Today's aggravation is with inconsistent sportswriters. Writing about a hyphenated dude (can't remember which one), the writer, seemingly randomly, sometime hyphenated the first name to the middle, sometimes the middle to the last. Drove me f*cking nuts.

[i[General Motors said nearly half its Buick dealers took buyouts this year rather than invest in selling and servicing electric vehicles as the automaker's brands transitions to all electric by 2030.

That means GM will end 2023 with about 1,000 Buick stores nationwide, down 47% from where it started the year.

Late last year, Buick said it would be asking dealers to commit a minimum investment of $300,000 to $400,000 to prepare their stores to sell and service EVs.

I don't blame a bunch of dealers for not wanting to drop half a million bucks just so GM will allow them to stay in business. GM did this before, with Cadillac and lost a fifth their Caddy dealers. In that buyout dealers got paid (per Yahoo) "between 300k and 700k." No idea of the average, but probably half a million or more. If this one is similar, GM is going to spend around around $450 million to close around 885 Buick dealers.

Half a billion bucks to sell fewer cars and shrink the dealer base by half. American business. There's nothing like it.

📌#Detroit | #Michigan
Multiple firefighters are on the scene at the General Motors Factory Hamtramck Assembly Center in Detroit, Michigan, battling a three-alarm fire inside the factory complex. Reports indicate that multiple bins filled with batteries are on fire. It is currently unknown if anyone was injured in the battery fire inside the building. Scanner reports suggest that the fire is spreading, and firefighters are facing challenges extinguishing it due to the batteries.

Wiki: As of May 2020, the plant is being retooled to produce electric vehicles, and took the name Factory Zero as part of this rebuilding. The first vehicle rolled off the new line on 17 December 2021, a GMC Hummer EV.[5]

If these people cared about The Environment (tm), they'd be demanding that we smash the Houthis to avoid hugely fuel-wasting detours around Africa, or pushing aggressively for electrification in Africa - even electrical generation based on the Dread Carbon - to remove the dependency on kerosene for lighting on the Dark Continent. Kerosene lamps in Africa consume as much fuel as jet air travel in the United States (at least, as of a few years ago), but with much more pollution.

They don't care. It's never been about The Environment.

The juvenile, whose identity is protected due to age, faced charges of misdemeanor inducing panic and misdemeanor disorderly conduct for allegedly plotting an attack on Temple Israel in Canton.

209 A family court judge has ruled that a 13-year-old boy, arrested for planning a mass shooting at an Ohio synagogue, will be required to write a book report on Swiss diplomat Carl Lutz, who saved over 62,000 Hungarian Jews during World War II. The juvenile, whose identity is protected due to age, faced charges of misdemeanor inducing panic and misdemeanor disorderly conduct for allegedly plotting an attack on Temple Israel in Canton. The plan was reportedly shared on Discord, an online platform associated with previous mass shooters.

221 German farmers have accused Olaf Scholz of declaring “war” on their industry as they amassed in Berlin to protest against cuts to fuel subsidies and tax breaks.

Some 10,000 agricultural workers descended on the capital’s Brandenburg Gate on Monday with 3,000 tractors, bringing traffic to a standstill as they demanded an about-turn on plans by the German chancellor’s coalition administration.

Berlin says that ending farmers’ diesel subsidies and vehicle tax exemption are a necessary part of austerity measures aimed at resolving the country’s budget crisis in 2024.

But the German government is now facing a potentially major revolt from agricultural workers about the changes.

They openly stated when they announced the global warming push with the UN that they chose the theory of global warming to help them achieve their population control goals. It's made up bullshit based on bogus science to justify civilization killing programs like the end of fossil fuels.

This is why you stupid Americans always use such bizarre comparative measures. "Long as a football field" or "weighs as much as five elephants." Your weights and measures make no sense, which brings about these absurdities. If you use metric like a civilized country, those comparisons would all be superfluous.

243 I have no illusions about Joe Biden. He is an experienced, knowledgeable, moral man who I trust to do the right thing. Unfortunately, he is not dynamic. He does not have a strong on camera presence. He is not a compelling speaker to most people in today's fast paced media environment. And, the media is not going to give him any breaks.

He needs all Democrats to hit the airwaves in support. All hands on deck. Even rank and file Dems like us on DU can play a part!

Joe used to be a more dynamic speaker. He has gotten older and more careful with his words, but also more presidential. He certainly is the right person for this moment in time.

A President Kamala Harris will kill it, but the media and right-wing snipers cringe at the notion of a strong woman of color being President. The white male establishment will snipe, dog whistle, and start in with the racist, misogynist tropes nonstop.

We are in uncertain territory this year, Biden ran in 2020 mainly from his basement. This year he is going to have to campaign on the road, can he win? Someone like Obama
with charisma wouldn't be a contest. We won't know until November.

Democrat Karl Frisch participated in the swearing-in ceremony on Wednesday for the Fairfax County, Virginia school board by using five books that contain offensive and sometimes extremely graphic sexual depictions including “Gender Queer,” “Flamer,” and “All Boys Aren’t Blue.”

The Washington Examiner reported that Frisch, Fairfax County’s first openly LGBT-identifying school board member, is currently the vice chairman of the board and is set to become the chairman on January 1.

I saw a video on my YouTube feed where an aluminum factory caught fire. It was terrifying to watch as machinery started bursting into flames and the roof collapsed. It was like watching the end of a James Bond movie where the villain's lair is collapsing--only it was happening for real.

High school drafting classes will program your brain to rapidly work-out the decimal values of fractions of an inch down to at least 16ths and often down to 32nds.

Due to Jimmy Carter there was a move to modify all rifle ranges to meters in order to be metric. Fortunately, that got sent to the circular file after the cost was considered. So we practice in yards but print maps in meters.

403 Part of the problem I have with Celsius is that while it makes logical sense in relation to the phase changes of water, it is not useful when living. 0-100 is all well and good for freezing vs boiling, but Fahrenheit is expanded in a way to where it is easier to get more granular at livable Temps. 50 is different from 60.
