RE: 1st gear:

Yea I’m afraid this is gonna be a “thing” now. Like masks but worse. Not only government bans but punitive taxes on them and of course on-the-ground fuckery like dickheads parking their coal-rolling pickups in EV charging spots and outright vandalism and road rage targeting EV drivers. Not to mention general…

I think there’s a lot logistical stuff that is getting glossed over with this article.  The soil/pavement/substructure needs to be able to handle a large structure being placed on top, the area needs to not have high wind loads that would shear off the panels, there is inherently some risk of liability any time you…

Roiland looks like the kinda manchild who brings a board game no one has heard of to a house party and throws a tantrum when no one wants to play.

The later segments of the trailer seem to show the kid AI watching the robots in action, presumably killing people, so maybe it develops some empathy for humans as well decides to somehow disarm both sides.

Those who don’t follow Hollywood closely may find the effusive praise surprising.

I saw one trailer and dismissed it as a Skyline/Battle Los Angeles-esque epic-on-a-budget movie. I thought Rogue One and Edwards’ Godzilla were both fine, but heavily flawed, so I really had no interest in this movie. Reading this has definitely piqued my interest.

Agents can start negotiating for that even if the unions don’t cover it. I recently listened to a podcast about this being the case now for creators demanding a digital or physical copy of their content in the event it gets disappeared from platforms. There are so many of these new realities that they are unlikely to…

From her suit, they had already sold their home in Miami and were expected to close on a home in England soon. So the move had been in the works for a while.

Pre covid you could buy tons of off-lease EV’s for under $20k. A Leaf with 50k miles was usually under $10k. E-golfs were easy to find at 15k.

With how much manufacturers have been trying to abandon the sub $30k market in general, I’m not sure it is a realistic expectation for some wave of BEVs in that price bracket. The Bolt & Leaf have been there. The Ioniq, Kona, ID.4, & Niro have been very close when accounting for credits. It’s not a lot, but the sub…

And how about linking many of them together so they can carry even more passengers and run more efficiently... I guess we just invented trains/trams, which are much easier to automate than a road vehicle.

That may be why she ultimately sold them off. Probably sees diminishing results in the licensing and royalties at the moment, while Litmus sees bankable profit in the years to come.

I’m not a pop music person, but I’m quite surprised Katy Perry’s catalog would be worth that much money. The cost of that transaction indicates the buyer thinks her music will have significant value for a long time. I kind of thought her moment had passed. Maybe I’m wrong. 

I am no longer a freelancer, I’m officially a staff writer now. Full time.

My old account was locked when I left a year and a half ago. I’m sure they could theoretically be connected again, but I don’t think it matters much. *shruggies*

Definitely. But given it’s coming from the Polish government I’ll take it with a grain of salt.

Also, for how long can it detect the drugs? 48h, 72? I doubt it's much longer than that.

4th: The problem is that without being able to sell vehicles in California a lot of makes are going to obviously put less emphasis on ICE vehicle production which republicans don’t want. The problem is they really have no option on the matter because California has an alternative nuclear option in that they can simply…

Especially in a world of cloning. Why would the Empire be screwing around with “normal” soldiers if they could just clone Force-sensitive soldiers? Sure, you don’t want a million would-be Sith Lords running around, but pumping out legions of brian-washed mini-Carries sounds like a hell of a lot better option than a…

Or there’s a third option: religion and purity culture fucked him up so bad he’s terrified of sex and women. It wouldn’t be the first time, and we’ve all seen seen what happens when men like that DO marry: Josh Duggar.
