  1. I worked at Rite Aid as it closed. We locked up stuff based on what was stolen. It definitely sucked having to unlock during a rush, and trust me when I say we hated it just as much. Yet they are put there due to all the wild crap people steal! One reason why places like CVS don't want to open up in urban neighborhoods is due to way those neighborhoods treat retail. It isn't worth it when there is so much theft or crime, and overall less profit.

  2. I hate how polarized anything Elon does, because it takes away from the work of the people behind the companies. Love him or hate him. He has rapidly changed the car and space industry for the better. The private space industry has more investment then ever, and I'm rooting for all. Starlink already has been a gamer changer for those who would otherwise be out even as flawed as it can be. So while I would never have a use for it at the moment it doesn't mean it isn't great. I am more worried about people on earth than astrophysists. I'm rooting for Starship that will get a second go I'm guessing since I keep seeing stuff on here. Blue Orgins and such need to get their crap together too. That is one thing about Space X that people don't give them credit for. They seem to keep rapidly moving forward, and are not afraid to fail or take risks to make the entire system better. I feel like other companies are too safe or something. Blue Orgins seems to be behind on many projects.

  3. Yeah what the hell even I know this. It is pretty common knowledge. While not ideal it definitely can run on all sorts of crap. Not really sure how much different fuels effect it though especially mechanically.

  4. If you are willing to train people on the job. Instead of expecting them to PAY for school to get a degree then they'd be set. Why get a specialized degree in mining when you can go for something else that doesn't make you work in some remote area? Or pays better? Or does even cooler things? Modern mining doesn't seem like a bad job. Yet they pay too little for what they expect.

  5. ​ @bobby6ix We all could do better. Yet America is vast compared to Norway. Doesn't have the density of Europe. Easier to have charging stations for people. It is also blessed with an insane amount of natural resources compared to the population. Yet they've been smart with their oil money for sure. They aren't like some Arab or Mexico even. Never knew Mexico had oil, but they squander it due to political reasons. They lose money! It is like Wellfare I read. Anyway when people complain about how EVs would never work due to cold. You literally just point them to Norway.

  6. It might surprise you. Yet fast food restraints also don't have chef. That was basically the model. Have a kitchen that can make others foods like a franchise.

  7. That can be said for so many fields. Weapon manufacturing is one. Suits shouldn't make the choices. AMD needs better marketing. Koensiegg is a real recent one.

  8. Well I've seen a ton of money going into projects but so many are poorly managed or have so many issues that... Signing it alone ssn't enough for me to get my hopes up. I hope I am wrong but watch the money just been squandered like usual. The one good thing about governments like China? The CCP doesn't care about your house. So your house has been in your family for generations and grandma use to bake cookies for ya during the summer and your first kiss was just at McQuaids Diner with Amber... It needs to get torn down for some infrastructure for the good of the people and Uncle Sam will pay 10% above market price and not a penny more! That is how politicians should be about it.

  9. I would argue inflation from covid and war is a big factor. Yet the media being so negative the entire term also is an issue. Media is controlled by rich people who want tax cuts. Guys always trying to push for that regardless if your left, because money doesnt see party lines.

  10. Yeah I don't feel bad. Especially for black colleges. Or private Christian colleges. The former made sense when black kids couldn't get into college. The later is just outdated too. I don't feel bad for colleges that discriminate. I think college is more a social thing these days anyway for kids to be on their own. Universities made sense, when you had to go seek knowledge. You couldn't just Google answers. You had to either know someone, or find a book. The respritories of human knowledge were collected at universities. Now we have almost all the knowledge we could dream of at our fingertips in seconds. For most jobs anyway. Hell you can even talk with people online who know more for free if you know the right places. So college is out dated in many aspects. I'm not going to say it doesn't have benefits to those who go or societies. Universities have done a lot of good, and a lot of research. I'm saying it isn't exactly necessary as it once was now that the internet, being able to record is here.

