I just read an article stating that Ford lost 36k on every EV they sold in 2023… In a market where they had government protection from Chinese EVs.

I think you would be surprised. The problem really comes from the car not being a good shape to put solar panels on. I did the math a while back, and I only needed 200w of panels to cover my weekly driving.

That’s what the batteries are for?

Source : I drive an EV on cloudy days.

I think a fairly basic EV Focus platform would absolutely kill it right now. Ford has the Eluminator motor as a crate engine. Just throw enough battery in there to do 190 miles and people would go nuts.

^^ This.

They can’t replace prosecutors with dumbfuck loyalist and expect to have successful prosecutions.

They’re already trying this with Alina Habba, and that experiment is a disaster on such a scale that it would be Frontline news… Were it not for the news about the first shots of a civil war, or the president being a human-trafficking pedophile, or an unwarranted military action in Venezuela, or the disinitigration of NATO over Greenland…

See, this is exactly what I was talking about. No, I’m not doing any of that. Take a hike.

My WiFi wouldn’t work until I disabled fast-boot in the BIOS and restarted the system twice.

TBF, even with that headache, setting up a windows 11 machine without signing up for an account and personalized ads takes more effort. So I consider it a total success.

Shutdown doesn’t actually turn off the PC anymore. You need to do a restart if you actually want to “shut down” the computer all the way.

I see way too many systems where the CPU has been up for more than 100 days.

Damn. My main weekly lunches are Red beans and Rice or Cincy chili. Weird finding my Filipino doppelganger on here. Def hit me up with that Adobo recipe.

My wife does this and it kinda bugs me. I have some Native American ancestry, but I don’t know who it was, my family hasn’t been carrying down tribal traditions. So I wouldn’t claim that I am partially Native American. I’m a white dude stuck on stolen land, claiming a birthright to their heritage is just an attempt to steal the last fucking thing Native Americans have been allowed to keep.

Fox news already admitted (multiple times) that their programs are not news, and that no sane person would consider it news.

I think we need a law that says if a media organization is guilty of intentionally spreading fake news, that they need to spend an equal amount of time and effort on correcting the story.

So if fox spent 4 years spreading disinfo about the 2020 election, then they need to spend 4 years, on the same timeslots, broadcasts, and webpages, reporting that they intentionally spread disinfo.

Also, they should have to run a “surgeon general anti-smoking” style banner on all their programming that says “FOX INSISTS THAT THEIR CONENT IS NOT NEWS AND DOES NOT ACCURATELY REPORT FACTS AND CONTEXT.”

No, it’s not that. You’re definitely wrong. Slaves being bought, sold and abused were complying with the law, and that did not work out for them. People of Japanese ancestry were complying with the law when they were moved into concentration camps during WWII, and that was not okay. Just complying with the law is not going to protect you from harm. To add to this, black people had to fight against the law for almost a century in order to get recognized as equal to white people. Women had to protest and non-comply with the law in order to get recognized as equal to men. So active non-compliance is practically a requirement for things to change for legally marginalized people.

The real problem with explaining it all is that every time I see someone going hard to defend the absolute dumbest, room-temp IQ, stance on a situation, it’s usually you, or like 3 other people. I don’t even have to read your name to know a post belongs to you, the absolutely backwards crap you post has it’s own very unique style that lasts substance or tact. I don’t think you could be convinced that you are wrong, despite the preponderance of evidence that you couldn’t be further from the truth.

Yeah. I’d like to see the NG stop every vehicle going in and out of the ICE facility.

“Just running a quick check boys. Where are you going? What are you going to do there? Do you have a signed judicial warrant? Okay, we’ll get you there. You’ll have a leading and a tailing escort vehicle, and 8 armed National guardsmen to ‘protect you’. Once you have executed your judicial warrant, you will be escorted back to this facility”

Basically, make sure that everything is on the up and up every time these guys go out. I think enforcing a bureaucratic slog will kill the raging gestapo cosplay boner these ICE troopers have.

I don’t think I can.

Comply with the law and nothing will happen to you

I concur. Don’t listen to internet keyboard warriors.

You gotta make that home-field advantage work for you.

I can send you some great instructional videos from Kevin McAllister.

Not really.

Fighter Jets were mostly post WWII, and the Goblin was an experimental aircraft that was never put into production and never saw combat.

They’ll shoot you if you try to camly drive away from a man trying to get into your car.

Yeah, you can’t yell at someone to RTFM when they didn’t opt to use the product, and the “manual” is just a barrage of question on a Microsoft support forum where every answer goes to a Microsoft.learn page that hasn’t been updated since 8.1.

Won’t really make a difference. Your car will go 70mph on flats. They’ll probably shred or catch fire, quickly, but it will get there.
