I have been rehabbing my shoulder and speaking to friends with similar shoulder issues.

One of the better guides we have found was this guy: https://youtu.be/4Gli-tybcyw?si=6NwRkgrxFOXRZ641

His general approach is very cautious. His big issue is giving the tear better conditions to heal. Putting the arm in a sling whenever you can immobilizes joint and takes the pressure off the tear. Then strengthening the traps will fix things more than rotating the arms under load - because the ball of the joint will sit higher and more centred in the socket putting less stress on the tendons.

The ruling classes will continue to spread hate and distraction away from themselves

I would add that the ruling classes will also hoard assets and make access to services (like healthcare, education and transportation) more exclusive and probably prohibitively expensive.

The economics of poor nations are probably what imperial core collapse will resemble.

It’s pretty obvious I would have thought : Organise with other comrades to collectively own and run productive stuff that helps your standards of living. By pooling your resources with others, you get better outcomes. Those who only can contribute their labour will be more productive if they have access to collectively owned tools. They can still trade their labour even if the currency has gone to shit.

A call with Tesla confirmed that the truck had needed a complete reboot which took over five hours of sitting to complete.

I consider this as a second deal-breaker problem with the truck. How does 5 hour reboot time make sense? That seems as quick as the punch card computers great-granddad reminisced about.

“condensation can fry the electronics inside the vehicle”

Electronics defeated by rain. They’ve basically described it as an expensive piece of shit.

Nostalgia is partly an indicator that current environment is so shit that it can’t just be reformed or tweaked to get to a better place. Instead the best solution that people want is to time travel back to before it all took a nosedive and restart from there.

Hydrogen isn’t necessarily more dangerous than gasoline. It is more difficult to detect a leak and the flame is invisible. But it’s less combustible and disperses quickly into the air. Plus it’s not toxic to spill it in liquid form.

The initial comment was by QueerCommie. I was butting in with my 2cents.

The cost per KWh to build nuclear reactors is 4-6 times more than solar projects. You have to weigh that along with the greater time to complete the project.

Nuclear plants have previously been slow to build: Averaging 6 - 9 years. Solar projects take 1-3 years to build. Risk factors are higher for nuclear than solar. It’s very expensive to clean up in the event of an accident and the impact is far greater. Nuclear needs access to water. Solar doesn’t.

If you are in a sunny geography, solar is way cheaper, faster, less dangerous. And the costs keep going down.

The big disadvantage is you need storage. It doesn’t work when the sun is down. In every other aspect it’s so cheap right now. In Australia, we are at the point of excess solar energy. The price of electricity can become negative during the sunny days.

The frog boils itself now?

Cheap solar and semiconductors will reduce the cost of manufacturing in US. Energy and chips are inputs to actually producing stuff that companies charge a lot more for.

Car tariffs is somewhat understandable.

Keep turning…

I believe experts have pointed out the vulnerability is how complex and hence expensive it is to keep these tanks running. It needs a crew of mechanics to regularly service a gas turbine engine which also guzzles jet fuel. They are very heavy which means they can’t be driven on any roads or bridges that are too soft or weak without destroying them.

The tank crew themselves need a lot of skill and teamwork to be effective. They still manually load the main gun. Ukrainian troops would have no training on American tanks. So that time and labour for training up the crew to competency is another cost.

They are less of a resource drain just sitting in storage with the engine off.

Fuck off then. The topic is not about China. The HK police was just used as a comparison vs US police in terms of their response. You quoted a source that is particularly unreliable on HK riots because that’s just a sign of how butthurt China makes you.

US is complete shit. HK police were far far better. To call their behaviours similar is complete bullshit.

I won’t ever trust HKFP on anything.

HKFP dodgy as fuck as a source.

“Hi TSMC. Could you build a massive pseudo village/factory where you indoctrinate the locals with your toxic work culture, sending your managers to act as overlords for our under-educated workers? We will pay you.”

“You want us to basically colonize a town in Arizona?”

“Ummm… Yeah”

Realist would be WEIGHING the negatives vs the positives. What positives outweigh funding genocide in Gaza?
