They should be added last, so that we don't cripple them while they do a fantastic job looting MAGA houses.

I really hope someone hacks into the ICE database and send them kick down Trumpists doors.

Except most modern cars have turbo and direct injections and are very sensitive to gas/diesel quality. Even your diesel car will break down on an aged diesel. If the tank is not full, it will have degraded in contact with air, and if it stayed too long, it may have absorbed too much humidity and will ruin your advanced diesel engine.

At this point, I wish the ICE site to be hacked and prominent Rebublicans to be put on "the list".

Really? Do you realize how many people we're talking about? This is where the idea that the human brain can't comprehend interactions with too many people.

"Multiple indepondant people" might be 5% of the people, some of them under the mob's effect (wouldn't engage alone).

Maybe we miss another point of view, but maybe we don't. This may be a screaming example of what you get as a representative of minorities getting a bit of attention.

No, initial reaction would probably be that "you're wrong", and the importer is trying to stiff him and/or is a Biden's supporter trying to make Trump look bad or some other shit. After some time, he might come around, but the principle of a cult is no matter what fact and evidence you provide, they will dismiss them and refuse to change their minds.

"Friends": people who agree with whatever you say and laugh at you after the call?

And that will come, but unfortunately not before he turned the country into a fascist state with no more balance of power. At that time, oligarchs will have their useful idiot removed and replaced by a real puppet that will be granted absolute power.

So next time it will be fucked up all the same, but using X private messages instead of Signal.

That should do!

Yes, you'll have these weapons, but you'll be facing a drunk moose.

Nemesis Lockdown

We had played Nemesis before, this was our first shot at LD. 5 players, and we had a blast!

Some co-op move, some sketchy moves: a base self-destruction cancelled at the last minute, an assassination attempt that failed and miserably backfired, a well executed plan ruined by the contingency.

It was epic and awesome!

Compared to the original Nemesis, since there is no destination and no engine status to check, the dynamic is a bit different: all players move around focused on their personal goals without raising so much suspicion. The light system adds a bit of tension and more opportunities to play tricks on the other players.

Definitely deserves the praises it received. I can't wait to play it again!

Statistics tell me there is a relation between healthcare and life expectation.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/life-expectancy-vs-health-expenditure

Note the US is the outlier here: that's the only country in the world with significant spending and no universal healthcare system (only 10 countries in the world don't have one). And even with that, medical debt is still the first cause of bankrupcy.

If you slash medicaid, you go to the left of that chart, but you also go down. That's a political choice, really.

Fortunately, enough institutions were torn apart that soon the US will also be the exception for being unable to provide numbers for the years to come.

"Yeah but science can be proven wrong an change over time, while my beliefs and biases are forever!"

Don't worry: the law will be very carefully crafted so that it will be legal only if they do it, not us.

For the dishes: I don't know the details of the 2 systems, but is there no way to retrofit the Starlink dishes to use Eutelsat's constellation? I mean if we exclude the legal IP mess for reverse-engineering the electronics and software.

Summary: China is not a friend country. It's a hostile country. Yes, we know.

But the news is... so is the USA to Canada now. A hostile country threatening to annex Canada and trying to cripple the economy as a way to achieve the goal. So either we slap 100% tariffs on US made cars, which would hurt Canadians, or we apply the same tariffs on Chinese cars, so reduce them from where they are at the moment.

Yes, but Canada had implemented 100% tariff on cars from China, following the US. That's pre-trade war. The proposal is to lift that one.

Because that's not about privacy, that's about the trade war. Retaliatory tariffs on US cars increase cost of cars for Canadians, as there are almost no car assembled in Canada. Reducing or eliminating tariffs on cars from China would lower cost of new cars for Canadians while keeping the tariffs up.

For privacy and security, not a single new car on the market is decent right now. That should be regulated, but that's no concern for any politician at the moment.

Or more likely half way through the window, except if you're really really slim!

Joke was on them: no one in France call them "french" fries anyway. So no one cared when they were re-labelled in the US.

They were invented in Belgium...
