It's worked for me. Enough to pass the inspection at least. The car is already over 250,000 miles, so hard to justify a new cat.

Gebru is toxic, and represents the worst of the left.

Since you already have an X presence, I wonder if location-based X advertising would be cost-effective.

Do you know the cause of slow business? I would expect that you would be getting good business. You've got great reviews, etc.

You can see it in Google Earth. This is in northern VT.

It IS right coded. But Trump has upended everything. For example, you have Rs accusing Ds of being communists while their leader enacts state ownership of capital and is in love with Kim Jong Un.

You might consider borrowing some ideas from this guy who lived many years ago. I think his name was Reagan.

Can you explain this ELI5? Since oil has to be refined before it is useful, I don't understand. It's like saying we are making more potato chips than before, but we can't transport as many. Where does the excess go?

MAGA: "Oil is good, renewables are bad! Oh, except for ethanol, which is good. Because of reasons."

The only consistent theme of MAGA is grift. "Renewables are bad!" "Oh, except ethanol. That is good! Because reasons." "People who live off handouts are bad!" "Oh, except farmers. Because reasons." I wish MAGA would support nuclear like they do ethanol. No grift in it, though.

We are desperately in need of a small government, free market, anti-regulation, reduced spending, pro-technology, pro-manufacturing party.

It is so strange. The MAGAs seem fixated on portraying Democrats as communists. But on that front, MAGA is no better. I don't think they actually know what communism is.

That's about the budget of the National Science Foundation, the primary source of basic research funding in the US. There are plenty of things wrong with the NSF, but despite it all, many of the PhDs working at frontier labs were funded by the NSF.

They made the problem worse with their non-apology initial response that "neglected" to admit that there was a price tag next to the piece.

You are uniquely good at posting in your part of the opinion ecosystem. There are plenty of YouTubers who are good at...nothing but being YouTubers.

Sad that we have sunk from being the shining city on a hill to being the global bully telling people to stop resisting authoritarian invaders.
