sounds like firecrackers.


That's what DC Link capacitors (inside of variable speed electric motor drives) sound like when they fail/explode. That is if they indeed do have variable speed electric motor drives inside the cars/cabins.

DC link capacitors don't usually smoke anywhere close to that much when they let loose. My guess is a secondary fire in one or more electrical cabinets that spread to other combustibles.

This is only one explanation among many possible ones. msm seems to want to sensationalize everything and get people to believe this is an act of terrorism. Could be, but it does correspond with my experience in the motor drives industry.

Bruh... This CANNOT be healthy, at all. Whatever trend they are trying to set with this, this is not good mentally or physically for most people.




There ARE many good uses for this thing. Doctors can use them to analyze 3D scans of tumors and discussing plans to attack before zapping them with AI guided precision radiation. At some workplaces this can also be useful for coordinating with staff located at various places. But wearing it long term for fashion or constant electronic dopamine delivery is not conducive to health or safety.

ETA: Walking around making all of those hand gestures in front of you to operate the interface makes you look GOOFY AS FUCK YO. Holy shit. LOLOLOL. I'll just sit down at my favorite coffee place and tap the screen on my "ancient" and trusty LG Android smartphone if I need to send a text or do some online shopping thank you!

Well you're dealing with a totally online bank with no physical locations. Why would you expect them to mail statements? If I was going with an online bank I would use someone like Schwab so I had more options for investing.
I'm not going with an online bank.
The Internet, online anything and people are so screwed up now, I want a hard copy.
Just how I roll. I still write checks and pay in CASH. Do not have an IPhone.
I still have some privacy.

If you don't bank with them why did they send you a notice concerning new fees?

There goes their on time / dependability ratings.
 
I'm not talking about shartmart.

Grocery stores operate on pretty thin profit margins.
Walmart

According to recent statistics, the industry generated over $420 billion in sales in 2022, with Walmart leading as the largest supermarket chain in the country.Sep 3, 2023

 

On Wednesday, journalists Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag published part 2 of an expose on the role of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in orchestrating the years-long crusade to frame former President Donald Trump as a Russian plant. The article posted on Shellenberger’s Substack, Public, outlined how intelligence officials fretted over the presence of a classified “binder” in Trump’s possession that former CIA Director Gina Haspel had guarded for years.
traitor.

who was Rachel Corrie and what did she do?

That's what I asked myself and went and found out.

She FAFO.

So... in summary, she was a Stupid bitch?

Tried to stop a bulldozer with her body while protesting.

FAFO describes it eloquently.

My bank is making tons of error; the don't care about any financial problems they cause YOU including overdrafts that they were responsible for, and when you call its pretty obvious where the source of all their "new hires" are. Those individuals just follow algorithms, and don't care if they pick the wrong ones - you can spend hours with them still not addressing the issue - you feel like you are talking to a brick wall, and if the person you are talking to is feeling frustrated they just hang upon you. Just like Amazon and certain major airlines lately too.

Biden adviser calls for grocery chains to bring down their profit margins, as elevated prices still sting​

Lael Brainard: ‘People are fed up with high prices,’ especially for ‘things that they buy on a weekly basis, groceries in particular’​

Several of the stores listed in that list are not at all what I would call a Grocery Store but get labeled "supermarkets".

These are not the same thing dude. Grocery stores are lucky to make 15% profit and it's been that way for many many years.

7-Eleven is not a fucking grocery store lmao. Walmart makes far more money off the overpriced chinesium garbage they sell in the rest of the store. The "grocery" selection at my local Walmart isn't even close to the same selection size as my two local grocery stores.

Why are you trying to split hairs?

It's more like 1.5-3%. Sales volume is where they make the money.

Costco seems to be doing well, financially. You shop there ?
 

Comer being Comer — and I say that as a compliment to the bulldog congressman — he. snarkily said:

Now, I don't know about you. But I don't know anyone in the world whose grandchildren have ever deposited money into a savings account for their elderly grandfather. But now, maybe I'm wrong. But that's something we're certainly looking into.
 
 
"She backed her Tesla into a pond". One would think a Tesla would avoid driving into a pond, especially at a certain level of depth. How bizarre.
You mean like it was hacked lol. Hell the data is in Elon's database. Don't worry they will give this a good leaving alone. Who knows she may have stabbed herself 43 times committing suicide before she drove into that pond. Or worse the Russians tapped the data link from space so we need to send Ukraine money asap

Who is going to pay for their losses?...

The People win again they get to pay the award of the lawsuit. The People are dumber then they look, you have to be able to sue government officials personally to make them pay for their mistakes and misdeeds . The government doesn't make money they steal your money , you can't receive justice from the government unless you have big balls like Sam Adams .
