More and more like Putinland

I have no idea who Gyda is, but they miss when she was just Hårek's wife. This is the cultural reference

Seventy percent of Americans stand with Ukraine till victory. Full stop. Sincerest apologies for our absolute buffoon of a dick tater and Kremlin cuck of a president. Him and Vance’s bitch ass do not represent the American people on this. I’m so very sorry.🤬

5. It has been centuries since any one human could know everything that is known; understand everything that is understood.

This is a remarkable power of science. We delegate trust and authority to experts as internally established in ways that are remarkably resilient to mistakes and malfeasance.

Devaluing expertise is a core tenet of Trump's modern expression of Maoism.

Yes, Maoism. His crew has literally proposed finding "more useful work" for university professors in disfavored specialties. "We don't need X professors, we need welders"

I was like, "Sweeney, who's that? Did she say something nasty about trans people or something?" (That being MAGA's trigger)
All I've seen is stories trying to explain why I am supposed to be upset in the way they reacted to Bud Light

Trump, he takes care of crime

These are all stories Putin and other Russians tell him. That's why he repeats them like they're true. He's such a gullible, demented fool.

He's already understanding the Russia mindset: blame the evil, incompetent boyars (read generals) and beg the Tsar for relief

Was America. Washington DC was built in a watershed, near the bottom. Capitol Hill is 100 feet above sea level. The highest elevation in DC is Fort Reno, a park

Galleon out back behind Mezhyhirya Residence

Is there a galleon out back named "Galleon"?

At least it makes sense in terms of a target that Ukraine might be after. Not much sense in how brutal it is to shipping traffic navigation

Typical tankie out doing Putin's, errr, Trump's work undermining the resistance from the left

Genocide, through child abduction, is at the top right below attacking civilians

East/West Berlin was inside of Soviet-controlled DDR. Nazi Germany, who was the aggressor, had been completely defeated.
North Korea was assisted by an aggressor state and they wound up still at war 75 years later, with NK still firing across the border
What a completely useless pair of analogies

Sounds good to me. US special forces to Kyiv so that they can fight 🇷🇺*them*🇷🇺. Or maybe just to find out what 🇺🇦needs to best fight them
Nevermind his fever dream about those mercenaries

Exciting plane spotting yesterday, Ukraine's Antonov AN-124, the world's largest active cargo aircraft paying Dublin Airport a visit

Yes. This is intended to halt the pursuit of a retreat, putting distance between the retreating Russians and the Ukrainian counterattack
One problem. The Ukrainians found out and now the Russian supply line is cut off from the rear and their line of retreat has to cross a river/creek. Double fucked

On this day in 2008, Russia invaded Georgia, beginning its occupation of 20% of the country that continues today.

Russia has had nine wars since the collapse of the USSR, all with intent of empire expansion, and has no plans to stop any time soon.

Its 'a bait-and-switch: She’s confusing (or conflating) hacking voting machines with the other forms of interference, such as propaganda and the hack-and-leak efforts...Rather than acknowledge...multiple forms of interference, Gabbard tries to stitch together a conspiracy.'- @noupside.bsky.social

Please read this excellent, point by point refutation of the claim that there was a "Russia hoax"

The NATO agreement that Trump "wanted", >/=2% GDP spending on defense by all partners was agreed upon in principle under Bush in 2006. Under Obama, the date for compliance was pushed back to the 2024 NATO meeting

Trump was intending to be in office when this happened so he could take credit for it

That cooling system is filled with a special non-conductive coolant that is a consumable, btw. It can only be topped up at a dealer at $80/liter.
All these stacked inefficiencies make the initial input of⚡at the start not take you as far.
The battery has an inherent advantage for 99.99% use cases

Once you have the fuel in the tanks, you run it through the fuel cell and you get electricity out and it runs like a BEV. But that process is not nearly as efficient. You are throwing away the unusable energy, about 1/3, in heat. That has to go somewhere, so you have radiators that create air drag

The Honda Clarity was a rather large 4-seater because you had to put a large round thing (2 actually) in a square space and still have the luggage space that someone paying $70k lease would demand. You also had a battery, not to limp home (forbidden), to assist the fuel cell for decent acceleration

Now, as my brother, a chemical engineer specializing in hydrogen combustion, pointed out, you can cheat a little bit by doing the electrolysis under a few 10s atmospheres pressure, but you still have to get most of the way there with tight tolerance pumps and heat exchangers

next, you put fuel in🚗

No. It's Physics. And Chemistry.
The efficiency advantage is simply how electrolysis works, that will never be more efficient than not having to do that at all. Compressing gaseous hydrogen to TEN THOUSAND POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH takes A LOT of energy and creates a lot of heat that must be lost

You don't need a home charger. You need a 220v 20A extension cord and access to a dryer outlet
Or charger can be run from the lighting circuit in your apartment lot
Apartments near have a Supercharger w/12 bays across the street;

Anyone with a (D) after their name, really. We have lots of examples where rich white guys were run out of office or had to drop out when they got caught cheating on their wife or a complaint about inappropriate conduct/words

Gingrich handed his wife divorce papers in her cancer bed
GOP, no problem

Hydrogen will never do the same thing. The losses in electrolysis and compression and the cost of the equipment, the need for careful operation and feeding will ensure they stay well away from where people frequent
The one in our town is in the corner of the gas station lot
Sodium batteries are here
