Meanwhile I got into the emergency room in under a minute recently and paid a $25 copay last time I had a health crisis. And my eye specialist for my rare eye condition sees me whenever I'd like. How are the stabbings going btw?

Familiar? Yes. Do we care? Not in the slightest.

Are there any good countries at this point?

I haven't watched a movie in a theatre in over ten years. I don't plan on breaking that streak anytime soon.

I guess my extended family was poor, I have never experienced this. And I'm not quite that old, grew up in the 70s. The most I got for allowance was .0.25/week but there were a ton of weeks where it was zero.

If hardware were cheap it might have gone a little better. Like I would love to build a new beast gaming rig (dual boot Linux and W11) but component prices are stupid and my W10 rig is perfectly fine.

Yeah, despite their low sales I see them constantly. But I live in a really conservative area where most people think Musk isn't far enough to the right. I travel through a lot of rural areas all over the country and I think more rednecks would buy them but it isn't as reliable as a twenty year old diesel truck. Now that they're selling much cheaper than at the beginning they seem to be trickling out.

The Bronco had massive failures as soon as people started getting their hands on them. Sales went crazy at first but then crashed through the floor. There's a Ford dealer across from my work that has like 85 of them on the lot and they barely sell now.

The comment currently has 7 people who agree and I'm one of them.

I suspect it would not have been a huge success, but it would have done significantly better if all the political BS hadn't been involved. Whatever though, it's in the history books now.

I don't know, when you're living in Minnesota and it was -40 a couple of weeks ago and it suddenly hits 30F, everyone is in shorts and T-shirts, it feels warm. And if you're in Florida and it hits 30F ever, it feels cold. It's definitely subjective. But it remains true that the US southwest has the record for the hottest weather recorded on earth, so far. That is objective.
