If they build it, will anyone come? Or does private social media only work because the user base is already scrolling endlessly there?


“majority”

You sound like you feel guilty after you masturbate and your favorite expedition was the Mayflower


Bitcoin has been moving like the stock market since 2020. Big investors got involved, small investors lost trust in stocks. I don’t fully expect the current halving to cause the rally like all the other times it halved. That is assuming it doesn’t keep bombing shortly after breaking $69,420, what I suspect is a meme sell limit price.


Maybe it’s rapidly changing via bot/invalid review washing. A screenshot from 3 hours prior to your comment shows it at 4.3 but still 14k reviews


Sounds like the same page as injected C-levels pushing Precision-Scheduled-Railroading at railroads with a massive boost to share value via slashed labor pools. 2 years later when labor can’t support operations and the company gets rekt, the new C-levels eject with a shiny parachute and dumped stocks.


I’m amused that liberals bash Tesla for being a conservative virtue signaler by extension of Elon, while conservatives bash Tesla for being an EV virtue signal for liberal tree huggers.


I don’t know what this is, so I just read it. OK… OK… Fine… What? what? Oh no. What a ride. Still don’t know what it’s purpose is, but damn.


That’s standard for the potus account. The name changes to who is current and that’s the channel used for presidential statements*. A president still has their own account, not named as president, and is used for personal statements.

Lensing. BMW HUDs bounce off a few curved mirrors before reflecting off the windshield so some key details appear 30ft in front of the car. Meanwhile, VR goggles have the screen unfocusably close but due to lenses inside, objects can appear any distance away (and it’s not just parallax, there’s near and far focus)


My car meme groups keep recirculating a shitty gotcha anti-EV screenshot of a post listing out how many tons of rock get processed for the minerals, the gallon-per-hour rate of the mining trucks, generators, transportation, blah blah blah as if petroleum just naturally drips put of weeds and into their gas tanks. But I guess if you dilute into the ocean and atmosphere, it doesn’t really count because you can’t see it.


I mostly see the N64 Rush 2049 car called Venom I think. It was mostly a Lamborghini Diablo. Maybe it just stood out in the sea of rounded futuristic cars.

Side note, I think the one called Euro LX was really just the BMW 6-series concept from the Bengal era. Funny how it landed in a mix of futurism that included a rocket car


That’s common for lots of batteries. My laptop has a setting to not charge between 50-70% because it lives on a dock and doesn’t need max life in travel. Batteries are stored between 40 and 80% usually. So it makes sense that a car with the same battery chemistry recommends the same thing. It’s only different in regards to a car being important in an emergency, but realistically, an emergency is unlikely to be both sudden and require long distance driving. So 100 miles of range is probably as good as 400 in common usage.



So they do a series of very precise, complicated drive cycles (with a few different options of which cycles and fuzzy math multipliers) to estimate a number that people will never reach because they’re doing 80mph. But somehow to anti-ev people it’s only electric range that is an unforgivable lie, not ambitious MPG ratings. It seems like a disadvantage to use a different rating system but I guess you can’t trust the gen pop to understand MPkW since they can’t picture a bottle of 1kW


Oh, you already know about it. No one else should bother reading then.


It’s not a surprise, it’s just a concern being presented because it’s not a thought for the average person.


29 minutes to animatedly blast one of the two claims that were “nutter bullshit”. This isn’t worth the watch. There’s maybe 2 minutes-worth of content refuting the 80% loss of energy due to reflection claim. Nothing is actually discussed about the TIPA’s attempt to improve output with higher angular offset from the sun. He also forgot part of their total efficiency improvement claim comes from greater packing density. Granted, the vertical array would get a reduced watt/m2 density per panel, but it could still have an overall improvement for daily/annual solar angles. Probably not worth it compared re-angling standard panel arrays a few times a year.

So the improvement percentage is bullshit and the leader gave a shitty response - nothing new here. That doesn’t mean the concept is entirely trash. But this could have been 5 minutes


I bet they’re also signing a service contract with the company that fixes McDonald’s ice cream machines


The Lexus RX350 convinced consumers that crossovers are cool and SUVs/CUVs are great for daily driving. But, the real culprit behind the transition was the Plymouth that CAFE classed as a light truck: the PT Cruiser, the wringer that lifted the Ram’s fleet fuel economy overnight


I can’t instantly jump to nefarious purposes. I mean I’m sure there’s nefarious purposes baked into it, but it’s reasonable that a marketing group knows the common reasons people leave their product. I’m guessing these listed options will actually trigger a popup/page that explains how to correct these exact things, like a FAQ. I’m not trying to be apologetic for MS, it’s just that the choice between edge and chrome is how you balance your data… Emissions? Both suck for that reason



Don’t worry, many have shitty drivers that will fail and poor cooling that will kill the diodes.


No one wants to download a government announcement app or go out of their way to check a government website. Twitter worked so well because people already had accounts, it was a widespread platform, and really helped maximize visibility. I don’t really blame officials for putting a lot of announcements on Twitter. It was either that or force some kind of app/system alert to get the word out. Yes, right now cell phones get amber alerts and weather warnings, but could you imagine the uproar if every bill vote, every infrastructure project, every hours change for each relevant government office was beamed straight to every phone? We’d cry out against the invasion of privacy and forced participation. Or worse, if the government ran the primary Twitter-like website to maintain control. We’d call it the protest as if it was the Chinese or North Korean government right at our fingertips. It was an OK solution in my mind until this entire debacle sought to capitalize overnight on a public fuckup
