He is documenting. The court does not forbid documenting crimes in any way, shape or form.

The ‘system’ can never deal with all the scofflaws in a society, without the help of regular people. 90% of ‘law enforcement’ is from your fellow citizens giving you the evil eye or yelling at you. If you jaywalk in a place like Germany you’d get a hard bump in the shoulder by stranger.

There is no reason why this video has to blur the plates. Show the plates as they are. There is no expectation of privacy in public.

Cabover pickup! I like that!

What a wasted opportunity. This is a city rich with industrial ruins. They could have marketed Detroit as an adult Disneyland for urban explorers. Now they will level all these grand factories and replace them with wire fences. Detroit will henceforth only be known for murders. Because it’s illustrious history and…

Most western men today are feminine......... men are pathetic, weak, and incapable of taking the lead.

Good datapoint, but keep in mind that California accounts for nearly half of the EV’s sold in the US. EV adoption is heavily skewed towards the high cost coastal states.

But ironically EV adoption is pretty high in Hawaii - 4th highest among the 50 states:

We had a Leaf back around the 2015-16 time frame and it did make great economic sense back then because the off peak rate was around 11c per kwh at that time. But nowadays the off peak rate is like in the mid-high 20's, and it’s just not the slam dunk it used to be. It’s still cheaper than an ICE car for sure. But…

Akio Toyoda has been a real mixed bag. So while I appreciate that he tried to bring fun cars back into the fold, the styling has taken a disastrous dive under his watch. It went from boring and inoffensive, to not-boring but rather offensive.

There were fun Toyotas before Akio Toyoda though

It’s all fun and games until it’s your job getting replaced by ChatGPT

the project led various state Bar Associations to open investigations into his company

Probably Mexico.

For regular consumer use, chrome plating has pretty much disappeared here in CA. But the problem is there is still an industrial use for chrome plating, and it’s not clear if there is an alternative.

So you are saying you pay ~12 cents per kwh? Good for you, but that is not what most people pay in the US, right? edvf100r’s figure of 25 cents per kwh is more the norm. Here in the Bay Area it’s somewhere in the low 30 cents peak and maybe mid-high 20's off peak.

Except right now 19% of the new cars sold in California are EV’s. So it’s definitely not true that nobody is buying EV’s.

Lithium mining will be a big problem going forward. The solution is to ban these humongous EV’s. China has the right idea- keep the EV’s tiny, so they don’t need big batteries. Ideally we would all roll around in something the size of a Spark EV or I-Miev- with just enough range to get us to work and back. On the rare…

Or not. The pandemic has already shown us the way forward- telecommuting. There is really no need for the vast majority of us to go to an office. Or even to go to school every single day. Or go shopping. We can do all those things from the comfort of our own home.

Actually the percentage of Americans who smoke went from 42% in 1965, down to 12% in 2020. So over time, articles like these do change people’s behaviors.
