LG have credibility, GM don’t. Is there an LG press release committing to these timelines ?

Well spotted, yes indeed

Food retailers have seen a “massive” increase in pensioner shoplifters over the last year, a security firm has said

While I am sympathetic to anyone who has to shoplift to eat, I’d suggest a little skepticism after noting two things:

One the time period (almost exactly lines up with the period that Labour has been in power) and,

Two the source - the Telegraph is nicknamed the Torygraph for a reason…they are the mouth piece for the conservative party and make no bones about it.

I’m no fan of the Blue Tories - Sir Keir would comfortably fit into the Conservative party of a decade ago (before their heads exploded) - I’m quite disappointed in their performance. But I’d counsel a little caution on taking what smells strongly of a propaganda piece at face value

Edit Red Tories doh. The American reversed colours has seeped into my psyche lol

Nope

Edit I’ve just rewatched the video 3 times and I can’t fathom where you’re getting that idea from. It’s a normal model 3 then it’s a model 3 with a tank on it.

If you really think there’s shenanigans then post a pic highlighting where you think you can see it

You guys in the press, with very few exceptions, are not trustworthy

And then he went to Salon ?

Agree withthe other guy, sparkies are more in demand. There’s a million indian programmers trying to emigrate

Somewhat ironically, the US is one of the easier places to migrate to.

Yeah. That’s not actually true.

The US is about the same as most developed countries, and I say that as someone who has (legally) worked in 6 different (developed/western countries) countries including the US (2 years there was enough, I didn’t pursue citizenship).

The perception that the US is easy to legally immigrate to is a strawman.

You guys do however have paths from illegal to legal that most don’t have - provided you don’t get caught first.

I think the implication is that Mango making the US no longer a secular power facilitated this.

Donated by the owner

“The car’s battery was removed and the vehicle made safe before it was crushed, the group said. The Tesla had been donated by an owner who said they were “appalled” by Musk’s public support for far-right movements in Europe.”

who is Ken Turner?

98 year old WW2 Normandy veteran who carried a piece of tank in his neck for 50 years according to BBC

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0j2s9cq

I can’t find any reporting on where he got the tank from but there’s a museum in the Midlands and another in Surrey with plenty of working WW2 era tanks - it wouldn’t have been too hard to rustle one up. I’m betting it’s this one, it’s the largest.

Battery swapping is a nice option for certain types of vehicles and locations

Yep, long haul trucking this would make sense, provided the manufacturers agreed on a standard. Battery swap points at key long haul stops would go a long way towards making EV trucks more viable (it’s close but marginal at the moment). Your own depot can be a swap point for bigger companies.

I’m not entirely sure it’s needed though - the move towards higher voltage faster charging may well make this a moot point, truckies already have mandatory rest periods, if the charge times and rest times can line up then it’s not worth the cost (they don’t quite at the moment).

If they tell you anything on the first day of President school that you absolutely need to remember: DO NOT FUCK WITH MILITARY MONEY.

He’s been doing that since day one. European countries have cancelled a lot of military orders (Portugal cancelled several billion dollars worth of F35s for example), and he wouldn’t even let Ukraine order Patriot missiles (they weren’t asking for freebies, they were ready with cash). Europe has announced a several Trillion defence initiative which is to be spent on EU arms not US ones…

If the military industrial complex aren’t mad with him yet then they’re not paying attention.

Errmmm, dateline Dec 10th 2024 - you’re a little behind the curve here

Users aren’t likely to point out a bot when the rules explicitly prevent them from doing that.

In fact one user commented that he had his comment calling out one of the bots as a bot deleted by mods for breaking that rule

The moment an authoritarian party gets into power the Governor/Queen can and has previously booted the ruling Government out. (See Prime Minister Menzies controversy)

Could you expand on that please ? I assume you’re not referencing Gough Whitlam’s dismissal by the GG at the behest of the CIA ?

I’ve had a quick search and can’t find anything pointing to conflict between Menzies and the Crown, nor anything suggesting the monarch or the GG booted him out. Could be a searching failure on my part of course so info appreciated

There is not always demand, you need to leave the torrent app running in the background when ever you have the PC on - then when someone wants it you’ll get a connection.

You may wish to reword. The unspecified “they” reads like you think Meta have strict ethical rules. Lol.

Meta have no ethics whatsoever, and yes I assume you meant universities have strict rules however the approval of this study marks even that as questionable

to the left

yet still barely over the left centre part of the political spectrum

Yeah, I chuckled at that. Labor is centrist with MPs soft right and soft left around the centre. The Greens are left but they lost 2 seats.
