So our choice is between run-of-the-mill president or a guy who says he wants to a dictator, violently tried to overturn the last election, had fake electors etc. etc.

I’m not excited about Biden but the choice seems to be pretty straightforward and I’ll be SURE to get to the polls.

Curious, what model?

Henry Ford designed the Model T to be a bare-bones vehicle affordable for the everyday person. Volkswagon designed the Beetle to be a bare-bones vehicle affordable for the everyday person.

The first car company to design an EV that’s a bare-bones vehicle affordable for the everyday person will sell lots of them. Profit per car may be lower but perhaps we need to set the need for maximum profits aside on this particular issue?

My raises aren’t even CLOSE to keeping up with inflation. Rather hard to splurge on a fancy EV with tons of high-tech nice-to-have features that are just going to break anyway. All I need to do is to get from point A to point B and have AC, heat and a half-decent stereo system.

I’ve never understood why people go and shoot up schools when there’s likely a conference for designers of major appliances just ASKING for it. /s

they need to turn off that fucking music

Can I keep Bluegrass music and older country artists like Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash?

(Modern Country sucks.)

Try Avenue 5 (It was on HBO)

IMO, it was much funnier than Orville. Space cruise ship goes off-course.

Wanted to like it more than I did. Just didn’t think it was all that funny.

Now I thought Avenue 5 (HBO) was absolutely hilarious. It’s the funny I expected from Orville. Too bad it ended after 2 seasons.

I thought it might be something like that. I may uninstall it anyway as it’s not particularly attractive.

We just bought a house and went with a 5 year ARM instead of 30 year fixed to get a 5.5% rate. Sure hoping that rates go down a little in the next 5 years so we can refinance and lock in at a decent fixed rate. Rolling the dice… : (

My wife got 50% off Lasik surgery in the early days of Groupon when they offered crazy deals. I thought it was really unwise to get eye surgery half-off. I’m usually a “you get what you pay for” kind of guy.

Turned out pretty well for her though.

I’m pretty much brand new to lemmy but the thought of having to switch instances to see cooking conversations after conversing about Raspberry Pi projects in a different instance just seems unwieldy. But I guess as long as my instances are all federating with each other I don’t need to switch instances. I’m a technical guy but this needs to be easier for joe sixpack or it’s not going to catch on. And if it doesn’t catch on there’s going to be less interesting content…

Years ago my wife and I were in Rome and went to Vatican City. All the tourist places nearby had this lenticular print of Jesus face as he hung on the cross. Hold it one way and his eyes were closed. Change the angle slightly and his eyes open. It was sooooo overwhelmingly tacky. Now I wished I’d bought it because it WAS so tacky.