  11. Not to mention location. Can't imagine a ton of mines next to places where people love to live. Maybe mining companies should I don't know. Train their people up. Pay more, give incentives. I would take a job if they trained me. I'd love to do that actually. Seems like a cool job. Yet I'm terminally ill, and trying to get a double transplant. So the location would be important, because I will eventually need to see a doctor multiple times a week at first. Then I believe once a week for the rest of my life. So yeah I will never be able to do it. Also going to school? Why. Teach people it who are willing to learn. That alone would give you workers, because who wants to pay student loans for a mining degree when they can go to school for something better.

  12. Boohoo. Blame the thieves. Is it inconvenient? Just a bit but it isn't that big of a deal. Trust me when I say workers would rather not deal with it either. It is a pain having to lock certain items when stocking, getting the right container, finding a way to fit it on the shelf. Damb things break or don't close. Then when people get it you might have to stop what you're doing and go get the manager or key depending on item. It is just a headache for everyone but people don't care. The margins for many stores is super low and it really does add up. You'd be surprised what people steal too and the reasons they give to justify it.

  13. It and a video called 5 steps in making chips are great. (It covered the architecture and software aspects). I was reading two guys go at it online and these two companies popped up numerous times. It piqued my interest enough to look into it

  14. Yup. These people, and you all know who I am talking about. I've lived in both primary black poor neighborhoods and white suburbia. Also a bit in poor rural areas. The people themselves are the issue. Don't understand why people are against preservatives and GMOs. All natural and organic does not mean healthier. Also ironic we can complain about food scarcity when so many are obese. Can't help people who won't help themselves. I am mixed race, and grew up in bad neighborhoods and sick and tired of them complaining. I do not blame buisness owners for not wanting to take the risk just to have their store trashed by some hood rats for laughs and giggles... Sorry farmers don't want to be selling their produce in a sketchy neighborhood. Most states give food stamps, insurance, housing, CASH, public transportation or free internet access(urban).

  15. I'm surprised as I always hear gamers go on for AMD for some time. Asked me back years ago I would say INTEL plus NVIDIAAs AMD was the cheap option. Obviously building a super gaming computer is a lot more nuanced with drivers and software bit I always hear how AMD is either competitive or better.

  16. Nestle isn't holding people at gun point or on pain of death are they? No. It is up to people of their own countries to implement their own laws. They aren't slaves. I'll continue to buy their products. So will you. So shove it with your platitudes.

  17. Extrapolate. Because I think the only thing that matters is if the kid knows the material. Not whether they do redundant work. Putting memorization above all in the age of the internet. How about we teach kids to weed out misinformation, yes? When I went to school. 40% of our grade was home work. 60‰ of it was from a massive test, maybe a project, depending on class. I aced the test with 90% or higher. Yet I only got D-, barely passing as I couldn't, and didn't do the home work. I usually had to do extra credit the teachers gave me. They knew my home life was hell. They'd have given me a better grade if they could have for sure. It isn't right. We should be teaching functional critical thinking for our children. Not if they remember what exact date Pearl Habor happened. They only need to know what happened, and how things from history effect us today. (I love history too.) Do I really need to know how to do complex math if I am not going to become anything that uses it? What homochirality is? Second language? That should be taught at a young age. Again not so important. Critical thinking skills is what we need to focus on. Then the skills we use in daily life with technology. Banking/debt. How to pay bills. First aid. Empathy. Then electives for kids to pursue what they love instead of forcing them to do stuff they'll never use. Our education system is so out dated. So outdated. Needs to catch up with technology, and what we want the average person to be like. Not shove tedious school work down their throats. With that said you should be able to fail, and kick out problem kids. Parents use school as a baby sitter, and expect teachers to raise their children. I worked with "special behavioral" children. If they are disruptive to the entire class. Don't want to learn. They can be kicked out. Child Left Behind had good intentions. Terrible implementation. Getting rid of the Board of Education, lol. Trump strikes again. He really doesn't know how to fix anything. Just says he does. Then makes it all worse with half baked ideas that aren't thought through. Board of Education needs restructuring. Mofo already talking about raising the price cap of insulin. Now this. He isn't even President yet. Edit. People's debt should also vanish when the Board of Education does then too, by the way. Their rates were predatory to begin with.

