn’t want to risk us getting stranded in an unfamiliar area that I’ve never been to. We ended up stuck in a “we’ve never seen that before” traffic jam outside of SF. We were trapped for 8 hrs with no exists and I’m not sure an EV would have made it to our destination. Once we got out of it, the first task was finding a gas station. It was not a good area and I can’t imagine finding/sitting at a random charging station, in the middle of the night there. I imagine I’m not the only one who’s had this fear.
