They endlessly tooted their horn about their diversity and fully remote operations. So this is pretty rich.

“This isn’t cost cutting” Oh, fuck off. This is trimming the fat before they try to look for a buyer again.

Not really. He’s milking the petrodollar pump and dump every damn Friday. But that’s drying up so he’s pivoting to Cuba.

no shit. If Honda’s pres said that last month with as conservative as they are as far as risk, well. Send all the CEOs and bigwigs there so they can see for themselves too i guess.

Friend has it and they describe reading as quite painful. I only discovered this after recommending a book and they said they never read any unless they were forced to.

I helped them find a special font that made it much easier on their brain and sanity. Difficult part was setting up their OS and apps to use it. There needs to be more awareness for that IMO. They’re a programmer and highly advanced in math, FWIW.

Dad also has it. I suspect he also has what you have. Was in the trades as a result. Getting texts from him requires a lot of translation because he also can’t spell… at all. Oddly enough he’s a bit obsessed with money and his calculator.

Enlightenment was always intriguing to me but man was it buggy and a hog on my “i found this lil guy in a skid” class computers. Has it gotten better ?

Pretty much. Mazda had an issue with spiders attracted to gasoline clogging up fuel systems while being shipped overseas. And soy-based wire sheathing is apparently quite the delicacy to certain animals.

Well… some species divisions live for hundreds of years. So there may be some swimming around older than when some younger countries were founded.

if the whole world smells like shit, check your shoe.

Just seeing the state of toilets and stalls when some people leave… I don’t want that on my hands. When i’m at work I notice many people do their business and bolt out the door if they think they’re alone.

This… I remember one of our neighbors finally letting their homeschooled kid go to public school and play with us. We had to teach him how to run. I remember my young mind being baffled by this. He was incredibly naïve and overly trusting so he got bullied mercilessly and beat up at recess. His mother did him no favors by being really nasty with us when we went over to take him fishing, exploring, etc. We moved away and i wonder what happened to him… he was a gentle soul.

Used to frequent a streaming site for telestreaming robots. I remember the owner getting excited when Ice Poseidon contacted them because of his popularity, thinking it would help traffic. Community warned her it was playing with napalm. She invited him anyway. It only attracted a shitload of griefers, incels and filth that never fully went away after he quickly became bored and left. Site was never the same.

This piece of shit was somehow even more annoying so you love to see it.

Worst comes to worst you can fill it from the dipstick

Going by all the hacky looking fixes, it may have snapped off or been removed for some reason. I’d rustle around those hoses in that area to see if you can at least see the valve cover and feel around for an opening.

Usually on the top left near that jumble of hoses where the valve cover is, there is a filler neck sticking out. I can’t see it in this picture though.

Most of them own some type of property. The rest rent. I was one of the last to buy right before shit hit the fan with COVID and the market went to hell.

Oh look. He’s doing the exact opposite of what Macron and everyone else is demanding just to be spiteful. Eye for an eye. Send fucking Mamdani in. He knows how to play a narcissist like a fiddle just like Trump’s staff does.

This is kind of what he campaigned on… as one promise at least. Knew a few service members excited they’d get to be away less often if he was elected. That is the main reason some voted for him.

I kept telling them they were making a huge mistake because he will get a hair up his ass and do something stupid to stay in office or draw attention away from a fuckup. And here we are… multiple fuckups and failed distractions later. I wish I could see their faces now but they’re on their way to Iran. Heh.

Vance just went on TV to blame Joe Biden.

The US can produce more than anyone else. But they can’t produce enough of the correct type of crude. What they can produce is good for gasoline, but not other fuel types without investing heavily in refactoring infrastructure which would take years. It’s cheaper to just buy it from others. That’s why diesel is skyrocketing. This is what they quickly discovered after kidnapping Venezuela’s leader. US imports most of their heavy oil from Canada, who he has spent months destroying relationships and agreements with because they refuse to bend the knee.

He just enacted an emergency order for California to re-open sites off the coast. It won’t be enough. US would still need to import millions of barrels a day to keep inflation down.
