  1. How would you like to be the person who got paid to lather sunscreen all over him
  2. It would require a bigger discussion, but he's always been a little weird about people who are a lot richer than he is. With that said, he publicly told Musk he better watch himself and not go after Republicans, or there would be "serious consequences" so he's flexed on Musk. I think he's actually sensitive about the FSD stuff, and NTSB putting it out there that Tesla sucks would bug the shit out of him, especially since he didn't get it fully shut down with the DOGE bullshit.
  3. Probably has a decent chance - Trump will want to look like he's strong, he's probably pissed that the Russians have been talking shit about his decision to bomb Iran.
  4. Yep. Half of us here would admit to wanting to bang Sarah Silverman. The other half wouldn't admit it.
  5. They really did. I haven’t caught up on the thread, but I’m guessing the other middle-aged guys like me remember Parker and a shitload of us had those wonderful Pirates caps. I remember when I was in the 6th grade, a classmate was loudly talking about how Parker belonged in the Hall of Fame, and the teacher got pissed and got in a fight with him and said Parker would only get in when he’s dead. What grown-ass adult gets in a fist fight with a kid in the 6th grade because the kid likes the Pirates? Probably a fucking Cincinnati Reds fan, that’s who.
  6. Yeah, he really thought they cared about what he cared about when the reality is that they only like his money. If he wants to keep tossing hundreds of millions at the GOP, they might listen to him, but it sounds like that bridge was burned. He’s realizing he is going to have to go scorched earth on the GOP and get some of them out of office to get any of those benefits, breaks, or subsidies back. But Trump publicly warned him not to go after Republicans or he would pay for it. What is the richest alpha male in the world to do?
  7. This stuff will keep the lawyers busy. No idea on the line between satire and copyright/trademark theft. And some of it is…inappropriate like this
  8. This when it comes out
  9. If you watch LGR reviews on YouTube, he talks about building old systems with original parts and how expensive it is. A shitload of systems/components had problems (capacitors) and were trashed, or were scrapped for metals or whatever, or because there was a period of rapid advancements, a lot of stuff was churned through quickly - like extremely noticeable differences on a yearly basis. And there is a serious community of people out there who play their favorite games on period-accurate systems.
  10. Or post on a message forum full of Captain Dickheads
  11. Fuck, I had a $50 Regal Cinemas gift-card somebody gave me. Think I lost at the house of this gal I'm banging on the side.
  12. Musk's lack of common sense is on full display here - he really did think that $250 million+ could protect his business interests. He got so fucking played by the GOP. And Trump openly threatened him not to try and replace any Republican legislators that vote for the stuff that might harm Musk's business interests. He wasted all of that money getting people elected who are going to fuck him over.
  13. Russian drones kill 2 and injure 17 in Odesa as Ukraine destroys helicopters in Crimea – KXAN Austin KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian drones struck the southern Ukrainian port city of Odesa overnight, killing two people and injuring at least 17, Ukrainian authorities said on Saturday. Meanwhile, three attack helicopters and an anti-aircraft missile system were destroyed in the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula. Ukraine’s Security Service agency deployed special drones to attack the Kirovske military airfield, a Ukrainian security official said on Saturday. “Available data indicate the destruction of multi-purpose and attack helicopters Mi-8, Mi-26 and Mi-28, as well as the self-propelled anti-aircraft missile and gun complex Pantsir-S1,” according to the official, who spoke about the operation on condition of anonymity. In Odesa, a drone slammed into a residential tower block in the city, causing damage to three floors and trapping residents, emergency services said. The two killed in the attack were a married couple, according to regional Gov. Oleh Kiper, who added that three children were among the injured.
  14. They want to shut down any and all major weather forecasts that might even look like it could be used by those talking about climate change, and they also want to privatize weather data and sell the infrastructure off, so that if you're Farmer Bill in Nebraska wanting to track the weather for saying harvesting crops, he will be ponying up a monthly subscription. There will be the low-tier forecast, which is a very basic forecast, then he can pay for add-ons like tornado warnings, precipitation tracking, wind data, humidity data, etc.
  15. Elon probably never read any Heinlein, just got the Cliff’s Notes version and liked the word. Or not even that much. Somebody else read it.
  16. Plus, if you're dumb enough to sign up with one of the "verification" services, then congrats, your name, address, DL #, etc. is now in a database of people who voluntarily admitted they viewed porn (which the State of Texas will be interested in). And your info is probably already for sale on the various identity theft sites.
  17. I don’t. I think the Epstein stuff was a step too far for Trump. Trump has a long history of using people and then tossing them to the side. Musk does not have the ability to self-police, and has a long history of saying stuff like that. Musk is apparently still having to answer to the NTSB/National Highway Safety Administration as well over FSD, and the latest shenanigans with robotaxi’s performance won’t endear him to them. Trump could have made that go away but he didn’t. Edit: and by the way, I think Musk was extremely angry at the Republicans about the budget bill, because it potentially hurts Tesla’s bottom line in the long run.
  18. When smartphones started getting water proof/resistant, it took things to a whole ‘ other level with jerking in the shower.
  19. Clips from Danger 5
  20. If Trump is still pissed at him, Abbott could try and get Trump’s attention by pursuing this little incident. Leon has to be careful now.
  21. Twitter and a lot of social media companies block VPNs because you touch yourself at night as an attempt at combatting all kinds of fraud, from misinformation to porn to bot farms clicking on ads and driving up numbers of “influencers”.
  22. I'll go with #2. They'll purge their ranks, rebuild their organization, and continue working on it. Iran apparently has a somewhat robust higher education system for cranking out engineers/physicists, and it's not like they are going to lose access to 80 years of information about applied nuclear technology.
  23. To be fair to him, even if he wasn't talking about the Nazi occupation, he still at least acknowledges things like the Nazi occupation and the Holocaust. Whole lot of people these days, when asked about 1930s/1940s Nazi Germany do the "I'm not sure, I haven't done research on it, I'm just asking questions" bullshit.
