The pressure of the water against the door would've prevented her from opening it regardless of the door's mechanical features or power supply issues.

The windows not shattering is absolutely a Tesla design flaw, but there's no way that woman was ever going to open a door from inside a submerged car.

if your goal as a parent is to maximize success of your children.

"Success" is very subjective.

So Rogue is like Dean Pelton in this?

Gay doesn't even begin to cover it.

I agree that it's got to be how young Lemmy skews. No one who has ever bought alcohol at a self-checkout has said, "This is so quick and convenient!"

Sounds like you should sell that house, dude...

There will always be wants and needs that go unfulfilled

That's not what 'needs' means.

For the last 40 years or so, Republican voters have mostly been single-issue voters. They care very passionately about one thing, and will let almost anything else slide as a result. Being in favor of cable fees doesn't matter as long as they're anti-abortion. Being in favor of cutting social welfare programs that those very voters rely upon is fine as long as they're anti-trans.

For the most part, each voter only cares about one or two specific things, and the whole picture doesn't really matter to them.

If the current The Day Before drama is anything to go by, Hello Games could've done a lot less than turn NMS into a decent game.

That's a bad take. The case actually affirmed business judgement rule: the idea that the guy running the company knows how to run it better than the shareholders. It's part of why post-war America is considered the golden age of American manufacturing: Publicly traded companies invested in their employees and wages exploded across the board. A 100 year old court decision isn't the primary driver on a problem that's really only developed in the last forty or fifty years.

My BIL is a Catholic Libertarian. Almost forty and still lives with Mom and Dad, so he never had the brush with reality that your friend went through. He thinks he's politically savvy and always wants "civil debate" with me, but he's utterly insufferable.

I'm not looking forward to Thanksgiving next week.

Future Me has more experience and wisdom than Present Me. There's no reason I should do anything when such a better-suited candidate will inevitably emerge.

I'd love to, but the text fades out after the first paragraph and is replaced with "This post is for members only."
