Can they wait until Saturday to drop the nukes?

I want to sleep in before I get turned to dust

It’s not about converting the car.

I have a 2009 Chevy with an automatic transmission. I’m order to convert it to electric, the ECU would have to be replaced so the car knows when to shift to a higher gear without a combustion engine.

Because of environmental reasons, ECUs are pretty tightly controlled by the government. I don’t know if any company even exists that can sell an aftermarket ECU. There’s plenty that can hack or reprogram ECUs, but even that is becoming increasingly regulated and legally questionable.

I would love to convert my car to an electric, but it’s an automatic so I’d have to spend as much as a new car to convert it.

A drop in ECU replacement and motor/battery would be great, but I doubt the auto industry or the government is going to allow the sale of third party drop in ECUs.

There have been several incidents where warning systems glitched out, and only the quick thinking of a handful of individuals stopped an actual launch from happening.

I live right next to one of the largest airports in the world.

I see 5-10 parallel lines in the sky multiple times a day.

I also live next to one of the largest airports in the world, which is a few miles from a national guard base located right outside one of the largest cities in America.

I’m probably in the fireball radius of a nuke, assuming the Russians haven’t been embezzling their government money and are still fueling their hydrogen bombs, so if the big red button gets pushed, I’ll just get vaporized about half an hour later.

Don’t shoot yourself just because you see lines in the sky. You’re either close enough to civilization for planes to make lines in the sky, in which case the bombs will probably get you anyway, or you’re so far out in the sticks that you’ll have plenty of time to make a decision.

MIRVs have been a thing for like 50 years.

The US even took them out of submarine launched missiles, because they made the soviets so nervous we had to promise that we couldn’t delete half of their country in 15 minutes.

But don’t worry, nuclear war happens so fast, and diplomatic channels are so slow, if anyone launches anything, everyone is practically forced to launch everything or risk losing it. So even if Russia did just launch one to destroy 10-15 cities, all of the cities everywhere would be destroyed anyway.

Have you seen the average griefer or troll in any multiplayer game?

A summary is useless if it’s not accurate.

The problem is that they get golden parachutes while the engineer and dozens or hundreds of his peers who has invested years into a “good, established company” gets shafted due to lay offs.

It’s YouTube, there is no line, just a vague squiggle that you can cross without any warning.

Obviously for the local petting zoo

Plus, mammoth burgers

We’re still trying to get people to quit smoking.

If phones killed you, we’d all just have to die

MAD is like 2 men standing in a lake of gasoline, one man has 3 matches, the other has 5, both threaten to use their matches if the other uses his.

Russia is saying they’ll use their matches if the other guy throws a rock at him. The fucking situation is stupid and I hope that my ashes get blasted to a different planet when the bombs go off. I don’t want to even be a part of this stupid planets carbon cycle anymore.

You mean: when an X user finds themselves unable to load the main page, they’ll get frustrated, uninstall the app and leave a review about how it’s broken.

You grossly overestimate the tech savvyness of your average internet user, and their willingness to spend any amount of time or money to fix a minor inconvenience.

How bad is school where teenagers are jumping off buildings to avoid starting the school year.

So, WWIII by January?

I’m just amazed it wasn’t a dancer in spandex again

…no

Do you not understand how an army works?

Because companies have been promising tidal power for decades and it never works because the tide is really strong and full of animals, plants, and garbage that really shouldn’t be around large moving machinery.

So this is the alternative

Unfortunately, the US has a launch on warning policy.

So even if every warhead Russia has is a dud, or doesn’t even re-enter the atmosphere, they’ll still be nuked into a fine mist of concrete and carbonized human dust about 20 minutes after we realize their bombs don’t work.

And then the rest of us get to live through nuclear winter.
