My aim is to replace Biden with someone who can actually win. Bidens team is on the offensive trying to claim he’s got the best shot but that’s a load of hot garbage. I think you’d be surprised at how many people voted for anything not trump last time around. This time around his cognitive decline has become so blatantly obvious that by even defending it you destroy the democratic party’s credibility and as a result become Trumps real enabler. The election will be decided by a few swing states and a small number of undecided voters living in those states. Telling them they are wrong about what the see and hear from Biden is gaslighting plain and simple. If democrats want to differentiate themselves as the morally superior party then lying out of fear isn’t a good look. The situation is what it is. The best chance they have is to replace Biden as soon as possible. Every day that passes decreases the nominees chances. Also, I really hope they hold a primary vote because just telling voters they get Vice President Harris makes this feel less like a democracy and will definitely alienate enough voters to throw the whole election.

Final thought, as long as we have a two party system nothing will really get better. The best we can hope for is not worse. It’s very telling that so many democratic congress people are afraid to challenge the party. If an elected representative is afraid to act on their conscience then it’s obvious we don’t have a real democracy.

He’s only working on that particular old man’s OS.

That’s the silver lining I guess. Elections are such stressful events that people living under totalitarian regimes just don’t have to deal with.

Agreed. No Firefox means no monthly payment from me.

See I thought a conductor was a person who grabs a live main wire while standing in water.

Classic VIM. It’s not intuitive and probably won’t get the job done unless you really know what you’re doing.

A truck has to have a nose that looks like a big slab of concrete to oncoming traffic. If it doesn’t men will be forced to wear dresses, sing show tunes while sitting to pee. Thems the rules.

All companies care about is profit margin. This is why automotive companies are so focused on trucks and SUVs. These vehicles cost a bit more to produce but can be sold at multiple times the additional investment. When electric vehicles took off they were a status symbol and sold primarily to luxury car buyers. US manufacturers beholden to share holder value will never focus on affordable transportation. This is why China will eventually eclipse the US in electric vehicles.

I think it’s because he represents how rich powerful people live under a different set of rules and are seemingly able to get away with almost anything. Compound that with the right wing obsession with human trafficking that usually leans into conspiracy theories that both exaggerate the real issue and somehow only blames “leftist elites”. They hope the Epstein release will finally prove their wacky theorys correct.

The behavior of well off western tourists is usually ignored by the morality police. They keep this double standard to buoy their lucrative tourism industry.

It’s almost like greed inflation isn’t working the way business had hoped.

Remote workers can live in locations with cheaper rent. Blackstone has invested far too much money buying up overpriced housing in densely populated areas to allow that. A spread out population is bad for their bottom line.

That’s not entirely true. The “top speed” on these can easily be exceeded although the board will attempt to thwart this by changing the ride angle. The issue is that past a certain speed (maybe 15 mph) they use a technique called field weakening to provide higher speeds. While field weakening provides higher RPMs it comes at the cost of torque. At high speeds it becomes easier to max out the motors duty cycle. When the motor reaches its max duty cycle it has no more power to hold the nose up and can drop the rider. The only warning currently available is the speed based nose lift to let you know you are at the speed they’ve set as “max”.

The recall will add a new feature that will provide an audible alert and vibration when the board reaches 90% of its available duty cycle well before it runs out of power. Hopefully it works as intended and prevents a lot of avoidable accidents.

The guy openly posted that the FBI wouldn’t dare raid him because they’d get a 45 ACP in the face. I’m no law enforcement apologist but that kind of boast can put people on edge. Specific threats of violence should never be acceptable.
