The irony here, is that an F35 has a max range of ~1,380 miles by comparison, though obviously an F35 can do in-flight refueling.

I don't want to get into a measuring competition, but is there a military that does logistics better than the US? I mean this very seriously and not at all in a jingoist way. Look at how fast the US went from Kuwait to taking Baghdad i

This is not new. As an example, the US Department of Homeland Security has been known to use Web of Science to help them identify foreign born researchers working in the US tied to their home country militaries.

Hermit crabs will absolutely use a plastic bottle top and it’s really adorable. My aunt had two “pet” hermit crabs when I was a kid. Really cool little creatures to play with and love on.

As much as it’s frustrating as they’ve both pretty good at this, it makes sense. National defense supply chains should not be dependent on potential adversaries.

Let’s not forget Chechnya, who’s former capital of Grozny was legit turned into a level parking lot.

Chains are for snow. They’ve got nothing to do with clearance. You mentioned unplowed roads. If that also includes mountains you tend to use chain. Get over yourself buddy. The level of arrogance is astounding.

The Dual motor Cybertruck can tow 11,000 lbs. It also has a max range of up to 470 miles if you get the range extender.

70mph is the upper end of the sweet spot for Tesla distance driving. I lived in Chicago for a decade and had a Model 3 for the majority of that (purchased it in 2018 new). From our house in Chicago to our family's house in Kentucky, it

Iceland has 41% EV adoption, and I'm pretty sure they have more snow than anywhere in the US (perhaps only comparable to Alaska).

Hybrids have the most maintenance and catch on fire more than 10x more than EVs. They are solving a problem that shouldn't be solved.

The irony here is that even the not so great American space programs, like the two you mentioned, are still leagues ahead of most of the rest of world’s space programs. Also, the SLS launch that’s happened was flawless. Sure the thing is ex

They tried to build a domestic program with Arianespace, but the cost for the engineering is too competitive. New space entrants like SpaceX and soon to be Blue Origin make it economically infeasible for all but the most sensitive EU NATSEC

The most hilarious thing is that the Imperial units came from the UK. They should blame the UK for the Imperial units, not us.

> max 13A, 4kW Wow! You'd get a better charge from a standard 15A 110V AC plug.

I didn’t include the crappy L2 destination chargers, of which there are a whole lot more of that support teslas. I was referring to the L3 superchargers / fast chargers or equivalent. The majority of the ones you linked are L2 chargers

You’re absolutely right. Thankyou. I guess in my head I grouped Latin America with South America which wasn’t correct.

The NACS standard still only supports single phase power. It was the electrician who installed my home charger that said it is why they weren't in Europe homes.

> It's a shame North America still has years of plug incompatibilities and adapter fiddling Not really, Tesla has over 24k charging stalls in the US. The second biggest is Electrify America, and they have only 3,800 charging stalls.

Which countries have landed men on the moon using garbage standards? Which countries have landed men on the moon using your preferred standards?

So there is actually a technical reason here. NACS isn't a thing in Europe because 3 Phase power is much more common in Europe. NACS does not support 3 Phase power, and as a result, is not that common in Europe.

X != Xorg. Xorg was a fork since X was mostly abandoned by the original maintainers.

Obligatory dns tunnel software for exfil. It is super noisy if you do dns querylogging, so I'd not use it for anything major, but it is a fun research tool. https://github.com/yarrick/iodine

Everyone thinks bears like honey, but in reality it is the protein from the larvae they are after. The honey is simply a nice side benefit.
