Do we need extra charging stations when they seem plentiful at every grocery store/Walmart/Target?

Naw, naw, it's cool... see, surely their income went up 30% in 5 years, right?... Right?

jordanlund ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

951 to 1136, Q1 2020 to Q1 2024.

+19.45% from Q1 2020, which doesn't help you if rent is +30% and inflation in general hit +9%.

Q1 2019 was 899, so +26%, a little closer.

But the REAL problem is workers don't see that gain unless they change jobs. Working the same job year after year you're lucky to get 4% per year.

WTF was camera guy doing? He clearly moves the camera as the attack is ongoing. Maybe get up off your ass and do something?

There are actually two very good behavioral books by the same author:

The Hidden Life of Dogs

The Tribe of Tiger

I've had many cats over the years and no two have been the same.

There was the "Evil Psycho Flying Cat" who was a little murder machine. Going after anything that got in the house on legs or wings, turning her attention to ankles when she got bored:

Whisper, who would howl and howl if he didn't get what he wanted, then whisper "meow" in front of people like "Yeah, man, I don't know who was making that noise, clearly it was not me..."

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/d528f408-9a5b-46c7-a69d-c06348be6b67.jpeg

He also demanded his time outside and would express his displeasure by shitting in the bathroom sink if he didn't get enough of it.

Poor Max was terrified of doorways. He couldn't just walk into a room, he would literally hurl himself over the threshold like "floor is lava!"

That internet thing about boxes? Totally true. Want a happy cat? Put out a box.

Cats are obligate carnivores, they HAVE to eat meat, but they will also be DESPERATELY interested in whatever you're eating. Clearly it's better if you have it and they are not subtle about stealing food.

I've been saying this for years now ever since they pulled out of Gamescom and just let Sony have Europe.

When was that? 2016?

I mean he JUST turned 18... I'll give Trump that one... plus, I can't remember how old my kid is either... Coming up on 28 here in a few months.

My kid was tricky because of the date... I couldn't remember if he was turning 18 on the 19th or 19 on the 18th. It was one of those...

But that was 10 years ago now.

Lawyers aren't entering in to remembering how old your kid is, I'm just saying I've been there so I give him a pass on that one. Only that one though. :) The rest of his fuckery is on him.

The DNC convention is in August, and no, they aren't going to swap out a sitting President unless there's a huge medical event between now and then.

RNC is July, that might be what confused you.

Voting 3rd party throws away your vote. Every state is going to either Biden or Trump. Period. There is no viable 3rd party.

So you can put your vote to Biden, or you can help out the guy facing 88 felony charges, wants a war with Mexico, and through Project 2025 would establish an authoritarian state unheard of in American history.

That's what I've been trying to explain to people from the start... Biden needs Jewish support. If he comes out against Israel, he loses that, and the kids supporting Palestine will go "Yeah, but you didn't do it soon enough." Lose/Lose.

Conservative Plan Calls for Dozens of Executions if Trump Wins ( www.thedailybeast.com )

A conservative plan for Donald Trump’s potential transition into the presidency calls for dozens of prisoners to be executed, according to HuffPost. An 887-page plan by Project 2025, led by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, says that if elected, Trump should make a concerted effort to execute the remaining 40...

Even if Trump gets prosecuted for 1/6 before the election, there is ZERO chance it's completed before the election. There will be appeals carrying it on for YEARS.

That being said too, there's nothing in the charges that would disqualify him on conviction. There SHOULD BE, but there isn't.

Ideally I'd like to see Congress get their shit together and get a Constitutional amendment that says "Convicted felons are inelligible".

That would solve the problem right there. Convict him in the Stormy Daniels case, problem solved.

‘We will fight with our fingernails’ says Netanyahu after US threat to curb arms ( www.theguardian.com )

It wouldn't end the war, Israel will keep re-categorizing Palestinians as "the enemy" to justify their extermination campaign.

You have to keep in mind that the reason the Palestinians voted Hamas into power was a direct reaction to Israeli hostility.

It existed before Hamas, and will continue after Hamas.

Study reveals "widespread, bipartisan aversion" to neighbors owning AR-15 rifles ( www.psypost.org )

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that across all political and social groups in the United States, there is a strong preference against living near AR-15 rifle owners and neighbors who store guns outside of locked safes. This surprising consensus suggests that when it...

Deadliest again is not "most prevalent". Yes, that is what gets the attention and makes everyone scared, but they are not as common as the media wants everyone to believe.

I see Bond Arms is working around that by releasing a lever action AR-15. Will be interesting to see where that goes.

It would still run afoul of the magazine size ban, but I expect that to get struck down by the Supreme Court.

Biden's actions are pretty clearly NOT a reaction to the protests.

We know this because the protests have been going on for a while now and Biden took no action whatsoever.

It DOES immediately follow THIS news, and my suspicion is this is what caused the change in policy.

March 27th - Israel uses US supplied bombs to illegally attack Southern Lebanon, killing seven aid workers:

https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/05/07/israel-us-arms-used-strike-killed-lebanon-aid-workers

April 2nd, Biden reportedly "outraged" over the attack that killed seven members of World Central Kitchen.

https://www.reuters.com/world/white-house-outraged-by-israeli-airstrike-that-killed-aid-workers-gaza-2024-04-02/

Now he's saying no, we aren't giving you weapons for Rafa. The last thing he wants is more dead civilians with US supplied bombs.
