Root cause analysis determined that the reason for the incident was that it was a ship built in Russia.

Logarithmically scaled image. I'll leave the determination of the base of the Log as an exercise for the viewer.

He's a conservative so he only cares when it affects him personally.

Who fucking cares at this point? No deal with that moron is worth anything. Give him nothing. Because he's going to slap whatever imaginary bullshit on whomever he pleases no matter what they do. Let his stupid threats be what they are - a syphyllitic old man pissing into the wind.

He's hiding his assets in plain sight and the courts are letting him get away with it.

Woke is a brilliant and evil political manipulation tool. As a conservative politician, you never have to state a position on any topic anymore. You just say you're against all the woke stuff and your captive idiots just assume you agree with them. They hear exactly what they want to hear.

The unemployed auto sector worker believes "woke" means Chinese EVs.

The bigots believe "woke" means allowing gay people to exist.

The wealthy believe "woke" means making rich people like them actually pay taxes.

It's a shortcut around actually saying anything of substance. You can get two people whose agendas are completely opposed to both believe that you are on their side because they both accept that "woke" means the thing they hate. And since you just said that you hate "woke", then you hate the same thing they do so they will support you through anything now.

Yes, that's correct. If you cherrypick data and extrapolate your preferred assumptions about it you can make it say the thing you want.

An absolutely based strategy would be to launch a highly anticipated product with falsely constrained supply. Then right as the scalpers start posting their shit release the real supply with like a $10 price reduction and make a big announcement. Scalpers get rekt when everyone who wants one can get it for $10 less.

When this is all over Iran is going to have way more, and way more formalized, control over that strait than it ever did before this Epstein-distraction war ever started.

The USA is really good at losing wars, but this loss is going to be epic.

Since it's a Russian ship, I'd like to point out that that is very typical.

I absolutely love this for them. I'm glad they're hitting the USA as hard as they are. Laughed out loud when I saw the E3 broken in half.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Say goodbye to your world superpower status, ya morons.

Yeah, it's the surging gas prices. Sure, CEO man.

These idiots are so out of touch. $40 more a month in gas compared to 3 years ago isn't what's breaking me. It's the $800/mo more in rent. It's the $300/month more in groceries. It's my electrical bill doubling because of a new AI slopcenter in my backyard. It's being told by my boss that this quarter's record profits weren't record enough to fund a measly 2% raise for me.

But sure, my dude Mr. Kraft CEO. Blame the gas boogeyman.

I wonder how marbled Mr. Cahillaine's sirloin is? Maybe it would be good with some Heinz 57 sauce.

Nope, only people with functioning brains.

This should serve as a powerful reminder that nobody in the world, under any circumstances, should ever assist USA troops.

My neighbour used to park his truck sticking way out like that, but it wasn't all the way back in the spot.

I left a note on it saying: "It's not as big as you think it is, you have to put it all the way in."

From then on it was parked properly.

Who cares if a MSRP$199 motherboard now costs $239 instead of the $249 it did last month? RAM is still thousands of dollars. GPUs are still thousands of dollars.

There is no point trying to build a PC anymore. Run what you have until the industry collapses, and only spend any money on indie games. The industry has chosen to fuck you over completely. Never forget that.

As a Canadian, I'm glad they're running out of ammo before they turn north.

Hey 'Murica, do you still think you're going to vote your way out of this mess?

Oh Osama 100% won. 9-11 was entirely successful at breaking the USA.

A strike would be fascinating. You can't just stop a chip fab. There could be huge batch losses.
