Credit unions used to have some limitations, like no national or regional reach, but now they link their ATMs in networks together, and depositing a check is as simple as taking a picture with your phone. They’ve given me good loan rates, relatively good interest rates on checking accounts and CDs, and I always get a human when I call. Your money is insured up to $250k through the NCUA, basically the credit Union version of the FDIC. And you own part of the credit union, and the income stays local. There probably isn’t a perfect financial institution, but credit unions can be close.

That kinda tells you what kind of business Tesla is, if its valuation is based on politics and government-adjascent grift rather than vehicles sold and revenue.

I like this market segment, I’m glad RE is in this space, but I hate that saddle.

Womp womp on that price.

Andreesen is a hypocritical NIMBY who can go walk into the ocean for all I care. His opinion shouldn’t matter.

He’s probably right in this instance, but rich people do not deserve to be listened to just because they are rich.

Boooooooooo!

Thanks, Biden!

Truly a superb photo, it jumped out at me even before I clicked through and read the description. Thanks!

Just stop building in Phoenix already. We’re just creating the next round of climate refugees.

If this is the case, why aren’t the Brits famous for longevity or graceful aging after generations of boiling everything?

I know that the state is trying to manufacture standing so it can bring the claim, but this is a deeply cynical and unethical argument that I would be embarrassed to make.

I would totally drive a Moosetang. Or, if you want to be boring, just call it a Moose. But that would be hilarious. Make this happen, Ford!

Back atcha, buddy, you know this sub removes posts that don’t use the article title? Take it up with the title editor, not me.

Cybercabs are two-seater vehicles

Just two seats why? Has this so-called genius ever taken a cab with friends ever?

I don’t like how every news story about the layoffs uncritically parrots the company excuse about the strike, as if decades of regulatory capture, short-term business strategy, and poor engineering and supply chain decisions by successive waves of over-paid executives didn’t sink the company.

Where’s your bike seat?

¿Por qué no los dos?

Kamala’s addiction to thin mints

Relatable.

This comment is getting downvoted, and I don’t oppose nuclear, but I do think it’s worth noting that the nuclear energy sector has still under-priced the costs of nuclear waste management, transportation, and storage. Engineers don’t have practical methods of building storage containers and buildings that can last as long as the half-life of nuclear waste (1,000-10,000 year), and the long tail of storage costs has not been priced into the cost. Typically, this does end up being paid for by taxpayers over the course of many years. No energy generation system is without downsides, but it’s worth acknowledging them.
