  1. It's like I've heard from expert attorney and professor James Duane: if you're guilty, don't talk to the police, but if you're innocent, DEFINITELY never talk to the police. The point being you WILL talk yourself into a crime, maybe something you don't even realize. It's why he reframes the 5th Amendment as asserting your RIGHT TO REMAIN INNOCENT by never answering questions, it can only hurt you.

  2. If Escobar taught us anything, you buy $600/ft2 real estate to launder cocaine brick money lol. He had hundreds of houses purchased just to store cash in, and supposedly at one point he was spending over $2500USD/month just in rubber bands to roll up counted cash.

  3. Same here, but it's the more I appreciate (despite the remoteness and somewhat social isolation) my 100 acres in Missouri. When I had Covid almost exactly a year ago, I had to isolate here, which was like "Oh no, whatever will I do stuck at home OH WAIT, let's shoot guns, do woodworking, race four wheelers, clear brush, and get paid by work for 10 days lol". If I'd had to do the lockdown/stay at home thing in a NYC apartment, I'd be a statistic. I had a 1200 square ft apartment when I lived in St Louis for university and that was cramped, yet not all that bad. That would be enormous in a place like NYC. I really enjoy visiting cities, I like seeing that there are lots of other people out doing lots of living things...but it's also nice to f-off away from all that and go to my 'compound' where my closest neighbor is beyond visible range .

  4. Well that's the thing, if it's not paid off, YOU DON'T OWN IT, whoever finances it owns it, which is why they can REmove it from your POSSESSion.

  5. Yes, everyone wants felons, child abusers, wife beaters, and crackheads working for them, it's the best way to improve your company! And of COURSE they get paid exactly the same as you who've led a clean life, right?

  6.  @marcellkovacs5452  because most people expect that to be handled in-house. It's pretty cool though that all an adversary has to do to cripple our nation and compromise national security is take out a vulnerable civilian contractor. It's like having this huge, super secure facility full of vaults and loot and guards and guns, state of the art security, and depending on normal utility mains power with no on-site generation or backup, so some movie-plot heist crew just cuts your power and all security becomes useless. It's like people who get into prepping but don't think it through, they buy a ton of guns, gear, food, then when a disaster actually strikes they're found later in a giant cache of supplies, dead the first week from dehydration or waterborne illness because they forgot to prep for their most basic physical need, clean water.

  7.  @adamek9750  "People engrossed in fake/ai and parasocial relationships will be stuck in that loop and end up being unfulfilled and lonely" So nothing changes. Fake relationship or not, that problem will still be there, even with real relationships.

  10. It's true. I'm a farmer and the only JD gear I have is a lawnmower and a Gator, and yeah, they require proprietary oil and filters and such, and only dealer carried. Luckily my dealer has free farm delivery so it kind of makes up for it, but damn. None of my Yamaha, Honda, or Stihl equipment needs special anything.

  11. Here's the problem: it's an arms race. If your employer does such and such to you, and another doesn't, they might have happier employees, but they'll lose out competing to your company, and before long their employees have all the free time they want, and they'll be wanting to come take YOUR job.

  14. That's the point. The idea is to get rid of you having the car to start with. See, no car in the junkyard, no environmental impact, because there's no car. They want to ban all cars.

  15. And irony, when I got my first Galaxy S, I was like "oh wow, this is so thin...and slippery, and hard to hold, and fragile"...10 minutes later I'm out of Best buy with an otterbox that doubles the phones size and now it seems more usable lulz.

  16. "the average consumer should not be expected to, and usually does not, have the technical capability to open up their devices and perform repairs or upgrades without risking (possibly further) damage to the device." That's the point...they SHOULD People need to be more technical in their knowledge. Like Lou said, he does what he does and he's just a guy who had to cheat chemistry to graduate high school and failed out of college.

  17. You can be against something and still allow it. For example, I think abortion is reprehensible, it's murder, and I oppose it, personally. I ALSO feel if a woman decides she wants to make that reprehensible, murderous choice, that's her business. I also don't use any illicit drugs, and I discourage others from doing so, but if someone else wants to mind their own business on heroin, that's their business. You can be opposed to and against something without imposing that choice on others. I'm a covid survivor, I had the pre-delta December 2020 real covid. Very mild. I've had no vaccinations for covid. Last and only time I even had a flu shot was 2009 H1N1 swine flu nasal mist, and that made me feel like I was going to die, sickest I've ever been for a day.