  18. Cargo that isn't dense is what is perfect for electric semis to be honest. Not that EV Semis don't have the raw torque. If you don't need a super powered diesel truck to move your average freight then why use it when it is so damn expensive. Personally I think Series Hybrids semis should have been done years ago for long haul, and heavy lifting niche trucks. Blows my mind only a handful like Edison exist. Anyway I'm glad Tesla is doing it, because majior manufacturers will follow suit. Batteries will only get significantly better from on out. Let's hope more breakthroughs in lithium air batteries happen. Talking 1.5kwh to 5k kwh per KG! Max 12,000kwh per KG if you get air from the atmosphere like a jet! So say we developed an 80% effiency? 10kwh! We need this yesterday.

  19. EVs are awesome. I agree- keep the looks, and embrace EVs insane performance that is only getting better. Wait till technology like the Koensieggs Dark Matter motor comes in to play. That thing is wild for how much it weighs. You aren't going to be hitting 200mph unless you go to a track. So for me EVs insane acceleration and lower center of mass is what is great. Sure they are heavier yet that will get better in time. For those who don't like it? Well I can't help ya. Things change. Download the sound on top of adding in a massive sound system or something.

  20. Small farmers grow jack for all the land they have get real. Totally inefficient. How about less farmland. More efficent production with the land we do have. Screw ethanol.

  21. I love how they tried playing it on labor costs. Sure a small percentage. As there have been places that paid their employees just fine. They are using that as an excuse to squeeze. Fast food corporations squeeze their franchises with unnecessary costs. Corperations in food just period have squeezed everyone since after Covid ended as prices never went down. Then on top stock holders demanding more and more money.

  22. Especially when it comes to Tesla. Swear to God there is no freaking middle ground. People are either fawning for it or automatically nitpick and hate it.

  23. ​ @bOOmbOOmProd It wasn't a publicity stunt for going green. Going electric has huge benefits when it comes to savings in fuel, and regular maintenance. Now personally I think Rivian and other car makers need to catch up on the manufacturing side. Tesla is murdering it with profit on their cars from what I've read. I'm surprised Tesla hasn't tried the smaller delivery trucks. Or even construction trucks. So Rivian should focus on that. No one is excited about Rivian vehicles in my mind. They are generic as hell. They need to generate excitement for their brand. Same with Lucid which creates amazing cars, but eh. No personality.

  24. ​ @bikesqump Exactly. Drivers are legally allowed to drive for X hours anyway. What is it... 11 hours before rest is needed? So once EVs have enough range to drive that far they can rest, and charge. This is the first generation. I'm not sure what jobs these are perfect for, but I'm sure there are many. The savings in how much each mile cost will add up quickly. Batteries are getting significantly better every year. So many break throughs have happened, and waiting for them to be scaled. They hold more charge, last longer, getting lighter, and don't forget charge faster. The ICE sadly is not getting better. Some people hate EVs solely because of they think only hippies or some crap like them. Hell... Some still think solar and wind is more expensive! It is ridiculous.
    3
  25. One thing for the larger container ships is... Wind power! They've had systems that could save like 20-30% in fuel. It is basically a giant parasail they can deploy once out at sea and can control it via a super strong tether that unwinds from a winch. I am pretty sure it has been proven to work. Not sure what the hold up is to be honest as it doesn't take that much space and makes up for it with less cost! Anyway I am a firm believer that hydrogen doesn't make sense for cars especially as batteries improve. For aircraft and shipping? Absolutely. There was this new hydrogen generator that creates it from salt water which could be fit on ships to create some of their own fuel using solar and wind. This was theoretical though.

  26. I haven't tried using modern one handed typing. Yet I was quick with T9 by the end of it. I wonder if my muscle memory would come back if I tried today. I can't remember anything on it to be honest. I'd need a Nokia, and some buttons.. Different form. Different muscle. It is like phone numbers. Sometimes I can't remember a number until I go to type it. Crazy how humans are like that.

  27. Yeah I don't understand the benefits of the subscription service at all. What benefits does it give outside of the car being cheaper up front.. What happens five years down the line. Screw that.
    2
  28. I disagree. I get Medagila Instant Espresso, and it isn't bad at all. Sure it could always be better through other methods. That requires money, and time. Nothing is cheaper, and easier then instant coffee/espresso. It only has to be good enough.

