Hyundai/Kia have a major problem with the integrated charge control units that they’re basically refusing to provide a long-term solution for. If it fails in one car, they just replace it with an identical module and hope it doesn’t happen again. But the root cause has not been addressed.

The problem being solved is having a friend who is a drywall contractor who needs some extra work

Maybe Texans should elect someone who won’t appoint stooges to the PUC

utilities management should remain under the purview of a publicly-accountable governing body

Charlie! You can never come back!

No you don’t get it, by redefining common words we can make society doubleplus good

always lol @ brave

It’s the chorizo! Very chorizo!

My legs fall asleep after like 20 min so I would love some advice on extending my stay

Terminator 2 is always the classic example, been downhill since then though

Quibbling over the definition of “authoritarian” is kind of a red flag for a country that invented the term “gulag”

Defending the Soviet Union in this way has the same energy as someone claiming that the Nazis actually did some really good scientific research

You can organize and read theory without supporting Stalinism et al. A boot by any other name still tastes like leather

The Zapatistas don’t have enough tanks for .ml to support them I guess

Why don’t you take all this misplaced energy defending an authoritarian state with really excellent propaganda and use it to support a group actually doing some good like the Zapatistas or something

Do you have charts that include all the soviets combined or just Russia? Russia practiced its own version of imperialism over Siberia, Ukraine, etc so showing charts titled “Russia” is telling. Would love to see life expectancy in Ukraine following the holodomor

Things getting worse doesn’t mean they were good before lol

lol the Secret Service is 100% Trump loyalists, just like the military.

Is per capita appropriate in this context?

Or because the US, the richest country ever to exist, is squandering its wealth on weapons and kleptocracy instead of improving its citizens’ lives even a tiny amount?

Accelerationism is so edgy
