The troll farms are very happy with the fediverse movement. It's much much easier to exploit and deceive compared to big regulated tech companies. The neckbeards behind Lemmy are also typical 'marketplace of ideas' naïve idiots, making it that much easier for groups to spread their misinformation unopposed.

For cargo capacity nothing beats a simple small business van.

Pickups are nothing more than a dick measuring contest that guys are desperate to justify to themselves.

Oof sounds like one employee there had a good idea (birds), but others were jealous and pushed to have multiple ideas and let citizens vote.

It's going to be birds, Karen. Stop talking about your beach and grains of sand.

Yeahhh that's not how diplomacy works. That's how edgy high school kids would imagine running NATO.

I can't imagine he's someone to strongarm. Nor would it be good for the alliance if members are forced into accepting things they don't want.

I'd imagine he got his desired concessions, or it was mostly just bluster for internal politics.

Don't threaten the US with a good time.

Those are unusually low numbers. Did the Ukrainians take a day off? Were the artillery crew preoccupied watching Wimbledon? Or is the Russian army literally out of material?

Loeb is a nutjob. He'll claim anything is proof of alien life as long as it gives him media attention.

The idea of extraterrestrial life has been commonplace since the 1600s. Since then, there's been many waves of belief-disbelief in extraterrestrial life.

This won't be anything new for Christianity to ponder, and they'll have plenty of theological material to fall back on.

Tldr; The last few yards of pipes are owned by the property owners. Cities are replacing their lead pipes just fine, but property owners aren't. These people want the government to pay for replacing pipes on private properties.

These people are likely the same people who vote for tax reductions and plead for a 'small government'.

It makes no sense for government to pay for new pipes for private properties. Let the property owners pay for it.