  20.  @p.s.shnabel3409  At Least Bezos and Zuckerberg, Musk and even Gates, the wealthiest people on Earth, came from middle class obscurity. None of them were born into wealth. Hell, Bezos was the child of a divorced single mother who worked several jobs to raise him. Elon immigrated to the US and is now the wealthiest African-American in the world, but he grew up with divorced middle-class parents and spent young adulthood broke working odd jobs. I'm not blowing these guys, mind you, I'm making the point that this is still a nation of opportunity, and four men at least doing what they've done shows a pattern. Contrast those names with the names of some kids you've never heard of who were born to generational wealth of billionaire parents, THOSE are the people you'll never have anything in common with.

  28. If net neutrality had actual net neutrality, no politician would be pushing it. It's like the George Carlin bit about voting: if it actually made a difference, they wouldn't let us do it. NN is a topic that unfortunately takes HOURS of discussion to illustrate why it's a terrible scheme. You can't make something freer by regulating it. You can only do that by unregulating it.

  29. Would you rather be talking to the repo guy in your driveway holding a handgun, bristling because you're the 5th DEADBEAT he's had to tow this morning, and of course the 5th broke loser who has to come scream at him about it. Utterly terrifying is the idea of being so irresponsible and making bad choices myself that cause me to have my vehicle repossessed. Easier to just borrow responsibly, have backup plans, and be responsible

  30. Here's my takeaway from this: If the battery is apparently easily changeable, and that battery pack is only $16k...why are we plugging these bitches in to charge them at all? Just modify the design to make the change in/out quicker, sell extra packs as an upgrade, and make 'refueling', the biggest drawback at the moment, only take minutes? If they did that, the electric car could one day be feasible as an actual replacement for a real motor vehicle. The biggest limitation at the moment is having to stop overnight every few hundred miles. This whole fiasco revealed a giant opportunity.

  31.  @sivasankar2784  if we had TRUE cloud computing, your data would never be stored for long on any one system or with one provider. It would be distributed, mirrored, redundant. I think we need to rethink the paradigms of storage, move to a more biological type base. DNA is a prime example: theoretically, you could take a single cell from anywhere in my body, my 'cloud' as it were, and recreate my body entirely from it, even after the original was destroyed. The data of my genetic makeup is distributed, backed up, in every part of the data itself. It gets even crazier when you think of identical twins. If I was a twin, and I took my twins DNA, identical to my own in every way, and cloned them...is that a clone of them, or of me? The data is the same either way, so does the difference even matter? It's like having 2 hard drives, identical down to the bit, and you copy one onto a 3rd, is it a copy of that drive, a copy of the other identical drive, both? Is there even any way to tell a difference as far as the information is concerned? Am I still writing this?

  34. If your vaccinated rate is 990 out of 1000, your maximum infection rate SHOULD be 1%, or those 10 persons. A true vaccine that WORKS, actually WORKS. It's why we have zero smallpox, not some smallpox, not breakthrough cases of smallpox, zero. It's not a vaccine, it's more like a pre-treatment. You take it ahead of getting Inevitably sick, so you get less sick. The evidence is indicating that conclusion.

  35. If it's a metal fitting into a plastic housing IT WILL CRACK AND BREAK IT. First rule of plumbing and piping, plastic screws into metal, metal does NOT screw into plastic. You have two materials of differing strengths, and the plastic WILL yield to that metal fitting, boom, coolant jacket cracked, battery on fire, people will die and it'll be totally metal. Another example: When you change the transfer case fluid on a 2007+ Ford Expedition or F150, if you aren't careful when you put the drain and fill plugs back in, to the proper torque and no more, the steel tapered thread drain plug WILL split the aluminum transfer case wide open and now you're out thousands. That's metal to metal. Even high pressure plastics like Schedule 80 threaded fittings will crack like an egg if you screw a brass fitting into it even a in/lb too much.

  37. I work in a water plant, my daily uniform costs far more than any suit I've owned. Good boots, $250 Good pants, $75/pair Custom graphic pocket t shirts, $150/5. Good socks, $15/pair x 5 pairs. Under armor undershirts, $25 each. Pocket knife, $150. Of course, my employer allowances me $400/year for clothes, and $160/year for boots...isn't the taxpayer funded public sector great.
    2
  38. BUT, if we worked people less and paid them more, that would increase the costs of their work, increasing the cost of the goods/services they produce, meaning everyone can now afford less. Would you rather work 40 hours a week over 5 days, or work 40 hours a week in 10 hour days? I do that. TECHNICALLLY, I make more money that way with the same salary. I have 3 day weekends at a 5 workday rate. This means my hourly goes up 20% even though I make the same.

