  1. I really don’t think the stock market is going to give a fuck about anybody’s political ideology come Monday. Trudeau put this statement out within the last hour.
  2. Then she’s technically not a Karen.
  3. Will it affect Musk?
  4. If they were suicidal, well there were other people in the cockpit who could have stopped them plus there were probably other more interesting targets to take themselves out with, and they didn't move to adjust to make sure they would hit - that looked like a long track. If they just point it at the airplane, one of the other crew members might have noticed them homing in on the airplane, or ATC, or they might have waited until the last second to do it, so that they couldn't be stopped. It looked like somebody oblivious to the airplane. If you are normally flying low, one of them might have been wearing them just to keep an eye on the terrain/buildings/etc. 200 feet may seem high, but it's not. The ones I used, granted I wasn't a pilot or flying, were early 1990s era gear, and tunnel vision was an apt description, and I did drive with them and it was white knuckle the whole way. I hated them because depth perception was shit, and you could have people literally standing off to your 2 o'clock or 10 o'clock and not realize it. I know they have much fancier stuff now, but I bet it's still not the best for this situation, especially if they think they had eyes on what they thought was the proper aircraft while being in contact with ATC.
  5. Based on the fact that it was headed to Mexico, and somebody has already opened up the cartel can of worms. And in the morning...
  6. YT comments never fail: "Wow. How horrifying. Lift with your knees bro. I hope his back is okay!" That was an impressive lift.
  7. People mention COVID but I was thinking the little Suez Canal problem we had recently.
  8. https://www.investopedia.com/why-a-new-rule-helped-tesla-get-usd600m-in-bitcoin-gains-but-may-cost-microstrategy-billions-8783060#:~:text=Tesla earlier this week reported,Board guidelines for crypto assets. I’m sure that’s a sound strategy.
  9. Back in the Good Ole Days, it was expected you would crank out 9 Ultima or King’s Quest or Wizardry titles. Or a bazillion Warhammer or Final Fantasy titles. Now instead of giving the fans what they want, they are trying to get artsy fartsy or full of themselves. Just give us a sequel with the latest tech. Not just RPGs - EA did this with SimCity and destroyed that franchise and let other companies step into the void and take over and make lots of money.
  10. That was such a weird opening for an entire series, yet here we are.
  11. People do not understand that we can’t just ramp up food production, and a lot of stuff that is assembled from various suppliers has finely tuned supply chains that will have serious ripple effects.
  12. Aren’t those usually just one pilot? Did he have a medical emergency himself? edit never mind already on fire when it hit
  13. I would like to believe you, but for reasons best put in another forum, I can’t. These are not for negotiating purposes. The question now is how bad things will be and how we dig ourselves out of it.
  14. Mortgage brokers and economists. Surly has an abundance of talent, including a few here and there that came in through portal transfers. But just wait, the first Tesla vehicles that crashes without a driver in Austin is going to turn us all into personal injury lawyers.
  15. https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/trump-reasserts-towering-100-tariff-threat-against-brics-countries I don't know how much trade we do with Brazil, India, and China, but 100% tariffs seems like it might be a little painful. Seems like the economic fallout of 100% tariff against those three countries might affect American consumers a little more than 25% on avocados from Mexico.
  16. Foundation 1.0 is out, finally out of Early Access. https://store.steampowered.com/app/690830/Foundation/
  17. I can only imagine the personal injury lawyers going into a feeding frenzy if this shit goes sideways.
  18. Surly needs to get in on this. Gotta be some bridges along 35 to Dallas that we can take over. Shit, TXDOT has been rebuilding the same fucking highway for decades. Better yet, bridges that cross into Oklahoma. Have some one-way tolls, with a little extra fee for the OU games and when the Cowboys are playing at Jerryworld.
  19. I've seen Waymo cars a lot driving through my area, basically every day, and none of them have acted weird/dangerous. I can't wait to see what happens when Leon unleashes Teslas. If it's anything like his robots, he'll probably have humans driving them remotely.
  20. Temu and Alibaba too much of a threat? It's weird how many people I know have bought from Temu, that are not "savvy" in terms of online....well anything, not just retail.
  21. And I'm sure that Leon would never roll a half-assed system out in beta testing just because a bunch of people didn't want him to do it or told him that he couldn't do it.
