Even old regularly easy repair work in early mid 2000s vehicles is getting worse because replacement parts quality has dropped off a cliff.

I regularly have to replace the same part 2, 3 times IMMEDIATELY OUT OF THE BOX because they’re defective or barely remanufactured (brake calipers are almost a complete crap shoot and new copies are harder and harder to buy, and if they arec can be up to 10x the price).

It had to be shot in one take. The overlays are all in real time and keyed out using a Z-channel, which was brand new technology at the time. (At least used this way).

Ha, same reason for me, but my son likes less annoying music.

1. Vampire Weekend - Sunflower (feat. Steve Lacey). It’s his shower time song.
2. Ok Go - a bunch of their Videos are a staple of winding down before bed too. I’m not a big fan of their music, but the videos are pretty well done, they’re basically a video art collective that makes generic indie rock soundtracks at this point. Which is perfectly cromulent.

Anything from The Work of Directors DVDs are great, Michel, Cunningham, Spike Jones, Anton Corbjin, Mark Romanek, etc.

Same but his video for Kylie Minogue - Come into my world

It’s your job to pay a lawyer to use any evidence for you. Public defenders don’t have time.

Whole neighborhoods were built during the housing bubble that had contaminated drywall (gypsum board) with sulfate VOCs that had to be gutted or torn down completely.

GPS was planned out and deployed over 20 years (from proposal to operational).

It was also designed and worked for its intended purpose with only 24 satellites.

Block III gps satellites are designed to last 15 years and there are 10 of them.

Starlink is disposable chains of 1,000s of satellites that will be constantly burning up in the atmosphere and replaced at huge costs, including co2 from the launches.

Unless you want to separate starlink from spacex it’s kinda the other way around.

I think spacex was adding starlink deployment to all their rockets and their “plan” was to launch other satellites and nasa projects, then get the starlink stuff up there for less.

Says company that fucking partnered with Palantir.

Could also be that they’re collecting the cooking oil for another use or vehicle and just put the hose down there as a gag.

If she’s actually a mom I feel bad for her kids. Not as bad as I feel for Charlie Kirk’s kids, but still pretty bad.

And blame the LLMs for all mistakes it makes. Since the management clearly cares more about it than the employees.

Nah this country ain’t worth it.

And that enough other stupid shitheads can put them in power when a couple billionaires decide it will help their number go up.

I’ll believe it’s not $40k when they actually sell them.

It’s now “under $30k” since the tax break was nixed by Trump.

All Ponzi schemes look profitable until they run out of fresh rubes.

If this ever passed, I bet we’d see a pretty quick devaluation in these things.

Seems like the community most likely to build tools like that would pot for something more plug shaped.

There’s also St Patrick’s for Irish, and some Italian festivals, lgbtq parades, police parades (actually I think that overlaps with St Patrick’s).

When you live in tiny apartments, almost any excuse to be outside is welcome.
