...bet they had to use a lot of those racist correct math answers, to build that rover, too... Unwoke, indeed! (Thank God!) | ||

I like the kiddie stickers! By all means mock racism. Embarrass the Race Hustlers every chance you can. It's Massively Offensive to me that racist dildos are insisting that math is racist... because the assumptions made to come to that are so blatantly evil. I'm almost as angry that the assumption that Americans of certain skin color are inferior don't get challenged by the fearful. Yes, you can argue that our education system could teach math better, even before Commie Core turned it into an overwrought exercise in bad techniques. But the notion that it's a race issue to want the store to open when the sign says, or get an equation correct, no matter if it's giving change at Burger King or sizing the supports on a pedestrian bridge, is deliberately, "coded" racism of Evil Men. And Women. And Womyn? ( I see 4 lights!) | ||

I like the idea of racist math. Some kid at Burger King should give me $22 change when I pay for my burger with a $10. As a programmer and DBA, I wonder how long I cold go ignoring decimal places? | ||
| Sami |
Zane, $10 for a burger? That's racist. Free burgers for everybody, because money is racist. | ||

Actually burgers are racist. Some of the cows they murder are black. I wouldn't be surprised if the police don't run the slaughter houses. I have this horrible vision of black cows with the police holding the cows down with their knees on the cows neck until they die. Oh the humanity of it all... I guess we should all go vegan, except what do we do about vegetables of color? Green beans? Red bell pepper? Is eating vegetables of color racist? | ||

>>>give me $22 change when I pay for my burger with a $10 I had something similar happen . . . I'd given them a $10 and got back something like $14 . . . I started to say something and the young lady barked "what now?" . . . "oh nothing . . . " and drove off. For real fun . . .buy something and it it's like $5.67. Give the clerk $0.17 and watch what ensues. Don't do this if you are in a hurry. It takes a while and you may well end up teaching the remedial math lesson the teacher (haha) skipped. | ||

"I guess we should all go vegan, except what do we do about vegetables of color? Green beans? Red bell pepper? Is eating vegetables of color racist?" Here's a tip (I should post this in the "Food, recipes, tips", but c'est la vie): Place all of your vegetables of colour in a blender, blend it well for 15 odd seconds or so until it turns into a beige/brown looking slurry, serve with ice. You may want to leave out the ice though, because ice is racist. | ||

I confuse cash register folk all the time by handing them $6.17 in the example above. Court is right, it too often slows things down. I blame...  | ||

I met my wife working at McD's in high school. I ended up being a crew trainer and she was a crew trainer before manager. The number of hours we combined have spent downstairs teaching employees how to make change is a metric ton. The example above is what drives us both bat sh** crazy. Years later, my wife had a pet store. Our 6 year old daughter was taught to make change and run the register. What was amusing was watching the non-regulars double check their change when she handed it to them. | ||

Technology advancements shift balances of power. Makes me wonder how many fit in a container, and if the CCP have shipped us some. I remember a ship load of "AKs", Type 56s, during the Clinton years. They hit in LA first and were in the gang/drug system. That & the current Fentanyl flood are both very likely Chinese government narco terrorism ops. If MANPADS get into the hands of Antifa, or fake "White Supremacist blah blah" group, or a real one, it would be Bad. Leftist Terrorism or False Flag operation, people still get hurt. | ||

Musings on the Need for a Cheap Guided Infantry Weapon https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HE8ORTUrvJM Again, technology changes the battlefield. The U.S. Javelin missile is a very effective fire and forget weapon, that climbs over the target and dives into the lightly armored top. Intended for tanks and APCs, the fire & forget, aka shoot & scoot, technology is vital against vehicles whose operators have learned to defeat wire guided anti tank weapons by using machine gun fire and artillery to take out or distract the missile operator. The Russian Sagger missiles were very effective early in the Yom Kippur war until New tactics were developed. So if you want to kill the enemy armor, you really want to shoot & scoot, with a weapon you don't have to guide after launching points a Big flaming finger at where you are sitting there... But Javelin costs well over $100,000 a shot. That makes training very expensive and limits your options for use. After all, your boss will get yelled at for expenditure of expensive gear, & that flows down... Is taking out the single guy with an AK in a shack worth more money than your total salary for a 4 year hitch? Certainly! But Congresscritters don't think so. So I understand the desire for a cheaper, simple to use man portable shack destroyer. Unfortunately, it's also something I don't want the enemy to have, and as the MANPAD video above points out, these things get into the hands of insurgents supplied by corrupt regimes. Imagine Portland if Antifa had Sagger class missiles. The assaults on Federal & Police buildings would have higher casualties... Or other terrorist attacks on infrastructure like Airports or refineries. Sure, the Molotov cocktail is the classic budget force multiplier, but getting long range firepower into bad guy's hands is worse. | ||

Here ya go, greenies - nice, big, gaping HOLE in the earth to get materials for your precious electric cars. To be mined here in AMERICA (if they de-regulate enough to allow it to happen, that is). Still doesn't discuss disposal at end-of-life, but...meh, we'll cross that bridge when we need to, right? Or, maybe they'll just farm production out to the CCP, where most lithium comes from now anyway. They're not regulation-strangled like the USA is, and hey...NIMBY. If WE aren't doing it, then the EARTH isn't getting hurt. Right? Morons. https://www.inverse.com/article/35618-tesla-gigafa ctory-lithium-supervolcano | ||

Tesla recycles their batteries already. Their next battery will outlast three cars, and so will be reused in two more new cars before it is relegated to stationary power duty before being recycled. | ||

We have Mount Rainier volcano here in Seattle full of lithium. (Message edited by TPEHAK on March 03, 2021) | ||

| Ratbuell |
That's cool. You'd think they could adapt the tech to something that doesn't need refills - focused jets of compressed air. | ||
| Tpehak |
I actually prefer hydroplaning because of it reduces friction and increases fuel efficiency. | ||

And the lack of directional control is just an added bonus?!?! | ||
| Tpehak |
You can activate the antihydroplaning mode when you need to steer, but the rest of the time you want to hydroplane. | ||

Patrick, are you attempting to outdo Al Gore or something? I'd write a book if I were you. Do pardon me if I offend. I appreciate and respect your contributions here. Apparently you're retired. |
