yes but that would look poor

Not going to lift the Trumpers out; Trump looked at China that was in near full panic mode and didn’t bother to consider how or why a totalitarian government could ever panic. He had the results of a US 2019 pandemic response live simulation that showed total failure and got rid of the pandemic office. Trump would…

The bulk of Australia’s cases came from citizens returning from time in the US and Americans bringing with them. Should Australians be calling it the American Virus?

These folks always need something to happen to them before they give a shit because empathy and a sense of community are the American ideals they choose to ignore.

I, a white man, had been told at different times by Quest Diagnostics that I was pregnant and that I should get tested for sickle cell.

I got a strip of holographic mirrored tint that flares up when assholes behind me in a lifted truck or idiots running with the high beams are on. Quite fun watching them cycle through the lights to get it to stop reflecting in their face. 

Cluelessness is understandable when GM puts out stuff like this:

Despite being quite familiar with the car, if you walked up to me and just said “Electra,” my first response would be “Lockheed.”

That is a less than realistic take about hydrogen. Batteries are improving far faster than nuclear plants are being deployed, nobody has high efficiency direct PV electrolysis in anything near production form yet, and making hydrogen is a whole lot easier than holding on to it. I do see a future where clusters of…

FCEV’s have additional moving parts and require a precious metal to be used as the catalyst for the electrochemical reaction. Because of their instant recharge times PEM fuel cells have been touted as a competing tech for years. They’ve yet to make any significant inroads into practical applications because batteries…

“Will the “industry” get there before the rapid increases in hydrogen and fuel cells make it pointless?”

Besting Mini who was only one decade behind itself!

The 18650 cells that Tesla used in the Roadster, S and X did exist in the 1990s... but were mainly used in laptops and other electronics.

The EV market is going to be controlled by 3 things: Brand Recognition, Technology and Range.

Tesla currently holds all 3 cards in their hands. Tesla is the most recognized name in the EV Auto industry. They’ve surpassed all other smaller market names and are now challenging “The Big 3" with direct to consumer sales…

We can credit GM with Tesla today. If it weren’t for the corrupt hand of the oil industry in killing the EV1, Elon wouldn’t have thought to dream up the strategy that eventually circumvents many of the obstacles that crippled GM’s attempts at producing an EV. Between the oil industry, conventional automotive…

own a Volt and concur about general public’s cluelessness.

Not sure what you’re nominating but I want it as much as I want to try Franch:

Jesus fucking Christ.

Meanwhile, after I was assaulted by a complete stranger I discovered that once an assaulter is convicted, it’s SOP for the state to take out a restraining order against them on behalf of their victim — who is named on the order, which the assaulter has to sign. So they get to see the name of the otherwise anonymous vic…

I think it falsely implies her murder only matters because she once dated Carey.
