  • Seven out of 10 Europeans believe their country takes in too many immigrants

  • Neither the owner, Aaron Rubashkin, nor his sons Sholom and Heshy, who were in charge of the management of Agriprocessors, were convicted of immigration or labor law violations, although both Aaron and son Sholom were initially charged with 9,311 counts of child labor law violation, for which they could have faced over 700 years in prison if found guilty. All charges against Aaron were dropped right before the trial was scheduled to begin, and after a five-week trial Sholom was acquitted on all charges of violating child labor laws.

    Undocumented workers have no rights. If they don't accept the bad pay and conditions offered, they get reported. The state takes the current group of "troublemakers" away and you hire fresh immigrants.

    All charges being dropped against the owners of the plant just before the trial is either corruption or a plea deal. The owners very likely snitched on themselves in exchange for amnesty.

  • Hamas attacked Israel, counting on the response being disproportionate and bloody. They wanted dead Palestinians

    Yeah bro, they really just wanted to murder-suicide their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters Jonestown style. Trust me bro, they got what they deserved, bro.

    It is disgusting to suggest they wished for the massacre of their people.

  • Massacring and forcibly evicting an existing population to create an ethnostate, which then subjugates the previous inhabitants under an apartheid regime, is generally seen as a "not very nice" thing to do. To suggest that territorial disputes can only be resolved through war is unimaginative, ignorant, and flatly incorrect.

    Your question is unimportant because ethnostates and the forcible acquisition of territory are always fundamentally unjust.

    A civilian population is being brutalized right now. The killing must stop for there to be any reconciliation.

  • Russia plotting sabotage across Europe, intelligence agencies warn

    Jump

  • Yes, but that is irrelevant. France involving themselves opens them up to retaliation from Russia. If Russia retaliated against France, and even if not strictly required to by Article 5, it is likely other NATO countries would join the conflict.

    Jump

  • France putting "boots on the ground" would mean a direct conflict between nuclear powers and would likely drag in the entirety of NATO.

    Unless you want to live Fallout, such an escalation would be absolutely insane.

  • A stabbing is a stabbing. It's not terrorism, and the article provided no evidence of any "radicalization".

  • Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production

    Jump

  • Of course this could all be addressed by designing robust systems that implement strong redundancy, safety checks, and sufficient regulation, but that increases complexity and costs money.

  • I think we still need more time/data to get the whole picture. EVs are still in their early stages.

    It would be interesting to look at fire rates for vehicles at rest. These types of fires have the potential to become quite serious, as they are often not immediately noticed, especially if the vehicle is parked in a garage or remote area. This additional time allows the fire to spread and intensify.

    Since EV fires are typically more intense than ICE vehicles, we should expect EV fires to cause more damage to the surroundings and to spread faster. Though, this danger could be offset if EVs have a lower probability of self ignition.

    We should also look at fires while refueling/charging. Lithium cells are most dangerous when charging and discharging. While an overfilled gas tank is easy to spot and may catch fire, a continually overcharged battery is invisible and will catch fire. Also, because of the long charge time of batteries, many EV owners leave the vehicle unattended while charging and would not immediately notice a fire if one were to occur. In addition, EVs are often charged at home, in close proximity to residences and other vehicles, and often within garages. These residential locations do not have the same fire safety requirements and suppression systems as gas stations, so a vehicle fire at home is already much more dangerous and has the potential to severely damage your home.

    We have had a century to figure out ICE, but it's still very early days for EVs, so only time will tell.

  • LiPo batteries of the same capacity actually have the potential to be much more dangerous than the sodium cell shown here.

    LiPo packs typically use flat, soft walled cells which are far more susceptible to being punctured. In the event of a puncture or overcharge event, high temperature enduring flames are produced, with the severity and duration largely depending on the amount of energy within the cell. LiPo batteries also degrade at a much faster rate (both over time and with charge cycles) and have been known to spontaneously combust in storage while at rest.

    With the sodium battery, the thrust produced by the puncture could have been easily been overcome by properly securing the cell.

  • Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production

    Jump

  • Yep, less/no fire is very important when creating battery banks with many cells. The probability of single cell failure spreading to adjacent cells is reduced, making a catastrophic failure of the entire bank less likely.

  • Yep, cylindrical Li-ion cells like the 18650 already do this.

  • The United States leads globally in school shootings, with 288 incidents from 2009 to 2018

    Over the same time period, Mexico suffered the second highest number of school shooting incidents with a total of 6.

    https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/school-shootings-by-country

    So, the USA had 48x more incidents than Mexico, the country with the second highest.

    Hum, gee, I wonder what modern data looks like...

    Ok, so boomers are not actually people, facebook's 3 billion active users don't exist, and 250 million of those fake people are certainly not from the fake US.

    But TikTok...

    Amazing how we are talking of Chinese surveillance while the US just renewed another one of its surveillance bills.

    So much "I am immune to, and can spot all propaganda" in this thread.
