Are you a parent?

I love how the answers are like... really obvious things? Why does elder care suck? Because it's profit-motivated. Okay let's address that.

Medical lobby: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

RNA vaccines are a game changer. I think--barring political fuckery (big ask I know)--we'll see exponential benefits in other medical areas thanks to this technology/research.

I'm taking delivery of a Lightning XLT Extended Range on Wednesday (technically, it was already on lot but I don't get a day off until Wednesday). Got the dealer down to 42 before credits. 

Damn. One day when I actually buy a new car I'll hit you up to be my negotiator XD

The cuts reduced the starting price for a Model Y to $42,990

Still about $13,000 too high for the average consumer. No thanks. 

I need to get in on the anti woke grift train. Just put stickers with “anti woke” onto any product and start a Facebook page to advertise and you’ll be getting that easy chud money.

@GeneticBlueprint New album coming out on June 7th!

 

 

That's different than their previous stuff for sure. I kinda like it.

I'm 6'6" and every day I wish I was a bit shorter. Especially staying for long periods in South America like I just got back from. All doorways and arches are made for people that are like 5' tall I sear to god.

If it works, then great!  But I ain't exactly holding my breath.

This uri combined with the large ink I just got done definitely has taken a huge hit on my immune system. I’m gonna be sick for awhile.

Uri?

What ink did you get done? I'm scheduled for next week to complete the wrap on my upper arm.

Because flashing cameras and shutter clicks are distracting. So if you want to get a sense of what the person on the witness stand looks like, or how the accused looked during testimony the only way to get that across is through the sketch artist.

I googled that lol. No idea about your question really. 

 

Mostly irrelevant in this day and age though. 

I’ve always kind of wondered about why sketch artists are permitted and not cameras or whatever.

Outside of Tel Aviv, what is the general assessment?

 

As someone with little knowledge of Iranian capabilities, I feel like the expected result of this attack is that most of those weapons would be intercepted. On the other hand, it seems like Israel got a lot of help defending from this attack, which either means they needed the help or the collective effort to defend Israel was itself a message.

Also "free" defense systems testing

Meanwhile, if you’re a fascist then the government can only be using too much power against you and things are too broad

No quicker way to kill growth than the paywall, so will Threads or BlueSky be the successor once he finally sends this to a farm upstate to play with MySpace.

I like Threads quite a bit, actually. I hope it grows.

1. A seven year-old Israeli Bedouin girl is the sole casualty from the attack (she was injured by falling debris),  She's in critical condition at the hospital.

2. The only infrastructure damage of which I am aware is very minor damage to two airbases in the Negev Desert.

3. Only to Netanyahu's pride.

Not to diminish the pain of the child--that's absolutely awful--but it seems like Israel could garner some good will by brushing this one off and considering it a win. I mean Iran wasted a somewhat limited supply of missiles and drones.

How many casualties resulted in Iran's attack? How much infrastructure was damaged? Is there any ongoing harm as a result?

Toyota had the absolute gall to request $8/month for remote start in my van. After having a year free. Absolutely not worth it

Not exactly enshitification in the traditional sense but falls under that umbrella definitely.

I believe it was $199/month previously 

Also, personally, I feel as though monthly subs to use features built into something you own is anti-consumer (yes, I know Tesla isn’t the only to do this).

I will never pay for a subscription for anything in my car.

Will have to name it something after Mormons. Like the Utah Door Knockers or something.

I think they should go with naming the team something that has nothing to do with the region. Such as Real Salt Lake or the Utah Jazz. Its tradition at this point.

I feel like I’m a spokesperson for SAVE now, I’m trying to get everyone I know with student loans to sign up, especially those close to my age.

Literally no reason not to if you qualify.
