I might be impressed by a truck that could haul a cooler, an empty plastic barrel, and a crate at once. But the lack of any tie-downs for those straps makes my point well for me. Thanks.

Look closer and read the dimensions. The Verge say “it can hold a sheet of plywood” in text but if you look at the dimensions, there isn’t 48” of space between the wheel wells, so it has to be propped up on them seesawing back and forth. And there is not 96” of length to support it, even with the tailgate down. At best you could limp home with one sheet rocking around, sticking out behind you. Forget transporting a stack.

It’s yet another urban toy truck that’s not equipped for actual utility.

He was believed. They didn’t care.

It’s not a truck to me if the bed can’t fit a sheet of plywood.

EDIT: which you will see it cannot if you look at the dimensions listed. Plywood is 48”x96”

When a company considers buying Chrome because it could help them extend the reach of their product, they are fucking drunk and need to go home. This would be like buying the state of Nevada so you could put up billboards all over Las Vegas.

At first I imagined the drone dragging its cable and that seemed terrible, but then I realized they’re carrying a spool and they let cable out as they go. That’s actually brilliant and absolutely could work. 12 miles of cable. Only thing is it adds weight so you can’t deliver as much explosive payload.

That makes a lot of sense.

Does Trump care about constructing justifications for his actions though? Seems like he enjoys shooting from the hip and, if ever in doubt, opts for strategies that will piss the most people off.

The amount of power is the same

There is only one pope seat at a time which they can assign, true. But that’s not a complete measurement of all the power involved.

Think of fit this way. Every time there’s an election, everyone comes out to kiss their ass and offer favors so that they themselves or “their guy” will get elected. If elections happen only every 20 years, then this ass-kiss-fest only happens every 20 years.

They’d rather it happen every 5 years.

You are 654,863,108% correct!

I mean I hope it’s just you in there.

This really is a tremendous show of weakness… unless it’s a ploy somehow.

I once sat next to a couple on the plane and the young woman was showing her bf a video of Tate talking about how men should be stoic and never complain because no one wants to hear that pussy bullshit. She was saying things to him like “You know how you freak out and bitch at me? You should be like him.”

So yeah… there are women out there who like him. They like hardcore traditional gender roles, is probably the base of it, and want a man doing cliche man shit like Tate preaches. Some women are dealt a great hand by traditional standards: big tits, blond hair, nice face, and they would rather settle into being provided for than fuss with all that feminism stuff. It’s idiotic but people believe whatever’s in their interests. And surprise surprise, these women don’t want men to have emotional needs.
