Thanks for the links to the sources. It was interesting to read the backstory on how it came to be.

Will be interesting to see the an update to this map in about 2-3 years for comparison.

They might manage to knock gas prices down a few tens of cents in the short term as they “drill baby, drill”, but agreed everything else is going to go up, and of course, we get extra screwed in the long term.

Sadly, a few protests now is nothing in comparison if Harris would have won. The Republican party already had preemptive lawsuits to challenge the election results before election day and the results would have been contended for months. There was a high likelihood of a repeat of Jan. 6th 2021 on Jan. 6th 2025 from right wing milita groups.

They’ve been staples around the PDX airport for the last year or so. There is also Caesar the “no drama llama” who has been around the general Portland area for a number of years.

Always fun to run across.

Forget about Jan. 6th 2021 already? I don’t recall any legal authority there and yet it still happened.

Also, we’ve had bounty programs in the past for populations of people.

Yeah, Ziply has been great in my area. I give them money, they give me decent, reliable service with few strings attached. Really hope this doesn’t change.

I like the sentiment, but that is predicated on there being another election under the same rule set which would allow either party to win. If things come to pass with the unitary executive theory outlined in Project 2025 and the dictatorship desires that have already been declared, makes it unlikely votes will work to change political parties going forward…

Sure did.

Please do, would be fun to follow along and discuss as events unfold.

Yeah, the EV market is fine, just Tesla sales which have dropped some, lowering numbers for the total EV market. Sales continue to be strong for other EV manufacturers, just one brand slowing down for some strange reason… Almost like someone has started to alienate their core customer base…

I’ve found the video format entertaining. I typically play the episodes on YouTube, so having visuals to go with the episodes is a welcome addition. Also fun to see expressions from Robert, Sofie, and guest.

Less than the same area of lawn.

Knowing Elon’s past history with wording, he is probably actually donating $45,999,999.99 or $45,000,000.01 just to say the media reports are not true. He never denied donating money, just disputed that exact figure.

My prediction is that as pressures mount on all industries, especially food supplies, we’ll start to see large civil unrest leading ultimately to wars which will wipe most of us out first, then famine takes the rest. Agree on a few well off holdouts for a while.

Yeah, Tesla is certainly not the first ones to have this design or issues with it:

Texas man, dog die after being trapped in Corvette

This has strong Simon Stålenhag \ “Tales from the Loop” vibes.

Any chance you are using a Thunderbolt device such as a network adapter or external drives? I had the issue on a NUC 10 where it would randomly drop the TB devices every few weeks and occasionally appear to be frozen. The latest firmware update finally took care of it.

Question is, how do you keep that from being abused?

Would you invision that to be similar to something like PBS but fully funded from government sources?
