Battery performance tends to drop off extremely quickly once it drops below a certain temperature. Like, one minute it still says 50% charge left, the next it's dying.

If you aren't used to dealing with amount of cold I could see it catching you by surprise on your commute or something.

On top of that, IIRC the student loan aid was executive action alone (i.e. Biden specifically enacted it) while the pandemic checks were passed by congress so at best Trump might be able to say he pushed for it but it was still congress that made it happen.

Why is that weirder? The people writing scientific software are, by and large, less good at writing software than people who only specialize in software development. I'd expect there to tons of terrible engineering practices in an old code base like that

I agree with many of the other commenters that OP debating their husband might not be the best idea.

But if that's what they want, "Decoding the gurus" did at least one Rogan specific episode, and I think they do a better job covering and dismantling Rogan's rhetorical approach than the podcasts above.

I haven't actually read the novel version, just seen the movie enough times to know this wasn't in it and that there was a novel

Probably the novel on which the movie was based.

I'm no accountant, but I have to imagine when he's talking about "value" it's not exact loss of sales, but something more like "projected sales for the next 10 years" or something.

There's no way Twitter, a company that was overvalued at $43 billion, was also making $40billion a year in advertising sales.

Yes, I believe Trump went for an interview on Tucker's show instead of going to the first rooinek republican primary debate. That was fairly recently

Off duty, but still fully willing to be introduced as a clinical psychologist at the start of the podcast, and to consistently refer to himself as a practicing clinical psychologist in these interviews.

He wants to have it both ways clearly

Those stats are misleading though. Autopilot only runs on highways, which are much safer per mile even for human drivers.

Tesla are basically comparing their system, which only runs in pristine, ideal conditions, against an average human that has to deal with the real world.

As far as I'm aware they haven't released safety per mile data from the FSD cars yet, and until they do I will remain skeptical about how much safer it currently is.

Yes, but notably you can design to reduce the risk of leaking hydrogen. If the areas around the tanks are designed to allow any leakage to vent before it reaches dangerous levels, you can reduce the risk. Yes hydrogen is flammable, so tanks of it are dangerous. Jet fuel is also quite flammable, and we've used that for a long time.

This is all in contrast to the design of the Hindenburg, which was specifically trying to hold onto a bunch of hydrogen in the flammable regime

I'm guessing that they are (falsely) equating it to the hindenburg, when IMO it wouldn't be much different safety-wise than current fossil fuel powered planes.

It's not like they would be filling the wings and luggage compartment with free-floating hydrogen, it stays in it's tank
