I post the AI-derived designs to my gitlab page:

I really should add this to my journal.

That's why when Israel bombs an apartment building, everyone in it is automatically enrolled in Hamas/Hezbollah first.

Tim Cook had a brilliant career, but he had to embarras himself by sucking up to the orange utan.

Enjoy your retirement TIm Apple, you nauseating man.

This is perhaps the biggest transfer of wealth in American history. Most of those companies will just pocket the refund and no pass any of it on to the consumer. If prices go down at all, they won't be back to pre-tariff levels.

You paid the tariffs, but you ain't getting the refund.

You can do maintenance on EVs too. Lots of people work on older ones themselves. They aren't super complicated, and the level of lockdown is about the same as a fossil - it varies by manufacturer, and generally the more you pay for the car the worse it is.

There is much less maintenance you need to do on an EV anyway. Brake pads last forever, and some need a motor oil change once every 5 years or so. Batteries are good for at least 250k miles, more than even a well maintained petrol engine.

The market for working on them is more mature in some countries, particularly Norway. Even in the US though, it's very doable. Rich Rebuilds on YouTube makes videos about the ones he works on.

Norway has got that way already. It's a pain to go find fuel in a lot of places. Most of the petrol stations have been converted to charging stations.

I see that a lot, e.g. people saying Ukraine should not have given up its weapons. What would Ukraine have done with them? Nuke Moscow, get nuked back, and now everyone is dead and their country is a radioactive wasteland? And that's the best case scenario, where they don't start WW3 and get everywhere nuked.

It would have been the same conventional war that they got without nuclear weapons. You can safely ignore Putin's threats to use them too.

I suppose he must be a strong Trump supporter, since Trump is working to remove nuclear weapon capabilities from Iran.

There are two seater sport EVs, you just aren't allowed to buy them.

Maybe Hyundai will do one eventually. Like their sport version of the Ioniq 5, with fake gears and everything. That's not really what I'd call a family car anyway.

I was going to say, they are stretching the definition of "delivered" in that second video. Lobbed on the driveway where it is highly likely to be stolen, perhaps.

Doesn't it screw Amazon? In the UK, it's their problem until you have it in your hands. If it gets stolen, they have to refund or replace it.

That's why I was surprised that eBay started offering a delivery service here. I've had a couple of things arrived damaged with it, and they refunded both me and the seller, and presumably claimed from the courier. But of course, the seller could have just shipped a broken item in the first place.

The current plan is to use SLS and Orion to get to lunar orbit, then transfer to the lander which will make its own way there. Then on the return, go back to to Orion in lunar orbit and head for Earth.

Not so much in the south because it rarely snows enough to be worth it, but up north they do clear footpaths as well.

Japan seems to have a good system where the local government just leaves bags of salt and grit around for local residents and business owners to spread as needed, but of course they wouldn't last 5 minutes here.

Studies have shown that driving ability drops off after so many hours without a break, so for commercial drivers there are strict limits. Many larger commercial vehicles have a device that actually enforces it too, preventing the vehicle being restarted until the driver has had their mandatory break.

We have fewer traffic accidents here.

5 hours motorway is possible in the UK, no problem. Traffic depends on the time of day. At night you can usually cruise uninterrupted. You get cheaper charging too, e.g. Tesla have off-peak rates that I sometimes make use of on the way home.
