Thats not strictly true. Most hybrids now use a gas motor to augment the battery since commercially available batteries aren’t as convenient.
In all of them that I can think of, the gas motor never provides torque to the wheels, it runs a generator that then runs the electric motor. Same principle as diesel electric locomotives.
Also, western idiots have been allowing the CCP to buy a functional monopoly on rare earth metal mines.
Not nearly as happy as European defense contractors.
And all of the corporate news execs are elated because for the next 4 years they don’t have to worry about running out of news; because they think they’re safe.
Any advice on learning German? North America is lost.
Wc2: the Elven Archers would comment “that you don’t touch the other elves way.”
The .ml situation predates the whole reddit thing, no?
This thread is sad.
As a kid, my parents(read: mostly my mom) would see 400-500 kids over the night. Was really fun, you’d see everyone out having a great time.
In my last place it was mostly childless renters in the neighborhood but we’d still get a good ~100.
Hypothetical crazy talk:
It should be trivially easy to prove either way.
There will either be records on when it was changed or when it was discovered and fixed.
If there isnt, then it didnt fucking happen and Disney is lying.
Obligatory shoutout to Digital Extremes for their Tennogen program.
For everyone who thinks their vote won’t count.
The anti-vaxxer BC Conservative Party, of whom more than half are functionally Qanon fuckwits, came within 18 votes of preventing an NDP(left wing) majority government in British Columbia.
18 votes, in an election of more than 2 million votes. Go and vote.
Come now, modern day American Christianity has nothing in common with the Roman Catholic faith that spawned the Reformation in 1519, where the pope and his cardinals openly sold penances and salvation for money.
Ostensibly this is nothing to do with fascism. It has everything to do with a generational collapse.
In the developed nations(e.g. N.America, Europe, Taiwan, Japan, S.Korea) we are hitting it because the boomers took everything and sacrificed the well-being of GenX-onward to save their own positions without fighting for anything.
In China, the one child policy help avoid a massive youth population that wouldn’t have anywhere to fit in(and thus avoid formenting rebellion) but now as its too expensive for Chinese families to have replacement levels of offspring, they’re facing a much worse version than we are, they have a huge aging population who are starting to retire and nowhere near enough to replace them.
Investors.
China’s entire modern “economic miracle” is founded on housing as an investment vehicle.
You can in part blame Canadian Conservatives in BC, specifically Bill Vanderzam, Christy Clark, Gordon Campbell and Kevin Falcon; as well as federally, Brian Mulroney and Stephen Harper, for importing this behaviour and concept from Asia and its rise here. Initially in the late 1980s and early 1990s it was about attracting the elite of Hong Kong, who were afraid of what the handover of Hong Kong to the CCP would mean. (And rightly so, as it turns out.)
Vancouver BC is infamously unaffordable, and its entirely because of investors, both national and international using its real estate as a ridiculously effective investment vehicle. If you had purchased a home in the suburbs for 500k in 2006, that home would be worth well over 2 to even 3 million dollars today.
When Vancouver started capping out and hitting limits investors moved on to apply the same practices all over the continent.
I love the way Sir Terry Prachett wrote. In my opinion he is easily among the best authors.
But I like finding other authors that I don’t know about. This is an issue in fantasy and scifi because there are so many bad ones, or weird ones like Michael Crichton, who penned some fantastic novels, but then went off the deep end and wrote an entire novel about how climate change wasn’t real.
As such, a table like this is fantastic.
The problem is that he stacked the Supreme Court; they all knew that the SCOTUS would side with him.
So they didn’t challenge the issue with the probable intent of avoiding a supreme court precedent making him completely untouchable.
I keep track of a bunch of subreddits that dont exist here.
That said, its really getting bad for bots there. Even formerly tightly regulated ones like space are bot trash now.
I actually read the public mueller report for myself. I know what it said.
There are degrees of plugin hybrids.
One one hand you have things like the current batch of BMW “hybrids” that are just an underpowered(at least for the highway mountain passes where I am, they’re overpowered for city driving) gas car with a token electric motor.
But you also have ones that have a tiny gas motor that can be designed to run exclusively at peak efficiency. Is it ideal, no, ideally it would be 100% electric, but for the logistics we have, they will do for now.
