  • Plan To Sell Scout Vehicles Directly To The Public Has California Volkswagen Dealers Hopping Mad

  • If you really want to make a successful utilitarian line of EV trucks you need a DC V2L standard capable of delivering 10 kW or more. Maybe something like USB-C PD with communication lines reduced in number and the power wires bumped up to 10 or 8 gauge wire. That would enable you to make BLDC-powered truck accessories that perform better and are cheaper than gas-powered alternatives.

    For example, a BLDC powered wood chipper with a 5 kW motor could chip branches up to 5” or 6” and, due to the nearly flat torque curve, it wouldn’t stall out and need to be unclogged like a gas-powered version. Log-splitters, post-hole diggers, saw-mills, etc. that are powered by small gas engines would all be vastly inferior to their EV-powered BLDC counterparts - both in price and performance.

  • Also, a Supreme Court justice who has taken millions in bribes ruled that bribery is legal. It's hard to have faith in the system when the nation's highest court is rotten to the core.

  • He has been on house arrest since 2020 after 9 years in prison and only had 2 years of house arrest left. His sentence was commuted but he wasn’t part of the pardons, so there’s no change to his status as a felon. All this means is they are removing his ankle monitor less than 2 years earlier than scheduled.

  • All the other cases where they sentenced someone with a federal gun charge for lying on the form were plea deals. ABC said they couldn't find any instances of someone being charged and convicted on that charge alone. You can't say this wasn't a politically motivated prosecution when the charge has never been used that way before.

  • I just finished Bob Brier's History of Ancient Egypt lecture series and he talked about this. They were the chief manicurists to the pharaoh. The lectures are over a decade old but really good - his enthusiasm for the subject is contagious.

  • He can’t get elected again

    He's going to start talking about a third term within a month of taking office. At first they're going to write it off as "jokes" and then he's going to push it to the supreme court.

  • Young Black and Latino men say they chose Trump because of the economy and jobs.

  • There are lots of people out there who think that inflation means how much prices have risen in some recent period of their memory. If something that cost $3 in 2018 is now $6 and you tell them inflation is at 2%, they will be completely bewildered as to how this can be true. There are also tons of people who don’t understand why deflation is bad or undesirable. If you can’t tell who is lying to you because you have no idea how the economy works, you’re just going to choose the one you remember as being better.

  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warns of potential impact of 2024 election

    Jump

  • I think most didn’t vote because they are apathetic, ill-informed morons with the attention span of a gnat. They don’t understand inflation, tariffs, deflation, international relations, trade, renewable energy, oil production, gas prices, vaccines, healthcare, or much of anything else. They also don’t care to learn about how anything works. It’s not like the last chapter of the history book on the United States is going to blame the pro-democracy candidate for not doing enough to appeal to a public that was too lazy to continue living in a democracy. They have access to more educational resources than any humans in history and they just ignore it.

  • Truck bloat is bad, sure, but have they even considered NOT buying a truck?

    Jump

  • Lumber is the main reason I miss my small 90s truck. Lumber delivery is $75 to $100 depending on which place you order from. That’s fine for big jobs but I often just need a few boards or a sheet of plywood. Places like Lowe’s have truck rentals but then you have to make two trips back and forth. If I do place a delivery order I have to buy lumber for multiple projects and buy in excess of what I need just to be sure I’ll have enough.

    I also don’t have trash pickup here and loading trash into a truck bed is much nicer than putting it into the trunk with potential smell and leakage issues.

  • Lead 204 is entirely primordial and the other isotopes found on earth would be found at roughly the same concentration were all of the lead on earth primordial. It's the excess ratios of the other isotopes of lead that can be attributed to radioactive decay. That is a substantial proportion of the lead on earth, but to say the "existence of lead" is proof of the age of the earth is entirely incorrect.

  • The photo the DPRK released showed a fairly small drone with a triangular shape. It doesn’t look sufficiently large to fly all the way from the ROK to Pyongyang, drop some leaflets and return to the south, meaning they should have been able to recover the crashed drone. Also, if it were a civilian group, they usually take credit for the balloons they send and none have said anything about sending a drone to the north. It really seems like something might be going on internally and the DPRK is trying to blame whatever is happening on outside agitation.
