Needless to say, we have adversaries in the world that are learning by watching, and instead of pivoting to solar, batteries, portability, self-sufficiency, and scaling up, we have decided to double down on old tech. We will be riding the equivalent of horses into the next tank battle.

The whole point of inexpensive drones is that millions of small contributions easily offsets a few large pieces of infrastructure, well-protected or not. That principle needs to be broadly understood in the government sector.

Threat assessments by the United States don't seem to be looking at the steady demolition of Russian refineries and incredible vulnerability of petroleum infrastructure. Our choice to continue dependencies on these very vulnerable pieces of infrastrucure is flatly baffling.

A thread about how farmers can kick their government subsidies, if they want to make good, independent money. Grow crops below & still produce more energy for electric vehicle fuel than corn/ethanol. A 16,000% improvement in vehicle fuel generation, make $$$ with solar and make even more from crops.

Fair enough. When the OP said, "you boys", I thought she meant the authors, who seem to not be lampooning the misogynistic attitude, but actually embodying it. Maybe OP meant all the people playing it or singing along, as you say.

Wasn't that the point of the song, to point out how creepy that behavior is? Sting was shocked by how Americans adopted it as a love song. Or is it just the song on its own qualifies as creepy but the author isn't? Maybe I missed something?

When the current American federal government cancels programs in the various states, I am wondering why the states don't have the right to "cancel" sending their taxes to the feds. What am I missing? Is this unilateral disarmament or ethical suicide or something else?

EVs have a huge battery heating load at that temperature to maintain the property temp range. It isn't just the cabin. Don't let it dissuade you, but at those temps maintaining the battery is a real concern. It shouldn't wear out the equipment the same way ICE idling does.

Mafiosos specialize in extracting blood and money. These two profit from war, a war that one of them started. Remember, TFG just nationalized a piece Intel, I guarantee you he will do the same to Exxon, and claim that anything good for Exxon is good for the country.

Our looonnnggg take on why private digital currencies and the blockchain are an accident going out to happen.
βWhile cryptoβs huge computational costs undermine any legitimate use case, the benefits of anonymity and the lack of a centralized authority are well worth the inefficiencies in one particular context: if you want to transfer money to commit crimes.β

The Reconstruction failed, so I don't know that it is a good example. I don't mind partisan action, but focusing on structural partisanship would probably last longer. For instance, add DC as a state, add PR if they pass a referendum, add 4 Supreme Court justices. Let them do the work over time.

Single-handed Presidential declarations of emergency are a fundamental flaw in US governance. Proposed: declaring emergencies get priority Congressional consideration and require 66% to pass. If it isn't broadly held a situation is an emergency, dictatorial powers should remain untappable.

A big part of the reason Atlanta is hitting it's limits is the way the state DoT funds highways and road projects instead of MARTA and bike paths and other alternatives. We are building out alternative infrastructure in spite of them, but it goes slow.
