One lesson everyone should learn is anything you do in politics can eventually bite you in the ass.

When Harry Reid ended the fillibuster for (non-Supreme Court) judicial appointments in 2013, Mitch the Cocaine Turtle admonished "you'll regret this and maybe sooner than you think". Smashcut fast-forward and he was able to manipulate court appointments.

Likewise there are now some Republicans who want to nuke the fillibuster entirely to ram through the elections bill. Well what do they think is going to happen in a few years when they no longer have a majority? Dems will also be able to ram through anything and everything with a bare majority.

Same thing with these state level initiatives. There is no way to create a "magic tool" that your opponent can't also use against you eventually.

The article crucially says Toyota delayed participating in the first part of the cycle so they look "smart" only with luck and the benefit of selective retrospect. Sorta like a guy who got wasted and overslept and avoided dying in a plane crash.

I can attest this is true. Before the US $7,500 EV credit expired last year I went to multiple Toyota dealerships and they had zero meaningful EV offerings. They tried to put me in a truck.

Exactly. Cops don't want to start the "Best Girl" debate in the middle of traffic because they know how contentious that can get.

Guess I'm glad these preseason games are borderline unwatchable anyway.

Andy always runs the most vanilla placeholder offense imaginable and uses them as purely a data collection point about the marginal players on the roster, or to gather data about the opponent.

TR franchise built-in benchmarks have been used as a YouTube-friendly hardware review datapoint since 2015.

Maybe they're worried that in the current market almost nobody is going to have the hardware to run a nextgen AAA game with acceptable performance.

If they delay 2 years it's possible conditions could improve (though I wouldn't bet on it).

From a purely strategic perspective wouldn't the US be better off saying "no more attacks on shipping or we destroy Karg island entirely"?

Karg:

  1. is a legit military target.
  2. doesn't contain any civilian housing etc.
  3. would cripple all IRGC income if destroyed.
  4. would reverse any pragmatic incentive China has to side with Iran at all. If the realistic possibility of getting oil from Iran itself drops to zero, Chinas incentive flips to simply getting and keeping the straight open to all shipping.

It absolutely won't do that. You know how many millions of early generation Prusa and Ender 3 printers are in the US? Many of these models have no internet connectivity whatsoever and print from SD card.

What that means is they will also try to incorporate spyware into your CAD and/or slicer software, which is even more invasive.

This is a anti-privacy bill.
