Canada and Mexico should not pause their tariffs, and should add 100% export taxes to Canadian energy (so America pays and Canada keeps the money). America cannot keep the lights on without it, we will pay anything to keep it coming, and the Canadians know it, just like Mexico knows we can’t keep food on the shelves without Mexican produce (soon exclusively since American farms can’t find workers to be able to produce produce).

The stupidest trade war in history is an apt name for this fiasco. Every penny doge could ever save has been squandered already with the losses this intentional commercial uncertainty has caused, and the negative effects are just beginning.

Inflation already exploding maybe double digits already. Suddenly maga says “inflation is patriotic”

Gas prices are spiking. Grocery prices spiking double digits, eggs $12! Stock market crashing. China’s international trade pact has gained a dozen (40) nations with all central and South America in talks while they consider trade war with America while switching from using the dollar to using the yuan.

Unemployment exploding unbelievably. Crops rotting in fields because there’s no one to harvest them. Hiring frozen.

Ukraine war still in full effect, with 6 more on the horizon thanks to threats.

We quit the WHO and closed our pandemic response team (again) and forced all public health agencies to stop communicating with the public right as bird flu is emerging as a pandemic.

Child pornographers, the biggest/most prolific drug dealer ever in America who assassinated his rivals, and over 1500 more violent cop killing thugs released from prison to reek havoc across America, many already rearrested for violent armed crimes, one got in a shootout with police and died.

Just 8 days in, and the nation is completely crumbling, the rule of law gone, the economy in freefall, a pandemic starting. The president is on vacation.

If you voted for this and you love America, you should eat your gun.

Seen this one long ago. But I really want one that can have Tesla electric tentacles effect at the wheels when accelerating.

By decree, he has also claimed to have ended FEMA, saying states should take care of themselves, not each other. The south is doomed….California will just withhold federal taxes and pay for itself, and save tens of billions of dollars per year that way, Louisiana alone will be $10 billion per year in the hole or more. All southern states are “takers” from the fed… Enjoy.

Eggs are $9 already and skyrocketing and he completely abandoned the promise to lower grocery prices, now says it’s impossible.

When told his policies are already crashing the economy on live TV by Hannity he answered “I don’t care”.

We will be in a depression this summer, and a real military invasion by Xmas (unless he hands Alaska to Russia and Hawaii to China).

His first plan to stop the Ukraine war….tell Putin he is planning tariffs and sanctions on anything Russia sells the U.S. (clearly not knowing they’ve been in effect for years already, and that Russia hasn’t sold anything to the US in years).

Pardoned more terrorists including those who pleaded guilty to treason/sedition and violence against police.
Some were re-arrested for more violent felonies they committed under a day after release. He invited these convicted anti American criminal thugs to the Whitehouse.
This is exactly what he did in 2020 in Afghanistan before handing the country to the criminal terrorist Taliban (yes, he even invited Taliban leaders to Camp David and the Whitehouse)…a group he seems to look up to. Thank goodness some judges refuse to dismiss with prejudice so they can be retried if law and order ever return to America….unlikely.

Once again, he already dismantled our pandemic response team right as bird flu is emerging in America, and decreed our health agencies cannot make any statements or recommendations but must keep silent and useless. Buy PPE!

His plans to deport every undocumented alien are estimated to cost multiple trillions per year directly just to try and cost the economy up to another $10 trillion per year in lost production…absolutely devastating and turning us into a third world nation overnight.

Is there peace in Ukraine yet? His new stated plan is to ask President Xi of China who is supplying Russia with military equipment and ammo to solve it for him. Russia is publicly mocking him and Smelania (by broadcasting her soft core porn constantly), laughing at his “threats” and giddy at their luck that Biden is gone and their cucked boy is back.

Shocker, these decrees are all directly from project 2025, written by the project 2025 committees, and many Trump doesn’t know what he’s signing since he wasn’t involved in drafting the orders….exactly as we knew would happen.

UPDATE: Decree #1, ending birthright citizenship, shut down by a Republican judge with a hilarious rebuke.

Also fun, 75% of farm workers didn’t show up to work this week. Harvests are essentially cancelled. Prepare for double digit inflation at the grocery store in short order. $9 eggs is just a start.

Just looking at the thumbnail and anyone will know how stupid it is as a transport vehicle. I just want to see it hit a speedbump, pothole or just cornering at speed before the balls fly off. Fun engineering project, perhaps. If the "cups" are deeper than the top half of the ball and can grips it tight, then it'll start to make sense.

The look of the thing reminds me Kaneda's bike in Akira though.

We NEED an IRL Kaneda bike, with all those Nikola Tesla's electric tentacles effects.

