I believe it is because the activity burns everything, including molecules that build up to eventually cause cognitive diseases.

From what I understand, China’s exports of rare earths have been largely a part of finished components and that’s not been suspended.

Are there any official or unofficial rules about starting a community? Do you have to get the support of your instance first or can you just start one? I can imagine someone wanting to start two or three different themed communities and the instance the user uses having different opinions about hosting one or the other: Being very happy about one but very opposed to another. And keeping an array of profiles on different instances just to avoid upsetting one instance or another wouldn’t be ideal.

Lots of people paying for that mistake today.

It is even worse if you are at the withdraw stage of life (generally retirement) because liquidated shares cannot participate in any later market increase.

I’m a conservative but don’t have strong feelings about gun rights. Not every conservative is conservative for the same reason.

If you can influence others to do so, use the better app. My family, we use Briar.

I don’t think their goal is stability. It is elimination. And the same would be true if the situation reversed. So either that’s what eventually happens or a bigger power steps in and rules them like children.

I’m pretty sure most of those people are dead.

What’s the solution to lasting peace? Restore rule to the Ottomans or British?

I agree, this is bad logic. That said, that’s not what I hear from the current regime when I hear them talking about tariffs. What I hear is them thinking this will force countries to lower barriers to Americans doing business abroad. Once those barriers are lowered, tariffs are reduced or go away altogether. For the record, I do not think this is good policy, but the intent of the policy (at lease as I read it) isn’t to suddenly move all manufacturing back to the United States.

It was about the weaponization of the algorithm whereby China could incite Americans to act against the nation in a time of crisis or war.

I still know a bunch of conservatives who are still boycotting them over the trans bathroom issue.

Is your employer matching some percentage of what you add to your 401k?

Is it possible to skip account creation by installing while not connected to the internet?

I also sort by top six hours but subs related to my profession or religious traditions both get too much outside noise from folks who view posts by ‘all’ and feel welcome to flood subs with comments contrary to the intent of the sub. Active moderation could help but there’s just not good moderation under most subs.

IMO, as much as I dislike Reddit, moderation is terrible here and there’s some niche subs that cannot exist here because of the lack of moderation.

I normally stick with Firefox but, when there’s the need, I use degoogled Chromium.

It might be different with Tesla but most dealerships are independent from the company manufacturing the vehicles. Dealerships typically also run the service shop and have to carry their own insurance.

I wonder if those protesters vandalizing Teslas know this is their big opportunity? Insurance companies insuring auto shops are fewer in number and more selective than those serving the general population. If these trucks were damaged while waiting for repairs, we might witness insurance companies altogether dropping coverage for shops. Without insurance these places will find it difficult to continue existing.
