Jokes aside. You can build you own solar charging station for a few grand.

Not a lot of people can build their own oil extraction and refinement system in their backyard.

On the flip side, might be a good time for everyone to learn about wood gasifiers.

The one thing you are forgetting… Is that Tesla lobbies the regulatory agencies.

For another comparison, the cyber truck is 17 times more likely to burn you to death than the Ford Pinto, a car that is practically synonymous with fire.

Robot/AI

There’s hay porn now?! I’m done with this degeneracy, that was the last straw!

Yes, it was sarcastic pedantry.

Not joking.

Yeah. Pretty much. CSA is gonna happen to someone somewhere sometime, that’s their problem, but 50 cents more for gas is happening to me right here right now!

Not my belief, but I’ve got a bunch of idiot neighbors and at least two mega chuches near me.

10 years? I’m pretty sure 10 months is 50/50 odds at this point…

I have insight to a company that does automotive loans, and the number of people getting offers for 30% APR 84 month 0-down loans (and accepting them) is way too fucking high.

People can’t really afford cars. The US government considers domestic car production so important, that we are practically banned from buying “better” cheaper cars made in China. The auto manufacturers know this and are absolutely chowing down in the captive market. The working class is going to lose reliable transportation, at the same time companies (and the government) are pushing to end Work-from-home options, and there is basically 0 public transportation in the US.

So a lot of people aren’t going to be able to afford the systemically artificially inflated cars to get to their arbitrarily in-office jobs and they can’t reasonably take the systemically hobbled/non-existent bus or train.

Oh, did I mention that we’ve pissed off and mistreated and deported all of the migrant labor that made fresh food widely available and cheap in the US? Oh, and we also emptied critical agricultural water reserves in a smooth-brain attempt to fight a fire 200 miles away. Don’t forget, global shipping and fuel prices are fucked because of a war we decided to start to distract from the fact that the president is practically in the Epstein files more than Epstein himself? So come summer, we’re going to have no food because we have no water and no labor, and importing food is going to be even more expensive? And that’s before the capricious 100%+ tarrifs the president is slapping on everything via a fucking tweet.

Come on… I don’t think I could fuck up running a county this bad if I was actively trying.

Xbox is going to be a subscription game console service, like stadia was.

Microsoft is going to use the “free” compute cycles when their AI slopcenters aren’t at full utilization to run Xbox games.

TBF, the question didn’t say anything about eating the meat, or even cooking it.

The LLM just assumed that you were going to cook it in the microwave and eat it.

I’m having trouble coming up with a meat that would be unsafe to put in a microwave. Maybe poison dart frog meat?