  29. If speaking facts about your country in an unbiased way offends you then you should look into the mirror. The only negative thing they said is how the BAN on exports effected Africa and places of the world negatively. America didn't ban rice now did it? America wasn't the one causing some Africans to starve They aren't buying expensive American rice when they have cheaper options. Indians jump out in force now on YT if anything is negatively said. I wonder how far I gotta go scroll for one talking crap on the British. It was equal on how it handled both countries getting subsidized.

  30.  @brrr8995   @brrr8995  Yeah even wind has issues like killing birds and I guess noise? Never lived near one. Solar has waste and manufacturing them also isn't great. Nuclear has waste OFC, lots of money up front too and takes while to build. It is amazing for large scale production. I'm not worried about safety as they are usually guarded very well. Hopefully we can find more uses for the spent fuel. I'm all for all three and diversifying power in general. Fossil fuels cause way too much pollution and so many people a year die from related diseases. Even the cleanest of fossil fuels is still relatively dirty.

  31.  @anlockcharacter1104  What? North America has enough oil and gas supplies. Europe prices and such may go up and down but they are fine and new players and deals are being worked on between other countries. I'm not sure about the food shortage as I hear that has had a huge impact on other places around the world.
    2
  32.  @anlockcharacter1104  Yeah because it is cheaper. I didn't say the prices are going to stay the same. Yet when demand goes up so does the ability for countries with high labor costs to do it themselves. It's like rare earth metals. We have a crap ton of it. It's just easier for us to buy from others instead, because the process to extract them is in a pain. Europe won't freeze or have a famine. Hopefully we learn to be less dependent in the future.

  33. Ev6 GT is sick. I know a Tesla Y performance might be faster for the price, and more range. Ya know what? The EV6 GT has buttons, and looks slick as hell. Range goes down 100 miles - which is insane. I didn't realize did a turn around. Or changed their logo. I just see some slick ass car blow past me with a KN on the back. Thought it was some new European brand or something. It was a Kia. An effin Kia. The car of hippy artsy college students who drove barefoot, and had incense in their car. If they can make that battery/motor competitive or drop the price they will be the best. Anyway good for Kia. Don't think a car maker blew my expectations like it did.

  34. ​​​ @AlanTheBeast100  They made it common for high valued items like blood that AND medicine need to be there ASAP where the supply is short. It is niche basically... Great for bumpkin towns across the US where the nearest hospital is a few hours away or your town doctor needs certain medication ASAP. For average consumer items? We will see... Definitely not worth it for groceries or it won't be cheaper than what we have now. Do you really need a phone ASAP? Willing to pay 10$ for some eggs and milk instead of going to the nearest convenient store... The capacity is the issue. I would like to be wrong but it seems niche to me economically. Edit - resteruants we will see. Hear it is still much cheaper for a dedicated driver.
    2
  35. Well that is BS. Shouldn't be like that. I don't mind the inconvenience unless it is something ridiculous like that. Stores make very little on margins. Pennies usually. So it all adds up especially when it comes to small business. I'm not saying I never pocketed anything and I have. I feel bad and still guilty. No justification. It was wrong. I've even scanned an item twice to make up for it before when I could afford it.

  36. ​ @mm6461 People treat themselves like animals. Why? You give the option of 200 for a tiny seat over 300 or even 250 for a larger one? People will pick the lower price one almost every time so airliners are like, "Alright!". Personally I'd rather be uncomfortable for X hours then spend the extra money. Who I'm flying next with impacts my experience more then uncomfortable seats. Wish we could pay extra for, "Nice respectful quiet person." Start having an area for that. To be honest I have met people complain about seats, and sometimes it is like the seat isn't small. You're just fat. I do feel for tall people, as that is out of ones control. Should have seats for short people to tall, and each progressively pays more. That would be fair.

  37. World standard for plastic bottles too. Or force soft drink companies for biodegradable products. Ever been in a hospital? The sheer amount of plastic waste is mind boggling and I understand why it needs to be that way but we need to work on something so it can be recycled. I remember one day in the ER produced about half a trash cans worth of plastic for single use items.

