I keep wondering about aptera. They are just getting their production ready model going and I can’t help but think if they don’t have production to far setup in california they would be smarter to do it in ireland. The carbon fiber body comes from europe and the batteries from asia. So evern if they build it in the us it will suffer tariffs for like 2/3rds of the cost or higher and it will effect everything sold everywhere. If they built it in ireland then it would be way cheaper everywhere but the us and the us cost would not be all that much higher than it would be if they built it here. I assume anything else with such a diverse supply chain would be effected similarly. Like boeing vs airbus.

I don’t see one unless our society because less dependent on bullshit and honors privacy. I don’t know about anyone else but I constantly bullshit specifics about myself on line to dirty up any data collected on me.

aughts were not bad but it was falling and once we got in the teens ugh. oh and old man thing the pre www was advertisement free which was awesome.

I mean cali is about double NY but add in a few other blue states like illinois, washington, new jersey, massachusetts, and colorado and you will have more than doubled cali. and even though other blue states may not be as big any additions help make for a more robust pool. The big problem is people going to red states while young and healthy and then going to blue states if they get ill.

life and death just is and it does not matter if death is good or bad given its nature. Lifes quality though is important and if it does not have enough of it then I will have none of it. Im old enough though that im not looking to survive a horrible decade of facism. Surviving auschwitz if your young enough to possibly enjoy some decades of decentness afterwards is one thing but if your old enough that after that experience you are left with nothing and have to try and “retire” and look after your increasingly failing health. Ill skip that.

Realizing that each human life encompasses a time-space span of generally double digit years and miles. Further that a good life is good but a good death is superior to a bad life. Death is inevitable but it is a choice to “experience” the apocalypse.

lets not forget browbeating the fed to drop interest rates before covid hit.

Is that an issue. I thought glass did not allow uv through.

I hate when that happens and im too embarrassed to mention anything so I just politely finish up and go on my way.

Its hard to smoke uncut so I prefer cut.

This type of activity just increased and increased in the aughts and slashdot just was pointless. Its sorta like the superbowl for me. Best to just avoid the stream and check out best of lists after the fact.

I have not been on since my last comment but man I remember avoiding the internet for a day back in the day. Good to be back.

ahh. yeah. forgot. its don’t look at the internet day.

I was a bit by the libertarian bug in college but what got me is just where you draw the line and it can never deal with economic inequality. Even if you started in perfectly level field it will lead to massive inequality eventually.

only if tiffany has an iud and the son has condoms.

a smaller replicator that just fits into the space and continue till the space could only do like a gumdrop.

this makes me think of the dilbert where the lazy guy talks about reusing code from payroll on this project for airline software and warns his workmates to not fly on payday.

yeah. whatever.

My olfactory experiences in the 90’s were not like that.

corporate fucking personhood. not that it exists but the friggin false idea that it should and any belief system that lead or may ever lead to it.
