The current student loan discourse is a good illustration of how the leftist mind can only comprehend 2 states of being: subsidized and banned. The entire continuum between those extremes remains utterly incomprehensible to them.

Best way to sandbox an AI is to put it on a Delta flight – it will have no chance of accessing the Internet!

There’s a house down the street that’s been under construction for over three years. Another person bought a tear-down, but abandoned the project and sold the house after a year of design and permit work. The new owner just started tear-down today. There are multiple other houses in our neighborhood that started and completed construction in less than two years. The trick (in our CA city at least) is to be in the “less than two years” group. But even two years is a long time.

The voting system in California is so comically insecure that a Pakistani was elected to city council in part by registering people who *lived in Pakistan* And this was only discovered incidentally because of an unrelated illegal gambling investigation
California Secretary of State Shirley Weber explained to me why she doesn't support voter ID at the polls, fearing it could "effectively eliminate" vote by mail. But, she said rules could be "tightened up" related to the kind of ID required for voter registration:

FSD v14.3.10 saved my friend from a major accident today after it saw and stopped for a red light runner. Police pulled them over after. FSD can see everything, and so much safer than human drivers. Thank you @Tesla_AI

Giving the neighbors the opportunity to make offers sounds like a positive if the judge or anyone questions your decisions.

I find it very difficult to understand how space can be found for Danny Tommo to remain in custody, yet we are releasing violent offenders early. I simply cannot see how there is any justification for it.

Argentina’s monthly inflation went from 25.5% in Milei’s first month to 1.7% in August 2026. As expected when government stops printing pesos to cover the deficit. Fiscal surplus first, then prices stop sprinting. The “experts” who called this “austerity theater” now have 33 months of INDEC data to explain away.

In 1996 Intel’s Pentium Pro chip design project used 3TB of NFS fileservers, filling a medium-sized server room and costing millions. You just added 60 times the capacity for (probably) the cost of our old electric bill.

In the San Jose area I just got a quote to replace a dishwasher drain line, airgap, and airgap-> disposal line. $1500! 😳 Fine, I cleaned it myself. The company I called previously provided good service. About two years ago they started sending estimators instead of plumbers when you call.

In 1992 me and some mates decided to have a night out at RAF Fairford (we were based just down the road at Brize Norton). After a suitably eventful evening I found myself in the cells……..for longer than the chaps arrested this weekend.

The YL gets more miles per KWh. That will help some.

My understanding is the land for the fire station at Murray and Jenkins was donated by Tektronix Win-win: Tektronix and the neighbors got better fire service

I never noticed this watching on the small screen as a kid, but I saw Space Seed in the movie theater (with Wrath of Khan last month) and multiple people in the audience chuckled during the jump kick.

I find it absolutely incomprehensible that on the day we foiled a terror plot to attack an RAF base in Britain we are still letting undocumented illegal immigrants cross the English Channel.
