    Empire in Decline

    And the market rout continues. Down and down she goes, where she stops nobody knows.

    Empire in Decline

    I'm already liberated from my 401K, IRAs, etc. Down over 30% since Trump took office. If this keeps up Trump will solve global warming. The breeze from all the stockbrokers jumping out the windows will cool the planet down. :ROFLMAO:

    Something Random

    My brother redid the brake lines on two of his cars with stainless steel himself. He ordered stainless steel line and a flaring tool. Now he'll never have to worry about the brake lines rusting.

    Empire in Decline

    Bringing nukes into it is basically a mutually assured destruction scenario. Nobody wins. The USSR had a civil war which broke it up and nukes weren't used. If we can secure a peaceful splitting of the country in two or three pieces even better. They don't like us anyway, so why would they want...

    Empire in Decline

    Because it's harder to maintain control in a country where at least 60% don't want them in power. We're fast heading towards a civil war. Despite the bravado of Trump and his followers, they will come up on the losing side if that happens.

    Empire in Decline

    Here's my solution to the problem: 1) Denmark gives Greenland to the US subject to #2 to #4. 2) Trump and all his MAGA supporters are deported to Greenland and lose their US citizenship. 3) Trump can become King, Emperor, Fuhrer or whatever he cares to call himself of Greenland. 4) Greenland is...

    Empire in Decline

    All this is going exactly as I predicted. We're going to destroy the planet, make workers virtual slaves, treat women and girls like property, all so a few billionaires can become richer. We have to stop this by any means necessary.

    I wonder if Trump or Musk even have a driver's license?

    I wonder how this will play with Trump's base who thinks electric cars are the spawn of satan.

    Empire in Decline

    That's terrible. Also, anyone having work done on their home should be careful. I had my roof done in January. I was genuinely worried ICE would show up and cart the workers off right in the middle of the job. Being that I went with a big company, I'm sure they were all legal, but that won't...

    Empire in Decline

    I think that has to be a record of sorts. Even Hitler didn't lose his goodwill that fast. The fact so many people believed Trump's lies speaks to how bad our education system is. His base is going to be the ones suffering the most from his shortsighted policies. I'm going to be using the words...

    I'm honestly hoping the EU declares war on us if we withdraw from NATO. It'll be worth it just to see the dumbfounded looks on his MAGA supporters. "But I thought he was going to bring peace." Last I checked the price of groceries is still high. But we're talking about making Gaza into a resort...

    Mirrorless Cameras (MILC) and Lenses

    I haven't been following stuff lately but that sounds like a game changer. 16 cores, 40 CUs, AND 128GB of memory. I've been saying for a long time AMD should put dedicated memory on their APUs. I guess the chip would attempt to cache the most frequently used stuff in the on-chip RAM, and use...

    Speaking of Lunar, he hasn't posted in a while. Do you know if he's OK?
