This exists in the US too, it’s called Coors Light (4%). It just tastes like donkey piss.

I think there are more buyers than you think that don't want a Tesla.

It's only relevant insofar as fast charging stations have a huge impact on how long you have to wait. The fact that basically only the Tesla network offers this is a pretty big limiting factor.

The United States is a huge country and lots of people take road trips with 5-6hr drives. If you live in California you can easily do 5+ hours and not even leave the state.

Is this with a Tesla on their fast charging network? Most companies are standardizing on their plug type and so on, but I don’t want to buy a Tesla for a variety of reasons.

The problem isn’t needing to stop, it’s charge time and availability. When I stop with an ICE car during a road trip it’s for 15 minutes max and I know I can do it basically whenever I want. With an EV, you have to carefully plan your road

No, this was not a war at all by Wikipedia standards. The deletion nomination was closed under an informal Wikipedia guideline called “WP:SNOW”, which is shorthand for saying that there wasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that it was going t

Even more ironic here is reading criticism about economic model and ethics on Business Insider, a hive of scum and villany that regularly publishes sponsored content and outright lies from anonymous sources.

Google is suggesting this should be used in poor countries without enough doctors because they know it is (or essentially will be, after the tidal wave of malpractice suits happens) illegal in the US.

There is no guarantee of severance if you are fired for documented performance issues under an “at will” employment contract, which most full time positions in tech are.

Correct. Eliminating plastic pollution will be a benefit not to us, but to our children's children. The same with reducing carbon emissions.

Plastic replacement isn’t like leaded gasoline or ozone-depleting substances where you had just a few applications to design alternatives for. It’s in fucking everything. Even just finding a realistic replacement for plastic in shoes is not

Most people have microplastics in their body, and even babies in the womb are being exposed ( https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016041202... ). The most remote, otherwise pristine environments

The barrier to this is dietary diversity. Brown bears are among the most omnivorous large mammals, whereas polar bears only eat plant matter in limited amounts / specific locales. A brown bear will get fat on food a polar bear starves

I think if humans give up on the mistaken idea of species as a fixed concept rather than an evolutionary line, then it's fine. What matters is that a healthy ecology which supports the largest land predator on Earth persists. The thing

> no actually, some recent good news about a remote polar bear population came through Source? Even with short term fluctuations, when the sea ice is gone, polar bears are fucked.

“On average, more than 50% of the increase in exposure projected for a species will occur in a single decade.” In other words, expect extinction events to happen very abruptly and cascade across food chains. Today people are generally not n

There are a lot of unhinged people on any major Internet platform. In 2018, a YouTuber shot three people at HQ because she blamed the company for downranking her videos. It’s actually quite lucky this kind of thing hasn’t happened more.

Yes precisely. The common hand gesture for "stop" is different in the Middle East, it has nothing to do with use of military-specific gestures.
