@leilamechoui Many people still don't know that the US is a net producer of oil and gas and that's with constrained production at the federal level.
Biden veto'd an expansion on the North Slope proposed by ConocoPhillips.

interesting. The clearest thing to me is that this shows that the USA doesn't want/need movement through the Strait that badly. High energy prices are more relevant to Europe and the developing world. The USA is so rich that it will not hurt them that much.

Just as with previous rounds of "negotiations," it appears the Trump crew showed up demanding Iran capitulate. Only this time Vance tagged along with Witkoff and Jared. But the result is the same: "They have chosen not to accept our terms." So basically another fake "negotiation"

@GordMagill The long nose Pete is the best looking semi on the road IMO. I lived in a small sleeper T680 for half of a year. It was very cozy. Haven't slept as well as I did in that truck now that I live in a townhouse.

@comma_ai I drove with the Comma 2 for years in my old VW Golf. I got a new car and didn't miss it so I didn't install another one. As long as I'm legally liable for any accident caused with the vehicle I'm driving, it doesn't remove the stress of operating a vehicle.

@Indian_Bronson @KatieMiller I think I was 24 years old when I was promoted from junior to senior engineer at Fortune 500 tech company. I had all the money I needed to buy a house and settle down. I didn't have anyone else to provide for. I often think back to how my life would have been different if I did.

@KatieMiller Even further: few men will ever work as hard as when they have children.
If we want to be really serious, we need to - even if it means treating men and women differently in terms of expected education and career growth - encourage marriage & parenthood before 25.
English
Men want to be the protectors of their family.
Children shouldn’t be delayed for careers - they are the bonds of society.

Even if Trump wants to stop the war, "the military won't let him," prof. Jiang tells Jimmy Dore. Predicts escalation to ground forces and a national draft. Says National Guard deployment planned across the US by April to enforce compliance from young people who refuse to fight.

spot-on illustration of how our ruling, bombing Epstein class’ vision of “freedom” is not about the people who live in a country but rather “can I turn the whole world into my own poor-free St. Moritz”

My wife’s parents met skiing right outside Tehran It’s *way* too early for this But I’m ready for a day of skiing in the Alborz And then some après ghormeh sabzi + kebab Followed by some chai

@ZapGropper @aidannonx Kamala would have closed it as well. The dysfunction was too obvious in major cities they would have had no choice. Little difference between the two candidates which has been the case my entire life.
English
@aidannonx The border will be open again in four years. What difference does closing it for the blink of an eye make.
English
@aidannonx Inflation was rampant towards the end of trump 1. It's still high today and increasing. Border isn't open now but we're still maxing H1b's. It would have closed with Kamala anyways because the dysfunction was so obvious.

@Indian_Bronson @extradeadjcb I don't understand your attachment to Trump and Co. This weekend is a disaster for his admin. No other way to spin it. I've never voted in, or cared for the outcome of a presidential election in my life. This weekend reminds me that was one of the better decisions of my youth.
English
@extradeadjcb The Mexican cartels should take note.
Iraq was a complete debacle & the moral opposite as a target in many ways of what the fentanyl pushers represent. Nothing would be too severe.

He's talking about Unrestricted Warfare
Hostilities that do not meet obsolete procedural definitions of "acts of war", but that kill & harm Americans at the same scale as a war, & in pursuit of the same geopolitical objectives

@Jonathan_Blow Read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K Dick
English
I am giving up on this book after 50 of 200 pages. What should I read instead?
English
@ThomasCyr777 Can't stand Andrew Tate. It's an indictment of modern media that this guy has any audience at all amongst men.
Didn't like the Iceberg Slim book either. Tossed it after a few pages. Can only read so many lines about fatherless men with mommy issues taking it out on women.

@Indian_Bronson @visegrad24 He didn't bungle anything he's doing exactly what he was hired to do: Make a mass spectacle of deportations that aren't happening. His job is to appease Trump's supporters by making them think deportations are happening when they're not.
English
@visegrad24 Miller, of all people, saying this a year into the admin completely ignoring then bungling any mass deportation of illegal aliens is so darkly comical I almost can't believe it's real:

Stephen Miller: “Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They can’t defend Greenland. They can’t control its territory. Under every understanding of 500 years of law about territorial control, to control a territory you have to be able to defend it”

@Indian_Bronson @dianalokada If you're coming from the NE, recommend getting a water filter rated for chloramine. South Florida has to use heavy amounts of chloramine in the drinking water because of the heat. Tap water has slightly less total chlorine than pool water here.

@dianalokada When I first moved to Miami I asked the leasing person showing me around it in unit laundry and pools were common there and they looked at me as one might to a starving African child who asks if you can eat food every day.

@Jonathan_Blow Play Soma. Phenomenal story game with casual puzzles.
