- Comment on How Republican E.V. Cuts Could Put U.S. Carmakers Behind China | China’s lead in electric vehicle technology, which is already huge, could become insurmountable if incentive programs are slashed 1 week ago:
Our car companies are dead corps walking. Ice vehicles will end up looking like horse and buggies. Sure they’re a cool hobby toy, but they cost so much more, why would you want one?
- Comment on Is it morally wrong for an immigrant or naturalized citizen to "keep a low profile" and avoid speaking up against the government in order to minimize the risks of denaturalization/deportation? 1 week ago:
It’s morally wrong to make them feel the need to hide. What someone decides to do with their free speech is up to them.
- Comment on 7 year old PC. CPU is getting WICKED hot (up to 100 C) while playing games. is there any software that can underclock/undervolt it? 1 week ago:
If you can’t reach the plugs, most likely the air around them is recycling through that space getting hotter. Put a box fan over there and see if your temps improve.
- Comment on 7 year old PC. CPU is getting WICKED hot (up to 100 C) while playing games. is there any software that can underclock/undervolt it? 1 week ago:
Where your computer is located is too awkward to open, and it’s overheating… you do know that’s likely related?
- Comment on If we humans have a whole range of microbial life living on our skin, do other animals have their own similar micro fauna covering them? 2 weeks ago:
There’s supposedly a fungus that only grows on the left antenna of one species of moth. So yes there are a lot of unique biomes.
- Comment on If you were (falsely) accused of murder, but you have records of your phone at home with youtube videos being played, can you submit those records as a sort of Alibi to exonerate you? 2 weeks ago:
Again Dennis? Who was it this time?
- Comment on ✅🔥 4 weeks ago:
Ok, now I want one. Pi powered CV to identify fire, and maybe figure out a way to identify what type of fire.
- Comment on Sony will be releasing "Krull" on 4K Ultra HD on September 16. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I loved the movie, but I have a feeling 80’s special effects aren’t going to stand up very well in 4k.
- Comment on UK to build 12 nuclear submarines in preparation for potential war with Russia 5 weeks ago:
I sincerely hope you are correct, but they’re on a full war time economy and building flat out. The real question is if Ukraine can disrupt manufacturing supply lines enough to make a difference. Hitting the bombers helps now, they need to hit the factories making engines for the bombers of tomorrow.
- Comment on UK to build 12 nuclear submarines in preparation for potential war with Russia 5 weeks ago:
I’m not saying he’ll win by any means. That’s what he thinks he’s building up for though. Putin seems of the opinion if he can slowly bleed Ukraine then if/when he pushes into NATO, they’ll be tapped out, and he can win with meat grinder tactics, as long as the US doesn’t show up. Which is possible with Trump knee capping our military, and bringing in a lot of meat shields from North Korea, and maybe a bunch of Chinese that Xi doesn’t like.
What I don’t think he gets, is that Poland alone could very likely erase Russia, right now. And they would very much not be alone. And they’re backed stopped with French and UK nukes. So there’s a hard limit to how far he’s going to get. Although I think the world will be a much worse place if France has to use their nuclear warning shot doctrine.
- Comment on UK to build 12 nuclear submarines in preparation for potential war with Russia 5 weeks ago:
it usually takes 10 years to build a nuclear submarine. 5 to 7 years just for construction. Putin is building to attack in less than 4.
Someone needs a time machine.
- Comment on Will using an additional trolling motor significantly speed me up? 5 weeks ago:
Better bet would be just a bigger motor, or gas power if you can plane. Two motors need a rudder or coordinated pivots that get finicky to mess with.
- Comment on How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea? 2 months ago:
Tariffs always raise prices. Sometimes they do protect local industry, by raising prices so that local industries can compete against foreign competitors. At least for a time. Usually it leads to the eventual failure of the industry due to making less competitive products.
- Comment on FBI issues warning over scammers impersonating agents to steal your money 2 months ago:
True, but the FBI does hate competition.
- Comment on Tariff 2 months ago:
Better than handing all of the developing world to China on a golden platter, while crippling our entire economy.
- Comment on Tariff 2 months ago:
Y’all remember TPP. Guess what that was about? Who tanked that again?
That’s right, just shut the fuck up.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 2 months ago:
Right wingers have, or cause, trouble in open forums, so most social media that isn’t operated as a walled garden, tends to be more left leaning.
- Comment on Best doctor advice to stop falling in the shower 3 months ago:
Like anyone can afford to talk to a doctor any more.
- Comment on Win win 3 months ago:
National parks have squat for cell coverage.
- Comment on Schumer, Facing Backlash for Not Forcing a Shutdown, Says He’ll Take ‘the Bullets’ 3 months ago:
He doesn’t need to take bullets, he just need to take the exit, and get out.
- Comment on He's totally not a Nazi tho 3 months ago:
Yeah, he’s one of the soft targets that should be hiding in a bunker if Trump decides to invade Canada. Not because it would save him, but it saves time on burial if he’s already underground.
- Comment on Can trump make it so I can sell my citizenship for 5 million dollars? 4 months ago:
Exchange it quick and get out.
- Comment on Elon Musk Calls Social Security 'The Biggest Ponzi Scheme Of All Time' 4 months ago:
Supporting your country isn’t a ponzi scheme.
- Comment on The Highest-Paid Actors Of 2024 (Including all earnings, film salaries, & other forms of income) - The Rock Tops the List with $88M 4 months ago:
Half income on that list is just actors knowing to invest their money rather than blow it all.
- Comment on Elon Musk shocks the country as he reveals the 'biggest Ponzi scheme of all time' he's unmasked through DOGE 4 months ago:
He’s calling supporting your country a ponzi scheme. He has no patriotism, and has no respect for America. He should have his citizenship revoked.
- Comment on Why don't states in the US come up with their own health insurance program? So people can pay into it prolly less then what they pay now and the state put the money in a bank and use the interest for 4 months ago:
Part of the problem is Medicare is already taxing for healthcare. A state creating their own system would have to tax on top of that, and duplicate the administration of it.
It’s kind of like states trying to stop using daylight savings on their own. Technically they can, but only after getting all of congress and the president to agree.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 4 months ago:
He wasn’t against gay rights, would probably be the best description. He specifically avoided the topic while campaigning in order to avoid his earlier controversy entrapping men from the Navy by sending men out to have sex with them. Not because he hated gays, he was just given a job, and wasn’t against over doing it. Eleanor took a lesbian lover later on, and he hired a known gay man to serve in his cabinet. For the time, that’s about as progressive as it gets. In modern times, Gore was to the left of Obama and Biden socially.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 4 months ago:
Bernie was more liberal, FDR ran and won 3 times on a more liberal platform.
- Comment on Kevin sounds nice! 4 months ago:
The choice was, be a friend, or be pig food. Kevin chose wisely.
- Comment on Looks legit, but can it actually be a real thing? 4 months ago:
Shorts covered with quartz sequins would scatter the image enough to blind the scanner. Make sure they’re mounted with glue instead of metal mounts, or they’ll fail the metal detector.
