Wow this really got me. Top tier shit post my dude.

Already Arkansas has been denied FEMA funds for tornadoes a few weeks back. The south doesn’t have a chance. Florida about to become uninhabitable.

Model 3 was my next car for years. Now it’s the Ioniq 6. I’m just so grateful that we are only now able to plan a car purchase this year, and not in the last 2 or 3 years where we would now be stuck in a Tesla.

An expensive, scattershot-style experiment I guess. It’s certainly… a choice. But you’re right I’m sure.

I’m glad to see Mandalorian getting a film for sure. And in the course of this discussion, I have discovered Skeleton Crew and if it’s a Mando spinoff, I’ll certainly have to watch that now.

Yeah, precisely. That’s what this would be, built into your headphone case. You never have one without the other.

I mean, this wouldn’t be all that stupid imo. Add some Apple watch functionality like fitness detection and easy syncing between phone and iPod Nano Buds, this would be a solid addition to a runner’s arsenal leaving no need to carry your $1000 phone on a run. Suppose you could use your watch for that and leave the case at home though. But more options aren’t a bad thing, not everyone has or wants a watch.

I could swear that Disney had learned a lesson about flooding the market with MCU content - and they’ve cut back substantially to focus on quality over quantity. But given this, I guess it was Marvel Studios that took the lesson, and Lucas Film decided to take the opposite approach. 😶‍🌫️

There’s also the claim that it was sent too early, so regardless of what the error was, these were going to be the demands all along. They were just moving much slower in the discussion prior to the letter being sent. A wise attempt to boil the frog, and then somebody moved the pot over a rocket engine.

Even through 2024, I was interested in buying a Model 3 but with a bit of hesitation about supporting Elon as the “free speech absolutist” predictably crushed free speech on Twitter. But this year, seeing Elon prove himself on stage to be a full blown Nazi was of course the end of that dream.

I think you grossly overestimate how concerned and informed people are about the billionaire CEO of any random corporation. Elon stands out above the rest as a more public figure, but even as aware of him as I already was, I never would have in 2019 called him a Nazi.

Try hard as they might, the irrefutable and impossible to miss proof is here now though - so I withhold judgement for anyone who buys in 2025, personally. A purchase previously was supporting a piece of shit. A purchase now is just straight up supporting a Nazi.

I’m moving soon and was packing up my office closet. Found my old college laptop and figured I better make sure nothing was stored on it before I tossed it. Pulled the removable battery (‼️⁉️) out and plugged in the power adapter. I couldn’t believe that it started Windows XP off of spinning rust faster than any modern device I own. They really don’t make them like they used to.