  38. Marketing doesn't return investment? Ha, okay bud. Tell that to Coke. Or Apple even. Stanely. Marketing is what makes products sell. It is what allows people to over price crap, and get away with it.

  40. ​ @robertenglish3921 Stealing trade secrets for a government that could be used for military purposes. The CCP are very interested in stealing cargo aircraft to build ones as good as the US. Logistics is incredibly important to a military. Why am I explaining this. What are you? Chinese? They don't seem to understand stealing is wrong. Last one? They even tried stealing a Chinook recently so they could copy the design. Since they can't innovate themselves in many areas they encourage people to steal it. One of the reasons why tech companies are moving out.

  42. Keep the sugar. Go back to real sugar and glass. The only way I'll buy a coke. (PS check the bottle because there are cokes in glass that still use corn syrup.) Also who just drinks coke without a lunch or dinner type meal. I've never been a big soda drinker but I do like having a 10oz Dr Pepper to wash down dinner... But drinking a soft drink without pizza or like food? Nope! I've put coke in coke and it was not good. The cocaine overpowers any sweetness and doesn't quench the thirst. Wasted a few large lines if you ask me.

  43. Road in a Grand Marqius a few months back, and it was glorious! The Lyft driver had it forever. Said he loved the damn Boat, but the MPG was killing him. As a passenger enjoying the ride? I loved it. The seats and suspension make new cars feel like plastic trash. My best friend had the police Crown Vic. It was also an amazing car. Have a lot of good memories being a criminal in it. Smoking weed. Looking out for other Crown Vics since we always assumed they were cops. I still can recognize the headlights on a Crown Vic at night behind ya. Remember my friend and I smoking while driving, and other cars would slow down thinking we were cops, hah.

  45.  @BluePixelvideos  Excuses. Also what are you talking about "have no history'. Go get a DNA test if you want to know what region of Africa you are from. You act like white people have their family tree mapped out. Cops shoot more white people yearly. Black people commit more crimes. Black communities don't just want toilet paper. They want Charmin, and want uncle Sam to wipe their asses to boot.

  46.  @WillsJazzLoft  Yeah you could be right. Not sure why I typed in the thumb nail. I was near death all of 2022, and the beginning of last year, and only started stabilizing about a year ago now. So I was completely out of it physically and mentally. I get replies likes yours from that time, and I'm like WTF was I saying? Anyway when I read your reply I thought I was talking about Asianometry. He has much more in depth videos on everything. Man is like a historian on some aspects of chip making, and knowledgeable about today's technology as well. I seriously wonder where he gets information about things from decades ago. If anyone reads this, and these videos interest you, and you want more in depth information. I recommend him.

  47. E Fuels aren't even good for the environment though. Some studies say it is worse even. Especially ethonol. It is a scam really. Maybe if we used algae for biodiesel. Yeah, that wouldn't just make sense, but it produces more per acre. We just haven't found ways to produce it at potential yet, sadly, but people are working on it. One day gas cars may be track only. While I would dislike that in a perfect world... I am willing to sacrifice things I like for the world not to go to hell environmentally. Anyway Porsche can afford it due to who buys them. It will be for rich people or those who really love ICE. I STILL want them to work on EVs though. Suprised they haven't made something like a hybrid where you have a gas turbine (jet) engine as a generator with some axial flux motors. The best axial flux can produce get thus... 800 BHP, at under 55 pounds! Slam two in there for 1,600 HP. Imagine a Porsche built like that. Turbine generators are the most efficent, simplest, and smallest thing that runs on gas. Removing much of the battery weight or having range anxiety. Then the power of an electric motor! Would just mop the floor with any car. Wish them the best.

  48. I have seen multiple people say they get more range sometimes. I don't think they are lying. I just wonder if their meters are wrong. Like are you drafting a few feet from semis on the highway? How are you getting 20 to 30 miles more. Then the Taycon having that much of a difference. What did they say. Nearly 80 miles more? The hell. Anyway that is a scary thought. Having a messed up range meter or gauge. One side note. Auto makers should make more ways to have it where you charge at 20-80%. In fact when the car is at 20% make it say zero. Since min maxing your battery is one guaranteed way to shorten your battery life... Just like ICE cars require things like oil changes. EVs require that to extend the life of the vehicle. Hopefully the government pushes ways for battery swaps to be easier, and those batteries recyable.

