Haha probably better to keep the tube closer to the surface of the Earth but otherwise yes.

If only we had a series of pneumatic tubes connecting all our homes, you could order something online and have it pop up right next to you minutes later.

This same urge for some kind of end to all existing problems via an apocalyptic scenario is also why OP made his post.

Well not always - this story is about how for years and years there was a deadlock between the two parties at the FEC that has now been broken by a Democratic board member shocking everyone and siding with the Republicans.

Ordinary Mexicans

What do all the people downvoting it based on the title assume it means?

Traditionally both parties had to agree to get divorced if there had not been some “grounds” for the divorce that could be proved in court. That’s why the classic business for old timey private detectives was proving that their client’s spouse was committing adultery in order to legally justify a divorce.

Yeah I actually came across this statistic in this article about those guys wanting to make divorce much harder, which linked to the study: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/05/no-fault-divorce-gop-republicans-mainstream-podcast-dudes/

Trump may try to lie and cheat his way to the presidency in the face of an electoral loss, but he’d have even less luck with that in 2024 as a challenger than he did in 2020 as the incumbent president.

What do you mean the results of the election won’t matter? They’ll determine whether a deranged and vengeance minded Trump becomes president…

So trashy

Really? This article was written before the recent events with Biden limiting arms shipments, seems like it was pretty prescient.

Like you want the guest list in the title?

The problem is they’ve mostly now been negatively polarized against non-polluting energy.

Yeah it was a pretty dumb business move by Elon to become such a loud right-wing shithead when his core demographic of customers are people who are concerned about climate change.

Funny how this comment agreeing with the thesis of the piece is upvoted while the article itself is downvoted. I guess because this emphasizes the need to vote for Biden part while the article spends more time on his failings?

I obviously disagree with him there, but in a sense that just makes him having the integrity to acknowledge that anti-Zionism does not equal antisemitism more impressive.
