Guess I'm on a bit of a hair trigger for folks trying to make light of tesla's failings, and your "well, it could have been worse" hit that. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

When The Big Mall in my hometown of Syracuse, NY finally died, it got bought/leased by a car dealership. Which is a brilliant move on their part --- plenty of pre-existing lot space, plus all that massive interior square footage for showroom.

New Oldsmobiles are in early this year.

Pacific Gas & Electric

Municipalize PG&E yesterday. they've caused too many fires, leaks, explosions and other catastrophes (because money was piped to shareholders and CEOs rather than maintenance) to be allowed to continue as a private company. That they want to raise our rates again is adding insult to injury.

The 2017 Tubbs fire (the one that decimated parts of Santa Rosa) was also caused by PG&E power lines. so that's 2 wildfires in as many years, plus the pipeline leaks and explosions in Richmond

There's probably something of a generational (and often regional) gap between people who can remember a time when they had to go out of their way to find the products and services they wanted at an affordable price, and people who, panda-like, found a single supplier and latched onto it for their entire lives to the exclusion of all else and forgot they even had other options.

Tonic water is a sparkling water that, traditionally, containes dissolved quinine. quinine is an anti-malarial. Malaria was a big concern for the British colonizers of India (and other tropical areas we did an imperialism against). as is the British tradition, we "solved" that concern by binge drinking.

I'm sorry you feel that way because as a trans person I do feel like you're saying that trans existence in this thread is the true source of the problem because if we trans people just wouldn't exist in public then no transphobes would ever talk about us and you wouldn't have this problem. Later!

yeah

the solution to "we keep arguing about whether trans people deserve human rights or not" isn't to ban discussion of it, it's for the people who believe trans folk don't deserve human rights to gently caress all the way off, with mod help if they wont do it themselves

ETA: not editing this out, and willing to eat a 6er for this because transphobes don't deserve protection, it's the people that they hurt who deserve protection

private insurers would significantly shrink, but the public/single-payer would grow since it's now serving many more people and needs to build capacity. e.g. for M4A, Medicare would be hiring.

The "Daily Stormer" site exists and is hosted by VanWaTech, who also host 8chan/kun and Q websites. Here's a graphic that shows the IPs assigned to VanWaTech as of October 2020 and the sites to which they resolve:



VanWaTech is owned by a scumbag named Nick Lim. VanWaTech has lost most of their peering options, as companies understandably don't love to do business with hosts for sites like Vanguard America, lolis[dot]xyz, incels[dot]net, maga[dot]host, 8kun, and QArmy[dot]net. The only provider connecting them now, i believe, is a Russian internet company called DDoS-Guard.

(Fun fact: DDoS-Guard also host Hamas' website.)
