Jet fuel does not contain lead and never did. Most commercial prop planes and helicopters are turbine engines, and use jet fuel.

It’s only the tiny percentage of “general aviation” flights for personal or hobbyist use that are stuck on a gas, most of them because they are decades old and no longer have a manufacturer who can update them

You mean you didn’t get to ride Epstein’s personal jet out to his private island ?

Wishful thinking, this is just encoding a way for trumpists to have personal control over charities. Really the wording looks targeted at colleges who allowed protests against the Gaza atrocities

would give the Secretary of the Treasury the power to strip a nonprofit’s tax-exempt status on the suspicion of giving or receiving any backing from a ‘terrorist supporting’ group or person—as defined by the White House.

I settled on a mid sized suv as the compromise. Seating for four, and I have a family of four. Big enough to go with traffic but small enough to be reasonably efficient. Big enough to carry a lot but small enough to fit in narrow lanes and parking spots

This is such a fundamental change to get used to - some branches of government have been a meritocracy my entire life, doing their best to do the right thing, being careful to heed the best scientific advice, that my immediate reaction is to trust them. Then I remember we’re living in a time where the only qualification is personal loyalty and this particular circus is run by a clown

from the $160 billion DOGE had claimed to save the federal government, some additional $130 billion would need to be spent

We’re all like a frightened turtle with this shrinkage

ln general book burning is symbolic since books are relatively cheap and plentiful.

Holy fuck, I read the article and he really is trying to claim that. Replace a factory full of jobs with one or two robot techs, and “everyone” can get such a job? Does he not math?

Hurt low income people, mortgage our future, sell off national assets to enrich oligarchs, personal enrichment. Yep, that’s about the speed for DODE

Well, I just got back from swimming in the pool, and the water was cold.

It’s usually not that messed up, but yes, some restaurants do delivery through DoorDash/Uber. I’ve had that happen at multiple places: get excited that a restaurant offers delivery but then cancel when I find out it’s uber eats.

Sandwich is rectangle, sub is elongated

You’re being too pedantic. We clearly have cars that do a lot of their own driving, we clearly have people (multiple) making claims, and we clearly have at least one company piloting self-driving taxis. Let’s consider our ethics before it’s too late

In 2020 we didn’t have to do anything about it. It was just another set of online nutcases, no one who could get elected would actually try that.

2025: hold my beer

Is that a word anyone uses? While I had no idea it was considered a slur, I also don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone use it.

If it involves moving to a device that has a keyboard, you’ve lost me

Gimme a “C”

Elon claims Tesla is already past that point. I’ll accept a much larger approximation that several manufacturers are past or near that point. Even if you’re skeptical of the claim, it’s clearly close enough to be concerned about.
