And that was late 90's/00 dollars.

Conceptually, the nihilists are right! Nothing does matter.

That line ain't thin

Oh snap, so this guy is on the faaaaaaaar side of the bell curve wearing the hood and agreeing with me. Well played.

It's true, one does not simply log into Mordor.

Dealers: We inflated the ever living shit out of the ALREADY inflated MSRP on all our EV's during a global recession and now no one wants to buy any of them!!

Manufacturer: The customers have spoken, EV's are dead.

If you've ever interviewed at Google, you know why this is happening. They hire people who are as much like the people they already employ as possible, to the point that employees don't know who they're interviewing or even for what. The person getting hired is pre-screened for all sorts of "desirable traits" before being matched with a team. The people who succeeded there all think the same, and so they all end up having the same ideas, and the number of novel ideas nose dives.

IBM has an internal motto that they really push when you get hired there: "Treasure wild ducks". Beyond the regular buzz word bingo of 'think different ' and 'move fast break things' it means "when someone else has a crazy idea that might just work, fucking listen to them", and it's what's kept them in business for literally a century. I don't think Google has that fundamental non-self-centered DNA. Every product they've ever put out was a result of their intellectual monoculture and the hyper competitive mire of sameness it breeds.

Berkeley wants to turn the park into housing and I guess they hope the wall will keep protesters out.

Heh, I love the implied acknowledgement that Republicans are a separate and distinct group from adults.

THIS is how you protest vote. Bravo Michigan Democrats. I hope they still vote for him in the general, but I'm still glad they're making the DNC sweat.

All subsequent waste products will then be released into local waterways via "unfortunate accident" on a regular schedule, to maximize shareholder profits.

That's a load bearing "done right".

my employer fired a double digit percentage of their workforce and then instituted draconian RTO policies to, in the words of an actual HR leader, "get rid of a few more without paying severance".

Within 3 weeks almost half as many people as they had fired had quit. Pretty much every single team lost their most critical employees. They started back pedaling that policy at week four, but they don't realize the only good people left are just being picky about which offer they take from where.

I hope they make him pass what they want first. No one should ever trust a Republican to keep their word.

If being an asshole was illegal Texas would be a prison.

I'm assuming there's a light under that top dome cap, and that the box is there to regulate the chamber environment, making this more of a vivarium than a terrarium.

Given that she's using it as an oxygen source, the term vivarium, meaning "place of life", doubly applies.

Her evil name then, should be Vivaria

the highest salary I've ever seen on a tech job posting was 900K, offered by Netflix for a networking god.

Even that guy would be broke by lunch on day 11.

A person so singularly gifted that one of the highest paying companies on the planet had to offer that just to find them, and this fucking bag of sewer gas has that in his coat he hasn't worn since the 80's. Really makes it easy to justify hating these absolute parasites that contribute nothing and own everything.

I wonder how much they get paid for training the model, or if it's free in exchange for the captcha service.

Yep, they call them land bridges. More of a hill than a mountain, but the meme is right!

DeLorean is 304 Stainless. Cyber truck is 30? stainless. As in Tesla doesn't want to say, which is why they write it "30X".

given how hard the steel is purported to be, it's likely a variant of 304N, instead of 304 or 304L. (basic stainless like in commercial kitchen equipment and 18/10 stainless, like in high end cooking pans). 304N is harder to work with cold due to it's hardness and gets harder when worked, both properties Tesla has reported as belonging to the cybertruck's steel. 304N is considered a marine grade stainless steel.

There have been a lot of developments in stainless steel production in the 40ish years since the DeLorean came out, so I highly doubt it's the same steel.

Assuming the crew was Leela, Fry, and Bender:

Leela was definitely a whole ass, meaning bender and fry combined to equal negative half an ass, leaving the final at half assed.

So if Bender is 1/3 of an ass, that would make fry -5/6'ths of an ass.

He's called for his dad to resign from the Senate, so there's that at least.

Doesn't make anything he's saying less right.

My thoughts exactly. If I win the lottery from a ticket I bought with a found $5, that's a fun story.

If I won the lottery from a street wizard ticket? Legendary.

Your neighbor is the joke. (real answer: the sticker implies a cop would find being called gay very offensive, to the point of not pulling this person over. In reality the cop would likely just shoot you and say you were evading arrest or something while pissing on your corpse.)

Let's just say they were probably willing to deal with the consequences, and that either way they were going to get out of the war.

Use their federal funding to forcibly remove them and place them in prison. Governance of national borders is not and should not be contingent on the presumed compliance of some malicious shitheads.

That's a win win for the SC.

He wins the election, they can say "Whelp, makes no sense to rule on this until he's out of office again" and hope he dies before dick tatering his way into a third term.

He loses the election, they can decide to rule either way depending on how much grease he's got left in his pockets with no worries about repercussions while they also hope he dies.

they can keep my 42 cents and just stop their shit
