@MountainMan that doesn’t sound good.
@Valkyrie_D Ooooooh Canada, (I) stand on guard for thee! (Eh?)
@Kittiekatt53 escalators. Everywhere.
@stuckinaredstate Howdy StuckinaRedState. :)
There’s a false rumor that fElon bought Ford. If I was a multi-billionaire I’d consider it. $43B market cap, it’s possible.
I’d buy them and make them make a simple modular modern electric “people’s car”. The Model T put them on the map, and they forgot all about it.
Carbon fiber tub frames, modular swappable standard battery packs, recycled aluminum body panels (that shared parts across multiple body styles), all while supporting the union.
It’d bleed cash at the start, but the whole damned company is chump change to these tech oligarchs.
I’d also go big on retrofitting classic gas cars people already own. I’d make an electric crate engine that was a drop in replacement for GM LS engines (dimensionally) and gearboxes.
It’s all a pipe dream of course. They’d rather have penisy rockets.
@matuzalem Punk is the best stage of grief :)
@Anouk leverage this for a cause. If you watched Seinfeld, her’s a handy example: Elaine had a guy who’d fallen for her and she told him she could only be with a hero or something. The guy ends up being a harpoon shield for a whale in a Greenpeace boat or something, never to return. I may not be doing the storyline justice, but the gist is there. Tell the guy you could only love a fella who’d killed a bunch of neo-Nazis or whatever current topic suits you. Presto! Win win. 🤪
@matuzalem I get your point, but there comes a point where one as a group become what they take on/accept.
Bill Clinton gave us NAFTA.
@matuzalem let’s not forget the key inaction of Merrick Fucking Garland.
@matuzalem if the trash bag fits…
@BLuOXide I have an old school handheld CB. I’m waiting for people to rediscover that band.
@MrGoat if I wore hats, that’d be the one
@Kaysymmetry realization is the prerequisite of change, if that’s what you want. 👍
Apple put the power button on the new Mac Mini on the bottom?
Says who? Everyone is assuming that’s the bottom, because the logo is on the other side and the button side has a non-slip ring.
That logo goes on the bottom. You don’t need to see it. The power button is on top. Along with the non-slip ring…. For anything you might set on top of it. Yeah.. that’s the ticket!
You know- “think different” (which grammatically still chaps my ass).
@Faustus the future is fingerprinty
I’ll probably say something you find offensive if I haven’t already. It’s okay- mute or block me.
