What are you going to do to prevent the sun from swallowing the earth in 5 billion years?
I'll answer with another question.
War, what is it good for?

US accuses Canada of election interference ahead of midterms
If everyone around you is an asshole, you're actually the asshole.
If everyone around you is "influencing elections", maybe you are the one doing the influencing.

German youth plan France-style mass protests
That sign hits hard.
Rough translation: "I want to live, not survive"
Maybe an English tweak to keep the similarity of words "I want to live, not be lavish"

I already tell all my iot devices not to trust anything outside the internal network, (well really I tell the router to not let anything outside the vlan except for specific devices on specific ports.)
So it's not everything that's fucked for me, just everything outside.

Ban cars from populated areas

New cars need regular maintenance too.
The upside is you "know the history" and can reasonably assume that if you do the maintenance the car will last a reasonable time. And if not the warranty and laws (lemon law) gives you some way out.
Buying used you do not have the knowledge of maintenance, nor the lemon law protections, nor the warranty protections (third party warranties are pretty much scam). So you're relying on the gamble that the car you are buying will last, or you can make it last.
People with knowledge of vehicles and ability to repair have a leg up in that gamble, but it's still a gamble.

What are some idioms that no longer make sense? Can you think of a modern replacement?
I always thought of that idiom as the pot (something generally cast iron and not polished) calling the kettle (something that is polished and therefore reflective) black.
Being that the pot sees itself in the reflection, but calls the kettle that as a derogatory thing, unknowing of it's personal alignment.

Same with distillation, you get the heavies that you don't really want in your drink so you end the process. Ie the bitter end.

Does this work for you?
Yup I collect mugs and take them to the kitchen, it takes multiple trips. While in the kitchen on the second trip I see a piece of mail that needs to go to the desk, I take it to the desk. While at the desk I see the jacket that needs to go to the coat hook, I take it to the coat hook. While there I realize I'm thirsty and go get a mug of tea. I take that to the desk and forget that I'm cleaning up mugs and the day is over.
Go to bed and realize I've practically made no dent in what needs done. But I worked all day.

Exclusive: Harris leads Trump 44% to 42% in US presidential race, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
The only certain thing is nobody knows who will be elected until after the polls close and counting is certified.
VOTE. Everyone vote as if yours is the only one that matters, because it may be.

Donut Shop Worker Refuses to Be on Camera with JD Vance During Campaign Stop

Plan? The only plan they got is project 2025. I don't think it spells out how to order donuts without acting weird.

Donut Shop Worker Refuses to Be on Camera with JD Vance During Campaign Stop
This clip proved to me that couchfucker Vance is definitely not "from the middle class"
Hes obviously never ordered donuts himself. No clue what they are, expects to walk in and get handed a box of glazed donuts and a box of mixed donuts, while people are amazed and happy to have "someone like him" in the store.
