I follow what's happening in the craft beer world, and some brewers are up in arms due to the fact that the government has to approve labels for all beers that are sold across state lines, or else they could potentially face career end

Yeah, I read that article when it came out, and it seems that these guys were trolling hard. However, I'm willing to bet that once a truck fan (not the ones in your article) drive an electric pickup truck and experience all the low end

I honestly think that this will help make electric vehicles more mainstream. People here in the US love their F-150's, and if Ford could make die hard truck fans switch from a V8 to a TTV6, then they're the ones that can convince

I find it scary that so many people are seemingly ok with de-platforming and having private companies act as the thought police. Is this because the ones who are being de-platformed are viewed as right wing provocateurs?

Completely agree. Someone on LinkedIn shared an article that was written by the CEO of Blue Shield of California that was basically bemoaning efforts to overturn the ACA under the guise that people would become uninsured. Never once was it

I thought that a lot of the younger nuclear plants were still around, and that only the very old ones were being retired. Also, aren't gas plants peakers (as well as baseload) due to the fact that they can be spun up quicker than coal?

Pickups absolutely exist outside of the US. It's just that the pickups that are sold elsewhere are generally smaller than what we're used to in the US (think old Ford Ranger/Chevy S10 size instead of a new F-150).

If I were Invision, I would either invest in or buy out Figma, and have it replace Invision Studio. Figma is on the up and up, and from what I heard Invision Studio looked good, but the execution was poor.
