And none of them can make it from Lexington to Birmingham on a single charge.
dat, dat, dat, das very true. Besides that negative, EVs are far superior in my opinion.

I have owned a Buick Regal, Saturn, 3 maximas, 3 tahoes, 1 infiniti, 1 M35, 1 jeep cherokee, 1 Armada, 1 tesla and 1 Ford 150 Lightning.

DOGE is shrinking the government which could be considered a form of expanding government control. I.E. placing loyalists into govt positions as dictated by project 2025.

You know who else did something similar and "expanded the government's control over the workforce and labor relations?"

The German Labor Front


Or what about Musk tweet and the "O" in the Doge logo?



Looks just like the German Labor Front logo the Nazis used, 14 gears and all.

@sambowieshin keep fighting the good fight against these fascists. Idk how you manage to stay on with these lunatics.
Only muh Nazis use gears! The level of childlike stupidity the left engages in daily makes my face hurt.
 
That NotiHTTP poster (or something like that). She acts all pissed if you ask if that's her pic in her avatar.
LOL.... Last night I went over to Rupps Rafters for a little bit, and NochiHTTP had started the game thread..... There were at least two (and probably more) threads questioning if there was a game thread. As you know, if you have the poster on Ignore you won't see the thread on the board. As one of the posters over there pointed out, Nochi is one of the most ignored posters on Rafters (and here on the Paddock too).😵‍💫

I asked Grok about this.

Several organizations incorporate a gear symbol in their logos, often to represent concepts like industry, mechanics, teamwork, precision, or technology. Below are some notable examples:
  1. Rotary International
    • This global service organization uses a gear-like wheel in its logo. The design resembles a cogwheel with 24 teeth, symbolizing the idea of "turning" or "working together" to serve communities. The gear reflects the organization's focus on collaboration and action.
  2. Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) - Gears of War
    • From the popular video game series Gears of War, the COG uses a gear symbol with a skull in its logo, known as the Crimson Omen. The gear represents the soldiers ("Gears") who keep the society functioning, emphasizing strength, machinery, and military precision.
  3. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
    • NIST, a U.S. government agency focused on advancing measurement science and technology, features a gear in its logo alongside other symbols like an anvil and a lamp. The gear signifies its role in engineering, manufacturing, and industrial standards.
  4. American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA)
    • AGMA, an industry group for gear manufacturers, naturally uses a gear symbol in its logo to represent its focus on gear design, production, and technology.
  5. Technical University of Munich (TUM)
    • This German university, known for its engineering and technology programs, incorporates a gear in its logo, symbolizing its emphasis on mechanical and industrial innovation.
  6. Linux Foundation
    • While not a single gear, some of its related projects and certifications (like the Linux Professional Institute) have used gear-inspired designs to represent the technical, interconnected nature of open-source software development.
I asked for 10 more..
Here are 10 additional organizations that use a gear symbol in their logos, spanning various industries and purposes:
  1. Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE International)
    • SAE, a professional association for engineers in transportation industries (especially automotive and aerospace), features a gear in its logo to symbolize precision engineering and mechanical innovation.
  2. Gearbox Software
    • The video game developer behind titles like Borderlands uses a stylized gear in its logo, reflecting its name and the mechanical, creative process of game development.
  3. International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW)
    • This labor union incorporates a gear in some versions of its logo, symbolizing the industrial and mechanical work of its members in electrical trades.
  4. Purdue University
    • The university’s logo includes a gear-like element within its shield design, representing its strong engineering and technological heritage.
  5. Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA)
    • MCAA, which represents professionals in HVAC, plumbing, and piping industries, uses a gear in its branding to signify mechanical systems and skilled craftsmanship.
  6. ** FIRST Robotics Competition**
    • This global robotics program for students features a gear alongside a triangle and circle in its logo, symbolizing engineering, technology, and the mechanics of robotics.
  7. Industrial Workers of the World (IWW)
    • This international labor union, also known as the "Wobblies," has historically used a gear in some of its imagery to represent industrial labor and solidarity.
  8. Technische Universität Dresden (TU Dresden)
    • Another German technical university, TU Dresden includes a gear in its logo to highlight its focus on engineering, technology, and industrial research.
  9. Rockwell Automation
    • This industrial automation company uses a gear-like shape in its logo to reflect its work in manufacturing, machinery, and technological systems.
  10. Watchmakers of Switzerland Training and Educational Program (WOSTEP)
    • WOSTEP, which trains watchmakers, incorporates a gear in its logo, representing the intricate mechanics of timepieces and the precision of the craft.
 
The VH types or Dems say these are nothing...but DOGE is finding thousands of them:

- $100K for Vanderbilt University to study “social networks” among “sexual and gender minorities”
- $37K for the University of Houston to study “fear of deportation” in “Latinx young adults”
- $681K for the University of Pennsylvania to study “social media anti-vaping messages” among “sexual and gender minority teens”
- $225K for the University of Colorado to study the “effects of hormones on headaches in transmasculine adolescents”
- $620K for “an LGB+ inclusive teen pregnancy prevention program for transgender boys”
- $699K for studying “cannabis use” among “sexual minority gender diverse individuals”
- $740K for examining “social networks” among “black and Latino sexual minority men in New Jersey”
- $50K for assessing “sexual health” among “LGTBQ+ Latinx youth in an agricultural community”
- $75K for researching “structural racism”






They want to tank the economy. They want to usher in globalism. It doesn't make any sense unless it's a plan.

I'm loving Grok. Anyone on this board not using AI needs to get X just for the Grok feature... it's free. It takes "googling it" too a whole new level.
 


I seem to remember going to my grandparents' house with all the kids in the family for a measles party. One of my cousins got it and the rest of us just played monopoly and Uno all weekend while staying in the basement so we could go ahead and get it over with before school started. LOL.
 


I remember that Caitlin Clark thread and all the people defending what was happening to Caitlin refusing to admit it was reverse racism. They tried to pretend the wnba is known for hard physical play and people only worried about it because of Clark... turns out...

BUCKLE UP FOR THIS ONE!Has anyone been paying attention to this whopper? John Podesta. a senior advisor to Joe Biden on clean energy, former White House Chief of Staff to President Bill Clinton (1998–2001) and Counselor to President Barack Obama (2014–2015, has been handling a $375 billion slush fund giving billions to charities that don’t appear in the IRS’s charity database, and has no federal filings, according to the New York Post. Investigations reveal that at least $20 billion was directed to environmental organizations, many of which were established only months prior to receiving the funds.Kamala Harris gave a $7 billion dollar check to a Maryland climate group that also had no federal filings.
 



Democrat judges will not recuse themselves. It would be like letting me judge a dispute between UK and ul. I'm not going to be fair. LOL