  49. ​ @FuckTrumpFuckYouIfYouVoted4Him The whole point of an EV is to be economical? Who told you that? Maybe a few... While you have many designed like Super Cars. Have a Kia EV6 GT literally likened to a Super Car or expensive sports car in terms of performance. A damn KIA with nearly 600hp! Sure they don't skimp on aerodynamics, because range is a huge selling point. Yet no where are the economical, outside of aerodynamics, and cheaper fuel/maintenance costs. They are expensive if you haven't noticed.

  50. I say make it a defense boat. Basically arm thing thing from front to back or bow to stern with CIWS and other defense systems who's ONLY job is to defend carrier like a puppy. I don't know how much space each CIWS takes but hey get creative with it. When lasers come it can be a pew pew pew ship. Or a drone ship.

  51. I just found LazerPig the other day. Might not be everyone's style but he seems to be quite knowledgeable. I find him entertaining at least. My question is armor. Read the Chieften 3 can take a direct hit from a Russian tank head on. If so then armor is still useful. Abraham's X looks freaken like a beast IF it works as intended. Especially with the silent running and thermal camouflage. That would fix modern tank combat by a lot. Also Active Defense seems to be improving dramatically. I wonder if we will be adding more armor to the top to combat the shaped charges. So ATGMs might not be as devastating to a modern or future tank even though they are also getting cheaper and lighter by the day. Like always though tanks need support from other units and tactics is key. If you don't have infantry or the enemy owns the sky they are vulnerable just like everything else.

  54. Can't wait in five to ten years when Axial Flux motors come out in mass. There is one by Helix UK. They claim 52 pounds and.... 800 BHP! Imagine if someone grabs two. Sticks it with a tiny jet turbine generator. A small solid state battery to run. Stick it into a small body. Boom! Hell, soon you wouldn't need a generator. Future is bright. I don't care if a car goes vroom. I just want speed, and great handling. EVs allow that with the center of mass. They just have the whole weight issue. I am surprised there aren't more series hybrids TBH with a turbine engine. Always thought they were the most efficent, lightweight, and relatively simple.

  55.  @anlockcharacter1104  No they won't. It will hurt the economy for sure and take changes to their system. When we all stopped making and developing nuclear plants while shutting down old ones we screwed up. Ukarine is an other issue entirely which I don't want to get into but I suspect giving them weapons will slowly decline anyway. Maybe america can give Europe some of the 1.4 million pounds of cheese.

  57. It doesn't make any sense. The salt is coming from the ocean... All you're doing is putting concentrated salt water back in but in theroy it should be the same amount of salt. The water will eventually make its way back. I don't know why they can't use the salt and other minerals in the brine anyhow. Surely they can get it out and sell it as sea salt!

Think i added some cheese dip or something on the side. Heard their chili was good too. Don't care for the fries. Keep trying to get the gaelic and truffle ones and they send regular.

  62. All these excuses. "Hormonal". Sure there are some people with it. I bet the portion of people who actually have basically a disease causing them to gain weight is few. Sure hormonal as in people with depression eat more. That is a mental issue, and not a physical. Calories in. Calories out. It is that simple. You're eating too much if you are over weight. Probably not too much either, but enough. I think it is generally just a large soda, or 200 calories. I have weight issues myself. I need to gain weight or else I will be dead soon. Doctors are shocked I'm even still walking. So I get annoyed when people say, "just eat more" myself when my body literally rejects food. It is slightly different yet annoying non the less. What I'm saying is it isn't easy. Stop making excuses. You literally don't need to go to the gym to exercise. You need to stop eating as much. Count your calories. Cut out soda with tons of carbs. Eat some protein with your meal or full dairy fat as they will make you feel fuller for longer.

