Not sure how much I'll actually post here, but follow if you want. I'm into math, science, engineering, sustainability, and generally how the world works and trying to make it better. I support LGBTQIA+ rights and have little patience for those who don't.
It is cheaper than the comparable Tesla which is a Model Y Performance. $54k vs $58k with current incentives.

Well then I have excellent news for you. The new one just started production and charges 10-80% in 30 minutes. Not world beating, but it's on par with Tesla and acceptable for most people.

His mind is a turphucken of malice, idiocy, greed, and manipulation. Somehow he managed to combine those things and come close to realizing a true fact. Remarkable.

GM nixed Saturn because they determined it was undercutting their higher margin brands. They cut Hummer because no one was buying Hummers.

I just think leftish folks get used to talking to our own kind and we assume a baseline understanding. We end up talking past the kind of people Trump manages to influence. It can be frustrating but I don't think any amount of defining things and asking "what do you mean by that?" will ever be bad.

My conservative mother was complaining about her Fox News idea of DEI and she said diversity of experience and thought is hugely important in teams. I was like yeah, DEI, that's what it's all about. That's, like, the whole thing.

Bro, you're not gonna believe this. Donald Trump the actor is in charge again. He has no idea what he's doing but apparently nobody can stop him.

The basis for every Trump attack on anything is just that he wants to do a fascism. There is no real argument. He can only do this shit if people let him. Stand up to bullies, always. They are weaker than they make themselves out to be. Be like Maine.

This is a terrible poll. All of the answers are true. It was a Nazi salute from the heart. He meant it genuinely but he was also trolling. Racists often make racist "jokes" that they actually literally believe.

Oh look, it's this guy again, from a screenshot I saved a week ago. Interesting that every time I see a pro-trump/musk gathering it's the same small group of people.

Maybe it's the ol' double-fake and they expect their recs to count against him because they're Democrats.
I mean, that's not what's happening, but it wouldn't be the most insane political strategy I've seen. Wouldn't even make the weekly top 10 at this point.

Ah, then we're in full agreement. There are far too many things for which there's no real counterargument and we should just be doing them, yet it's somehow become politically fashionable to oppose them.
I'm so tired.

Electricity is a much more robust way to move energy around than fossil fuels. There are many ways to generate electricity but really only one way to get gasoline. In a local outage, I can even use my car as an energy bucket to power my home by plugging into the grid somewhere else for a few mins.
