"In the future, we’re going to need green fuels because you can’t electrify a large ship or plane — you have to use a high-energy-density, low-carbon-footprint, low-cost liquid fuel,”
Large ships are perfectly capable of being battery-powered. In fact, battery cargo ships might well be cheaper than oil-based ships: https://austinvernon.site/blog/batteryships.html
If Russia drops a bomb, then NATO immediately deploys conventional bombs with their own air force on all Russian forces in Ukraine, and China/India both sanction Russia (which basically means the whole world is sanctioning Russia, since nobody will want to piss off the USA and EU and China and India - even NK might sanction Russia).
In other words, if Moscow drops a nuke then their military and their economy both disintegrate.
The cheapest EV here in W-EUR is still 30ish K, and government subsidies are ending this year.
China has $5k EVs, it’s not a technical problem causing EVs to all be expensive.
likely economic deregulation
Friendly reminder that putting businesses in charge of regulation doesn’t result in deregulation, it results in different regulation - removing what hurts them and adding what helps them (protectionism, barriers to entry to hurt small fry, etc).
Oh absolutely, it’s asinine. But it does avoid Pokemon Red as prior art.
“In a 3D space” rules out Pokemon Red. Still bullshit, though.
Australians don’t tip, and Canadians are just Americans with a French accent.
Just like groceries don’t include tax in the advertised price.
Nah, that’s just in America, because Americans are dumb. Tipping doesn’t exist here BTW, because it’s idiotic and why would we do that.
(if Americans aren’t dumb, why did they vote for Trump twice?)
(I finally found an upside to the Trump presidency!)
I think tanks would be their best bet - mounted machine guns and can carry lots of ammo, and if they’re surrounded and about to be overrrun then they can just drive away - through the zombies. It’s a tank, it has torque up the wazoo.
Actually, no, barbed wire would be their best bet - the blade doesn’t have to move if the zombies slice themselves apart on it.
In practice, just use both!
I’m not saying that Elon Musk deserves his wealth, I’m saying the premise of the meme is nonsense.
These numbers are made up - specifically, they’re made up by the stock market. If you actually think Elon Musk has $273 billion dollars, I have some Saudi shares in Twitter to sell you.
The reason chemical weapons are banned is because (they’re monstrous and) they’re useless. You can fire a chlorine shell and if the wind is juuust right, it’ll kill anyone within a few meters. You know what else will kill anyone within a few meters? A normal artillery shell.
Except, chlorine gas can be blocked by an airtight gas mask and a chemical suit. They cost less than $500 for complete immunity to the weapon. Good luck finding a $500 flak vest that’ll stop a mortar though. And meanwhile, if you want to press the attack and benefit from your chemical weapons, there’s one slight problem before you advance: there’s a bunch of chlorine gas in the way.
In other words, it’s an unreliable and inferior weapon that gets in the way of modern military doctrine. Although there are some good niches in shitty armies by dictators who are too paranoid of coups to give their junior officers any independence or proper kit. Like the Iraq army that the US army utterly steamrolled in 2005.
Is it AC or DC?
The right wing has been making loads of pro-Russia noise, but do also try not to alienate their popular support too much before they’re in power.
Realistically, Trump will sell out Ukraine to Russia if he’s offered a good deal, but there’s no point publicly destroying his ability to welch on supporting Russia before he’s paid to support them (if you can’t afford to walk away, you can’t afford to negotiate), and there’s no point in Russia paying him before he’s actually in power and able to make the US govt cave in the first place.
You don’t just spam jump, you wedge yourself under an arch or something so that you can trigger more jumps per second.
The regular delivery of fuel is what powers the grid. The grid is what powers electric cars. In Japan, EVs are just ICE cars with extra steps, which is why they pursued hydrogen so ardently.
If Bethesda started giving a shit, they’d just overhaul+bugfix their existing engine, rather than switching. Switching engine is entirely unnecessary, because it’s not the problem.
Gay: Penetrative sex between a man and a woman, apparently.
The point isn’t to argue I think, it’s to inform others that he’s not credible (and he’s free to ‘defend’ himself via argument of course).
lol I admire your idealism.
