It's almost tragic how desperate these people are to try to move on from Epstein, despite it being one of the few things their voter-base is rabid over...
They didn't seem to notice their voter-base actually bought into the whole "protect the children" rhetoric they were using to justify increased surveillance powers and the regression of women's rights over recent years.
I sincerely hope Trunp's intentional ineptitude over the Epstein files will be the thing that fractures his voter-base, since it clearly wasn't everything to do with the utterly disgusting use of ICE
There were EVs as early as the 19th century (wikipedia I know, but I'm not doing a deep dive for a forum comment) and they were used for various applications.
So while there definitely was, and still is very much an anti-green economy conspiracy going on... that wasn't the only factor supressing EVs from mass production and usage back then.
Battery chemistry was inefficient - so a battery big enough to compete with IC engines even back then would've needed to be HUGE, making it both too unwieldy and expensive to justify putting into a car.
Any battery you could actually fit into a reasonably sized car was still prohibitively expensive, and had nowhere near the mileage to compete with the day's IC engines. So they just weren't viable for the masses.
And as Boon said, if nobody can make a profit making EVs for consuners, they simply won't make them for consumers.
It's only with cheaper and more efficient battery chemistry, and a booming green economy thanks to consumer pressure, that they're now starting to be able to make EVs that can compete with IC engines on both price and mileage - which is what consumers really care about.
Which is to say, if there truly was a competition destroying profit to be made, somebody would've done it... Which is why so many car companies were even researching EVs to begin with.
The problem with your regular conspiracy theorist is that the conspiracies they usually believe in are born of ignorance, and can be utterly dismantled with relatively little research.
Why would a corrupt, tax-dodging billionaire who literally embezzeled from a children's charity be willing to help anyone but himself?
How could there be a pedo-ring hosted in the basement of a random pizza restaurant with no basement?
From my experience at least, the conspiracies that turn out to be true are usually those where there is a concrete benefit to those involved, especially when it involves depravity.
Who stands to benefit from suppression of the Earth being flat, and how do they benefit?
Even to more "credible" conspiracies. If vaccines did cause Autism, and it was provable - why wouldn't one of the big pharmaceuticals have ripped their competition to shreds by showing that and releasing their own that doesn't?
Do pharmaceutical giants not like kicking their competition out the market and securing more profit for themselves?
The FBI’s quick move to investigate activists based on a far-right provocateur’s media posts comes at the same time the bureau has insisted it is not investigating the killing of Alex Pretti, the veterans affairs nurse shot repeatedly by border patrol agents on Saturday in Minneapolis.
Remember kids - ICE agents can gun a man down in cold blood and the FBI won't do shit all about it...
But God forbid you warn people that these downright feral agents are coming to a city near you, the FBI will be on you like a rabid dog.
Trump’s rhetoric was similar to that of Los Angeles-based federal prosecutor Bill Essayli, who tweeted over the weekend that, “If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you.”
Have they seen the multiple angles of footage of this?
Man had a phone in one hand and the person he was helping up in the other.
Unless he had a third hand somewhere, I struggle to see where the fucking gun was.
They really be taking the old GOP doctrine to psychopathic levels just to own the Libs.
There's already enough effort put into sabotaging AD blockers. If everyone used AD blockers, there wouldn't be enough effort on Earth to keep corporations from destroying them left and right.
Our safe-haven of an AD-free internet only exists precisely because most people just put up with it.
Having said that, I don't like things like Sponsor-block. I'm perfectly fine with the mega-corporation not getting my money, but I absolutely do want to make sure the creators who are putting cool things out there are getting paid.
Guy was shot dead by ICE officers for the crime of helping a fellow protestor that had been knocked-down by an ICE officer.
There shouldn't be enough money in the world to pay someone to spout this sub-human take comparing him to a horrifically vile serial killer, yet here we are.
Anyone who can agree with this unironically is indoctrinated beyond repair, or also being paid off. I refuse to believe otherwise.
I would say that salary and responsibilities are a fairly basic and fundamental part of a job.
If they won't tell you that until you take the position, it usually means the job isn't worth it.
The hope still holds that this AI bubble will pop before anything truly terrible can come of it, then it can go back to serving the niches its actually helpful for, rather than being used to screw with everyday working people, and we can all live happily ever after.
If anything in the stupid rumour-mill that is modern mainstream news can be true, can it please be that this AI bubble bursts in spectacular .COM style
Not defending cousin incest, but it sounds like the NHS is at least backing up its viewpoint with evidence.
Now as to unstigmatising cousin marriages, that's a no from me. There are 60 million other people in the UK, there's gotta be at least one that's right for you that's not also your cousin.
P.s. Trump should really have left the US out of this conversation given how infamous some of the Southern States are for this sort of "matrimony"
Not to be facious, but in simply asking this question you're already beyond the scope of the people most GUI tools are designed for (I.e. novices who either don't need this tool often enough to learn the CLI, or don't need the advanced features you'd get from doing so).
I agree on CLI text editors. I get why they exist, but for most users they should be a last resort, not the primary instruction.
Instead of telling people to use Nano, just tell people to edit the .conf in a text editor and let them choose!
Many users won't understand that what they're being told to do with Nano is literally just edit a text document with a funky file extension, and that they don't actually have to that it in CLI (in-fact it might even be easier not to if you're not familiar with them).
Exactly. The current "peace deal" is essentially give Russia everything it wants and ask no questions.
That's just a total surrender by a different name, and Ukraine has every right not to agree to that, given they're the ones being attacked completely unprovoked.
Just hours earlier, Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov insisted Moscow was not interested in agreeing to a ceasefire, instead holding out for a peace agreement that would end the conflict on its terms.
As far as I can tell, Russia's terms are, and always have been, that they want the land they stole and nothing less.
Maybe someone should tell Russia that trying to strongarm terms that nobody would agree to (short of putting a gun to their head) is obviously going to hold up talks.
