bstix@feddit.dkto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Soooooo, you guys think the orange man will follow through?6·1 day agoHa, yes I guess I called it before it happened. Honestly I just woke up from a nap and figured it out.
I guess we’ll have to see what Israel does before we can tell the outcome.
I don’t think anyone else is going to anything crazy right now. Trump is likely out golfing and cashing in on whatever investments he made before starting this shit show. Let’s not pretend that he gives a flying fuck about who does what in Iran.
Red is facepalming because yellow finally figured out the winning move after having been given infinitely many chances. Good sister.
bstix@feddit.dkto Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Used EV prices rise as Australia’s fuel crisis hits: ‘Doesn’t make sense to hold on to a combustion engine’English171·2 days agoYou’re comparing the purchase price of a new vehicle to the price of consumption in a vehicle that you already own.
Try to make the calculation ten years ahead, including the purchases of however many cars you want in that duration. Add in the consumption and taxes etc. for those vehicles too.
bstix@feddit.dkto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Soooooo, you guys think the orange man will follow through?14·2 days agoThere’s no positive end game in it for him.
If he turns this into a “Look at what you made me do!”-moment, he will have nothing but enemies and they’ll all know that nothing will ever please him, which is dangerous for them.
Thus, their only option will be to assassinate him shortly after. Either by Iran getting back at him with a dirty bomb, or the Saudis getting pissed about the oil prices dropping and making a Diana out of him, or even by some lunatic MAGA who “didn’t vote for this”.
Literally everyone would be out to take him out, and he has nothing to gain from it.
If he realizes this, then no.
His best option is to chicken out. He will claim to have reached a tremendous deal with Pakistan that stopped him from bombing Iran out of his own kindness and generosity, and he will mispronounce all the words.
bstix@feddit.dkto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It makes sense to support whatever system that one knows from experience to support the kind of life one thinks is worthwhile2·2 days agoThen OP ought to change the second “to” to “will” to avoid confusion.

It’s hidden from view in this picture, but there’s a wider drain pipe in the center.
Mickey rolls regular, left leg. Otherwise he’s be goofy.
bstix@feddit.dkto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•In reference to kitchen wrap (aluminum, paper or plastic), do you prefer to tear up against the lid, or down against the box?3·3 days agoFor plastic the trick is to wrap the entire thing and the pull the thing to tear the plastic straight off the serrated edge.
Statistically it’s a failure, but in reality, you get laid two times a week, which is a lot more often than never.
I think it hits the right demography, but other than that the ID.Buzz is basically an SUV with a different exterior.
Modern safety regulations probably disallow the horizontal steering wheel from the original bus, but that’s definitely one of the things I miss in modern vans/busses.
Nah, it was a German company.
I think the issue was that their batteries were already outdated before it made it through the pre-order phase.
They changed the name to xbus.
Not sure if that’s any better, but the design and utility is actually more alike the old veteran VW busses than VW’s own electric bus. I dig it.
They’ve since declared bankruptcy so it’s not going to be produced.
bstix@feddit.dkto News@lemmy.world•Only 50 of these whales are left in existence. Trump’s ‘God Squad’ just chose oil drilling over protecting them5·6 days agoAlso, it is capital now. It would make so much sense to make more capital by waiting, preserving and investing, but that’s not what capitalism does, only oil, money, now.
pay through the nose for the privilege of experiencing such a tasteless money-grab
My father wanted us to get the cheapest option when he passed and then to spend the money on a party instead. We obliged.
Well, it turns out that once you go under a certain price, it also starts getting tasteless, even if it’s cheap.
The guy showed up. Nice black suit that is too large for him. Wondering where he got that. After accessing the situation (a corpse on the first floor) he then asks if we could help him carry the corpse down the stairs.
So we do, and following his direction holdning my father by the arms as we try to solve the “sofa problem” with my father’s corpse in my childhood home staircase… he ask us to shift to the shoulders to avoid breaking his arms off around the corner. As we finally get my father on a rolling stretcher, he asks if we could get him dressed quickly before the stiffness sets in. As we do it, my dead father rips a nasty dead fart.
Exactly how he had always wanted it.
Personally I actually enjoyed the process of having to be the one to carry him out of the house feet first instead of having a stranger do it. But other than that, I would advise anyone to not ask for the cheapest option.
The tram will be traveling the loop at close to the speed of light.
Due to special relativity it will be shorter as it goes through the loop, so the wheels will fit the tracks perfectly when observed from the lever.
bstix@feddit.dkto Europe@feddit.org•Denmark’s unique political model is in crisis – I blame the boomerang effect | Rune LykkebergEnglish6·7 days agoThe columnist has always had a hard time with representative democracy. It’s not a surprise that he found his angle in this election too.
I’m not saying he’s wrong in his core beliefs, just that he’s extremely narrow-minded. This is the hammer calling everything a nail.
I get the same feeling when looking at fractals.
On one hand I want to explore everything but at the same time I know it’s impossible to grasp.
Our own Earth has fixing points from man made stuff, so I sort of know what’s where, but then I zoom in on the archipelagos in south Chile or the lakes in Lapland and I get confused again because it seems soo randomly generated.
