So, imo, EVs vs gas combustion engines? I lean towards the latter for now, providing they burn clean.

If only people were smart enough to combine advances in battery technology, and the power of continually improving combustion engines which have gained 20%-50% thermal efficiency improvements in just the last 20 years. Maybe if they're really smart, they'll make a racing series featuring them. We could call it Formula One.

@#6 ... Trump told UAW he'd protect them from new foreign competition and they decided to not endorse Harris. Now he's wanting to do exactly the opposite. ...
You noticed that also?

Yeah, KEI cars are really what people want, not SUVs. Tariffs on those SUVs from China, currently 240%. Protectionism is full effect. Thanks Trump?

Separately, wait until you find out the majority of UAW members aren't actually in the automotive industry. A bunch of them woke up to find out they're not professionals anymore.

imo, it is not only about the cost.

It's definitely about the costs. It's not that expensive to do a Find & Replace on the words "Donald" and "Trump".

Foreign enemy much?

Hostile foreign agents trying pushing us towards fascism. We should immediately launch drone strikes on Nigeria.

Shouldn't you and your kids be out chasing ambulances before AI replaces all of your kind?

Sitzdork is the leading expert on....well, nothing, actually.

True story. I'm only a SME in a few topics. Probably not the leading one in those subjects, but I like having a life.

Hold my jollof and watch stupid Americans re-tweet this ----.

Don't worry they're on the left too. Just when you thought the Nigerian scammer couldn't get any craftier, now they're mining the socials for followers and paychecks

On the DC-10, the pylon fitting bolts themselves were removed.

"During the investigation, an examination of the pylon attachment points revealed some damage done to the wing's pylon mounting bracket that matched the bent shape of the pylon's rear attachment fitting. This meant that the pylon attachment fitting had struck the mounting bracket at some point. This was important evidence, as the only way the pylon fitting could strike the wing's mounting bracket in the observed manner was if the bolts that held the pylon to the wing had been removed, and the engine/pylon assembly was supported by something other than the aircraft itself. Therefore, investigators could now conclude that the observed damage to the rear pylon mount had been present before the crash occurred rather than being caused by it." NTSB AAR7917

It was bad maintenance procedure. They inspected 3 fleets. United was doing it right. American and Continental were doing it wrong.

For the dense, that means Republicans are, as usual, giant hypocrites and nothing they tell MAGA is real.

Definitely the American traitor president's fault that we turned our backs our allies

"In August 2025, the U.S. approved an $825 million sale of extended-range missiles and navigation systems to Ukraine."

The only thing that's changed is who's paying the defense contractors for replenishment. In this case, the gear is all American and other NATO members foot the bill.

Definitely the American president's fault that Ukraine won't lower their draft age.

There was already an alert system, they received the alerts, they willfully chose not to act on them.

I have to remind Texas trumpers of this frequently.

The people in charge that received the emergency notifications and decided to wait and see what would happen instead of evacuating the kids?

That's the right people to sue.

Trump has done practically nothing to help Ukraine, no doubt at Putin's bidding.

"It is a current U.S. proposal, originating from the Biden administration in late 2024 and subsequently advocated by an incoming Trump administration aide in early 2025, that Ukraine should lower its military draft age to 18 to boost troop numbers."

U.S. Position: Both the outgoing Biden administration and the incoming Trump team have signaled the need for Ukraine to lower the minimum conscription age from 25 to 18 to address significant manpower shortages and stabilize the front lines. Mike Waltz, President-elect Trump's pick for National Security Advisor, publicly advocated for this change in January 2025.

There's not enough whores in Gaza, male and female, to support a UN assembly.

"The panel featuring Technician Fourth Class George H. Pruitt is currently off display, though not out of rotation," the ABMC said. Staff at the commission "have developed a schedule for periodic rotation to include new content for visitors," it added.

Definitely the most attention the ABMC in Netherlands has ever gotten.

" and works to reduce the illicit drug trade."

That's a stretch.

But I am pretty sure this is the blue helmets job not US troops unless they're in-helmet.

Who might benefit from the establishment of this base?
Israelis or Palestinians?

It's not binary. It can be both, neither, it can be both and biased.

Definitely has nothing to do with the billionaire donors abusing the lowest rungs of the H-1B system so they don't have to hire US college students.

If he were talking about farm labor...

#9 it showed you content you engaged with. You don't even have to click on it, spend time reading crazy ----, get crazy ----. Lingering on any of it is positive feedback.

Routinely shutting down in October means you're 25% underfunded to begin with. The savings from fixing massive corruption didn't happen, turns out there isn't a lot of individual cheats.

You're the dictator, you get to wave a wand a cut stuff until the government can actually make it a year, you don't have to pretend you can have a balanced budget, just get through the year. What gets cut?
