They nuked the federal credit. They killed grants and incentives for companies investing in producing new EVs and EV factories. Manufacturers mainly focused on meeting Tesla at the luxury end and can’t beat their price to feature ratio so they’re losing money trying to match on each sale. If they sell, because dealers will lead you to gassers for more profit. States are now charging more to register EVs than gassers to compensate for the gas tax.

GM went from saying they were all in to cancelling the Bolt after bringing it back nearly immediately after the federal credit was nixed. If they’re willing to shitcan a brand new model that fast, and eat a few billion or hundreds of millions to mitigate anticipated future losses now, smaller companies like Honda will read the writing on the wall. And they did, most are shifting strategy.

tldr: Companies are not going to invest or develop EVs with all the newly introduced risk by the current wildly unpredictable clown show of an administration.

IIRC The Civil Rights Lawyer from Audit the Audit is helping him out. Shit is fucked if it has his attention. Hope it turns out ok.

Mine is only 15-20 minutes. But recently leadership gave an employee at a different office an award for something else. The guy had to give an impromptu speech about it. He mentioned the usual stuff but then commented on how his commute was an extra hour compared to his previous job, but “so worth it”. I wanted to reach through the screen.

You don’t have to snore to have it.

I jumped after PS3. I logged in one day to find a message that the Smash Brothers clone I enjoyed was removed from my library and the servers shut down. Just, out of nowhere. Also, the low frame rate and FOV in some games started giving me motion sickness consistently. I do miss the simplicity of owning consoles and the excitement of new hardware releases.

The US release I’d occasionally rent for my SMS always fascinated me though i was a bit too young to really know wtf to do. I remember it was very difficult and the random encounters were brutal, but there was so much to explore and see. And boy was the box art neutered to hell compared to this beautiful graphic design.

Yeah this is absolutely propaganda right out of the Project 2025 handbook. Gen-z won’t drink the Kool-Aid and it frightens them. Keep at it.

There’s one that lives near my house. Initially i felt bad always seeing it alone. However as time passes I can confirm it is definitely an agent of chaos: randomly crashing into the dogs’ pool and bird bath at full speed, sending the grackles, finches and sparrows flying, and making “nests” in the dumbest places possible such as the window sill near our front door when it’s terrified of us. It somehow laid an egg in our mailbox that is always closed. The other birds give it a very wide berth any time it lands near them, and now i think I understand why.

azire let me forward ports and owns their own servers that don't have disks so I dumped Mullvad a long time ago. Also they're not side-talking shitheads. Unfortunately they got bought by Malwarebytes so I await the enshittification. Can't win.

This always baffled me. It really was so lazy and boring with the sets. It is weird when you think about how they had all those creative engineers making frickin' killbots at their disposal. Let them eat... But no, just flat areas and stupid hammers and floor saws too slow and weak to do anything... so everyone makes indestructible wedges to push other bots up on the edge, or a spin-hammer that is undefeatable.

This is probably mean but someone get this fool a mustache brush for the love of Jesus.

Oh no.
