Sheeiit I absolutely loved the first one, even only having played it for the first time last year. I was blown away at how well it holds up. I do recommend trying it if you have even a morsel of interest. Just my personal 2 cents tho.

That's not background, that's a free channel that showcases a polar bear in a snowstorm.

Dog.... just stop with the copium. It's embarrassing. Trump will never answer for his crimes, period. This should be abundantly clear after 8 years of flopped motions against him.

No Mueller report, no special council, no hush money case.... is ever going to stop this guy.

Give up on the idea of justice against this dude and start preparing for his dictatorship.

Great question.

That is definitely one of the big caveats of BEVs over diesels. A battery on an EV can only take in so much energy. Once you hit that ceiling, the battery won't take in any more current. Fun fact, having a super charged battery in a BEV causes all sorts of headache and can cost you performance.

You either have to switch back to service brakes or, as you mentioned, burn off energy as heat. Not sure how they're doing it with this truck, but on other BEV loaders which I've worked on, we add a hydraulic valve whose only purpose is to create flow, pressure, and subsequently heat. It basically just adds a dummy load. I suspect they tapped into the dump hydraulics and added such a valve for this truck.

GMLRS, F16s, Abrams, ATACMS, Bayraktar....

Yet another wunderwaffe that will decisively turn the tide I'm sure...

Couldn't have solved this issue with a big batch of stickers?

Like Dearborn? Where Arab Americans had been sounding alarm bells for months about how democrats were losing them? How they were upset about their brothers and sisters being blown the fuck up in Palestine and Lebanon? How leftists were vehemently warning for months that Kamala's callous take on the middle east "Im speaking now 🤫", could cost her the election?

Your comment is just thinly-veiled racism. Next time, just say you blame american fascism on american Muslims.

And now that you are reaping, you're lashing out. In textbook liberal fashion, you're scapegoating minorities as fascism starts to come knocking.

If you can honestly look at the complete ineptitude of the democrat establishment and Kamala's race, and still blame minorities, then I feel like I know which side you're going to take when shit really starts getting volatile here.

You seem like the type who'd start dropping N bombs if you saw a person of color driving a car you deemed too loud.

Or maybe getting ableist as fuck if you saw a wheelchair-bound person rolling coal.

Sure, these are shitty things to do, but body shaming is the weapon of the enemy.

Seeing deplorable behavior doesn't give you a free pass to body shame, be racist, ableist, or misogynistic.

Good meme, but we really ought to end small-penis hatred.

Liberals will see no problem choosing polite, handwringing genocide over rowdy, bombastic genocide. They fall so easily for style points and optics completely devoid of substance.

20 years from now, when the only choices are between a dem who wants 20 genocide and a republican who wants 21, liberals will still be frothing at the mouths, blaming anti-genocide leftists for the country's devoluton into fascism. This is the logical conclusion of liberal "pragmatic utilitarianism"

In biology, one learns about a certain species of caterpillar that can only cross the threshold of metamorphosis by seeing its future butterfly. Proletarian subjectivity does not evolve by incremental steps but requires nonlinear leaps, especially by way of moral self-recognition through solidarity with the struggle of a distant people. Even when this contradicts short-term self-interest, as in the famous cases of Lancashire cotton workers’ enthusiasm for Lincoln and later for Gandhi, such efforts not only anticipate a world beyond capitalism, they concretely advance the working class’s march toward it.

Socialism, in other words, requires nonutilitarian actors, whose ultimate motivations and values arise from structures of feeling that others would deem spiritual. Marx rightly scourged romantic humanism in the abstract, but his personal pantheon — Prometheus and Spartacus, Homer, Cervantes, and Shakespeare — affirmed a heroic vision of human possibility. But can that possibility be realized in today’s world, a world where the “old working class” has been demoted in agency?

I always thought Venice looked like a handshake.
