I'm still waiting for the wall to be built with Mexican money. Just because Trump says he's going to do something doesn't mean he actually will. I don't care what liars say, I care what they do.

He's from South Africa. He can't run for president.
It wasn't enabled in Crimea in the first place. The author misspoke/lied about in the book and has later admitted it.
U.S. sanctions to Russia forbid the use of Starlink. This includes crimea and the occupied territories. That's why it wasn't enabled.
To clarify on the Starlink issue: the Ukrainians THOUGHT coverage was enabled all the way to Crimea, but it was not. They asked Musk to enable it for their drone sub attack on the Russian fleet. Musk did not enable it, because he thought, probably correctly, that would cause a major war.
And before someone points out the 'cause major war' things, those are Walters words, not Elon's. Musk said "It would make SpaceX explicitly complicit in a marjor act of war and conflict escalation" He later also added that had he been contacted by the US officials and asked to enable it he would, but they didn't.
I doubt it's a real thing that has a name. I tried asking chatGPT about it and it said it's called melodic masking / auditory masking but I didn't really find any information that matches my experience.
It's not that I don't hear the vocals, I just struggle to register it as language. It just sounds more like yet another instrument.
I've only had two but the first one, 2001 Audi A6 was significantly more expensive to maintain than my current Nissan pickup.
Sensor/thermal bulb from a capillary tube. Likely from a refrigerator.
This is equivalent of stalking your ex years after breaking up and hoping them to break up with their new partner.
Move on.
Whenever I point out the hateful rhetoric, the advocacy for violence or murder, the attacks on anyone trying to make sense of things in a calm and measured way, or the lies spread about the other side (yes, the left does this too), people are quick to respond with whataboutism - pointing out how the right does it too, and supposedly much worse.
Sure, maybe they do. But I don’t spend time in right-wing spaces where I have to deal with it. I’m here on Lemmy, which I’ve been told is supposed to be far better than other social media platforms. I don’t give a damn what it’s like in my neighbor’s house - I don’t live there. I care about what it’s like at home, and right now, it fucking blows.
