The pressure of the water against the door would’ve prevented her from opening it regardless of the door’s mechanical features or power supply issues.
The windows not shattering is absolutely a Tesla design flaw, but there’s no way that woman was ever going to open a door from inside a submerged car.
It’s funny how recognizing the legitimacy of the world court would just instantly remove one of the world’s biggest problems.
I remember saying this about George W twenty years ago.
difficult to pin down what they really want
They want to vote for Trump and not have to tell anyone they did. It’s why Trump won in 2016 despite the polling.
They’re saying there was no measurable change in their lives driven by political leadership in the last 16 years? They’re arguing in bad faith.
This is not a joke, they believe this.
Except for the 78% of Conservatives in support of IVF. This article is literally about Republican lawmakers scrambling because everyone is in favor of IVF.
if your goal as a parent is to maximize success of your children.
“Success” is very subjective.
I have a problem if I owe the bank a thousand dollars. The bank has a problem if I owe them a million dollars.
Ah, the Andrew Cuomo gambit. I’m familiar.
I agree that it’s got to be how young Lemmy skews. No one who has ever bought alcohol at a self-checkout has said, “This is so quick and convenient!”
3/5 of a vote. They are only people when it adds political power.
I wish I’d bought a new washer/dryer before he pissed off China with that pointless trade war. Prices doubled overnight and have not come back down.
It’s classic Two Santas from the Republicans again.
In your opinion, who is worse?
I have been saying this for years. The Senate is supposed to be where small states get an outsized voice, but by freezing the size of the House, small states have been getting an outsized voice in both houses on Congress and they’ve been getting a disproportionately high number of electors in the Electoral College.
Based on the 2020 census, Wyoming is the least populous state at 576,851 people. If that were used as the smallest number of people that could be in a district, the US’s total population of 335,073,176 would be divided into 580 congressional districts. Over a third of the population is being underrepresented because the House hasn’t added seats in almost 100 years.
For the last 40 years or so, Republican voters have mostly been single-issue voters. They care very passionately about one thing, and will let almost anything else slide as a result. Being in favor of cable fees doesn’t matter as long as they’re anti-abortion. Being in favor of cutting social welfare programs that those very voters rely upon is fine as long as they’re anti-trans.
For the most part, each voter only cares about one or two specific things, and the whole picture doesn’t really matter to them.
That’s a bad take. The case actually affirmed business judgement rule: the idea that the guy running the company knows how to run it better than the shareholders. It’s part of why post-war America is considered the golden age of American manufacturing: Publicly traded companies invested in their employees and wages exploded across the board. A 100 year old court decision isn’t the primary driver on a problem that’s really only developed in the last forty or fifty years.
My BIL is a Catholic Libertarian. Almost forty and still lives with Mom and Dad, so he never had the brush with reality that your friend went through. He thinks he’s politically savvy and always wants “civil debate” with me, but he’s utterly insufferable.
I’m not looking forward to Thanksgiving next week.
Future Me has more experience and wisdom than Present Me. There’s no reason I should do anything when such a better-suited candidate will inevitably emerge.
I’d love to, but the text fades out after the first paragraph and is replaced with “This post is for members only.”
That’s why the move is to edit all of your comments into jumbled nonsense and then delete them.
