  • Family of man, 21, shot dead by police at Mar-a-Lago express disbelief: ‘We are big Trump supporters, all of us’

  • A really bad one? From a guy with a family of trump supporters? That went to a house no one was staying at? Who traveled from North Carolina? Seems like a pointless staging. No one's going to get all up in arms about this.

  • It's clickbait. The title says he was killed, but within the article his status is unknown. They think he was killed or captured, based on the cartels violence they started doing all of a sudden.

  • What are some Ship of Theseus bands, where all original members have been replaced by someone new?

    Jump

  • Oh, man. I've totally heard of over half of these bands.

    Jinjer is still awesome!

  • The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents

    Jump

  • In this instance, I'd say it doesn't.

    The lockdown from COVID stunted a lot of development. Then the tablets and just that kids are always on a screen drive it home. That and kids and parents don't care as much about failing grades, and the "no child left behind" has gotten about as corrupt and lazy as our government. Now it just means "your kids going to the next grade, regardless"

  • For the curious: The book is ok. The movie remake (there's been two or three movies made, I think) from the early 2000's is fantastic; but the thing is, it's so different from the book that it's barely deserving of sharing a name. Like, there's an arching similarity in story, but that's about it. The story in the movie is better.

  • The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about

    Jump

  • Well that sucks. I dug into your info a bit as well, and it seems true. Registered ecc ram that servers tend to use won't work on consumer desktops.

    Good thing I don't plan on upgrading my PC for at least a few more years.

    As a side note, I'm pissed off the ram and storage inventory issue has delayed Valves new steam VR headset release. I've never bought VR anything before and was looking forward to it.

  • I wasn't sure before, but after this last reply I can clearly tell that you're pretty dumb. I'm sorry for your loss.

    Just fyi: my mention of Amazon is because Slate is practically owned by Amazon. They're a separate company but Slate was created by former Amazon ceo's and Jeff Bezos has also invested 9 figures into it. So a slate is pretty much Amazon's truck.

  • All the ram being bought up is going to end up in the 2nd hand market as the hardware is all liquidated out. The prices will crash, and despite manufacturers not increasing their productions lines to build more ram, will still have to compete against themselves from the used market, meaning they won't be able to keep trying to charge crazy high prices.

  • LFP is only typically about 15% less energy dense than NMC. You're dead wrong about EV manufacturers moving off NMC. LFP is cheaper to make and lasts way longer. Only the US has more issue, because we've pissed off everyone else and getting lithium can be a potential supply chain issue.

    The tax credit didn't get killed off until the end of 2025. Way after Amazon had already purchased the batteries from a South Korean manufacturer, that was chosen because they have a fab in the US and it was going to meet the EV full tax credit (this is well known and documented. Go see for yourself).

    You also don't know that everyone will buy the bigger battery option. The range is supposed to be like an extra 100 miles, but Amazon hasn't given price differences yet. If the base model is $25k, but the extended range model is over $30k, the smaller model may very well sell good. They're just being made as city trucks. Neither battery is big enough or charges quickly enough for long road trips, so a lot of people may not care about the extra range. Depends on pricing.

    The 100k battery replacement is pretty spot on. Smaller batteries means more complete charge cycles done faster. NMC noticably degrades after around 800 cycles. The batteries will start needing replaced at 10 years and 100,000 miles.

  • Lol. No it isn't. The batteries are only 53kw\h in size and they're using shitty NMC batteries instead of LFP (or other) batteries because they want the full $7,500 tax credit. $500 would more than make up for the aerodynamics. No manufacturers want to use those batteries anymore because they only last like 2\5 the charge cycles compared to LifeP04, and it get even worse compared to other batteries coming out right now. Really, putting those batteries in something with only a 150 mile range is kind of a shitty move, IMO. You'll need a new battery after 100,000 miles. Fine for a cheaper option I suppose, so long as the batteries are easy to replace and it won't cost $5,000 in labor.

  • The price crash is going to be great. Such a massive yo-yo. Most of the AI companies will just completely eat shit out of it.

    Jump

  • Riiiught. How is that going to make it cheaper? They can use a bit smaller of a battery to get the same range? That size difference would just be around $500.

  • I'm not sure if you're gaslighting, dumb, or just have the memory of a goldfish.

    Did you not know that in 1994 Democrats passed an assault rifle ban and magazines couldn't hold more than 10 rounds? It lasted for an entire decade. Joe Biden talked about trying to do it again, but harsher. It was also 1934 when Democrats created an incredibly high priced tax stamp requirement for automatic weapons, which kept most people from affording a purchase if they wanted one.

    It doesn't matter if you know a bunch of gun owning Democrats. So do I. That has no bearing on the fact that a bunch of Republicans vote red no matter what because "the Democrats want to take their guns".

  • Not really true for pricing. A small truck isn't much more weight or material than a sedan.

  • I was a part of Amazon vine for a while. It's Amazon's program where they offer you shit for free that other companies want to give away in order to get reviews rolling in for new products.

    Amazon offers around two to eight "just for you" items most days from these people, based on your order history and ad info crap they have on you.

    Well I made the mistake of getting a black toner cartridge for my laser printer through vine once. That will last me like a decade.

    Apparently, Amazon now thinks that I own 5000 printers of all different kinds and I'm never good on ink. Most days I would have at least 5 of my recommendations be printer ink or toner. Every single damned day it wanted me to get more ink. For months and months and months.

  • Argue semantics about this however you like, but in the US, as far as 95% of the public is concerned, their are two parties. The left are Democrats and the right are Republicans.

    Generally speaking, for at least the past 40 years the Democrats have been the ones to try taking away gun rights, while the right has prevented it or put them back. Many people who vote Republican straight up do it for the sole reason of "the Democrats want to take my guns".

    That's the reputation the Democrats have. It's true of them, and it's stupid of them.