The McGurk effect is an auditory-visual illusion that occurs when what you see conflicts with what you hear. For example, if you see someone mouth the sound "ga" while hearing the sound "ba", you might perceive the sound "da".
Explanation
The McGurk effect occurs when your brain combines what you see and hear to create a new sound. This can happen when the visual and auditory components of speech don't match.

I've always wondered... why nobody that got in the pileup honks and create a loud cascading effect to alert the incoming ones and slow down to minimize the carnage?

Is that a thing? Does it help? Is it realistic (understand people are in shock and/or physically hurt, so it's not as easy as what coming out of my mouth)? I'm not sure.

This makes me want to go back and play HL2 Episodes 1 & 2. I know I bought them, but don't remember ever finishing them. HL2 was so technically impressive. Portal 2 was also great, especially the co-op multiplayer. Alyx is a good VR title- it's close to a "killer app" for VR, but not quite there. 1 of the few VR titles compelling enough to keep headset on for more than 1 hour.

Not half-life related, but "old but cool" PC tech from that era: I had a DVD/MPEG2 decoder card that did VGA passthrough, and would replace black pixels with the movie content - so I could watch the Matrix in the background of playing Quake or other FPS (this was a dual PIII-450Mhz). I later installed an ATSC tuner card - one of the first channels that broadcast in HD was Fox, and one of my favorite shows, 24, started to broadcast in HD - and the early days all the makeup artists took advantage of low-res, so as soon as the show went to HD, you could see how fake all the blood, makeup, and other effects were. Hollywood ramped up quickly once the first HDTVs started shipping.
That computer also ran BeOS quite well.

What a terrible release date. I understand the appeal of a christmas release, but ants hibernate!

Obviously not all of them or the sift would pretty much die off, but enough of them to effectively wipe out a colony game.

😂 Nice try, I know you didn’t see a second of it…in reality the CNN town hall was so bad for the dementia riddled coward who skipped it and good for Harris that Harris converted multiple maggots on live tv, showing them it’s possible and you won’t “suddenly become black” or “become a woman” if you support Harris like your morons have been saying all summer. 😂

CNN “turned”!?! 😂 CNN turned maga in 2020, you know this but without “even cnn says” you have no one to quote so you ignore it. Every time you say it it’s like you are putting on a sign saying “I’m a dishonest baby” and wearing it all day. If you actually watched the CNN analysis you would know it was 75%+ positive, 95%+ positive if you culled the maga morons who would never under any circumstances praise her performance. 100%+ positive if she was judged the same way the twice impeached felonious rapist and fascist pedophile is.

Funny you skipped the non maga commentary discussing the double standards those idiots are applying…summed up well with “you accept him being lawless but insist she must be flawless”. One holds a town hall with Trumpists live and converts many, one has a Q&A session with only vetted maggots but still with no questions just swaying to music for 45 minutes in a stupor.

She summed up the entire race and difference between the candidates perfectly by saying…

“Donald Trump will have an enemies list, and I will have a “to do” list.”

Nothing could be more true. One campaign is 100% grievance and scapegoating with fake issues like CRT and threats to use the military against political rivals (and just spent 4 years proving it), one is focusing on solutions to real issues that actually effect American freedoms and the economy.

Hate to tell you, but the flood of fake right wing polls aren’t going to save him (the same fake polls that predicted the ‘22 red tsunami). Real polls are putting the results at as good as 55% Harris-30% Fascist Felon. Not a single reputable poll has the felon ahead more than the margin of error, and most show her ahead well above the margin of error. I know, you didn’t pass algebra, why am I talking statistics that are clearly too advanced for you? Maybe someone will explain it.

Such a sad little boy. Completely lost the ability to think for yourself, or at all, now you throw tantrums with cut and paste arguments that were losing arguments when they were first attempted and by the time you regurgitate them are debunked in every way and make you look ridiculous. Every lie you attempt relies on your listener to be as ignorant as you are, and that’s nearly impossible without being in a coma so your attempts fall flat every single time.

Derp!

“Isn’t a biological reason for this to happen.”?
How about self preservation.
For simplicity, say you drowned and get cpr. If your brain doesn’t try to restart, cpr wouldn’t work.
It’s a good assumption that brain activity after death is related to the body trying to live. That trait would be evolutionarily advantageous enough to be ubiquitous. Getting one last trip down memory lane is not an evolutionary advantage, it’s a side effect.

This is called Foley kids. It’s how sound work was done before everything was digitized into files. Live radio shows and silent movies made use of these artists starting around 1914, the first (known) being Jack Foley who added sound effects to the first “talkie” (the first non silent movie) because microphones of the day couldn’t record ambient sounds and dialog, hence the name.

Not a bad 'best of'. Fuller compilation with all these:
