The police know it is a machine gun, the police know that many bullets can be fired in a very short period of time. They know the bullets kill. Ban guns. If you want to hunt, use a bow, or don’t hunt.
The number of buyers in the U.S. considering an electric vehicle purchase in 2024 has fallen from a year ago due to a shortage of affordable cars, inadequate charging infrastructure and ignorance about EV benefits, a study by J.D. Power, opens new tab has shown....
1 extra year will help to see how the batteries actual perform. After 10 years a Tesla’s battery is under 80% of its original capacity, you’re at the point of losing 1/4, 25%, of range. Not sure how many fail completely.
The theory is simple: instead of buying a household item or a piece of clothing or some equipment you might use once or twice, you take it out and return it.
I remember when corner stores rented DVDs, this could be another business for them. But…since they haven’t adopted it I guess it really isn’t that profitable. Power tool prices have come down in price and size.
There’s a tendency in this heated political climate to simply reject people who are saying false things and to write off conspiracy theorists writ large....
Youtube is horrible in some respects for creating a false reality. Click on one video and down a rabbit hole you go, your stream gets filled very quickly of similar videos, but sketcher in content.
Many neo-nazis used the BBS system to find each other. The funding model of direct email and such, that is used today, could probably be traced back to the early 1990s BBS forums. Scummy people have a way of finding each other.
Plant a bunch of trees, put down some mulch. Walk away for a year, with no worries. Once a year, add mulch. Enjoy providing habitat for birds and small mammals, plus the shade and privacy, for zero maintenance.
Look up mini-forest, micro-forest, tiny-forest, research. Crazy how a few trees changes a landscape for animals.
I don’t think that the Saudi prince or Chinese operative really care how the stock does. The problem is do you think you can short the Middle or China, or do you think that’ll they’ll keep dumping money in…since it’s pennies to them and they earn favor with potentially the next POTUS.
The suspension comes amid a wave of pro-Palestine student demonstrations across the country, with students staging occupations at universities including Columbia and Yale Universities.

Maybe, mabye not. If you buy the worst car that is for sale today…and keep it in good running condition by do frequent maintenance, in 30 years you’ll have a very interesting classic.
For example if you bought a Dodge Omni in 1990, or a Chevrolet Citation in 1985, you’d have a very interesting and unique car today.
Makes the Stock Market look like a scam to every normal person. Hurts the idea of ever investing or trusting any institution that is involved in investing. So yes a massive investigation of everything about this is warranted. It should be done by Congress, and Federal investigators.
“firms cannot change the contracts of older employees and cannot freely add higher-ranked positions to their organizations. In this model, a larger supply of older workers and declining economic growth restrict younger workers’ access to higher-paying roles and widen the age pay gap in favor of older workers.” www.nber.org/papers/w32340
Crazy that we are talking about an areas maybe 1/4 of the size of Chicago, when talking about Gaza. There are like only 6 land exists, 1 through Egypt and the rest through Israel.
For years there was a push by economists to include metrics on how people perceive the economy, because that will indicate their spending patterns.
Now, ‘only look at this specific data point, that does not include rents, mortgages or food, and indicates that wages are just slightly above inflation, as long as you don’t go back more than 6.2 months of data as proof that the economy is roaring!’.
The punishment laid out in their convictions take into account how involved they were in the insurrection. The Supreme Court isn’t taking that into account. Many are getting a simple fine for trespassing, but the ones that went with the intent of causing trouble are getting the actual real punishments.
Nobody really cares about climate change, is the sad fact. People want to fly on a plane for a vacation, live in the suburbs, eat meat, and use their time consuming everything.
1 in a 100,000 people in first world countries might be environmentalists. Everyone else just pretends to be and continues booking flights to the Caribbean. Much like in the 1960s only a few people were hippies but everybody took on their esthetic. It’s a dead buzzword.
Tell these Americans that the economy is humming, that median wage growth has nudged ahead of the core inflation rate, and that everything’s grand, and you’re likely to see a roll of the eyes.
Currant inflation is being caused because of high interest rates. Mortgages cost more, so landlords (40% of which are small mom and pop ordinary people renting a second home) increase the rents. It takes years for all the mortgages to flip over to the higher interest rates, so we’ve see this persistent and high inflation.
Lowering and raising interest rates directly correlates with the increasing or reducing inflation.
Meh. When you raise interest rates, companies raise prices, and go on borrowing. Raising rates doesn’t help fight inflation.
We are now seeing housing starts grinding to a halt, as average people stop buying homes do to high interest rates. These stories are starting to trickle into the press. Housing developers are calling high interest rates a disaster and economic killer. Politicians and banks listen to housing developers. The anger is building against bankers that believe simple stories such as ‘Lowering and raising interest rates directly correlates with the increasing or reducing inflation’, the real world is never that tidy.
