  1. Trump might bail some farmers out again like he did last time so he’ll probably be okay. Meanwhile soybean harvest in Brazil is at record highs. China has other options.
  2. Denial is the first step. I’ve already accepted that we’re pretty much fucked. We’re basically Hungary now, and if Trump continues to have his way we will become Russia.
  3. Actually they can, because the used Tesla market is great. You can find low mileage Teslas for $20-30k in the SF Bay Area right now. I’d imagine they’re even cheaper elsewhere. Not that that will help musk. And they’re basically disposable cars at this point. Once the batteries go they’re not worth much.
  4. 0 and 0. I used to skydive and could again if I were so inclined, although I’d probably eliminate the fossil fuel thing and just move on to paragliding because it’s literally right out my back door. I usually spend my free time in the woods these days, trying to see whatever I can before it all burns up. I wouldn’t have gotten involved in SC but I was bored during Covid shutdown. I decided to bail when I’d had enough of the pelosi hammer thread. I think arguing is one of the silliest things we use the internet for and I’m as guilty as anyone. That said, I still lurk here for the links that some of you provide. There’s some good information there. Sure, I’d probably pay for membership to maintain that.
  5. Agree and I offered nothing but the same whenever I participated. I have no desire to do it again but I have 2 nephews that each just got their A license so I have to ask, if the site goes away, is there any way to archive the incident and S+T forums so they are still available to view? Institutional knowledge is a terrible thing to waste. I want it to remain available to them as it was to me, and I would contribute to that.
  6. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/body-camera-footage-paul-pelosi-attack-released-rcna67661 I guess now enough time really has passed.
  7. I have to appreciate the mini-14 at the bottom. Back east where I grew up they used them to get rid of ground hogs in the cattle pastures. Perfect tool for that job.
  8. I’m curious which model Abrams we are sending. I thought the depleted uranium mesh armor was classified tech.
  9. Forgive me. I’ve never been on Facebook so I don’t know what it’s like. I didn’t bring up shower guns first, but since they came up, and if indeed the photo was taken in a bathroom, or a kitchen for that matter, you should appreciate the irony of a missing, common household safety device, usually required by building code, next to another device possibly also intended to protect the home.
  10. I figured that was the vanity top, not the shower itself. Still, not a GFI outlet.
  11. From where the photo was taken that’s obviously the shower gun.
  12. https://abc7news.com/half-moon-bay-shooting-multiple-shot-san-mateo-county-sheriff-highway-92/12728943/ I’m sure it’ll end up on the networks but it’s all over local news in the Bay Area at the moment. No mention of weapon type yet.
  13. Assuming it was illegally purchased, should they be legal then? Or should the law be better enforced?
  14. This is kind of stupid. No one is going to use biodiesel in the Abrams tank, at least certainly not in Ukraine during wintertime. As subsequent comments demonstrate, if anyone other than hutch had replied to Dr. Kallend with that word it would have been met with complete agreement. He has some of you conditioned like Pavlov’s dogs.
