  1. One problem with this strain of thinking will persist even if Trump loses. There will be others continuing to push them and trying to exploit them for their own gains. These ideas are gaining in acceptance among those who use labels to claim they wish to "conserve" the principles of the constitution. This is about power in the purest Game of Thrones sense of the term. It is not about principles nor protections of citizens in the realm.
  2. lol. I preferred brown liquors more than vodkas, but haven’t walked any paths involving alcohol in a good long while now
  3. Anything? It was right before your post. You even quoted it.
  4. I would advocate for both and, not either or. I do, however, believe infrastructure at the scale we’re discussing will cost more than point of service updates at the individual vehicle level, yes… at least in the US. I readily stipulate that I’m rooting this in intuition more than fact and that I’ve not done research or discovery sufficient to properly defend this based on studies and forecasts et.al, but it was easier for Elon to rollout teslas than for Eisenhower to implement interstates.
  5. … were also not posted here, but thanks for the intentional misquote As you’re so hung up on definitions, one would think you’d use words like ad him correctly, but alas… no such luck
  6. No admins have posted here. It’s really a wonder you guys have trouble with mating. Mind boggling really given your mellow way
  7. It’s cheaper and more scalable than overhauling the infrastructure everywhere, especially in rural areas and lower traffic remote roads and regions
  8. Duly noted. Glad you’re here to dumb things down and explain to me what’s expected.
  9. That’s a nice strawman you’ve got there. It’d be a real shame if you tried engaging in good faith
  10. Given that it’s not your thread nor are you the OP, what you need is little more than an irrelevant distraction and serves as further evidence of the toxic sense of delusional entitlement so rampant among those identifying as and associating with incel culture. I shall continue using words in whatever manner I please, and encourage others to do the same. It’s really no surprise women don’t want folks like you in their lives nor in their beds. It’s bad enough having your repugnant attitudes and myopic toxicity in these threads.

  12. Because information is collected across multiple streams and sources, each with different weighting and timing. Your question is a bit like asking what is the center of the atmosphere or the center of the ocean or the center of space. Even if there was a clear simple answer that would satisfy your ape brain, the answer itself would change from one moment to the next since the system is ever evolving and never static. Subjective experience is deeply tied to focus and attention. Where is your focus when taking a math test, or where is it when running a sprint? Where is it when you’re doing either of those things without having had good in the past week or without having slept in the last several days? The problem is you trying to force a single monolithic oversimplified answer to a complex system level question.
  13. Simply repeating an invalid claim over and over doesn’t magically render it true
  14. Just to amplify exchemists last point, the foundational premise of this thread that fires are a bigger problem in EVs is simply false and is likely an example of buying into the unfounded partisan propaganda on this topic. https://www.forbes.com/sites/neilwinton/2024/04/21/electric-vehicles-not-guilty-of-excess-short-term-fire-risk-charges/# EVs represented far less of the reported fires than might be expected given their market share. Estimates by the Phosphorous, Inorganic & Nitrogen Flame Retardants Association reported 55 fires per billion miles travelled in ICE vehicles and five fires per billion for EVs. A report from AutoinsuranceEX said EVs exhibited 61 times fewer fires per 100,000 sales than ICE vehicles. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/mythbusting-evs/mythbusting-world-evs-are-electric-cars-susceptible-catching-fire The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) reported 23 fires in 611,000 EVs during 2022, or 0.004 per cent in a year, which makes it 20 times less likely to happen than ICE car fires, which burned 3,400 times in 4.4 million cars, or 0.08 per cent. MSB has also recently proven a new way to extinguish battery fires fast.
  15. Toyota has been talking about those for over 15 years already yet here we are, still waiting for this emerging technology to emerge. http://www.electric-vehiclenews.com/2010/12/toyota-announces-4-layer-all-solid.html
  16. It’s your attitude and worldview It’s six (6) pages now you’ve been droning on and on and whining.
  17. What are YOU doing to help?
  18. This is a financial and political challenge, not a technical, scientific, nor engineering one. We know what needs to be done. Now we just need the collective will to do it.
  19. The OP displays all the hallmarks of a self-reinforcing delusion
  20. The simpler answer here is that this is conformation bias. Humans find patterns everywhere even when they’re not there. Pareidolia Is powerful, and all one needs to do is think of the countless many more times people die and nobody feels anything. Until / unless you survey ALL deaths and compare that against times loved ones felt “something,” you also have a sampling bias. You have anecdotes, not data. Further, you’ll need to propose a mechanism better than Sheldrakes morphic resonance.
