I always want to point out that the same people complaining about "woke" things... Were the ones constantly saying "wake up people" with whatever conspiracy theory grasped their homunculus brains for the week.

They were telling everyone to wake up, and are now surprised that people did.

Now, I could be wrong (not fucking likely), but I'm going to believe the country being invaded when they say their attacker with the long history of intentionally attacking civilians is the perpetrator.

Possibly, but none of those bought judges matter unless it ends up in their specific court. That's why they've been trying to install as many of their own as possible.

You just know that's going to be exhibit 1 for the defense.

Fucking fascist Nazi man baby doesn't like when advertisers do what he tells them, and then continues to do so when he realizes that was a bad idea.

The thing is that the Starship issue really isn't that big a deal. There is always an FAA investigation after every spacecraft or aircraft flight anomaly.

It's not the first time and definitely won't be the last that a craft will fail to get to orbit, especially experimental ones like Starship units current iterative form.

The bigger question with the Starship anomaly is whether the active flight routes in that area during the launch window were normal or unexpected. Closer to the launch site there are large restricted areas, and launches are negotiated ahead of time and paths well known. Planes aren't normally under the direct flight path for that exact reason.

Ah yes, just what we need right now... FEWER controllers in an industry that's already short-staffed, and with two very recent fatal plane crashes. Perfect fucking idea.

Not all of the factories produce all of the models. This is true for basically all vehicle manufacturers.

Probably some exceptions for smaller and new EV companies that only have 1-2 models.

Hitler was a drug addict and the trains didn't run on time.

German trains still don't run on time. Can't blame that one on the Nazis, that's just a German thing.

This has been obvious to anyone paying attention for the last 20 years. The Democratic party started courting billionaires for donations just like the Republicans and stopped giving a shit about anything else.

There are a few Dems in Congress that try to work within the system to accomplish actual change. But the vast majority generally just follow the party and work towards the same goals, and a few break away occasionally when it suits them. The Dems have not been actively fighting against the shift to the right for decades. They helped shift the entire country further to the right until we now have open fascism, we allowed an attempted insurrection to go unpunished, and a 34x convicted felon in the White House, and that's apparently acceptable. The Democratic party establishment is 100% ok with helping to facilitate it.

There are plenty of step-by-step guides to run Deepseek locally. Hell, someone even had it running on a Raspberry Pi. It seems to be much more efficient than other current alternatives.

That's about as openly available to self host as you can get without a 1-button installer.

Am I supposed to hold owners accountable?

Yes. Don't go there. Don't support businesses that exploit their workers. Just because it's legal that doesn't make it moral. Slavery was legal as well, we got rid of that shit (mostly, still 100% legal for prisoners).

Your exact logic supports slavery. Might want to think about that.

A couple issues with this take every time it's mentioned.

1. That isn't on a per-hour basis. That is based on a usually weekly or bi-weekly cycle depending on your state. So if someone made a lot of reported tips on Saturday night, effectively making a couple hundred per hour, and no tips the entire rest of the week, they might still make the overall minimum wage for the week, effectively working 30+ hours for $2.13 an hour (federal tipped minimum) instead of $7.25 (federal minimum) or more depending on the state.

They're making on average of a good amount, but most of that work is for shit pay no one would ever consider doing at that pay rate. It is very good money during that busy time, but anyone that's ever worked food service knows busy times like that are an insane amount of work in comparison.
