First Presidential Debate Megapost!
  • I don't like the Republican policy, but it is semi-coherent; isolation, xenophobia, anti-immigration, no abortions in red states, burn down the entire economy if it doesn't work for rural areas. The Democrats don't have a coherent policy; immigration yes but also no. Peace in Palestine, but also send weapons to Israel. Stop Russia at all costs, but send as little money and only expired weapons. This is the greatest economy of all time ever, even if you don't feel it and can't afford a house. Crime is down, too bad you don't feel safe.

  • Newsmax Host Ominously Warns ‘You People in Your Cities’ Who Are ‘Pushing the Party That Owns 90% of the Guns’

    It's their fantasy that they'll go into the 'city' to take it over. Let them. Downtown is mostly social services in major cities, maybe some healthcare or a large teaching hospital. They'll quickly realize that pointing guns at homeless people isn't very productive.

    The vast majority of people live in suburbs, don't care about politics, don't follow the news.

    Revenge fantasies are always stupid. Modern cities are vast tracks of cookie-cutter suburban housing.

  • Global sales of polluting SUVs hit record high in 2023, data shows
  • I think that there might be a certain size that is just comfortable for a car. Elderly people really can't get into small micro-cars, like a Honda Fit, it's hard to maneuver into them if an older person has joint pain. I think that's why crossovers are popular, they're just regulars cars that have been given a 6inch lift and a hatchback to make storage easier.

  • Fewer people in the US plan to buy EVs this year, study shows
  • 1 extra year will help to see how the batteries actual perform. After 10 years a Tesla's battery is under 80% of its original capacity, you're at the point of losing 1/4, 25%, of range. Not sure how many fail completely.

  • Analysis: Misinformation has created an alternative world for some Americans
  • Many neo-nazis used the BBS system to find each other. The funding model of direct email and such, that is used today, could probably be traced back to the early 1990s BBS forums. Scummy people have a way of finding each other.

  • [meme] Lawns and car storage — name a more wasteful use of land
  • Plant a bunch of trees, put down some mulch. Walk away for a year, with no worries. Once a year, add mulch. Enjoy providing habitat for birds and small mammals, plus the shade and privacy, for zero maintenance.

    Look up mini-forest, micro-forest, tiny-forest, research. Crazy how a few trees changes a landscape for animals.

  • Guitar Lessons from old school hobbyist website?

    Looking for someone that has a hobbyist website that posts to it guitar lessons.

    I'm trying to stay away from Youtube, as it is too hard to sort through so many videos, and many of them are just ads for courses.

    Love old website and blogs, from the before social media times.
