Much of the mechanical business in the legs was exposed so that you could see how the joints and pushrods worked,

FOD damage central.

It’s a brutal message to westerners who are whining about Chinese dominance in electric cars, claiming it’s ‘‘unfair’’

That’s the Chinese quality insurance system.

That only applies of the quality of the product hurts Chinese people. Cheap mass market crap for westerners isn’t gonna be held to such standards.

No we don’t. Outside of rich assholes who stand to profit, not a single American wants this. We are just too stupid to handle the conman who tells us to our face that he’s going to ruin is.

There is a line from “Going Postal” which sums it up amazingly, but I can’t find the quote. Something to the effect of “I tell them what I am, I show them how the cards are marked, and they smile and nod to each other, and think themselves fine fellows for doing business with me.”

It’s infuriating. We could use a Vetrinati just now.

Which part?

Funny they are able to dig up footage from three years ago, but when they empty a magazine into a man laying on the ground with his hands cuffed behind him, they can’t seem to find the video.

We no longer have one. Our elected leader is gone rogue.

Besides, our current leader has never received the majority of the popular vote, and our voting turnout has never been as much as half the populace. In my lifetime, no president has ever received so much as 60% of the popular vote.

The theory is good, but any idea that any President is representative of what the US people want is sunny not true, verging on impossible.

Because the US Army is planning to deliver parts and ammo for 70 different custom rifles to all its bases and outposts.

The logistics challenges would be incredible.

And if they are the children of lesbians, then it’s an eternity of “go ask your mom.”

people don’t need a guide when using a chat bot that tells them how they should treat and interact with it.

Then why are people always surprised to find out that chat bots will make shit up to answer their questions?

People absolutely need a guide for using a chat bot, because people are idiots.

So say we again!

We hope. Whoever actually pushes the buttons might not understand the proper order of things.

Ah, I see it now. Had to open it.

Thanks for the heads up.

What is BD in this context?

He may be, but this is a very US centered post.

You know they don’t let us take our guns home, right?

On this, I think we can agree.

Worthless shitstains.

I didn’t used to hate old people, but I’m learning to.

So clearly he’s not getting his head around the idea that China is willing to cut us off if we start making demands.

Either that, or he’s trying to gain leverage for the tariff talks, and only has the one idea.
