@EUhobgoblin @AlHendiify After they were caught, investigated, & found to have fleeced consumers for over a billion dollars (which they never got back) you mean?

@pleachchapel @AlHendiify What are egg prices now? Have they stayed at the peak?
English
They don’t pay rent
They don’t pay executive salaries
They don’t pay taxes
You don’t pay taxes on purchases
You have guaranteed access
Prices are at cost so when price on the farm goes down the instore price falls at the same rate, unlike in privately owned stores

I still don’t understand d the case for public grocery stores tbh
English
@AlastairMayer @StephenFleming *Any* g-force impacts your ability to use a touchscreen. This... is not difficult...
English
@pleachchapel @StephenFleming If Gemini 8 had had the technology for a touchscreen, it probably wouldn't have got a stuck thruster (at least, not for long).
English
Victor Glover explains why physical controls are better than touchscreens:
“If I’m doing something where I’m so busy that I cannot stop and look down at my hands to fly, this is the biggest difference. I have to touch the screen, which means I have to look, because if I touch right next to that arrow, it doesn’t work. In Orion, I have a feel. I don’t have to look. I can focus on precision because I can look out the window the whole time.”
Eric Berger@SciGuySpace
On Orion’s reentry: “And then there was a point—there’s something that I feel that I am not ready to say to the public yet.” arstechnica.com/space/2026/04/…

@EUhobgoblin @AlHendiify I am begging people to have a longer memory than a goldfish about this stuff:

@pleachchapel @AlHendiify What do you think happens when the price of an input goes down now, exactly
English
@EUhobgoblin @AlHendiify They operate at cost. I'm not sure what part is hard for you.
Kroger does not operate this way, they operate for profit. Executive bonuses, future investment, etc., none of which are present here.
When the commodity price goes down, the cost in the store goes down.
English
@pleachchapel @AlHendiify So youre picturing a magical world in which government groceries would raise prices when supply goes up and keep them fixed when it goes down?
Spell it out man
English
@AlastairMayer @StephenFleming You do realize there is some crazy g-force in these things, correct?
If Gemini 8 had a touchscreen, everyone would have died. Period.

