Honestly, with lab grown diamonds disrupting the market, keeping money in gems seems dumb as fuck in 2026. Get rid of that shit while you can.


Lemmy instance checks out.


Get out of here with that Russian propaganda.
This is just the same thing that happens with every country that has conscripted military service during a war. Even a war where you’re defending your own home.
Some people will drag their feet. Some people are staunch pacifists, some people are afraid, etc.


Fucking lol. Still up.


Wireless it is.


Problem is that now your boss is just going to say Claude can trace those wires for you.


True. But at a concert or festival anywhere in the western world, weed will find a way.
If you’re in France, just look for a chill guy named Zephyr or something. He’ll hook you up. If you’re in the Americas, a Shane will do.


It’s expected to be 98-108F / 36-42C.
So yeah, water and weed is probably the better choice.
That said, people that attend Coachella every year are going to look at this and think “first time?”


Human infestations are rare
Yeah, because we had this shit under control. Human infections were much more common before screwworm was being tracked, the US was releasing sterile flies, and the US realized that flies don’t give a shit about your borders, so you need to treat all of North America.


Banning insulated water bottles in California… that might actually be a bigger backlash than building stadiums with slave labor.


BYD and the CCP:



I mean, some NATO nations have been known to join the US in a dumb fight. But Trump has also directly tariffed and threatened many of the nations that would normally help the US. Friends are gonna be short supply.


LEAVE HIM ALONE DHARAMVEER



It’s almost like there was some sort of reason why no one else was stupid enough to do this.


Because 2010 was all about being “random.”


First, there’s the pull-forward effect. December 2025 was Tesla’s best-ever retail month in China at 93,843 units, as buyers rushed to purchase before the reinstatement of a 5% purchase tax on NEVs starting January 1, 2026. That tax had been fully exempted for over a decade. Some of January’s weakness is borrowed December strength.
Second, China’s vehicle trade-in subsidies expired in most cities in mid-November and remain in a transitional phase, dampening demand broadly.
Third, the broader NEV market was weak. China’s total passenger NEV retail sales fell 20% year-over-year in January to 596,000 units, according to CPCA estimates. Even BYD saw its NEV sales drop 30% year-over-year and 50% month-over-month.
But here’s the thing: even BYD’s weak month produced 210,051 units. Tesla’s 18,485 is a different universe.


Slicked back hair is the wrong move when you have a fivehead like that.


RT is straight up trying to stoke the fire with even more disinformation.

Then he proceeded to call the drive through attendant a secret Nazi.
