…It’s already captioned.

Hey, at least the taxes for the manufacturers were lower because they doubled the size of the vehicle (which drastically reduced the required emission standards due to the unique way the U.S. emissions laws are written).

It’s worth $600 because of the legendary Jeep reliability /s

Sure, but that required you to literally uproot your entire life and move to a densely populated city where everything else is more expensive.

Only if you’re stupid and get a massive new car. If you get a small cheap used car, it’ll save you a ton of time and money, especially in Canada and the US where public transit isn’t all that great.

Nah, still counts. A Boomer is just anybody older than you whom you disagree with.

The worse energy efficiency is annoying, but the added cost of electricity is absolutely nothing compared to the cost of buying a new fridge every 5 years.

The uneven airflow/cooling is manageable, since it’s usually fairly minor.

As for the CFCs, that only matters if it leaks, and the fridge wouldn’t have lasted 50 years if it leaked.

Maybe the budget was planned out before RAM prices spiked. 128 gigs of used server RAM was not that expensive before that happened.

I was thinking this was future planning for the other direction. While actually having a permanent colony of civilians on the moon is unrealistic, having a layover/fueling station on the moon that will have a small population of researchers, engineers, etc. is actually pretty feasible, and any mass sent up there will still be expensive. Shipping seeds is significantly cheaper than shipping food, and dirt is heavy, so you want to ship as little of it as possible. If it’s possible to grow stuff in lunar soil, that drastically decreases the amount of mass that needs to be sent.

Hasn’t Apple been soldering everything to the motherboard for ages now?

Unfortunately, I’m not surprised in the least.

During his first term, he wasn’t nearly as unhinged as he was during this term, because he was still building his cult, which he continued doing after he lost the 2020 election. With the 2024 election, virtually everything lined up in his favor. The Democratic candidate was somebody who had not even been in the primaries, the size of his cult was at an all-time high, and the political division was even further increased from 2016. Even with all that in his favor, he still didn’t show his most unhinged ideas until after the election.

Anybody with a reasonable amount of intelligence would obviously have voted against him, but forward thinking doesn’t seem to be a common trait these days.

What would the legality be of listening to people’s phone calls if they are connecting to your personal home network without your permission to make them?

You never know. The car wash may be out of order and you might need to wash your car by hand.

It’d be interesting to see the cost efficiency of that versus traditional wind turbines over the expected lifespan of both.

To be fair, Telnet was already mostly dead in 2015.

Relevant XKCD

I still think the best ones are the ones that aim for one side of the scale, but end up on the other while still being good movies.

They’re also much less likely to delete your games.
