I’m curious how long they can sustain this as it’s probably a lot like WWII when the US commandeered a bunch of factories for the wartime effort. This isn’t sustainable long term as those factories need to produce regular goods for the country as well plus I don’t know how well the Russian people support the war so they may not have the same ‘spirit’ to win the war as we did here back in the '40s.

Rockauto if I can wait a week otherwise it’s the local Autozone/O’Reilly. Rockauto prices are way better and the selection of parts (including quality stuff) is so much better.

I still somewhat cling to this same belief although I think it’s a futile effort as you’re not just competing against randos online, but networks of bots, disinformation campaigns, state actors, and an army of gullible individuals who parrot their rhetoric. You just can’t compete against that as a single person.

Definitely this. I’ve been on the receiving end of this and it’s awkward especially if they want to see you using it. Even if they don’t you’ll feel guilty for wanting to get rid if the clutter that you won’t be using anyway.

It could be the specific audio or video codecs of those files causing the stuttering issues. I’ve always seemed to have trouble with EAC3 audio even after 6 or 7 years and a multitude of updates and different hardware.

The type of person to call women “females” is not the type of person that women associate with.

Southwest Washington, north of Vancouver and south of Tacoma. You might as well be in Alabama in these parts. This is where a lot of the Proud Boys come from.

The disadvantage seems to be that these transistors can only control very tiny currents. They currently lack enough ass to control much else.

Not familiar with this particular paper but transistors are good at acting as switches for higher powered loads so I wonder if these ultra tiny ones can be used to power on slightly less tiny versions which can handle larger circuits.

You ever feel like everyone in the world is taking crazy pills except for you?

Agricultural land isn’t cheap either which is why most farms are owned by massive corporations these days. They’ve bought up most of the good growing land.

They will with batteries since the EU is forcing the issue starting in 2026.

Literally the first line says the Biden Administration is giving them $825 million.

I imagine this is like Best Buy selling something for $700 when you can buy it online for $500 and reporters pointing to poor BB sales and saying: “See! Nobody wants this product!”

Maybe Doug Ford the famous meth smoking politician from Canada or his brother Rob (or vice versa?)?

If you do that, how will you stay up to date on my 172-part saga on various animal musk scents that I’ve recently smelled in my neighborhood?

“Possibility” but not an “actuality” since share prices are typically based on the feelings of major investors and not necessarily what’s actually happening within a company.

Only $162,000 per room yearly or $13,700 per month. What a bargain! Looks like their math is off though. At $352 per night x 14k rooms, they’re about $500 million short of $2.3B but maybe that’s bribery money that isn’t counted toward housing these people.

I think they’re talking about the new Hummer EV.

I think those substitutions are picked by the person filling your order. We got a hilarious substitution from Walmart once. My wife ordered a bottle of thyme or oregano or something similar. They were out of stock so the worker went to the garden center and substituted it with a fucking potted plant of thyme or oregano. We both laughed our asses off at their choice but it wasn’t what we needed.
