EVs are cleaner than gas cars, but a growing share of Americans don't believe it in c/news

The irony being that there are obvious challenges to EV becoming mainstream for the average person, and you choose to say there are no challenges. You are willingly ignorant to them.

"powerfully ignorant" oh the irony.

EV's are great to bomb around Cali and similar cities. Practicality drops off substantially in rural settings, and to zero when the temperatures drop well below freezing.

Your fun little idea might gain some traction if you stop being a prick when presented with challenges.

Ah yes, I am the only person on the planet who has a need to travel occasionally to a larger city during a normal winter. Got it!

Please let me know how that goes for you and when I can purchase one that allows me to travel 500 kilometres in -25°C without disabling the vehicle mid trip in that mentioned temperature.

So, just so you know, the average EV battery weighs 1000lbs, and some all the way up to 2000lbs in something like the EV hummer. (Unnecessary I know). The cost to have a battery in an EV replaced currently sits around $5000 to $15000 off of warranty. So there are definitely obstacles. Along with letting the general public fry themselves trying to hook up a 400v battery. You're not dealing with AA batteries. Battery technology is far away from something able to swap out yourself with the ease you may be thinking of.

Ran a full 45 minute mission (lots of dicking around no such thing as avoiding a patrol in the group) tons of samples. Called a gat sentry off in the distance as last stratagem. Buddy ran down the hill and walked down in front of it and died, kicked. FFS

That has to be the worst way to go. Unable to escape a sinking vehicle and drown. Hopefully they were lucky and unconscious from the fall but i doubt it. May the management that made the call to skimp out on boat engine maintenance find themselves behind bars.

AI without proper regulation could be the downfall of humanity. Many pros, but the cons may outweigh them. Opinion.

I deleted Facebook a couple years ago. Instagram is my guilty pleasure for car reels and god damn dancing toothless. It seems like the end of my ig use is getting closer

These scammers using Mr Beasts popularity, generosity, and (mostly) deep fake AI to scam people into downloading malware, somehow do not go against Instagrams community guidelines.

After trying to submit a request to review these denied claims, it appears I have been shadow banned in some way or another as only an error message pops up.

Instagram is allowing these to run on their platform. Intentional or not, this is ridiculous and Instagram should be held accountable for allowing malicious websites to advertise their scam on their platform.

For a platform of this scale, this is completely unacceptable. They are blatant and I have no idea how Instagrams report bots/staff are missing these.

I agree with you but what are they going to use to keep roads from being lethal in certain winter conditions?

A 14-year-old boy in California allegedly used ‘multiple weapons’ to kill parents, injure sister, police say in c/news

People are supposed to be complying with that since 2020 since it's announced. Yes 2025 is the amnesty deadline, but if people haven't taken part now, they won't by then.

Edit: the actual buyback program doesn't take effect until 2025 when the amnesty period ends. So again, with having 2000 models of weapons now prohibited since 2020, has it made an impact on firearm crime rates? Another question to ask is whether the buyback program will reduce crime rates. Which if all these prohibited weapons are already locked up like fort Knox, what real difference will it make?