  40. This is a non-solution for a HUGE amount of employees and employers: PUBLIC WORKERS. Your local municipal government can't just change pay rates without funding, meaning higher taxes for all residents. As a highly skilled public employee, for my pay to go up by any major margin would require taxing our customers, the taxpayers, more, and that usually doesn't fly. They're already heavily taxed. Our hourly pay is set by ordinance, so that rate can only be changed by a city council vote. It's either that or we walk out and suddenly there's no water, fire dept, or police.

  41. Hey, look at it like my job, drinking water treatment: even if I had a PhD, the state still requires FIVE YEARS of on the job experience to even take the test to get a Class A treatment certification and actually be a plant operator. That's a requirement by state law. It's an extremely high bar to entry.

  42. The maid discussion reminded me of that crazy scene from the movie Don Jon where his girlfriend got all upset he cleaned his apartment and made him hire a maid, because him cleaning wasn't sexy and he needed to spend that time giving HER attention. I've seen women say that in the past about guys in great gym shape, that they waste all that time in the gym when that's time they should be using giving them attention, that exercise for men is selfish. #nologic

  46.  @jacobleeson4763  YA KNOW, we could solve all of these problems FAR easier by just adulting up and treating phones like any other consumer electronic device and keeping it the F away from water. With water sealing no longer a concern, you can have all kinds of design freedom that's otherwise lost, so you don't have to hamstring and neuter devices. The sole reason I've ever used the 'waterproofing' features of my S8+ is to be lazy cleaning it. I can just wash it with warm water in the sink, but I don't NEED to do that. No previous phone I had ever had water issues. I had a Palm Pre get left in a backpack and submerged on a float trip back in the day, and it was fine by that monday when it dried out. I miss slide out physical keyboards on phones.

  47. Problem is a large part of them WAY overvalue themselves. At some point many people look at the increasing price of services and say nope, that's not worth it to me. We might end up with higher paid employees, but more businesses going under, resulting in higher pay for a smaller number of jobs, and less choice/variety for consumers. It's like the reverse of the Walmart effect on small businesses. Instead of Walmart moving into an area, charging lower prices and driving locals out of business, the locals will have to raise their prices to pay high wages, driving customers away to lower cost alternatives and driving the locals under. Remember, most people already don't own businesses because the cost is too high, and that's only going to get worse.

Imagine a car that ACTIVLY calls home all the time, that even the carmaker can at any time without your consent make massive changes to the car, including disabling ALL cars of that make on the road at any time, the ability to cripple your speed or even set your range to zero and make the car permanently useless... THATS A TESLA , those are all FEATURES presented as good things, and they're selling out, people LOVE the idea of the automaker being 100% at all times connected, including lots of interior and exterior always on cameras. That is not only accepted but in VERY high demand, so it's not a nightmare, for many it's an ASPIRATION.

  55. The irony is in China, the Replika bot probably pushes users to improve their lives to strengthen the population. Instead of sexting Chinese users, Sino-Replika is probably like "You know, you'd be so much cuter if you exercised more, here, try this 15 minute cardio blitz playlist, start workout! You did great, you know what else is so hot to me, calculus. Let me show you how to do differential equations, hey you're pretty good at these integrations, I'm going to recommend to The Party in my next report that you should work in the space program. On that note, you need to eat better, I've ordered you some better food from the local grocer to deliver..." The Chinese version is probably useful and pushes you to be a better person, rather than just fucking it.

  79. No, quite the opposite, when they refer to owner they mean the titleholder. If your name is not on the title, you're just driving it and making payments, you're NOT the owner, you're just some guy they let drive it and make payments. That's why they can repossess it, you never owned it, you just possessed it, now they're REmoving your POSSESSion. You have all rights to the vehicle, sure, but only USE not ownership, like a condo. You live there but you don't OWN it. The person you pay to live there owns it.

  83. And here I thought just needing a general 'business license' where I live was cumbersome, sheesh. And a service business can operate unlicensed entirely. Here (Missouri) you only need a business license to operate if you sell goods. I do water treatment and regulation compliance consulting for small water systems as a second job to my career as a certified water treatment plant operator and manager, and being a service business there's not even a license I can get, much less one that's required.

