“[He thought] it’s just going to go away because he so desperately wanted it to disappear the way flu disappears as you enter the end of the winter and the beginning of the spring,” Fauci said.

Common law marriage!

Then people won’t even get into relationships.

Lol $100k US, but global is Canadian and they converted to $130k CAD.

I think in certain areas for your EV you want a gas powered heater for the battery and cabin. That’s how I think EV transit buses should do it too.

It advanced at a glacier pace because there was no massive driving force. It only kicked off a bit with cell phones and then in any substantial way with laptops. (Yes, batteries existed before that for different things, but there was no massive driving force.) Now imagine what would have happened if we funded it starting in the 1970s.

Fertilizer.

It’s incredible how certain people are conditioned to think the sound of a gas motor and shifting because your puny motor is out of optimal torque and rpm range are manly.

The motors have never been the problem, it’s always been the battery. See train engines, they are a diesel generator with electric motors.

This is where history pisses me off. We should have been headlong into battery research after the oil embargoes. Could have been 40 years faster.

Nah even on desktop it’s clunky.

Every now and then I get a forum as a search result and they’re just so clunky. Replies are spaced out too much, no chains, everyone has a long winded signature phrase. I’m glad it went to this kind of format.

Absolutely this. This is why Dems have had control of all 3 houses (house of reps, Senate, presidency) for only 4 years of the last 24 years. Voters don’t show up and then GOP gets one of them. We’ve all seen what happens when it’s president and not Senate - the GOP Senate blocked Obama’s supreme Court Justice.

Oh I missed that entirely. Sloppy writing, it should be arranged “opposes bans on gender affirming care”.

I think Disney bought 21st century fox (the movie studio) *and the tv shows, but Fox News remains their own entity.

The pardons will forgive low-level marijuana possession charges for an estimated 100,000 people

So an interesting average of 1.75 convictions per person.

Thank you for summarizing.

Wow that’s uh something.

Kaitlan Collins, to her credit, interviewed Bill Barr and asked about an anecdote that I had shared about a meeting he and I were both in the Oval Office, where Trump straight up said a staffer who leaked a story should be executed. And Bill Barr kind of danced it and said I don’t recall that specific instance, but there were others where we talked about executing people. How do you rationalize that is a person fit in sound judgment to be president of the United States?

Drone maker DJI is based in China and controls over 70% of the world’s drone market share, a combination that threatens U.S. lawmakers. As we first reported in April, 6% of DJI stock lies in the hands of Chinese state-owned businesses, which has led to fears of Chinese government backdoors, national security risks, and other fears of Chinese surveillance using the company’s drones.

Elise Stefanik, the Republican representative from New York who sponsors the anti-DJI legislation, said of the drones, “DJI presents an unacceptable national security risk, and it is past time that drones made by Communist China are removed from America.” Of course, this unacceptable risk h

I know it feels good to say “Pack the court”, but it would turn it into a clown show with every new president adding double what the previous president added.

Yes yes this is where you say it’s already a clown show, and then I say it’d be even more, etc.
