Sure.

He’ll be confirmed with no problem. They always give Trump whatever he wants.

I think she should do it to fuck with Trump since all his 47 branded merch would then be worthless.

Yup. We know he’s a rapist, a racist, and a criminal, and that didn’t lose him any support. What exactly could there be that would turn off his supporters? At this point I really don’t think anything would do it. They’d just say “well, on him it looks good!”

Stone ground white corn. Very popular in the southern US. Similar to polenta (which is made from yellow corn) but you can prepare it in lots of different ways.

You are eaten by a grue

To be fair, if you take a sufficiently high dose of mercury, syphillis will no longer be your biggest problem.

Weather. Snow. Effect of cold on batteries. I know everyone hates those evil SUV’s, bit when there’s 14" of snow on the ground your tesla/volt/insert your favorite EV ain’t gonna cut it

How so? I live in Boston, where it gets cold and snowy. During the winter, the efficiency on my Bolt goes from 4.0mi/kWh (134.8 mpg equivalent) to 2.7mi/kWh to (90.99 mpg equivalent), and I park outside in the cold. Otherwise, it works just like any car I’ve had. Why exactly do I need an SUV?

Many things can be bad at once, and I’m sure tire particles really are bad. It is just weird that in the 137 years ICE cars have been manufactured (again, with tires the whole time), the fact that the tire particles were way worse than all the other things cars spew out went completely unnoticed.

I’m only being partially facetious. Yes I understand cars are now much cleaner than they used to be, so probably in the past tailpipe emissions were the dominant problem. But an awful lot of the articles talking about this are pushing the idea that EVs are WORSE for the environment than ICE cars (so let’s just keep driving our F150s!), which is absolutely untrue. Better is still better, even if it isn’t perfect.

It’s interesting to me that as soon as EV’s are finally seriously becoming a thing, we are told that tire dust, rather than ICE emissions, are really the worst thing possible for the planet (and it’s somehow implied that ICE vehicles don’t have tires). When somebody points out that ICE vehicles do, in fact, have tires too, EV’s are STILL worse because EV’s are heavier than the equivalent ICE cars. Strangely, the fact that for years, people have been driving ludicrously overweight vehicles (the Ford F150, weighing in at 4,070 to 5,757 lbs, is the top selling passenger vehicle in the US, and last I checked, it had tires) was never an issue.

Once USB became the standard their was no real reason to hold onto lightning other than it being proprietary and them wanting to hand hold their users

Other than the fact that they promised when they switched to lightning they wouldn’t change connectors again for a decade.

Because when they switched from the 30 pin connector to lightning, everybody bitched and moaned about it. So they promised they’d keep lightning for a decade. It’s been 11 years.

But I’m sure if they’d broken their promise and switched earlier, everyone would have been understanding.

Especially since the Ukrainians have shown that they really aren’t very good at doing that.

The busses out of Harvard station used them (71, 73, 75? and some others).

Going with the “batteries catch on fire argument” is stupid. “Batteries are heavy and expensive” is probably more compelling. But yeah, wires are better solution for things going in fixed routes.

We’ve had these in Boston since I was a kid, but recently they’ve been taking down the wires.

The devs mentioned that in one of the release notes. They say it’s due to a bug in WebKit. If you touch nothing for a second or two it will unfreeze.

This is, very simply, child abuse.
