and that the source of the COVID-19 virus was a Chinese lab

This is my personal favorite MAGA conspiracy theory I think, because it means willful ineptitude on themselves. In this theory, the virus is an illegal bioweapon from a Chinese lab. The bioweapon escapes the lab and spreads to every county, infecting 800 million people and killing around 7 million. By those metrics, it's a pretty damn good spreader and a halfway decent killer, if it is a weapon.

So, say I'm China, and I'm watching my weapon escape and travel the world. I watch as my greatest adversary absolutely fucking fumbles. They fail to do much of anything about it and half their citizens just straight up can not be bothered to protect themselves with even the smallest of measures.

If their conspiracy was right, they showed the world they will do nothing to stop a real attack.

Forced to get help where? It's not like mental health resources were available before. Now with Medicaid cuts, I'm sure those mental hospitals are just lining up for the opportunity to treat patients.

Fox viewers will just write this off as "he doesn't want them killed, he just thinks they should get help" and just assume there are 800,000 free beds, fully staffed and ready to help these people.

He died on the 10th. Zulu/UTC time is breaking my brain a bit, but that would have been 4:27 pm in Utah I think. Still just Minutes after his spokesperson confirmed he was dead

The site takes donations exclusively in crypto and does not explain anything beyond saying donations will support* the site...no names or founder or non profit. Just "trust me bro" "give me the untaxable currency bro". MAGA never passes on a scam opportunity.

Not related. Water meters keep track of flow and help pinpoint leaks where water is being wasted or on return before it is treated, making the municipal water system more efficient.

This sounds like the Musk Tunnels are purely to move stormwater. Think those concrete aqueducts around cities to collect water that would normally flow through a watershed but is now falling in impermeable surfaces. It's just going to be an underground river essentially. It sort of makes sense because the Boring Company can make tunnels, admittedly while ignoring many regulations.

This plane goes with the Trump family in the end, calling it now. The new Air Force One model, VC-25B, has been in work for a long time. This new plane saves nothing. Boeing already has the two the USAF ordered. They have been in construction for years now. This new one would have to be stripped bare and built up considerably to reach the point the other two are at already.

I bet this one sits still for a while under the facade that it's going to be AF1, then quietly becomes his family's personal plane under the guise it'll save us money to fly them someplace once, twice, forever. Who's going to stop them anyway?

You couldn't pay me to let a cop linger on my property, off duty or not, I don't want someone unbound by law hanging around.

Keep your 2 eyes on everyone's 10 fingers

Lee, for his part, has vowed to return with a diluted version of the proposal, writing on X, "Yes, the Byrd Rule limits what can go in the reconciliation bill, but I'm doing everything I can to support President Trump and move this forward. Stay tuned. We're just getting started."

The fight isn't over though. It was just deemed to be too far outside of strictly budget related proposals. Another version of this will be added eventually. If not in this same bill, the next one.

Hey friend, mine is a gen 2 S, so the menus may vary, but when I'm in park, I can turn off the "full self driving" option. Then that lets me turn lane centering on and off. That will put you back to the one click for cruise, second click for lane keep.

I made a second driver profile, one with autopilot and one without. That lets me switch in and out quickly without needing to find a safe spot to stop the car. I hope that helps!

Very true, I wasted no time putting some stickers on to show I dessent. The dumpster trucks are really the only ones you can be sure are driven by assholes.

I posted this in the past and it continues to be true. Autopilot is getting worse overtime. Tesla is feeding autopilot driving data into its system to learn to drive better. The problem is, it's learning its worst habits. Phantom braking, hesitation in turns, unable to keep a steady speed. Every update I try it and rarely last more than a couple miles. It's not that I want to use it, I just want to see if it's getting better or worse.

The wild thing is, turning off autopilot and using lane keep and cruise is fine. They warn you that lane keep is old autopilot so it's not as reliable, trying to urge you into using full autopilot so they can harvest more data. But that "old" autopilot was built before all the updates that made the full autopilot system unusable to me

If you're wondering, I'd like to not be driving a Tesla. But it's paid off, worth basically nothing in resale, and I got it as a CPO with free charging and autopilot for life. It costs Tesla money to keep it.

I bet the venn diagram of cops wearing ski masks and cops who refused to wear covid masks is a circle

Not Tesla dealerships. They sell their cars online so the dealers really only exist as a pickup location and any final documentation from the buyer. These lots filling up with unsold cars means that production is exceeding sales to the point they are distributing cars to sit on lots waiting for buyers. It's inverse of how Tesla normally operates.

Plans now include a parade since that coincides with Trump's 79th birthday.

According to the article, the parade part is specifically for Trump

Congratulations! I love the retro-futuristic headlight style on those. Your DC fast charging speed must also wildly faster, im envious of new EVs in comparison to my 2016. They've come a long way

More like 50% can't be bothered because they "aren't political"

23% are GOP single issue voters who with vote their party till the day they die for that one thing (guns, god, babies, etc.)

27% have some assortment of center to left values and with flake easier than Tesla paint if any one of them is not met

Tesla stock went UP after announcing a huge drop in sales and profit with the only "good" news being Musk backing away from DOGE. How in the world did the promise of his return to the company help? Further evidence that Tesla stock value isn't based on anything tangible