@StephenFleming What is it you need to look at if not the display? If the display isn't showing you what you need, it's designed wrong.
English
@EUhobgoblin @AlHendiify I could see how you could get that impression if you do not know how to read
English
@pleachchapel @AlHendiify So, basically the last point that was listed above as something that govt owned grocers would do?
English
@AlHendiify This is a horse/cart issue. If they believe a word of this (they don't), it should start immediately, because people are already being fired in the name of AI (which is also largely bullshit, but there should be a price tag for officially using that excuse *NOW*).
English
This is a lie they will feed you to get you to accept AI, then an economic crisis will show up and suddenly it’s “how will we pay for that hand out, commie 😏”
Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸@AndrewYang
It’s clear that AI will wind up funding universal income. Let’s make that happen ASAP.
English
@mweinbach @jyothiwrites So "cutting edge AI" means when it can press a button for you on your desktop?
English
@pleachchapel @jyothiwrites No that’s just how some people take it
English
If you don’t have a Mac and are trying to keep up with cutting edge AI, you literally can’t.
Everything is Mac only or Mac first.
This is a huge deal. Leading AI products are essentially built for Mac, with everything else being an afterthought.
This is significant
English
@mweinbach @jyothiwrites You said "cutting edge AI," which would be... model development, no?
English
@Amenttttt @justcuuper And who doesn't want to live in a city occupied by foreign ghost money instead of people, amirite?
English
@justcuuper Isn’t this a net $ loss for the city which results in less money for education and services?
Even if they dodge state taxes theres still a lot of money generated from Saudis and Chinese people buying empty brownstones
English
@ModerateKyle @justcuuper They literally never shut the fuck up about it
English
@justcuuper Idk a single republican mad about it… they might be criticizing it, because they understand the long term outcome. But republicans in large part aren’t concerned with the cancer that is NYC. They just aren’t.
English
@JillFilipovic That's not how this works. That money belongs to those people. The government cannot take it just for funzies. They need to make an argument *for* it. The argument against any tax is "that's mine."
English
What exactly is the argument against a pied-a-terre tax for second (or third / fourth / fifth) homes worth more than $5 million owned by people who do not even live in the city? It just seems like such a glaringly obvious common-sense policy.
English
@CaptainLibDaddy @valdrblindi Oh no the Blue Check brigade is here to drop an aggrandized "actually you're wrong & I'm right" with no further explanation.
Crazy, that never happens
English
@valdrblindi You assumed a lot with this statement still time to delete. Thought you cooked but you didn't.
English
Liberals will literally look at you with a straight face and say "proletariat means poor"
mollynew@FearInherent
Also imagine looking at a room full of Yale students and calling them "proletariats"
English
@SchneiderAU @rookisaacman @AeroBigMike @NASAAdmin I'm surprised you can find the caps lock with his dick in your mouth
English
English
This is a huge understatement
@NASAAdmin bet that EUS would’ve taken over a year to build- EACH while expecting the SLS core stage to beat that cadence (all under the same contractor)
Note that SLS & EUS share the same production tooling between the core stage & EUS’ LH2 tank
go4gordon 🌕@go4gordon
It amuses me that people think this "standardized" version of SLS will increase cadence alone, while lacking a second tower and funding to make it possible. Call your reps, this can still be stopped. #ArtemisII
English
@r3a9an_k_ @SchneiderAU @rookisaacman @AeroBigMike @NASAAdmin Can we put Elon on the next one as a show of confidence?
English
@pleachchapel @SchneiderAU @rookisaacman @AeroBigMike @NASAAdmin the two most recent flights didn't actually
English
@RadGuy1000 @AlSultan_Meriam @ZacksJerryRig @RobGrieves @Tesla My bad dog. Parody is difficult when I see actual people saying this shit on a daily basis
English
@pleachchapel @AlSultan_Meriam @ZacksJerryRig @RobGrieves @Tesla Why are you trying to spoil a decent joke? I do agree the fans will accept Elon’s point. They always do, without question.
English
How the fuck is this allowed but a small car with Supervised self driving isn't?
Joakim 🌹🇳🇴🇪🇺@joakial_
For the first time in Norwegian history, a bus will carry passengers in regular traffic without any human behind the wheel. The first pilot without a safety driver was tested Friday, and if all goes as planned, anyone can ride driverless buses starting in May.
English
@RadGuy1000 @AlSultan_Meriam @ZacksJerryRig @RobGrieves @Tesla None, because they would be accepting his point in that scenario. I swear, basic middle school cognition is above y'all
English
@AlSultan_Meriam @ZacksJerryRig @RobGrieves @Tesla When Tesla adds LIDAR some day how many posts do you think you’ll have to delete?
English
@fourdaloww @Drake77309767 @supremeMilo @PushDemsLeft I think it should be illegal for any American politician to be bought out by a foreign country because that's treason. You fucking moron.
English
@pleachchapel @Drake77309767 @supremeMilo @PushDemsLeft Yes you were talking about that, actually.
You hate corporate and Israeli donors, right? Well the greens don’t have any, and you still haven’t been supporting them. Why not?
English
The DNC literally admitted in court that they rigged the primaries against Bernie, and a judge agreed.
This was settled a decade ago, why are you still playing dumb in this big year 2026?
tré easton@treeaston
Bernie broke y’all’s brains in many ways, but I am BEGGING for y’all to let go of the belief that the only reason he lost two successive primaries was because shadowy gatekeepers rigged it against him. Voters voted. He got fewer of them. In “the contest of ideas,” his lost.
English
@fourdaloww @Drake77309767 @supremeMilo @PushDemsLeft No one was talking to you, or about that, as usual
English
@pleachchapel @Drake77309767 @supremeMilo @PushDemsLeft Then your quarrel is with yourself and everyone else who is of voting age that hasn’t been choosing the Green Party
