Tesla is finding newer and ever-dumber ways

The power door issue has been around since they first entered the mass market. It's one of the reasons I never considered buying one.

Don't cut yourself on that edge.

It's not that we think we have zero responsibility or whatever - it's that, as you described, we put in a lot of effort to find coping mechanisms and management strategies, and then people like this cut-rate psych point to the results of that effort and say 'See, it's gone!' It's not gone, you dingbat, we have to manage it and it takes a lot of work, and maybe it would be nice - just once - to get some recognition for all that work we're doing rather than pretending the problem doesn't exist any more.

Gat damn.

Yes.

The government will fail you, but Trump will ensure the government fails you even harder and faster, that it fails more people, and that it will bring as much of the world down with it as possible.

Have you fought a goose before? Clearly not considering how you're mouthing off.

People know to steer clear of Canadian geese for good reason. They're known to break people's bones with their wings when they decide you need to be punished. The weight/strength ratio is vastly different for birds than it is for mammals. Birds have to fly, so they're built ridiculously light for how strong they are - and they have to be strong to be able to fly.

A swan is much bigger and - critically - much meaner than a goose.

The problem is that, of course, the drugs don't actually give you 1000 years to improve - it just temporarily ruins your ability to gauge time rather than actually extending it.

Once you put a cork in the neck of the bottle, it is no longer a disc and can contain other objects.

Oh hey, yet another article perpetuating the narrative that Luigi is guilty. Must be a day of the week that ends in 'y'.

This is why stoy said the First Past the Post system needs to be dropped.

I'm honestly not sure that Trump's death would have been the best thing for the world.

Hear me out.

If Trump were assassinated, he would have become a martyr - and it would have been easy to paint the Left as the culprits, thus obliterating any chance of winning the upcoming election, and more. But it wouldn't have been Trump who won the presidency - it would have been someone more capable and more subtle.

Trump is laying such waste to the government that he's quickly turning people against him - and his vanity and incompetence are undermining his own party's efforts to secure their power. As long as we survive the current attacks on democracy - which is, admittedly, a big if - then he may have utterly destroyed the power base for the GOP for a long time to come. A destruction that wouldn't have happened if someone with their sanity intact had landed the office.

We're going to suffer in the meantime, but at least we have a chance to turn it around - a chance that may not have happened if Trump had eaten that bullet.

I'm pretty sure your ass would care, depending on the kind of bread. A firm crusty bread would probably do some damage. Kinda like how too much fentanyl does damage. Physically.

The thing missing from most of these bullet points is that extracting energy from rotation reduces the speed of the rotating object.

Even black holes are affected by the gravity of objects near them, same as anything else - which means that the black hole will slow down if you slingshot an object around it.

That's why it's called energy extraction rather than energy creation.

So sure, you could make a black hole bomb... but making the black hole in the first place would take as much - if not more - energy than you'll get out of it. And usually you're going to do enough damage just throwing a black hole through your target.
