What about regular Toyota?

You are the Architect.

Very welcome. I saw an article this morning that said there was another X-class flare either yesterday or day before. It was scant on details and I’ve not looked for a decent article yet, but I’ll post it if I find it.

Apologies for double posting, this is an aside, but extremely interesting, from my limited understanding: https://phys.org/news/2025-04-sun-explosions-echo-earth-skies.html I thought you may find it interesting, as well.

ETA: this says M-class flares, too. https://www.space.com/solar-flares-effects-classification-formation

Thank you. I’ll check out “X-class solar flares” for my own edification.

Isn’t the sun doing CMEs and other funky stuff for the last several weeks, now? I wonder if that’s contributory.

Wow. If the fediverse is only operable by meta’s instance inside the USA, I’m really going to miss everyone, because I’m just not, with meta.

I don’t know. I can tell you about a quarter- century 17-18 years ago, I knew one Ukrainian and one Russian, personally. The young Ukrainian gentleman identified very firmly as Russian, the young Russian gentleman identified as Russian. Both were very well-mannered, kind, and integrated very well. I still think very fondly of both of them, and hope they have settled somewhere away from the current madness and are leading fulfilling lives. They are good people.

Ostensibly, Russians in Ukraine were being treated very badly. I don’t have access to the Intel in that region, so I can’t really say. Hence, “I’m not sure.” I feel very badly for everyone in the region, and looking at history, and USA meddling, destabilizing countries and regions to maintain economic hegemony, so which is more toxic is hard to say. That’s all I said. Anything else is reading a whole other narrative into it.

I never said any of that. I’m not sure at all Russia is less toxic than the US, especially right now. I think the US promised Russia no NATO creep toward their borders, and did exactly that. I think US toxicity and meddling has a lot to do with the position Ukraine finds itself in, currently.

Vape if you want.

How many vape, which is more harmful, more addictive?

Ah American exceptionalism. Because P2025 would never, ever do such a thing.

Djt is a puppet, dancing to the strings pulled by his puppet masters. He’s irrelevant, but as the curtain surrounding the wizards.

I’m not so sure of that.

Unless I’m missing something, the EU+ BRICS “has all the cards.”

“Consumer choice” is like saying "forced bussing,” it’s intentionally obfuscatory language, where “consumer choice” means quid-pro-quo business-political interests and “forced bussing” means certain races are segregated and given inferior school buildings, textbooks, teachers, food.

I have not read the book, only the article, and it seems to fit with other leaks.

I’m glad I left and never went back.
