If America and Mexico [started] an all [out] “WAR” against the cartels [what would it] look like?

It’s a joke sensitive toes.

How would it vote?
I’d bet it’s all in on whoever supports more fossil fuels.

It’s got nothing to do with EVs.
It’s all cars made in the last 6-8 years.

First: your comment appears to be a reply to them not me. I think that’s where the confusion came from.

Second: You seem to be conflating listening to ideas with supporting them.

Third: Blocking places with bad ideas doesn’t silence the people there or eliminate their ideas. It contributes to their isolation and echo chamber. Often more then yours. You in fact end up helping make them worse. Which of course is worse for everyone.

The former often feels like the later.
Even more so when you’re not used to it.

Hear what?

Building an echo chamber isn’t something done intentionally. Well… Sometimes it is.
It’s most often created by avoiding people you find annoying, toxic, etc. As long as you keep up that reasoning you eventually only interact with people who mostly agree with you. You’re blinding yourself to counter opinions. The definition of an echo chamber.

According to Google, the idea of replacing current tools with open-source programs would not contribute to economic growth.

Is Google seriously arguing that the money these nations save can’t be added to their GDPs?
That’s what it sounds like. Or am I confused?

Matrix is the federated alternative.

Do you have Barbeque?

Do people think culture is dead?
I haven’t heard this thesis before

Try it yourself.
Have someone switch between them for you.
Bet you can’t tell either.

Yes.
This is not an example.
Check out “The Mar a lago Look”, or “Mar a lago Face”.

And the 2025 look has a lot of contouring makeup…
I think…

It would mean the server owner can almost certainly read everything. Though it may not be in plain text. It could be encrypted on the server. But the owner would need to have the keys to decrypt and read everything so it all works.

That’s part of my thinking. New cars aren’t average.

Edit:
With some research I found that car sales total market is about 70/30 used vs new. Taking that into account the new average is just over $32k, rather than $49k.

That’s your judgement of your food. It’s natural for you to have a number of biases to favor your own cooking. Most notably the 4 hours of effort it takes you.

But home cooking isn’t generally that. It’s the 20-40min one puts in right after getting home from work. Comparing your most intensive 4h hours of effort against something a restaurant cook does absent mindedly isn’t really a comparison. If they put in your effort you wouldn’t have a chance.

Cheeper sure. Not a chance it’s better in blind taste tests. That’s all confirmation bias from you putting in the effort to make it yourself. You can’t be an objective judge of your own food.

If your food were really that much better than everyone else’s you’d be able to make a fortune with your own restaurant. And if you enjoyed it, you might be happier doing that for work instead of whatever you currently do.

$1k/month for a car isn’t normal. That has to be substantially rounded up from the average. I just got a new EV. $450 payment, $110 insurance. Electricity costs me about $35 more. Even accounting for maintenance I couldn’t fudge the number to $675mo. To reach $1k you’d need a rather expensive vehicle.

But I do agree with the principle here. It would be nice to live in a walkable area where I don’t need a car.
