The average age of cars on the road in 1986 was 7.6 yrs. In 2025 it was 14.5 yrs. Vehicle survivability has been increasing for decades. A car you buy today can easily be expected to last 5 more years than anything you bought before the turn of the century. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Sigh, I guess it’s time to get out the old drone hammer again.

A Stiletto hammer. The professional’s choice for smashing killbots since 1849.

We tried the carrot (Biden), but I’m afraid we might be stuck with the stick and it is a super simple message.

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you. Well maybe not that shocked.

Yep, May it is.

Hahaha is right. Enjoy your 0.1 sq km safe zone Vlad.

Is this prediction still accurate or do we just need to shift it to the right by 2 months?

Goldman Sachs’s amazingly bad prediction of how quickly tanker traffic would return to normal in the Strait of Hormuz.

ThrowingSchlitz@throwingschlitz· Apr 8

If it is 10-15 total ships over two weeks that’s basically the current rate at which tankers have been transiting the strait since the start of the war. If it is 10-15 per day that would be a small increase, but that’s not how I read the post.

Can we get Fletcher to repo all his shit after he loses and goes bankrupt?

Perhaps what Kid Rock is really upset about is that Fletcher from Pennywise came out to visit that summer, Pennywise was not on the tour. Fletcher confronted Kid in Asbury Park, NJ and tore his gold chain off his neck and threw it away. Now, this was definitely an immature move but it was hilarious at the time and many felt deserved.

I'm just going to stop reading and assume everything was fine after this part.

From The Crisis of the Old Order: 1919-1933

By midsummer 1929, these developments began to be discernible in production and price indexes. Industrial production reached its height in June and dropped off in July; employment rose till July, building began to fall off, and, week after week, wholesale commodity prices dropped with ominous regularity. In August the Federal Reserve Board strengthened deflationary tendencies by finally agreeing to raise the discount rate to 6 per cent.

But the stock market, riding on the impetus of half a dozen years of steady increase, paid little attention to the indexes. Early in September Stock Exchange price averages reached their highest point of all time. AT&T was up to 304; General Electir up to 396, having more than tripled its price in eighteen months. By the beginning of October, brokers' loans - an index of margin buying - topped the $6 billion mark. Business leaders meanwhile competed with each other in expressions of optimism, and Washington displayed no concern.

A little friendly advice from the IRS.

The IRS says you only need to keep tax records for 3-7 years, unless you file a fraudulent return, in which case you should keep them indefinitely.

Al Jazeera is quoting the same CBS News journalist Alan He.

AL JAZEERA

Senate seat in the upcoming elections from the Green Party, was heard shout-ing, "No one wants to fight for Israel", as multiple security officers pushed him out of the room.
A video clip posted by CBS News journalist Alan He showed Senator Tim Sheehy of Montana, also a US veteran, helping the Capitol Police in lifting and pushing McGinnis out of the room. He was later quoted by CBS as saying that "decided to help out and deescalate the situation"

Sounds like a winning tactic to me.

Waging a good war: A military history of the civil rights movement, 1954-1968:

Jubilation in the jail
The next step brought a powerful tactical inversion: The protesters welcomed jail.
This is worth pausing to consider, because it represented a fundamental cultural shift. White bystanders were surprised to see the students who were being put in paddy wagons singing as they shuffled along. They seemed elated. This was a decisive moment for the pro-testers. Lawson had taught that redemption and freedom came from directly challenging an evil system, refusing to cooperate with it any lon-ger. Being jailed for mounting such a challenge, he taught, was a badge of courage, a visible outward sign of an inward change in mentality.

The NASCAR circuit in Chicago was almost nothing but 90 degree corners. Yes I know NASCAR not Indy, but that series isn’t exactly known for circuits with sharp corners either, so they could definitely do it if they wanted to.

Anyone remember when he was talking about this same bullshit last winter and then forgot about it all summer? I can’t imagine it doesn’t come back around again. My only question is how long will it take.

Winter will always come for them.

So speedy was the German retreat that they left their dead unburied behind them. Here dead Nazis are shown stacked up like so much cordwood- each body frozen hard as iron by the bitter winter cold. Each body has its identifying cross. That cross that would have gone over the grave if the Nazis had had time to hack a final resting place out of the soil.

It’s cool, Trump answers everybody’s call. It’s like a little treat for him. I don’t see why there would be any problems with this at all.

"Who's calling?" Trump asked when he answered our call one morning in late March from the country club he owns in Bedminster, New Jersey. (It was a fair question; it could have been almost anyone.)

The draw of the phone is simple: Trump likes to call people. He likes to be called. Unknown numbers come with a thrill akin to putting a coin in a gumball machine and waiting to see which flavor rolls out.
Surrendering the phone would be inconvenient, limiting, and so he keeps it. As for any efforts to control him and his cellphone use, "I think people gave up on that years ago," one adviser told us, adding that "probably a ton" of people have Trump's personal number.

Well the tech bros did arbitrarily intervene by turning off the AFU’s comms. But don’t worry, they would never do something like that to us and we should totally trust them.

There are some risks to tying America's military more closely to the tech-heavy private sector. Companies don't always act in the country's national interest. Elon Musk infamously limited the Ukrainian military's access to its Starlink satellites, preventing them being used to help in a battle with Russian forces in 2022. Private companies are also easier for adversaries to penetrate and influence than the government.
