  1. Looks like nominating judges and justices finally pays off for Trump. The SC delaying the immunity claim decision and Judge Cannon tiptoeing around her case and probably blocking the calender for any other case.
  2. While germans have a talent for formulating goals, we are well behind getting the needed infrastructure. The windpark next to my village, for years does not harvest about 25% of the energy because there are not enough powerlines to transport it. The above mentioned goal requires the construction of 5 windturbines daily for years, already well behind. Good goals but no realistic plan to reach them or no realistic goals for what actually can be done.
  3. Maybe, just maybe, it's time to reconsider the handling of these events. Instead of waisting time with thoughts and prayers or feeling bad for people who are dead anyway. (There are too many people walking on this planet anyway) Why not embrace these shootings as part of american culture and celebrate the flawless working of these magnificently engineered weapons and their manufacturers?

  4. Looks like Harlan Crow, the Nazi memorabilia collecting billionaire, bought himself a fine black SC Justice.
  5. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/03/desantis-signs-gun-bill-00090170 Looks like De Santis made Florida a lot safer.
  6. Where's the joke, he is stating a fact. Rittenhouse went there, straightened things out and the court said it was ok. At least that's how it looks from the outside.
  7. Wow, looks like it's time to revise the anthem and get rid of the "land of the free" part.
  8. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/16/virginia-governor-glenn-youngkin-extreme-bill-police-menstrual-histories Well, I heard of 'follow the money'. Follow the blood is new to me.
  9. Our former minister of defence was quick to blame the manufacturer and she started to question the whole program. Yesterday came out a new report and the army had to admit that the problem was based on user error and lack of training. Neither version sheds a good light on our military or their leadership.
  10. McCarthy says he will look at expunging Trump impeachment Looks like somebody wants to "correct" the history.
  11. What really matters is that her voters are too dumb to know or care about the facts.
  12. I don't know what is scarier, politicians spreading this BS or millions of americans happily believing this BS.
  13. Because the american judicial system is not as blind as it claims to be.
  14. Actually it's a coalition of 3 parties (SPD, Green, FDP) which, at least, represent more than 50% of the voter.
  15. Looking from the outside it's fascinating how americans insist on being ruled by a minority. - Electoral college - Gerrymandering - Fillibuster
  16. Funny, back in the days we used to say that the Icon is the better Atom.
  17. This same shit happend with the Atom containers from PdF in the early 2000 years. After having the alteration done the top flap stood up and was, in my eyes, a serious danger if somebody brushed over my container. I really didn't like that and got rid of the rig.
  18. Listening to republican politicians I'm seriously confused. Is it Communism, Marxism or Socialism that allows states to ask for desaster help form this government that is led by the radical left?
  19. So much for free and fair elections
  20. Once you get to the "V", the skyhook is already working. Disconnecting later on shouldn't be a big problem?
  21. In an actual tandem fatality thread someone wrote: "Even if properly rigged, estimat is that it disconnect prematurely in approx 15% of uses." Since nobody commented or argued about this statement I have two questions. 1. Is this estimate correct in any way? 2. What do people think is the reason for this? (Esp. if properly rigged)
  22. If you drive your EV with a constant speed you get X miles out of your battery. As soon as you start braking and accelerating you only get x minus a loss. Increasing the milage means you cut down on the loss but you will never get the X miles out of that trip. At least that's how my little brain understands these regenerative systems.
  23. You can only become the good guy with a gun if you carry it. So, don't hesitate.
