Grifter baiting his teenage incel followers

65 l/100km... Holy shit, a Bugatti Veyron running at top speed over 400km/h is consuming 122 l/100km.

That's insane

Yeah, Shine on You Crazy Rhombus would never have been a hit.

While I abhor the whole concept of tipping, the thing that really grinds my gears is that we are expected to pay a percentage of the bill for service. If I order a basic cheese pizza or a 16 ounce tomahawk steak with a big chunk of foie gras and all the trimmings the server does not have to do much extra work for the latter. But if I have to tip $5 on a $20 pizza, why the fuck do I have to tip $100 for almost the same amount of service for the steak? Sure it weighs more and you might need to make an extra trip to serve the trimmings, but WTF, the server is not providing any more value by serving an expensive dish.

If I order an expensive bottle of wine it takes no extra effort to serve, why should I pay a shit ton more service charge?

USA, get your shit together, this is so not right. Land of the free? My arse.

His followers will love it, most run gas guzzling trucks and hate electric cars and their owners with a passion.

I have a GeForce GTX 970 from 2015 that's still doing sterling service every day in my recently refreshed HTPC, delivering 4K movies and the occasional game to my 65in Sony OLED TV. My best tech buy ever.

It gets rid of the nag screen so you can just watch the video. For uBlock Origin, it's a bit crude, may affect other bits of interface, I also use the Enhancer for YouTube plug-in for Firefox which is really useful.

Oh no, anyway.

Ok, I'm not an American but I work for and own shares in an American company, so I have an interest. As an outsider it looks obvious that the right wing GOP do not command majority support, if it wasn't for the archaic electoral system, billionaire backing, obscene gerrymandering and outright cheating, denying votes to people who would never vote for them and making it borderline impossible to vote, the GOP would be largely an irrelevance. It's "base" are growing old and dying off, and younger people despise them, their only hope of gaining new younger voters seems to be crippling the education system so they are too stupid to realise they are having the wool pulled over their eyes so they vote for party that hurts the people they have been taught to hate rather than they ones doing actual harm to them.

Against this background, the GOP faces a bleak future, it either modernises, helping those who vote for them rather than just those who pay them, or it goes full authoritarian, while they still have enough voters to get them in power, guaranteeing them the power to rule without majority support. It seems like they chose the latter.

It's truly frightening, the thought of TFG , a soon to be bankrupt felon rotting in jail, a traitor who launched a coup to overthrow democracy is the front runner for the GOP nomination.

Oh wow, I hate it so much. Look down at the screen, aim for a button or piece of UI, look back at the road because you have traveled about 100m without checking what in front of you, or coming at you from the side, keep your finger on the same trajectory towards the desired UI then BUMP, you hit a slight depression in the road and FUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKK you just switched off your favourite podcast and switched on the FM radio you never use so it's never tuned and it in so it goes BRRRRSHHHSHHSTTTSHHEEEEXXXHS. Then it takes about 4 or 5 steps to get back your podcast, each of which can turn out to be exactly the same as the one which switched on the FM radio.

Touch screen in cars. Whomever it was that signed off on that development, may you suffer a long and painful death.
