This is so patently absurd. It's going to cost way more than $400M to strip it down to its last screw (essential for security reasons) , design and retrofit with top secret communications systems, electromagnetic pulse hardening, in-flight refuelling and defence systems. To do that is going to take more than four years when A he might be dead anyway B it goes to 'his library' C he shouldn't (!) be president any more.

Because, damn 😬, I just removed about a dozen things that I'd forgotten I'd authorised. Quite a few companies / organisations are darned sneaky in that the ONLY way you can make a payment via PayPal is to authorise a recurring payment 😡.

Excellent that he's from US of A because that's a fantastic plus to disarm the nazis in the White House.

In 2022, Muskrat started supporting Republicans.
Just after that, this person registered their #Tesla (who knows, they might even have bought it second hand).
Now they put a "No Elon" sticker on their #swasticar. I presume the owner did it because the sticker has been on the car quite some time.
Perhaps they're getting tired of people like me giving them Elon salutes when I see them driving their fascist status symbol.

I used the voice recognition in my car to navigate me to the nearest Lidl.
It offered me a route to Liechtenstein.
It really did. I nearly pissed myself laughing. But then, I would.

Tacky Trump resorts with tacky golf and tacky hotels. All expensive designed for those with much more money than taste.

"I was on my way home from the bar when a charming man with an Eastern European accent approached me and asked if I could provide me any juicy details about US military operations. I hesitated at first but I saw he was offering me a swig of something quite delicious and so I immediately added him to our Very Secret WhatsApp group. Cheers!"

The familiar 16-digit number is going away to be replaced by a 'random number' that is created each time you want to pay for something.
I like the extra #security - no credit card number to steal - but what about convenience? Do I need to authorise every monthly subscription payment, every Amazon purchase and every PayPal transaction (in addition to the 2FA I already have on PayPal)? 🤷🏼♂️

What to do when the seedling germinates but kind of flops sideways for the first centimetre / half inch? This is coriander / cilantro.
