I agree it is not abject malice, but it is her knowing that she, in her position, was safe from any consequences. It’s privilege. It’s what stereotypical white guys don’t realize they benefit from, and thus partake in, because it is so ingrained. They never think they are doing anything wrong, because they think that…

Also, with the long timeline, if they find the operating costs are saving them enough money in TCO, they can speed up the retirement of gas-powered vans and accelerate their transition to electric.

FedEx also has the benefit of choosing where they operate. It’s a lot easier to go EV and make those promises when you can just give your product to the USPS anywhere that an EV isn’t feasible or profitable

And also worth noting that America’s probably got more going for it in terms of ameliorating the problems caused by lower birth rates than a lot of the developed world.

We get our (20% subsidized by our county and state) 10kwh battery and 8.5 kw solar installed tomorrow. We don’t have a BEV yet, but are thinking of getting a BEV scooter for use in town, just for the tax credits we’d get for putting a charger on the house.

In 12 months, it’ll be following black folks around for “looking suspicious” regardless of their proximity to the border.

I tend to agree with you here--I think (my opinion only) is that there will be a permanent shift in business travel and airlines will have to adjust to that revenue loss (and the higher yields that accompany it). That said, what happened with UA328 just reminds everyone that, for as much as pilots are systems managers…

I mean, I’m not condoning everything they said, but...

Not just help your case, but help your business model to compete against valve.  Note that they requested complete annual data, not the data for one game

Apple is trying to obfusticate the point by this subpoena. the case is about Apple holding a monopoly on iphones, saying “they sell just find over there!” is like saying it’s fine for one person to own every piece of property in a city because a city across the country isn’t owned by them. can an iphone user…

Just so you know, when most people hear the term ‘gun grabber’ used unironically, they assume you’ve been indoctrinated, because no one outside of specific circles talks like this and aren’t an actual 13 year old making up names for the bad guys.

I’m glad you updated. Chun Li is from Tekken 3 for those wondering.

Why? Because he is arguing for better public transportation that will reduce the amount of cars on the road?

There may not be reliable data available, but this report is based on guestimates. Which means they took some SWAGs, then said “looks good”, and wrote an official looking document.

There is so much wrong with this study, we could kill a forest writing a report detailing its flaws.

As long as they keep it just on businesses advertising on Google in Maryland, that should be legal.

As a Maryland resident without kids I’m fine with this. Every time a tax is raised the boogy man that gets brought up is that it will get shifted to the consumer but the fact of the matter is it gets distributed. In this case it will get split between the ad buyer, the ad middle man and the consumer. Things may go up…

That sounds about right, minus a few slight variations pretty much dead on, and I know for some people the effects were far more pronounced and direct.

I can’t even imagine. It was pretty fucking horrible for this straight, white male too but for many of my friends who were either gay, lesbian, or of a different race it was downright scary as fuck

Neutral: Being a trans, a lesbian, and a witch made living in Trump’s America an anxiety nightmare.
