I hope we are throwing curveballs into the tech they are stealing.

Curveballs that seem good on paper and computer models but will absolutely not work in real world.

Until further notice, it is TRUMP/VANCE 2028 :usa:

It’s not nice.

I’m always amazed at how people will beat on a car or truck with their hands and sticks and stuff. Are they so stupid they don’t realize they are making it 100 times more likely the driver will do something crazy.

It requires a great amount of professionalism to not tear up and break shite on modern automobiles. Over engineered crap with plastic pieces everywhere and enough wires and sensors to reach 3 times around the planet.

All the manufacturers make it truly not enjoyable to work on cars anymore. Even when being paid it’s simply not satisfying having to remove 9 bolts to get to and replace an oil filter. Then have it drain directly onto a control arm or whatever. How are you going to become an “engine whisperer” when half your day you are silently cursing some engineer for what is obviously over engineered back assward crap.

So many times over the years I’ve concluded they don’t want people to work on their own cars. They make so many things unnecessarily difficult and if you’re new to turning wrenches it very easy to break very expensive stuff.

I worked in the kitchen in HS. If it’s a slow night and the kitchen has been cleaned and the chef is ready to bounce, an hour before closing you are safe. If you just order a steak or a burger you’re probably ok down to around 40 minutes. Anything complicated requiring different pots and pans and multiple items from the fridge, inside 30 minutes is playing with fire.

On a busy night you’re probably good for most things down to 30 minutes because the chef has given up on leaving early and they get caught up in the excitement of the restaurant having a high total for the night.

I was in Home Depot buying an 8’ pine board to use as 4- 2’ shelves. The young man was trying so hard to help I agreed when he suggested he could cut them down to 2’ with Home Depot’s saw.

He diligently measured then cut each 2’ piece one by one. Hehehe. I couldn’t wait for him to finish then stack the 4 pieces. His face of bewilderment when one was nearly a half in shorter than the others was worth the price of admission.

I explained how to avoid that and told him to not worry about it because they weren’t going inside a cabinet or bookshelf.

ETA: A hardware store could keep some scraggly 2X4s and a chop saw near the front door and periodically shave a few 1/4” off. The smell of fresh cut wood is awesome and might add to the ‘local hardware guy’ feel.

He fled Iran as a child with his family. They lived in a refugee camp then came to US.

He then built a multi hundred million dollar company in the US and sold it.

He’s independently wealthy.

He is building a media company, I believe.

I seriously doubt he is being paid by the country he fled from.

Here is where you’re wrong. The act of accelerating toward the officer was attempted murder of a police officer. His leaping out of the way does not neutralize the threat.

It used to be rare to have evidence like this. Not long ago we would never have evidence like this.

We need much swifter and final justice nowadays.
