Not really a gag, more a term that Tim Walz (Harris' VP pick) coined describing Republicans that has stuck like glue due in large part to it being absolutely true. The more you watch Trump's inner circle, the weirder it gets. And the more people that realize how weird and dumb some of those people are, the more that some of the less rabid Trump supporters might actually have to start asking questions about who they support when they start being called weird by extension. And they're not gonna like being called weird.

JD Vance, Trump's VP pick. The kindest you can say about him (and to be fair a lot of the Republicans) is that he is very, very weird.

Someone with a very unhealthy obsession with couches.

Yeah. A lot of those sites are actually translating them, often from donations by the users. I doubt anyone is getting well paid on the unofficial sites, as when they release official translations a lot of people flock to those as they are often higher quality images.

Or possibly they might support one goal, but not know/care about the others. Fox tends to push single issues pretty hard, and the voters probably don't know about the other ones that are less popular.

I read your argument as being that since we aren't quantum leaping ahead with technology, it's a bit of a wash with the pushes for future battery standards. But my point is that this battery update, while not being a 10x in performance, is more likely a 2x and will be viable to scale with pricing decreases as time progresses. I'm in the trucking sector, and one of the things I have noticed about transitioning to electric heavy duties is that a lot of the issues aren't completely on battery density, but rather that there isn't an infrastructure that can charge the batteries at high voltage without beefing up the power grid around stations. If you could instead give a cheap enough battery backup to create a buffer that fills up during lower use hours, then a lot more of the solutions for that could charge ev trucks quickly would make more sense (it's actually what has made the Tesla Semi have such good numbers). It's stuff like this that actually might push the transition, which has to happen, not waiting for next quantum leap.

And don't forget that after they die, some use for it will be found and it becomes the crucial underpinning of wizard society.

I mean, lithium cells were used for fringe use cases 20 years ago, now they are seemingly everywhere. The difference with this tech is that they know it's currently expensive, so are aiming for use cases where the added cost is justifed. Give it 5 years and the tech will more than likely become easier to produce, lowering costs. That and sodium batteries are probably going to dramatically lower cost for grid storage, which should make it easier to have consistent power delivery.

Plus the possibility of an added dick joke.

Unfortunately, it's a new game probably named Deadlock. Not hl3.

Pretty much.

TLDR; Lesbian couple got a third party to donate via artificial insemination, after a few attempts it didn't seem to work, one of the Lesbians (unknown to her partner) had sex with the third party, and either way a kid came from it. The couple later divorced, they were trying to determine the visitation rights, when it comes out that the child might have been conceived in a manner that wasn't from artificial insemination, thus the non-genetic mother was stricken from the birth certificate. Think it left off on both the mothers and third parties were getting custody or something.

It's a lot more rare for sure. Some still do have nice stuff, but it's much, much more of shitshow than it used to be. Unfortunately not many independent thrift stores around me, and the few that are generally have nice deals even less often than goodwill.
