I see it more from the “Mythological” aspect. Less face simular and more both are legends and should be immortalized as statues.

Edit: To be clear I am not supporting the comparison. I am just explaining my take on the attempted symbolism of the image.

I would prefer knowing my money is going to people who have been systematically disadvantaged for this nation’s entire history.

I suppose your post could imply other minorities could be included but the way I read your comment gives off big WLM energy.

Edit: spelling

Why would Xenon get you high? It’s a Nobel gas and should not have any chemical interaction with your body. Maybe by cutting off your oxygen supply but that isn’t how Nitrous works.

It’s because the times aren’t the same. Maybe same unit but different context so they can’t be canceled.

It’s like saying you work 8 Hours/day (Eight hours per day). Both are units of time, but their context is different and their combination forms a new meaning beyond the units.

1 KWh is using 1KW for one hour. Because of demand pricing the time you use that KW is important. Like in terms of energy grid using a whole ton of power for one minute vs same total over a long time is different and important dispite being the same amount of energy.

Edit: some phrasing

Could be steel rims. Engine blocks are typically Aluminium which have about half the melting point of Steel at only around 600C depending on alloy, which is pretty low in the metals world.

Rims are also typically Aluminium but they are clearly not as melted so could be steel rims or the fire was not as concentrated there (core of the car burned out while the outside was bit cooler)

Edit: The molten material could be from even lower melting point Al alloys (High in Silicon or Magnesium). Cars also can use some high Magnesium alloys that can have even lower melting point.

Yeah, it would be like committing crimes while fooling facial recognition to identify you as a random innocent person instead of just identifying no one.

I guess in the long run it could erode confidence in the system (I know it already misidentifies people regularly) but in the short term, innocents would suffer.

It’s Thanksgiving. Either a massive drop in posters due to travel or family or whoever was sending the data was similarly out.

Regen breaking. My guess they can’t bake it into the brake pedal because some rules for what a break pedal is allowed to do or just bad design. Both very possible.

Donald Tusk sounds like a conglomeration of Donald Trump and Elon Musk

There is a difference between feasibility hype and adoption hype. The hype about it being possible at all has passed. But the true hype relevant to the graph is when it is implemented in the general economy, outside of labs and research facilities.

Adorable. Look at those little rascals go.

I looked more into fires and battery replacement and agree with your stats, much appreciated for the info.

However, I never said it swappable would be faster for expanding. I said it was safer and allow for battery integrity evaluation. I agree the ideal solution would be chargers in homes as long as battery health and saftey are reasonable which they already reaching that point.

I see alot of talk in these threads about how bad it would be to make infrastructure and need to invest. But our current infrastructure didn’t just show up. I bet when the first cars came out people with horses said the same thing. Thinking how much it would cost to build all these gas stations and refineries. Investment will have to happen and EV is the future. Obviously home chargers are cheaper and again the ideal solution as technology advances and the grid can keep up.

Truck still has to go somewhere. Obviously it’s lighter but it doesn’t blip out of existence. Amazon trucks to back to hub after delivery, FedEx, USPS. Both technologies can advance simultaneously and mutually.

Edit: some wording

At the moment my two biggest fears against buying an EV is it catching fire in my garage and it dying after 5 years then having to buy a 30k battery. Once technology advances that doesn’t happen I will buy and I would love your plan. Why can’t this be a stop gap?

Gas gets to the gas station somehow. Obviously it isn’t the same as transporting batteries back and forth but it’s bad faith to say this is completely unprecedented logistics problem. I am under the impression that battery health could be screened at the swap facility and would require a small subset to be returned to a hub for additional inspection or repair.

The charger would have some inspection capability. Maybe not physical integrity of the casing but certainly the voltag and current outputs and connectivity of cells which could would correlate to health.

I think swappable batteries could be a good solution to fires and probelms seen with long term battery health. Like if batteries were smaller and you swap it out rather than charging they could be inspected before being redistributed. In an ideal situation the cost of purchasing a battery would be removed from the vehicle price and shift to a subscription/interchange system. It could help consumers if their battery goes bad by not needing to buy a completly new one and prevent fires. Unfortunately, everything is terrible and I imagine this would inevitably turn to some kind of scummy, overpriced, preditory system. I am not sure if damage caused by batteries is enough to justify such a program but I think insurance companies and governments have or will look into it.

I think the biggest factor is pressure. A person would put their full weight down because they don’t know the snake is there. This would probably hurt the snake and warrent a panic/significant response. I doubt the fake foot was applied with the same pressure because ethical reasons.

There is alot of room for bias here. Is the fake foot a realistic proxy of an orgional? Can the snake recognize the difference? You don’t fistfight a book or other object falling onto you. Would a snake bite a rock that shifted onto it when it bumps into it?

How much pressure is the fake foot applying? A person accidentally stepping on a snake would apply their whole weight because they didn’t know it was there. Likely hurting the snake and warrenting a more significant and immediate response. I doubt the fake foot was applying the same force because of ethical reasons.
