Remember that if you are a real political party, your end goal is to enact policy. Winning election is just one mean (amongst many) to achieve that.

Abandoning policy to win election means that you are an unserious political party, some would say a lifestyle brand

Tesla will fail even harder if Elon starts actually managing them. Can't wait to laugh at upcoming CyberSUVs and Cybercars.

Yes, there are some niche communities in /toy/, /ck/, /sp/, and /sci/ that I appreciated. It gives "old internet" vibe of niche hobby, slow forums instead of everything gets swallowed by the "everything app" that is reddit, Facebook and twitter.

Like for example, there is always thread about people showing photos and collection of their army men figures and dioramas. I personally don't collect them and don't participate in the discussions, but I like seeing people touch grass, play with army mens and post their photos posing the army men in their backyards, with sometimes hilarious scenarios and scripts. Same deal with /sp/, people coming together to dunk on Manchester United losing never gets old.

The cycle rickshaw, which is a variant of a cargo bike is quite common in Asia. The price for a new one ranges from $100-500. Meanwhile, a bike with elongated rear rack, e.g., a longtail cargo bike (barely counts as cargo bike) can cost $1,000 in the West, and that is the entry level "cargo bike." A front load cargo bike costs $2500 and upwards. An Urban Arrow (tm) cargo bike can cost a whopping $6-7k.

The proposal from the Office of Management and Budget would abolish the Oceanic and Atmospheric Research office at NOAA, one of the world’s premiere Earth sciences research centers.

A budget allocation of just over $170 million, down from about $485 million in 2024, would hobble science as varied as early warning systems for natural disasters, science education for students in kindergarten through high school, and the study of the Arctic, where temperatures have increased nearly four times as fast as the rest of the planet over the past four decades. “At this funding level, O.A.R. is eliminated as a line office,” the proposal states.
