I’ll level with you. A car wash mode is a great idea. It makes sure the windows, mirrors, wipers, and various sensors on the outside of the car like the opener for the charging door are in a good state for a car wash. I think every modern car should have a car wash mode.

What’s not smart is that the Cybertruck is vulnerable to completely dying from garden-hose-based attacks, in general, and that they “fixed” it by using car wash mode, as if water never gets sprayed at a car at any other time. They’re abusing the car wash mode.

To summarize, car wash mode: good idea. Abusing car wash mode to hide glaring design/implementation defects: shitty idea.

Although I don’t agree with his politics at all, I remember learning about this concept from Ron Paul, of all people. He was being interviewed, and the interviewer said, “You vote ‘no’ on every spending bill, but then inside the spending bill, you have made all sorts of earmarks,” implying that this made Paul a hypocrite.

But Ron Paul said, “It’s my job to make earmarks for my constituents.”

That’s when I realized that there are two things in play, “The world as it is now,” and “The world as in my ideals.” Ron Paul’s ideal world had virtually no government spending (again, I disagree with his concept), but the world that he lived in required him to spend the government’s money on his constituents.

It’s for this same reason that I feel like fighting against gerrymandering in America, locally, if the gerrymandering would benefit you, is a losing proposition right now.

As much as we don’t like it, it’s currently legal to gerrymander for a wide variety of reasons, so the good politicians will be trying to make gerrymandering, as a whole, illegal, while making sure to gerrymander as much as is legally allowed at the same time. It’s not hypocritical. It’s just that we live in that world. If people complain, you just say, “Look, here’s the bill/amendment that I support that makes gerrymandering completely illegal. Those are the laws I want in place. What I’m doing right now is doing what my constituents think is best for them. If you don’t like it, then make sure my bill/amendment passes.”

It’s possible that they have the iPhone for some reason other than they bought it new. Maybe it was a gift from a parent who uses iPhones, or maybe it was a hand-me-down, for example. Point being, the guy in the second panel doesn’t have enough information to say what he’s saying.

“new” colon?

Do they live next to the Addams or the Gartens?

I’ve heard it said that “white” isn’t a proper race. It’s just a skin color. So you could make the argument that snowmen are the only actual white people, and that your uncle is a beige person.

Also, it goes without saying that tons of competent people work at Microsoft, despite OP saying exactly the opposite.

If she thinks that depression is just an excuse for laziness, then what’s her excuse for her laziness?

It is simple, if not trivial, to go look up what depression means, for example, on Wikipedia. She hasn’t done this, and we know that because her understanding of depression doesn’t match the actual definition, so her opinion on depression stems from her laziness.

She implies that other people’s laziness is a bad thing, so why does she think it’s okay for her to express such laziness and lazy opinions?

Now that I’m thinking about it, Superman shouldn’t have been able to see through any conductive metal.

If lead is special, that’s a hint that Superman actually gives off serious doses of radiation when he’s using his X-ray vision.

One option is to speak like him, but choose to remain mute for the rest of your life.

Alternatively, if you looked like him, you could simply never show your face in public again.

I guess you’re referring to me using the word “stupid.” But I am referring to the sentiment that he’s expressing. It’s not only wrong. It’s just so obviously wrong that… let’s say the average middle schooler should be able to see through it. It’s just stupid.

Ebeneezer Scrooge was extremely unusual for a rich person, in that he was able to change his ways. Rich people only care about their money and the power they can get from having that money. No ghost is going to change them.

Most rich people, I think if they were visited by three ghosts, they’d probably pat themselves on the back for being so important that supernatural beings want to talk to them, and they’d try to see if they could get even more ghosts to visit them next time. As long as their numbers keep going up, their ego can continue to inflate.

So, you could say that the mayo makes the dishes different, but mayo is made from eggs and oil. I think mayo also requires a bit of acid, like citrus, which is a little weird on french toast.

It’s infuriating how stupid and wrong JD Vance is.

First, “people” didn’t take Kirk’s life. One person did. Nobody else knew about it beforehand.

Second, we don’t know exactly how the shooter identified because he hasn’t said.

Third, even if he recently identified as left-wing for a year, the entire rest of his life, he was right-wing.

Fourth, a single person, acting alone, cannot be used to make conclusions about a group they are a member of. You have to know the context of the group.

Left-wing people’s mainstream rhetoric is significantly less violent than right-wing people’s mainstream rhetoric. That’s why it’s natural to assume that his actions were motivated by his right-wing upbringing, regardless of where his motivations came from.

I recently watched a couple of videos from celebrities who met Donald Trump back in the day. To make a short story even shorter, they said that in private, Trump simply won’t stop talking, and the only thing he wants to talk about is himself.

I know that we’ve all seen him act like that, and we probably assumed he was just always like that, but if he won’t even show the slightest interest in a big celebrity because he’s too busy talking about himself, then that’s more evidence that he’s just always like that.

And to tie it back to the topic, a person who acts like that cannot possibly make any actual friends. It’s difficult to imagine that anybody in the world has ever actually thought of Donald Trump as a personal friend. He’s just a guy who is tolerated because you think you can get some money out of him.

Well, even when you park in the parking lot, you have to walk to the area where the bus stops in order to pick you up. For the sake of convenience, let’s call that area a “bus stop.” So, you simply need to find the “bus stop” near your home.

Americans can understand if you phrase it differently.

“You know how sometimes, you go to a big event, and the parking is so far away from the event that they have to ferry people from the parking lots to the event using a bus? Well, this is just like that, except you park at home.”

A lazy kate is used for spinning multiple yarns into one, but spool racks are used for anything that is on a spool. Spool racks in the textile industry almost certainly existed long before lazy kates did. The electronics was just an example that people were likely very familiar with.

And downvoting comments like you’re doing is just rude. It doesn’t make your comments any more correct.

??? Spools of yarn are still spools. I’ve seen similar racks for threads.

Edit: And the way you aggressively use downvotes is just plain rude.
