While a Trump presidency couldn’t slam the brakes on the E.V. transition, it could throw enough sand in the gears to slow it down. And that might have significant consequences for the fight to stop global warming.
In this particular story, if there’s any truth to it then it’s basically extortion. They could have just said that due to their usage profile they will need to switch to an enterprise license for the next billing period . Instead they tried to extort it within 24h lol.
And of course you have to buy a whole year of service (lol). This last thing is a symptom of a degenerate market with few competitors. No company that fears competition would try to pull that stunt.
More likely though Bibi will shit all over Biden despite his unwavering support, which I would think would snap Biden out of this lunacy but I can’t imagine him changing his stance at this point
This is far more likely. Biden like many Democrats has been blindly pro-Isreal for literally 4-5 decades. He’s a sure thing and he will be treated as such. There’s no advantage to praising Biden and no disadvantage to shitting on him. Seems Israel has more of a right to American tax dollars than Americans do .
There’s also some tactical value in pretending youre going to testify - the prosecution team will spend a lot of time and effort preparing for it and how to best conduct the cross examination. In this case I doubt it made much difference on that front though.
This is a great description. The conceptual design of the 10C aliens and the problem solving required to communicate with them was very cool and interesting. But for every one of those you have to tolerate a time bug or the fucking burn being caused by one dude getting really sad.
The finale of S1 of SNW is top-tier star trek IMO. They managed to show that even though Pike did everything “right” from his own frame of reference (on the basis that violence can escalate to war and war is to be avoided at all costs so violence must be extremely measured) . The Romulans are operating from a completely different frame, where not pressing an advantage is fatal weakness.
Pike was just not the right man for the job despite his intentions.
Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn’t rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn’t unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.
Grinding a notch into a flathead screwdriver is annoying but it’ll still work fine as a flathead even afterwards. I would probably just grind the bulge out of the screw though.
Yes and also I have a hard time believing the builders if the great pyramid didn’t understand it in some capacity either. They just didn’t have symbolic algebra to express it the way we do .
Don’t be fooled, they’re textbook playing the victim, if anything they’re just pissed they didn’t have the idea first to do what Uber/Lyft are doing
They still haven’t really done it. Taxi apps that exist are mostly shit. They didn’t want to have the idea first, they just wanted their status quo to persist indefinitely just like any other degenerate sector with an artificial supply constraint.
In 2010 or so I went to Cornell for the graduation ceremony of a family member of mine from their business school. The keynote speaker was Rudy Giuliani. His speech about living life with integrity really aged well lol.
Tim’s might as well be a real estate company at this point. All their products are shit but they own prime locations in prime spots in basically all major and minor cities in Canada so they always win on convenience.
Sounds like a dealbreaker (lemmy.world)