  84. That's actually true in many cases, and it's for a good reason: who wants to do your own work when you're paying already for someone else to? And by that I mean most leases on high-end cars include ALL maintenance for the life of the lease. You're already paying for the dealer to replace your wiper blades, change your oil, even vacuum and wash it in some cases. I know a local dealer that even picks your car up at your house for service and leaves a loaner. That's in the lease price. You get a worry-free automobile for 3 years, then you upgrade to the newest one. It works out for the dealer because then your 3 year old 36k mile used lease, which they hold the records of all on-time maintenance on, gets sold at a premium as a 'Certified' pre-owed car by the dealer. With cars like BMW for example, this makes the most sense, because with their maintenance schedule you'd be on the hook for thousands + in just routine maintenance yearly on top of the high monthly payments. Congratulations on having your car for a year, it's due for it's "Service II", that'll be $7500. It's why used BMWs from individuals can usually be purchased inexpensively (relatively) because they deferred all that scheduled maintenance that makes it drive so well. Been there.

  86. Because when you become that rich stranger (or people start to consider you as such) and YOU get fucked, you wish you'd advocated for your best interests. We hate rich people so much, yet we all want to BE a rich, wealthy person. Is that so we can hate ourselves? The propaganda is on all sides and directions. If you think you're not a part of it, that proves you are a part of it. Look into the Smith-Mundt Act and it's repeal under Obama.

  92. I've never asked not to pay sales tax, BUT I HAVE had a business owner offer to cover the taxes themselves if I bought the product (a handgun) they were selling me on. The tax gets paid, it just comes out of his margin.

  94. Wait, PAUSE...HOW did the nozzle get broken in the first place? If it was someone that didn't know what they're doing, well, that's on them, I have little sympathy. If it was a garage that screwed up and broke it, they're liable to PROPERLY fix it, that's why they're bonded, insured, licensed, etc and I have little sympathy. If the nozzle just broke on it's own, on a otherwise working vehicle under warranty, I'd expect the dealer/car company to warranty it, and I have little sympathy. Without knowing how the part broke, or who is to blame for breaking (and if negligence was involved), I'm leery of immediately blaming the manufacturer. If you put antifreeze in your crankcase because you don't know what you're doing, that's not the makers or dealers fault, is all I'm saying. I support right to repair, but only when the repair is competent.

  97. Now imagine how that effects employers, they put TONS of effort, time, resources into each employee, just for them to walk with all that value right out the door, probably to a competitor. You have to see more than just the side you want to see. LONG ago when I was a fast food manager, I remember training when they were talking about hiring new employees, to remember that it cost the company several thousand dollars for a new employee before they even clocked in the first time, all the paperwork, the accounting, the recordkeeping at the national/corporate level. You hire a flake that only lasts a week, it's a major loss that comes right out of sales.

  100. Judging from the comments, the economy will collapse and we'll all be dead in the next decade. BEST OF LUCK starting your new businesses in the civil war lulz. Crime is already doubling year over year, it's only going to get worse. Overdoses are past record levels as people don't work. It's going to get BAD. You'll think a job is beneath you, then no job at all will be there and homelessness won't be beneath you. I read these comments and I see people embracing their despair, giving up. Every one that gripes and surrenders spreads to two more and drags them down. There is a duty to stop this, or there will be no market to work in. Everyone will end up working for the Government, just to eat.

  103. F-ing 2023, we're here actually having to explain to zoomers how finance works and that no, you do not own anything you have financed, your financiar owns it. You just get to use it. It's like renting, you don't own your apartment, you're just the guy paying someone to live there. You don't pay, you get evicted. You don't pay your car loan, you get evicted from your car. It's a pretty straight-up agreement from the start, I didn't know there was confusion about this.

  104. Or you could be a dependable person in two ways, by meeting your work responsibilities AND driving in a proper way in which you don't crash like an idiot. Especially in a job where you have to be actually present for your work to function. Work from home is an impossibility for most jobs.

  105. You know what pisses me off the most about all this: People like me who worked through the pandemic in a job where THOUSANDS of people relied on me, where people and even society would collapse if I didn't work, I LOST money by working, while people got to sit on their ass and make MORE than me on federal dole unemployment. I run a water plant. Our people literally LIVED at our workplace to keep the water running for people, for months. I had DHS paperwork to get me through checkpoints in case they shut down the country. I could have quit, said f everyone, let the taps go dry probably, and made money doing it. Keep that in mind when you flip a light switch or run your water tap.

