  • TIL about Detroit Electric

    Jump

  • Those older cars with the huge windows and great visibility handled rollover accidents by crushing the heads and necks of everyone inside.

    At some point we decided the passenger cabin shouldn't be the primary crumple zone, so you can't make cars like that anymore.

  • Donating to the Poor

    Jump

  • This. It isn't tax bullshit, it's marketing bullshit.

    They can run a PR campaign telling everyone that they donated money to charity and just gloss over the part where they donated your money to charity and didn't give anything themselves.

  • The AI Industry Is Discovering That the Public Hates It

    Jump

  • It's not even really market forces, because they're using investor money to push AI for free or way below what it costs. We have a ton more AI than market demand for it.

  • Donating to the Poor

    Jump

  • You're a billion dollar corporation, I'm using a coupon to get a dollar off a bag of potatoes. Why don't you donate.

    Or better yet, pay taxes. Just once to see what it's like.

  • Hawaii is turning ocean plastic into roads to fight pollution

    Jump

  • At least they're taking plastic garbage out of the ocean to use, so if it all ends up back in the ocean we aren't really any worse off.

  • Kash Patel sues The Atlantic for $250 million over alcohol abuse claims

    Jump

  • It's particularly hilarious if they manage to prove in court that their reporting is true.

  • Trump’s scandal-ridden Labor Secretary resigns after reports of drinking and misconduct

    Jump

  • Well, there’s Kash Patel, he’s looking shaky.

    Cocaine will do that.

    Oh right, I see what you meant.

  • Trump energy secretary says gas prices might not drop back under $3 a gallon until 2027

    Jump

  • The used EV market here has just vanished. There's almost nothing for sale and prices are almost at new car levels for decade old EVs.

  • US may force operating systems to have mandatory age verification, share info with third parties

    Jump

  • I personally would like to congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs.

  • ‘Vengeance for all’: How Iran’s Lego videos won narrative war against Trump

    Jump

  • I read the first line or so and my brain says, "Yep, that's another Trump ramble." and discards it.

  • ‘Vengeance for all’: How Iran’s Lego videos won narrative war against Trump

    Jump

  • It helps that Trump's narrative is incoherent, changes daily and is an ALL CAPS WALL OF RAMBLING TEXT. It's hard to say how Iran's narrative would stack up against a competent administration.

  • A wave of low-cost electric trucks is heading for Australia

    Jump

  • They aren't idle, they're just being loaded and unloaded or sitting in traffic instead of doing 110 on the freeway.

  • A wave of low-cost electric trucks is heading for Australia

    Jump

  • You don't have to electrify everything on day one, though. A lot of trucks are probably doing less than 100km a day, with a lot of stop/start and idling which wastes a lot of diesel but an electric truck won't care about.

    There's a lot of low hanging fruit to pick before we start worrying about regional road trains in off-grid areas.

  • A wave of low-cost electric trucks is heading for Australia

    Jump

  • This. For a freight truck, those 75 kW chargers are basically trickle chargers. They want 400 kW to put on a decent amount of charge during a half hour break. Their charging needs are a whole other level.

    IIRC some of them don't even come with onboard AC chargers, since even 43 kW AC would take 20 hours to charge them up anyway so most fleets aren't going to do that.

  • Gen Z men want babies more than gen Z women. What’s behind the 'cluck gap'?

    Jump

  • "Make America great again!"

    "You mean like it was when billionaires had a 90% tax rate?"

    "No, not like that!"

  • Viktor Orban swept from power after 16 years ruling Hungary

    Jump

  • Hungary and Slovakia used to cover for each other. That doesn't work without one of them.

  • Ditch SUV's

    Jump

  • Sure, driving to work in a city in an SUV is perfectly sensible, there's no other way.

  • Ditch SUV's

    Jump

  • To be fair, those cars with huge windows and great visibility handled rollover accidents by crushing the heads and necks of everyone in them.

    Everyone driving SUVs to get to the office is dumb, but we don't want to go back to the days where the passenger cabin is the primary crumple zone either.

  • D.C. Grand Jury Orders Reddit to Turn Over Data on Anonymous ICE Critic

    Jump

  • The Reddit hivemind is a bit like AI, now that I think about it.

    They'll give you a confident, reasonable sounding answer. Any accuracy will be completely accidental.

    In honor of the mostly FTTN NBN, I've made this copper coloured poop emoji.
