Strange Things is like their most popular show.

Terrible doesn't begin to describe that app. Honestly what does the turbo button in the app even do?

I have one in a room on the far end of the house that the main AC can't reach, it helps reduce power usage since I can keep the rest of the house warmer.

It isn't rational to say that FSD will be here in 12 months every year for 4+ years running nor is it rational to say that Starlink in Ukraine has never been jammed a few weeks after tweeting out that Starlink in Ukraine is being jammed but a software update fixed it.

It also wasn't rational when doing work covered by ITAR and other requirements to smoke something your most profitable client, the US Government, says you should not.

One way to think of the elite is they are the people who can easily get those in power to actually listen to them. The typical person in the US, for example, has great difficulty getting their elected leaders to actually talk to them.

Large CEOs, the very wealthy, etc do not have such issues.

Check out the inverter type ones such as this one [1] It isn't light but it is quiet and adjusts the amount of power it uses depending on cooling needs much better than a typical window unit making it more efficient.

When things like the incident below happen it does make me wonder if the COO fully knows everything that is going on at SpaceX.

"In late March, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell told CNBC, "I don't think the US has given us any money to give terminals to the Ukraine." She also said that most of the funding came from private sources, and acknowledged some help from France and possibly Poland, according to CNBC."

It would help if he could keep his story straight and act like a rational human being.

Do we know for sure that the behavior that SpaceX says those employees did actually happened? All we have is a few quotes from SpaceX, not actual evidence but I could be wrong.

That isn't exclusivity the realm of any side / ideology, the vast majority of them do it.

What would help is for Musk to stop being so dishonest when he tweets things, saying X is true then saying a month or so later X never happened doesn't look good nor do repeated promises that often do not come to pass.

>One way to make more money is to work more.

Not if you can't get schedules for more hours which is the situation millions of people are in also a lot of people can't pay others to do their chores and such for them so they have to do that themselves which can take a lot of time.

What positive things should be pointed out?

>The fact that people got all the payments in the pandemic

How much per person do you think they received?

How much of that wealth increase for the bottom 50% was driven by exploding property / home value increases ?

The government lawyer didn't go after him, the government did.

His actions show that he considers calling someone a child molester to be acceptable speech so it isn't too much to think that much more polite speech he would not have an issue with.

Maybe they actually believed his statements regarding unlimited free speech. It's not backed by evidence but SpaceX does attract dreamers.

Harder to do when they don't control the water/food/oxygen/ships supplying said cities.

What has "the left" done that pushed you away to support a part that says LGBTQ people should be able to get married, that their version of the Christian god deserves special protections in law, etc? Those are explicate positions documented in the GOP platform that members of the GOP are required to support.

In what ways?

Musk doesn't think his cities on Mars will have to follow any Earth based laws or concept of rights. https://nypost.com/2020/10/30/elon-musks-spacex-colony-on-ma...

> I'm not going to play oppression olympics with you.

That wasn't my point. Honestly please take a look at your interaction with me and reflect on it, it isn't necessary to engage in such a hostile fashion. You have read a lot into what I have written that simply isn't there.

You have a pleasant rest of your day.

Do you find that being this uncharitable is an effective way to communicate with others?

You haven't actually been poor like that in the US. That isn't a question, it is a statement. I have as have others I know so yes even a few dollars per day can make/break the budget.

There are multiple meals per day if one has to skip some of them to make ends meat then they are "not eating" those meals.

It's a bit more complicated than you are making it out to be, it would not hurt to remember you are talking about fellow human beings and not just numbers in a spreadsheet.

He claimed to be a free speech absolutist, not a supporter of free speech principles. I chose to read that as a highly intelligent person using the words he wants to use to describe his position accurately, I also expect him to live by that position given he has the means to do so.

Why would a free speech absolutist fire people for using their free speech?

Yes if you are careful, but that isn't what I said. You are assuming that the base spent on food is 0 + 2 when that wasn't what I said.

14 per week might be the difference between eating ok and not eating.

How is it rational to allow untrained people to have weapons around elementary and other school students?

Only in regards to income taxes which may include large corporations. It doesn't include all the other taxes that nearly everyone pays.

>75% of the country contributes nearly nothing but complaints.

Only if you ignore sales tax, car tax, property taxes, and other such taxes.

The top 10% typically included major corporations but without a source I don't know if the percentage you use does.