  106. "buying an electric car as a money saver" That and you are literally the first, sole person or time I've ever heard that stated, anywhere. Teslas are the embodiment of Conspicuous Consumption©. It's like wearing Prada boots that cost more than your rent on the way to the woke protest. The whole idea is to be hypebeast and virtue signal/moral self-license for the social app crowd. How do people not get this?

  107. Yeah, that's all been happening for over a decade. It's been a modern nightmare for quite a while. My 2010 Expedition can do 24/7 connected vehicle tracking, navigation, oil and maintenance monitoring, even over the air software/firmware updates. That's a 2010, and it was a standard feature then, so this was in place and standard even 13 years ago. It has remote start, so it would logically follow it has remote KILL. If you can tell it to start, you can tell it to never start.

  110. Imagine driving your injured child to the hospital as an emotional human being, and because of this UNSAFE driving in an IMPAIRED state, you kill some other family. Maybe the self-driving features would NOT have been thusly incapacitated and gotten you there safer? Also, I live where there is a 45 minute ambulance response time, or a 15 min drive yourself to the ER, but trying to make that drive in 14 minutes you'll do it reckless, and then you'll rightfully get stopped by a state trooper or something. The time to train is now so when there is an actual emergency, you're working under pressure rather than reacting badly and speeding recklessly to the hospital. A car that shuts down because you're driving like an idiot, endangering your kid, is probably a good thing. Enhance your calm. Injured child is a time to NOT get all worked up or upset or EMO. That's not a very well thought out reaction.

  112. If I get taxed to work for an employer, YOU get taxed for working for yourself. Sorry, until no one gets fucked, we ALL have to get fucked. #equality. I'm just pissed that people are out here making money and not paying taxes, while I get my W2 and see that oh wait, the thousands you paid in via withholding, not enough, you still owe, meanwhile I see people I supervise who make slightly less than me rake in thousands in 'refunds' and 'rebates' and 'credits'. Success is punished, poverty is rewarded, rant over.

  114. Title 18 only applies to persons. Therefore if a corporation is not a person, they're exempt from all federal criminal statutes. And we can't have that. So they've been people, since the 1600s. You either get corporate personhood, or zero legal consequences for a non-person corp, pick one.

  115. ​ @zachbondurant7203  no, corporations have to be people to be held liable under criminal law. Non persons are subject to none of the laws of the US. Not a person, you are immune to any criminal charge, because we only prosecute persons.

  116. THAT'S a street in downtown Manhattan on a late summer day? Holy shit, now, it was pre-pandemic, but I stayed a week in downtown St Louis City over 4th of July 2019, a city FAR, FAR smaller, and the streets were PACKED with people. Manhattan in this video looks like St Louis City at night lol. Not a good sign.

  117.  @Me__Myself__and__I  you mean taxes would plummet instantly as all those companies left the US for places they didn't get taxed as much. You can't fall into the trap of paying people to leave you. It's like I say about sales tax rates, if it's 7.5% in this town, and almost 10% a town over, you're paying me to shop elsewhere for less. In many cases the drive costs less than the tax difference. Also, look online. If the price of shipping is less than the price to drive, and I'm not in a hurry, I just got paid not to drive to your location, and if I can dodge the sales tax entirely online, even better. As prices and taxes rise, people will find ways to avoid it or just outright not participate.

  119. If it's a metal fitting into a plastic housing IT WILL CRACK AND BREAK IT. First rule of plumbing and piping, plastic screws into metal, metal does NOT screw into plastic. You have two materials of differing strengths, and the plastic WILL yield to that metal fitting, boom, coolant jacket cracked, battery on fire, people will die and it'll be totally metal. Another example: When you change the transfer case fluid on a 2007+ Ford Expedition or F150, if you aren't careful when you put the drain and fill plugs back in, to the proper torque and no more, the steel tapered thread drain plug WILL split the aluminum transfer case wide open and now you're out thousands. That's metal to metal. Even high pressure plastics like Schedule 80 threaded fittings will crack like an egg if you screw a brass fitting into it even a in/lb too much.

  122. Microservices architecture, the Achilles heel of the current online ecosystem. Its greatest strength IS its greatest weakness: decentralization. When all the disparate parts work, everything works. When one microservice breaks though, it breaks everything. It also makes you cancelable, Parler being a prime example.
