So like you would enjoy a green women with three boobs?

Hey, I'm no Captain Kirk....but....

he general population doesn't really care about the human experience of art and music, and often just want content to consume to make the pain go away for a while.

??

Listening to music to make "pain go away"....is this really a thing?

Do you know how many trans athletes there are in the whole United States that are competing?

5. Five.

Even if that low number is correct...

That is 5 too many.

This is a zero tolerance subject.

Geez, I long for the days of common sense, what a short 10 or so years ago when you never heard this stupid bullshit being put forth for any type of serious consideration.

Don't worry the USA will catch up with the rest of the world one day.

I"m guessing that by then I'll be old enough to where my driving days will be behind me....

I have a question for you. Did you work a food service or retail job while you were in college?

Actually...yes. Hell I was working in the food service industry when I was 16yrs old going forward....why do you ask?

I know it is en vogue to trash on trans youth in organized sports. But how many actual, concrete examples of "men dominating their daughters sports" can you actually produce? I know it is not zero, but is it even as many as 10 trans girls below Division I NCAA level that are affecting outcomes in competition? And even if it was more than 10, I don't see how that qualifies as "suffering under the tyranny

Even 1 is too many

I"m just glad there's no "push" for EV "motorcycles".....

I love my ICE bike.....and hopefully will till the end of my days.

Can't wait for summer heat to lift a bit and good Fall riding weather hits.....

We're already there. The average city commuter can easily just do a single fast charge once a week, and unlike a gas car, you can just find a charger that's near something else you'd be doing anyway, like at a grocery store, mall, or down town, and your total 'charging time,' defined as 'the amount of time you, personally, have to devote to the process once you roll up to the dispenser' is 'thirty seconds to plug the car in and tap your payment card' and 'thirty seconds to unplug the car and close the charging port.'

I'm curious, where do you live where all these public places like grocery stores, malls and "down town" have chargers out for public use?

Certainly no where I've lived or travel regularly.....

All is that is needed for mass adoption of electric cars in the USA, is to open the market to China, with no tariffs. If America is so great, let them in. I was born in Minnesota, and am an American, but I do not agree with these Tariffs, and Musk, and Trump. So... Open up the markets. Let the free markets decide what is best for consumers.

Sorry, but FUCK CHINA.

They are our enemy and giving them yet another foothold in our economy and infrastructure is just a BAD idea all around.

For me....the SOUND of the M is half the fun, it lets you know when you're typing, etc.

Silent is a deal killer for me on this one.

It's basically like how an electric motorcycle has exactly NO lure for me and most people that ride bikes....the sounds, smells, rumble and vibrations are half the fun of the experience.....I WANT to change gears manually, etc...makes you feel more connected.

To me, same with the keyboard....sounds and feel give me a large part of the experience.

Last I looked this week....the numbers look pretty good.

Market is up...consumers spending and other numbers is up and looking good...

I don't see all the doom and gloom ya'll keep throwing out there like chicken little....?

most likely resulting in a decades long crash of the US economy.

So many people predicting doom and gloom .....yet last numbers I've seen show the US economy doing very well, market up, consumer index looking good, etc....

To me, the future is kind of 'scary' in this way: we will all become consumers. There won't be any outstanding people, who have a trait that many people adore. There will be no Humphrey Bogart, nor a Michael Jackson. There will just be AI's cranking out material, and the top 0.1% of randomly generated "art" will be appreciated. Somehow, it "feels" de-humanizing

I dunno...I mean, AI can't perform a live concert....unless everyone gives up on going to see live performances ,...music from people won't die...

Until today, vacuum tubes are virtually extinct other than for restoration of old equipment.

Well, tubes DO still sound the best for audio related amplifiers and pre-amps.....for stereo and for guitar amps.....

Stereos that "glow" rule!!

I prefer subtitled movies

It's simpler for me...I just don't watch any foreign movies....if it isn't in English, I just move on....
