If that sounds a lot like a cartel, well, you wouldn't be the first person to point that out

Something, something history rhymes and mind you that those found guilty got slaps on the wrist and then promoted within the industry.

The computer is very cool what the did with a six inch cube but just now 1.4k worth of engineering for me.

I mean these companies have the solution. Collude and price gouge for maximum shareholder and executive value. Just how capitalism was designed to do.

You want to blame someone, blame yourselves since you're the ones who created and colonized the word.

We'll that's a shame to hear that readarr was abandoned.

In places that opened up commercial markets for cannabis, such as the US and Canada, researchers saw more users and increases in drug potency. More people also visited hospital with psychosis and other mental health issues linked to the drug, they found.

Where cannabis was decriminalised in Europe, Africa, Oceania and Asia, there was little evidence of any change in usage or psychiatric illness. The experience was similar in Uruguay, where cannabis has been legalised but is tightly controlled by the state.

So unfettered and unregulated capitalism causes mental health issues but we already knew that but always nice to see another data point.

America.

Judkins said that after the finger test, a lead cybertruck engineer at Tesla said he did the video wrong.

The engineer told him the frunk increases in pressure every single time it closes and detects resistance, Judkins said. It's going to assume you want to close the frunk and maybe something like a bag is getting in the way, which would make it close harder.

Are you kidding me? You did the test wrong on a safety critical feature? No you dumbass engineer, you designed it wrong. Why in the holy fuck would you make a safety critical algorithm keep applying more pressure on subsequent attempts??? That's literally the opposite of what you do for safety.

Yeah, I'm giving up after this.

The Democratic party just can't deal with the stupidity and racism that is the American population.

I mean for fucks sake, Black and Latino voters increased their votes for Trump this time around.

Just time to hang up the hat and let America burn.

Also:

Biden got 81,282,916 votes

Harris got 66,153,556 votes

Americans didn't even bother to show up and now we have a Republicans in control of all three branches again. Yeah, there's no saving this democracy.

Remember that 53% of white women voted for this.

They voted for them and all women to be considered property.

Unfettered 2A is worth the gun deaths according to Charlie Idiot here.

ETA: holy shit, saw a clip and damn, that dude is dead.

Nope but honestly what I expected.

To quote the great George Carlin

Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.

Americans will accept a convicted felon, rapist, and vocal fascist of you simply promise people lower prices on eggs by using tariffs.

I mean if Europe wants to increase their military funding and move items in house I think that would be a wonderful idea. Because America is not a reliable partner in this at all in the past two decades.

Yeah, the Blizzard a lot of us grew up with is truly dead and gone.

This will just be the first of many. There have already been three documented cases in Ohio of minors who were sexually assaulted and were forced to go out of state for an abortion and thankfully since they could afford it.

But then again this is what Republicans support and want, the cruelty is the point because they think this thirteen year old asked for it. At least until it happens to their family and then they will be all about their moral abortion.

Well that's going to make your senior developers quit.

I guess the South is going to have a harder time rising now.

Huh, pretty on brand with Republican Christian values to be celebrating a person's death.

Seems like he voted and supported for Trump, got disappointed by Trump, listened to Trump's and Republicans' call for political violence to solve political problems.

And here we are, leopards are now eating their faces.

Fucking illogical bigotry combined with irresponsible gun culture and this is what your get.
