  • She's doing the teabag movement to show she's friendly

  • I wrote my representative and advocated for lifting the trade embargo and this is what they sent back:

    As your Member of Congress, I am opposed to lifting the embargo. Cuba continues to be under control of a communist regime which suppresses any advancement toward a free and open society. In addition to not providing basic goods and services for its citizens, the Cuban government routinely restricts civil liberties and engages in significant human rights abuses. Specific information can be found by reading the State Department's 2022 human rights report on Cuba. Cuba continues to undermine the interests of the United States, and most recently a Cuban spy was found to have infiltrated high levels of the U.S. government.

  • Whenever you see a driver following too closely or driving erratically try to get away from them, change lanes, let them pass, whatever. Also try not to drive next to other cars. Stagger positions so if they have to serve into your lane they won't hit you. Last tip is don't drive in people's blind spot when they are in the next lane. Pull ahead of them or let them get in front of you

  • Wine would provide enough hydration to prevent you from dying of thirst.

    Source On a desert island, would it be better to drink wine or go thirsty? - BBC Science Focus Magazine https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/on-a-desert-island-would-it-be-better-to-drink-wine-or-go-thirsty

    "For the 13 per cent alcohol content of most wines, that equilibrium point would still leave you badly dehydrated (not to mention hopelessly drunk), but it should prevent you from dying of thirst"

    Very similar situation to the news story we're commenting on.

  • Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen!

  • Real ID driver's licenses seem to be a form of federal ID even though they are issued by states. It's interesting how most people agree that lack of federal ID is a problem but they don't want the government to track everybody. The gov is looking at Palantir to create a database of U.S. people and maybe it's not popular because Palantir is kind of shady and right wing or maybe people just don't want to be tracked.

  • Wine will hydrate you.

  • Three to four days is the longest you can survive without water before you die. So he probably would have been dead or close to death without the wine.

  • This Yamaha receiver https://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio_visual/hifi_components/a-s801/features.html#product-tabs

    And Ascend Acustics CBM170 https://www.ascendacoustics.com/products/cbm-170se-bookshelf-monitor-single?variant=40047176843318 These are bookshelf speakers but aren't tiny, sacrifice a couple of inches of space for the better sound. These out perform $1000 speakers.

    And a subwoofer, but I can't make a recommendation

    Or if you want best sound for less $ a larger JBL like the boombox or partybox 310

  • You can use a shotgun loaded only with rock salt even when deadly force is warranted. You can also not use a gun at all in situations that would allow deadly force. Not everybody wants to kill someone.

  • Rail only goes where the infrastructure is built out. Heavy deliveries and cargo need some method of completing the last leg of the route, even if there is a rail line nearby. How is a train an alternative to a vehicle that can drive down a dirt road? You just have millions of trains running everywhere all the time even when the routes are rarely used?

    Last time I had a discussion like this people were saying we didn't need trucks, that we can just use fleets of cargo bicycles.

  • When I thought about buying a shotgun I looked into rock salt and other non lethal ammo, it turns out it's illegal to load shells with rock salt. Hard to believe

  • About 3700 people die every day in motor vehicle crashes. 1.35 million per year.

    Why wouldn't you allow a safer alternative to human operators?

  • It's called the Affordable Care Act. Obamacare is a term invented to taint people's perception.

  • She has a home, she's supposed to "occupy" it but she rented it out. Her lawyer says that federal guidelines don't define occupancy. The difference between her occupying and not occupying is only $800 one time gain.

  • I'm not sure this is legal because if a man and a woman both like men and you only surveil the man who likes men, then you are selecting him for surveillance because of his sex which is a protected class

  • It's weird that AI can't do things that computers are so good at.

  • Hunt Showdown or Evolve
