So who is getting paid off for this? There isn't an existing private competitor that I know of, but the point of eliminating services like this in Project 2025 is to hand over all the power and wealth to private operations.

You'd have to be an American to think that the next thing to happen to those drives involved anything other than an axe.

If it's black's move black can play for a stalemate, but can still lose.

  • Have task to do
  • Do the task
  • Feel absolutely miserable as soon as it's done and sob until somebody else comes home

What electric vehicle gets 5 miles/1.2kWh? That's only 240 Wh/mi.

A small 30 amp level 2 charger can put another 10 miles of range in a 450 Wh/mi car in 40 minutes.

A 15 amp level 1 charger can put another 10 miles of range in a 450 Wh/mi car in 2.5 hours on paper, but practically it takes longer, over 3 hours if it downrates itself to 12 amps, and almost 5 hours if it chickens out to 8 amps.

Another 4.5 kWh of battery gets another 10 miles of range without charging.

Having a level 2 charger at home means any time you go home for just about any reason you can always take just about any trip again right away, without an expensive vehicle with an oversized battery.

That url is terrifying

Have you listened to yourself speak? The time, effort, and cost of listening to an album are nowhere near the time, effort, and cost of choosing and purchasing a shirt. Unless the album came out 3 days ago and isn't easily available online yet that question sounds ... unpleasant.

A conversation and challenging someone are two different things. They didn't open up a conversation, they challenged the person with the T-shirts interest. They deserve to be challenged back, especially in a way that calls attention to the fact that they are abbrasive, intolerable, or worse.

Doesn't even need a caption anymore.

You can't control your own

In the 80s McDonald's both didn't pay minimum wage and required employees to purchase uniforms from the company.

Companies can still require employees to purchase uniforms in the US as long as the deduction for the uniform doesn't reduce their wages below the pittance that federal minimum wage is.

 

Should I wait for the rotation and outlaw junction to spend my gold or do a few "Jump In!"s now to get more cards?

 

The last couple days I've finally been able to work on some of the big projects I care about and have wanted to do for months. But wanting to do all the things I want to do and having lots of ideas is painful, like before I got anxiety, ADHD treatment (which my doctor interpreted as being more of an anxiety thing) but also stopped doing the big things.

It's so tempting to ignore the things I really want and go burry myself in a video game or something.
