@elonmusk Then there would have been a pre-peak decline which wasn't the case for most prior civilizations. But is very much the case for us in the Now. Easily reversible logically, impossible to reverse culturally.
@_MG_ My guess: the AA battery. Smaller lithium cell within AA casing 30% weight. 70% high explosive + trigger. Trigger monitors energy usage for specific sequence to arm. Monitors rf strength to know when in pocket.
@_h_explora@anders_aslund This is them carrying the body from the stands. The African American Veteran in the white shirt on the right tried to cover the hole in the victim head immediately after the shot. The red hat ER doctor standing next to him performed CPR. They were all strangers.
@_h_explora@anders_aslund Your base presumption, that "they" deserve what "they've done" is what have Hitler his power. We've evolved well beyond that. You and Trump share the fallacy of moral justification. That makes you no better than he. Worshipping 2 sides of the same coin. Be better.
@tim_cook for education usage, particularly in grade schools, Apple should consider breaking out the screen time to before/after school hours and remove the gray bar as part of the total per hour if it occurs at the end of the hour since most schools have 45-60 minute periods. If a student finishes early many just listen to music.
Parents kind of freak out on the total screen time.
Or maybe allow grouping of blocks of hours, could be useful to corporates.
@ElectrekCo@fredlambert extreme cold the battery pack has too large surface area to be able to be heated. Below freezing the anode in the batteries gets plated instead of absorbing like normal called lithium plating. Reduced capacity and difficulty/dangerous charging. Basic chemistry, not the chargers.
@SullyCNBC Lithium batteries cannot be charged when it's freezing or over 1xx degrees. The surface area of the battery pack is so large preconditioning can't work when it's extremely cold. 2 hours charge time for a 45 minute charge is evidence of that.
The Chinese economy has stalled. They're bailing out their real estate companies, which they said they'd never do. They came to the US, hat in hand, were insulted by Biden, and didn't retaliate. Tesla is going to war with cheap Chinese EVs, here in the US, in the face of a stalling economy due to fed braking and exceptional inflation. And now you want to raise taxes. Genius really...
@anders_aslund You really ought to read the article you reference. They are inferring based on other multinationals that have no relation. No reference to the state of if the economy interest rates, savings dwindling, Chinese economy nose driving. Yellow journalism at it's worst
@anders_aslund The greatest irony is that some of those Tesla proceeds were used to save Ukraine indirectly through starlink. Would you rather have a musk or a federal employee be in charge of funding to save Ukraine?
@anders_aslund Your use of the word "enriched" is intentionally intellectually dishonest. Market capitalization reflects investors voting with dollars. The financial world doomed Tesla to failure from the start. They all drive one now. Even the ones that lost billions shorting Tesla
Biden is already dropping Venezuela sanctions in anticipation which is useless as that source would take years. Half the strategic petroleum reserve is gone. Biden=jimmy Carter is the US enters recession. The Republican nominee is guaranteed the presidency and support for Ukraine will be gone politically
If the conflict widens, the current administration will not have the support for two simultaneous wars. Israel will take priority and resources. Iran pulls oil production, Saudi cut due to dislike of Bidens lack of Yemen war support, Putin will be strengthened whilst Ukraine weakened as Americans ask why we are spending so much overseas, which factions of both parties are already asking.
