    I don't even consider a station wagon a big car anymore. And I bet the vast majority of station wagon owners actually need the space. No shot the average SUV owner needs the weight for anything other than to feel "safe" in their tank.

    Generally when people talk fruits and vegetables they are referring to culinary tradition. Vegetable does not have a precise scientific definition anyway, despite what you've heard from The Big Bang Theory.

    I'm the same way. It's as if my brain is very good at holding connected ideas and forming complex models, but hopelessly bad at holding unrelated information. Like, I can hold an entire schematic in my head all day but can't remember a random zipcode longer than a few seconds.

    Oh, that all sounds great. I really was just curious about this specific case of using training money for buying tanks.

    Well, the implication of the comic is that funds for police training go to police militarization. I'm asking if this actually happened, but like you suggest it's probably more of a vibes thing.

    I dunno, it could be similar. AI has this aura of being something that every business could make use of, even if they don't have a concrete use case. I could see "X but with an AI" be a similar bubble to "X but on the web". We'll see.

    Here you go: F-35 costs $80m. NYPD 2022 payouts $121m. Pentagon failed its audit by at least a couple hundred billion out of 3 trillion budget, though technically that isn't money lost, that is the total records that auditors weren't able to access during the audit.

    The problem is replacing nuclear with renewables does nothing to combat climate change. We need to be reducing fossil fuels. At the very least, they should have phased out coal before nuclear. While france was busy reducing its dependence on coal, Germany remains the largest producer of coal in Europe.

    I'll probably get one, though I'll wait for reviews and such. Until then- I got an agon light, which has scratched a similar itch.

    They actually were designed to cam out in low torque applications so consumers could not over-tighten them. The problem is now those consumers only know what a phillips is, so they're used for everything.

    It takes effort to set up a new app, so for now the path of least resistance is to stay on reddit. Once third party apps break, their users will have to set up a new app anyway, so might be willing to choose a fedi app instead of the official reddit app. But yeah, we'll see.

    I use Privacy Badger to block trackers, and uBlock to manually block especially annoying ads. Everything else is allowed. So if an ad isn't obnoxious and doesn't track, it gets through. It's not perfect but I figure that's a reasonable compromise.
