The previous Trump administration sued California for having the audacity to create its own environmental regulations, specifically vehicle smog standards. Not sure how this all ended, but yeah, states rights, except when we don't like

Not necessarily less software , but more open software. There's been a lot of legal action around "right to repair" recently - I think there was a major decision regarding John Deere tractors a few years ago. But honestly,

IMHO, a computer car and even internet-connected car is fine. However, I want a computer car that I actually own . If it's my car that I paid for, I should have full access to the software that runs it. If not, then I don't own

I don't know how "state and federal financial aid money" works. I always thought you paid for the classes upfront, then whatever state/federal program reimburses you. So, in my mind, I don't see how someone would co

I visited Chongqing when I lived in Shanghai around 2002. People regarded it as an insignificant city back then - everyone was so fixated on Shanghai and Beijing. Anyway, Chongqing was under major construction, as was most of the country. B

The Deep State! The government is filled with spies determined to "leak" the great work DOGE is doing is the press - so, of course, it needs "God mode" access. Totally legit. That's the best I could do. LOL

My favorite thing about Fry's was the weekly sale ads in the newspaper with all the rebate offers. At one time I had at least a dozen cheap-ass "web cams". LOL

The Fry's in San Diego (on I15, near I8) has recently been demo'ed. It's an empty dirt lot now. Not sure what's going in there; probably condos.

I lived in China in the early-2000s, and one of the things I noticed is that no one ever talked about any sort of politics. Never. It was weird at first, as political discussion is so ingrained in the culture (in the US). Even just regular
