Lmao you’re doing God’s work out here rehabilitating the totenkopf’s image. Just… why? Other than the obvious reason…

I still see it as a just a pirate symbol.

Do you also call everyone that owns a dog a Nazi

Holy mental gymnastics, batman. He was a fighter, a WWII buff, a marine, a mercenary, who bragged about “fun wars”, and got a Nazi tattoo in a former Nazi-aligned state, and beyond universal healthcare, he really isn’t even terribly progressive or radical. If the boot fits…

This bizarre type of simping for milquetoast, neoliberal, suspicious candidates is how y’all keep ending up with the likes of Hillary and Biden - who inevitably cede their power to increasingly right-leaning candidates. This refusal to demand better for the Democrats (and further, admonishing those that do) is how we keep diving deeper into the fascist decay.

Just a matter of time until one of these “once-in-a-lifetime” climate events triggers a positive feedback loop within an understudied or unconsidered corner of climate science.

1-Million-Mile (1.8-million-kilometer) batteries

After 2 million kilometers (1.25 million miles), CATL’s EV batteries retained about 400 km (250 mi) of range. Competitor cells, on the other hand, retained considerably less, at around 350 km (218 mi) and less.

The data is based on 12 electric vehicles, 100 sample batteries, and real-world applications across four major cities in China. You can see in the chart from Morgan Stanley Research that Models 11 and 12, which use CATL batteries, exhibit considerably slower degradation than the other suppliers.

What leads you to believe that CATL has been unsuccessful at achieving a 1 million mile battery?

Yes, there is. Based of a plethora of sources - some more reputable than others.

Coming into a comment thread that is calling out the manufacturing consent against Iran, and bleating “but Xinjiang!” is whataboutism if I’ve ever seen it.

And yes, you are parroting Zenz. He is the source of this myth - via countless western sources regurgitating the same claims he’s been making since 2018.

In March 2017, the Jamestown Foundation (Washington DC) published a three thousand-word report on “Xinjiang’s Rapidly Evolving Security State” written by Adrian Zenz and James Leibold.1 A few months later, the same writers published another report, this one slightly longer at nearly five thousand words, with the more aggressive title, “Chen Quanguo: The Strongman Behind Beijing’s Securitization Strategy in Tibet and Xinjiang.”2 At that time, there was not much interest in these stories. Zenz came from the Victims of Communism Foundation, a nonprofit organization set up by the U.S. Congress in 1993 and funded by various right-wing sources, including the Heritage Foundation.

You decided to offer the opinions of countries like Saudi Arabia

And, ya know, a plethora of others that you decided to ignore for some reason… Associating a large swath of Muslim and Arab nations with human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia really lets your racism show.

One can’t in good conscience cite the IAGS as an authority when they condemn the genocide in Gaza and then ignore them when they condemn the genocide in Xinjiang.

Then it’s a good thing I’m not doing that.

Wow, I’m so impressed that bastions of human rights like

Right back atcha

“For those of you who don’t speak Spanish, El Niño is Spanish for… The Niño”

If you commit atrocities, genocide, and kill 20 million citizens, dont be surprised when your victim becomes leery at the prospect of you remilitarizing only 3 generations later.

Im not worried about it. The driveway is primarily a concrete slab, with the aforementioned river rock acting as a sort of decorative strip along the edge. It sure does smell nice.

My neighbors mint spread to an area of my driveway that is comprised of (from bottom to top) weed barrier, 8 inches of CA6, and 2 inches of river rock.

Needless to say, we’ve been finding excuses to make as many mojitos as possible.

“If it only exists on your laptop, it doesn’t exist”

“Desperate” is one way to put it.

“Decisively effective” is more accurate.

Pointing to the Epstein case is proving itself to be a losing strategy. And still, what’s the best case scenario? Trump gets put in jail? The country is still owned by powerful rich fucks. Another person will take his place.

People often forget that ICE vehicles suffer from range reduction from the cold as well: ICE vehicles are up to 20% less efficient in the cold.
