I’ve played enough Battlefield to know that a war in a oil field is not in short a spectacular.

I’m starting to see how he managed to bankrupt the casino. It’s because he won’t stop committing pointless crimes that don’t in fact benefit him in any way.

Even if Trump hangs around as a dictator there’s still no point investing in Venezuela. It’s not as if there is even a global oil shortage so why would you want to build more infrastructure.

He’s so bad at business that he doesn’t realise that companies won’t want to oversaturate the market and lower their margins. This is a concept of 12-year-old should be able to understand.

So when he was on air force one and said that he’d spoken to the oil companies before the invasion. That was obviously a lie.

Is brain really is mush isn’t it.

If someone were to actually assassinate the orange one, you guys are way more fucked.

Why? Who would be ordering it, Vance? MAGA have one figurehead and a bunch of background characters that no one really likes. If Trump died it would be over. The GOP knows that, which is why you’re starting to see some pushback against Trump and his more insane ideas. They have started to realise that they need to be politically palatable in a post Trump world.

Why would Trump leave that’s antithesis to his entire personality. Sticking around long after it’s clear that everyone hates him, claiming some sort of conspiracy, that’s more his style.

They’re not experts they’re just some random think tank milane actors with a political goal which means they’re just arrogant people who like telling everybody else what to do largely with zero qualifications.

It’s not that I’m boycotting FIFA as much as I’m just not going to the US because I’m not a self-destructive idiot with a death wish.

I wouldn’t have minded quite so much if they made everything voice controlled. But all my speech recognition system can do is just call and text people. It can’t turn on the AC, you can’t even navigate to a destination with the GPS unless you go into the GPS app first.

Also it would be really nice if the activation phrase was something other than the word “hey”, you know perhaps they could go with a word that isn’t said 5,000 times a day anyway.

If VW made a car that randomly exploded every time it went over 40 miles an hour they would still sell it if in some way that saved the money.

US and EU regulators announced last year that cars with touchscreen controls could get worse safety ratings.

Yeah that’s the real reason they’re moving back it’s got nothing to do with the complaints from the customers because they’ve been ignoring those for over a decade. They just know that people won’t buy their cars if it receives a substandard rating.

But hey I’ll still take the win.

MAGA is actually currently having a bit of a crisis of confidence. One of the promises Trump made was to stop the empire building and international interference. Now he’s going around causing an international incident every 45 minutes.

He has gone from saying that it was a single strike, to threatening more strikes against Venezuela, to threatening yet other countries in the last 24 hours.

This also gives justification to North Korea. They’ve been arguing for ages that they should be allowed nuclear weapons because otherwise the US would come in and force a regime change, and now Trumpsky has just handed them the evidence.

What is going on with the focus in that image?

The fan looks like it’s a tilt shift, with a very narrow focal range, but everything else in the image is perfectly clear. It looks like the result of some very crappy AI object deletion but I can’t work out what they would want to delete.

There’s a shoe repair shop in my town. People absolutely do get simple things repaired what you can’t get repaired are things like TVs anymore.

But things don’t break like they used to, it used to be that a component would fail and you could just replace that broken component but everything’s integrated these days so if one thing goes down the whole thing is dead.

Well that’s quite likely. The vast majority of people do die as a result of some sort of cause.

It’ll collapse under the weight of its own incompetent sooner or later.

I see so the solution to the very real problem is to pretend that it doesn’t exist and to penalise people. Great.

I’m going to say that I don’t want this. Sure 99% of people have smartphones but I don’t think it’s worth alienating the 1% that don’t so that it’s mildly more convenient for everyone else.

I can already transfer money from one bank account to another without having to involve the government I don’t see the benefit in changing that.

They’re trying to implement something like this in the UK but they haven’t been able to explain how they plan to accommodate people that don’t have smartphones. Because they exist and need to be accommodated for.
