Kill my dog!? Dare I live out the Kristi Noem dream??

And then calling it the “war of northern aggression”

Me in my dreams hnnnnnnnng

“We’re trying for a baby!”

Oh, cool, he’s raw-dogging you all the time and you’re stewing in it ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Candy crush is already a thing

Car dealers really are the worst.

Charlotte traffic (I live in the metro area) has gotten pretty bad. It was amazing when I moved here from NoVA, but the growth here has been insane.

I’ve never actually had one - always been told it is more effort than it’s worth.

Beef Wellington isn’t even English, it started as a French dish and was refined and popularized in the US. And yes it’s way too much work to cook.

People feel so threatened by EVs, it’s hilarious. “I just like engine noise and the smell of gas”… good for you buddy, maybe stop huffing the fumes so much.

NoVA

Pretty rough traffic

Story checks out

As somebody who moved from NoVA to upper SC, I totally understand. We have an Ioniq 5 (and soon a Rivian R2) and yeah charging stops are quick and nice. EVs are absolutely the future and I love being on the front of it. We had 2 teslas before but … yeah not anymore.

Please no

I have a Garmin Vivoactive 6, and I use it for the following:

• sleep quality tracking. It judges me in the morning.
• steps and calories burned so that I can justify eating or drinking something shitty.
• whether or not to pull out my phone and respond to a text message
• how far from the green I am

That’s… about it. Would love other ideas.

It’s already working

And with that, a mighty cheer went up from the heroes of Shelbyville. They had banished the awful lemon tree forever, because it was haunted. Now let’s all celebrate with a cool glass of turnip juice.

“Chicken fingers basket” is present tense.

His shitty ai company (xAI) bought Twitter in a huge bullshit valuation, then SpaceX bought xAI in a huge bullshit valuation. Both companies have only ever lost gobs of money under his control. And now that SpaceX has filed to IPO, we’ve seen that not even SpaceX was ever profitable, even before being saddled with two loser, completely-unrelated companies.

Mark my words, this Frankenstein SpaceX will IPO and be propped up by instant inclusion in the S&P 500, then get bought by Tesla (his only profitable company, for now) and that will be called the “biggest merger in history”. This will trigger Musk’s trillion-dollar pay package, which dilutes Tesla stock and gives him majority control, leaving investors holding stock that is now worth much less. So, he’ll end up with this big mess of a company called Tesla and have fleeced every person with a 401(k), IRA, or pension to the tune of a trillion dollars. This will all happen within a year, sooner if possible to avoid scrutiny from a possibly Blue congress.

It’s worth less than half of zero. They don’t make money. They can’t make money, since they decided to gobble up Musk’s other money-losing companies. Why the hell is it still called Space X when their primary concern is LLMs and rage bait?

All that beef tallow and raw milk really cleans out the ol’ pipes

That it is.

GM was for a while, but good point. The US won’t own the AI companies, but the people will have the privilege of giving them gobs of money and having nothing to show for it, other than another billionaire getting away with unlimited fraud. I remember ‘08 very well, thanks for the reminder.
