  • And if the only people willing to work for the tyrant only kids the ring, it will take a long while for someone to stop his worse actions, if anyone ever does.

    I don’t believe in heros, they were just brave enough or dumb enough and in the right place to do some good. And that might actually describe this guy. But still just a flawed person.

    I absolutely disagree with much of what Liz Cheney supports, but I’ll still give her props for serving on the J6 committee knowing what it could mean for her career.




  • I thought the cars were mediocre at best and overpriced. The more I learned the less i liked them.

    • Primary door function being completely electronic with a warning that using the manual release could damage the car.
    • Proprietary navigation, so traffic data only comes from other Tesla’s.
    • Lack of lidar, which has been the standard for accident avoidance tech since forever.


  • Subscription based navigation? Want to use your car’s navigation system, there’s a fee for that? Want to fly a drone, that’ll be 9.99/month. Hopefully there will be a carve out for emergency systems.

    This will also allow Tesla to up their traffic game. If everyone is using the Starlink GPS for navigation they’ll have all the data.




  • While I agree that first past the post is the worst possible option, we need national reform as well.

    STAR or RCV has the potential to break the 2 party system where votes are counted, but it comes up short against the electoral college system. As long as the electoral college is how we choose our President we will only have 2 viable candidates and the parties will have elevated power to not only choose our candidates but to elevate their preferred down ballot candidates which hobbles alternative voting mechanisms.

    The electoral college combined with citizens United gives the parties practically unchecked power.
