I don’t think he cares about his own right to vote…

I think the only time he’s ever voted were when he was performatively voting for himself.

So, locking out repairs for anything they would have to order parts for.

I’m guessing that they’re using some sort of custom size for their bolts and tolerances in the train. The competitors likely have the standard sizing for parts on hand, and any custom part would need to be ordered in. Likely from the same supplier.

Since they know their supplier’s order return timing, they can set up the kill switch when they know that the train will be sitting in a yard awaiting parts.

Scummy as fuck.

They’ve put warning labels on the lemonade now (there were none before), and have also removed it from their unlimited refills club.

They’ve also lowered the amount of caffeine to a somewhat safer dose.

400mg of caffeine is the daily maximum dose recommended by several health organizations. And that’s for healthy adults. Keep in mind that one charged lemonade had more caffeine than a full can of Red Bull, and a full can of Monster combined. It also contained a lot of taurine which increases the effect of caffeine.

The charged lemonade does not taste caffeinated, and there were basically no warnings about it in store. The marketing and in store branding made it seem like a sort of Gatorade, i.e. an electrolyte drink.

It was also sold next to the fruit juices and such. Which would imply less caffeine.

It was also part of the unlimited sips program, providing free refills. Drinking two or three would cause a healthy adult to start having heart palpitations, and those who are at risk would go into cardiac arrest after one (which is what happened with the first death)

Since the first death, Panera has reduced the amount of caffeine in the lemonade, and many stores have started putting it behind the counter rather than out in the open. They’ve also added warnings about the caffeine content of the drinks, but still don’t warn about the compounding effects of taurine.

These lawsuits are likely going to be settled out of court, because Panera did fuck up here, and they also don’t want the bad press of multiple deaths linked to their overly caffeinated drink.

Well, COP28 was literally hosted by an Oil CEO…

And with Regulatory capture, many oil execs are positioned to decide energy and environmental matters.

Trump also seems the type to actively sabotage any sort of peace process to boost his own campaign.

And he has that Southern Strategy down pat.

Not all bigots are secretly gay. Some are just hate filled assholes. Most are hate filled assholes.

I just had a flashback of trying to get cups working…

I’m sort of glad I haven’t had to use a printer in years.

Windows 11 also drove me to Linux again…

Although to be fair, it came pre-installed on my new laptop and I was just too lazy to wipe it and switch over. My (now) backup laptop has been running ubuntu for years now, same with my desktop before it died.

But I got about 6 months of windows 11 after de-cluttering it. Still wasn’t enough to convince me to keep it.

Mandatory mixed zoning of commercial and residential, with single family zoning banned.

Industrial can still be its own thing, but single family with no commercial should not exist.

Strokes, but also broken necks.

And some of these quacks do “adjustments” on children and infants.

Shelly and 2020 Subarus.

If I were a data miner, that sort of info could identify, well, more people than I expected, honestly.

So you don’t care about children dying when they’re Palestinian?

Thank you for being honest about it, but maybe be more upfront about your hatred in the future. Then we can all dismiss you out of hand and not have to waste time on your bullshit.

So you don’t care about brown people dying to fuel Netanyahu’s love of ethnic cleansing?

Are you one of those jackasses who believe that the Jews have to control the holy land so that Jesus can come back and send them all to hell?

Those fucks seem to care about innocent deaths as much as you seem to…

Israel has killed over 15k Palestinians in Gaza in the last two months. Most of them children.

So by your metric that’s worse. Much worse.

Israel doesn’t bomb military relevant targets, unless you count every single building in Gaza as “Militarily relevant”.

The lie of “Israel defending themselves” has also worn thin after it was revealed that Netanyahu was both supporting Hamas, and had copies of their full plans over two years ago.

He even diverted troops from Gaza to aid in the ethnic cleansing over in the West Bank.

A rocket like that has almost zero pilot control.

In fact, for the longest time, astronauts were 100% payload. Now they’re 99% payload.

It doesn’t matter how many people use the service, what matters is how many advertisers are left vs how much debt twitter has to service.

Those two numbers seem to be heavily on the side of the debt now.

Everyone in the progressive caucus seem to be good.

No real complaints about any of them. They constantly push for good shit.

And if they weren’t paid, you might not have as many of them.

No, the absolute only people you’d have in congress would be rich assholes from rich families.

Yes, there are a bunch of corrupt bastards. But there are also quite a few who actually seem to give a damn.

Cut away the pay, and then the only people who could ever afford to be politicians would be the people just like the clueless old lady from the article. i.e. the rich.
