It’s the stupidest fucking timeline

I mean, he accepted Mary Magdalene who was a literal prostitute.

Why does he need a drum with a fish in it?

Back in 2013 it was my dream to own a Tesla and not have a gas car. I was able to do it in 2018 and now that it’s paid off I don’t want to hop into another car payment.

I feel a sense of betrayal in that I thought we were all in it to help transition to cleaner energy usage and whatnot but instead it’s another speculative investment vehicle that only exists to make a few people stupidly richer.

I just want companies to turn into things that make valuable products and aren’t only focused on “stock number go up”

Listen, I’m happy for everything that makes communicating easier but to paint Google and Android as some champions of messaging is just straight up crazy.

I was an android user since the beginning of modern smart phones (and before that I used Windows Mobile 6.5 😵‍💫) and messaging has been an absolute shit-show on android for almost the entire time. Google finally had a good solution with Hangouts (circa 2014) but they killed it and spawned so many messaging clones that I lost count.

The reason why we have such fragmentation and so many different apps we have to juggle to communicate on android is because of the clear lack of vision and leadership in that area in Google.

Even RCS is freaking fragmented as well. Take for example E2E encryption, that doesn’t work unless you go through google’s servers which you can’t really guarantee so you’re getting a different “RCS” UX depending on who you’re texting and what servers are being used on the backend.

After I switched to iPhone from Android it was like a slap in the face on how much better just communicating to people was on iPhone. Google isn’t the fucking hero here.

BMW EV surpassed Tesla sales in Europe for July.

You sure about that?

So how do you figure there is no competition without China?

That’s not what I was saying. What I am saying is that if left unanswered, those cars would kill all of the current competitors over time and then after that we’d be at the mercy of whatever the Chinese car manufacturers would want to charge and we’d be unable to stop it.

I’ve lived in PHX in 1991 and it still got really hot but it cooled off a ton during the night. 45°F swings were the norm.

Now you’re lucky to get under 100 by midnight 😭😭😭

Ugh, that is true but no way should we compromise on that IMO

Literally didn’t say any of that. I was stating how the US could be competitive.

The main problem with BYD cars is that they are heavily subsidizing by the Chinese government.

If you remove those subsidies then those cars aren’t going to be very competitive. But the problem would be that by the time the Chinese government stopped subsidies, there wouldn’t be any competition left.

Our best ways to counteract this would either be through heavy tariffs or by subsidizing our own companies in the west.

MAGA wants to do the tariffs route which is basically a bandaid solution that would prevent the Chinese companies from owning the US market but it wouldn’t do anything outside of that. Plus it doesn’t solve is being competitive, it’s just covering its ears and “lalala”’ing the issue for later generations to deal with it. Which honestly, that tracks for basically their whole platform.

If you do the subsidies route though, we’d have to make sure we’re not just constantly lining Musk’s pockets but Tesla is the company has the biggest head start. And Musk is a PoS but the devil’s credit is that our EV market wouldn’t exist without Tesla.

IMO, we need to diversify our EV makers and help provide the capital to bootstrap it. And while that’s happening we need to not let cheap Chinese cars flood the market to undercut any chance we have. So basically we need a combination of both solutions.

It seems like it used to be 35° but now it’s ~34°.

I don’t have access to the actually study but I would hypothesize that it’s likely because we are seeing more studies about things like this and as we collect more data that’s changing these values to be closer to what we see in the real world.

It’s also at 100% humidity in case that wasn’t clear.

Edit: ok so what he posted wasn’t wrong but the study said that it could be as low as that for some groups of people. For the average person it’s almost 10 degrees C higher which is lower than it used to be.

However for heat sensitive people (not sure what that means) it can be disturbingly low

My only regret is that I have but 1 upvote to give you. This is a fantastic summary!

I like your style

Ignorance is ok but apathy is not

Honestly, these are the photos that we need to be sharing. The guy is a joke and needs to be made fun of to take him down a few pegs.

I misspoke. I meant this isn’t in front of the Supreme Court currently. It might be making its way up there though.

There was a script for one but Alan Rickman passed away (😭😭😭) and it got shelved. There are always rumors circling about still but nothing concrete.

This isn’t going to the Supreme Court. You might be thinking of this https://www.vox.com/scotus/367701/supreme-court-arizona-rnc-republicans-mi-familia-vota
