US interest rates have been historically some of the lowest anywhere. And there's nations with very high interest rates that don't have the same housing cost problems...

Regarding the MGs, I believe the design is still done in the UK, which explains the style. And from my understanding a lot of of the really good looking Chinese cars are actually designed by European design shops (Italian, Swedish etc). It

Then drive some Schitty Chevy, what do I care. The rest of us need reliable affordable transportation that won't boil the oceans over. The Chinese are willing to make it, that is a good thing (+ they haven't bombed anyone for quit

There's nothing lazier than a whataboutism claim. If we're okay with Chinese made phones and other electronics, then let's give their cheap EVs a chance instead of worrying about a plethora of other hallucinated *isms. Anyway

The big 3 absolutely have an inferior product. Just rode in a new gas Cherry Tiggo, I'd compare it to a Hyundai in terms of value/features, but even a bit better. No American car in that class comes even close. And I rode in one 1

What's funny is the new owners of MG make a pretty nice car (reliable and good looking): https://www.mgcyberster.co.uk

Lard is fine as is pork, it’s the sugar and carbs.

How are you running it with opencode, any tips/pointers on the setup?

by cpursley 6mo ago
Any chance you might consider open sourcing this?

If you're using Elixir (or don't mind running a separate Elixir service), we've built what is effectively a clone of the oAuth part of Nango (formally Pizzly). Drop into any Elixir project and get full oAuth management out of

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. The scariest one is the fertilizer situation which means less productive harvests, which means hunger.

And how exactly do you think all of those agricultural products are produced? They require an insane amount of diesel fuel and nitrogen fertilizers…

Are you kidding me? Even developer salaries in the Philippines can afford that or at least the plan below it. If I used the Anthropic API, my monthly spend would be $4k a month. The Claude Max plan is the best bargain around.

It’s not just about energy, but also industrial (think neon, helium) and agricultural inputs (nitrogen, urea). Even if energy was solved, there’s not really replacements for these. Well, regenerative agriculture but not sure that will feed

Or you could use Elixir with Postgrest and not have to bold on all this wonky 3rd paid tools for basic stuff like background jobs: https://elixirisallyouneed.dev/tools?q=Pgflow

And Mexican labor at this point is cheaper than Chinese. Makes sense to me.

The only way to get American auto manufacturers to step up their game is completion. Worked when the Japanese cars came, American car quality improved dramatically in response because it had to.

There’s a number of videos of US and Israeli air defense quite literally failing at intercepts. You can see the entire trajectories and stuff. Some from US bases, other in Israel but they are trying to censor them.

If they allow AI in Node it just might do a full rewrite into Rust, Go or Elixir ;)

The aging Patriot in particular was exposed in Ukraine. You can watch video after video of them failing even against older ballistics - they have basically no chance against hypersonic and other fast ballistics, especially ones with active

C-RAM radars - at least one US embassy was hit with an elcheapo drone as well, rendering it useless. Thats a legit problem and was only possible because they took out most of the important ballistics radars first.

Not against the fast ballistics.

by cpursley 7mo ago
The big story I think is how handily they took out billions of dollars of US radars and that these air defense systems are not up to the task (we actually already knew this from Ukraine, but media worked overtime to ignore this fact). In a

It’s not a disagreement, it’s science. You are conflating your views on animals rights with this ultra processed goop, which is a common logical fallacy. I respect and understand the animals rights perspective, but the fake meat is simply n

There’s so such thing as “plant meats”, and yes, animal meat is healthy when balanced with a good diet. What’s killing everyone is the white carbs and sugar, not the meats and fats. Anyone telling you otherwise is ideologically motivated vs