  63.  @webbsurfer  No. While my problem is physical. I was saying I get it why people getting annoyed when people just say "OH just eat less!" If it were easy no one would be fat. But really. You gotta eat less instead of making excuses. I see it all the time with some. Just like I need to eat more, and gain weight, or I'm a dead man. Which I do, and have been to the best of my ability. It sucks. If I force it too much I puke. My portions are tiny and I struggle to finish them. I wish I could just pop a pill or something. Yet I continue to do it anyway, bite by bite. I wish some of ya fatties could give me some of their fat. Or appetite! You can do it people. If I can gain weight. You can lose weight. It isn't easy, but all the people I've met who lost their weight are so proud of themselves. You'll feel much better when you do.

  64. 40 to 80k and hey you don't own the battery! Yeah I will pass. Sorry I would rather take care of the battery pack myself then. Like buying an ICE without an engine.

  65. Chinas issue is they keep pushing and everyone is going to eventually get fed up. No one wants to go to China either. There is no incentive to raise a family there and they have the audacity to project their prejudices on places like the West saying "You will never have blonde hair or blue eyes." Oh they are right, but they fail to realize that is actually OKAY. We don't want you to have blue hair or blue eyes. Secondly I would say 80% of the population actually does not. I use to think the West was terrible. Yet having China or more specifically the CCP and Xi as the leading world power scares me more. I usually like to see countries to succeed but I would like the CCP to burn.

  66. ​ @ValMartinIreland If everyone switched to cars tomorrow in America. It would draw the same power as everyone who has an AC turning it on for four extra hours. Basically a 30% increase. Which isn't a small number, but not as bad as people think. Yet everyone isn't going to switch tomorrow are they? Solar and wind are now cheaper than all other ways for power without subsides. Powering a car through the grid is more efficient. Now the only issue is that local grids will need to be beefed up. Our grid needs an overhaul anyway. There are many battery technologies in the work that will hold more power, be cheaper, charge faster. EV is the future. Just makes sense.

  67. They are only poison if you don't have a well balanced diet. Or eating JUST poptarts. Which in that case, yes. They are perfect for what they are for. A quick easy snack to give you calories. Can even balance out the lack of some nutrition with some good fruit juice. I can't stand them anymore. Yet as a kid I'd be so jealous of other kids who had them. Rich kids food. Screw the chocolate. By the way for the other poster. What preservatives in them are causing cancer? Funny how when you ask people that question they don't know. Fun fact. Fruit has so much sugar in it now, that zoos stopped giving their animals it since it is also unhealthy.

  69. That is what I was thinking. BS that they don't have their own chargers for one. So basically they force you to bring back a vehicle that is full when there is nothing close enough to actually hit that point since you lose charge bringing it back from god knows where the closest working station was. Scamming. That is what they are doing. Then there is literally no benefit to driving EVs. You get the worse of it with no benefit. Well golly! No wonder why people don't want to deal with that. I'm an avid EV fan just due to the low center of gravity and fast as hell acceleration. Generally all the tech that goes into them.(outside of having no buttons for Tesla. Buttons are nice) Even I would be like screw that non sense. Just give me an ICE. Also EVs are not for people traveling anyway. The mileage/charging is not there. They are for small commutes.

  70. I'm sitting here waiting for surgery paid by Medicaid. Heptorenal ‐ hopefully I can get a transplant. Its crazy people are getting away with this. I have to make sure I have an ID and fill out 100 forms. Someone might be trying to use mine but were denied.

  71. It is a lie. We will always give some carbon off - we just need to start sucking the chemicals up and storing them and stop lying like if we cut down it will fix its self. There will be no single solution. I agree with most of what you said but traffic jams in the sky? Nope. Just hope. Landing and taking off for sure but not for flying - unless we are only allowed to fly at one set altitude which would be ridiculous. 3D space opens up a lot of... Space. I am curious on how air space or air lanes will work though!

  72. How do people think about Tesla in Europe? Personally I don't like the interiors of Tesla myself as an American, and glad there are options for EVs now. In fact I would buy a Lucid over a Tesla. I want buttons and functionality. Tesla minimalist design for interiors I don't know how the hell VW group is the biggest car maker! I look at the brands, and think.... Are Skoda and SEAT that popular? Is every other car a Jetta, and Golf?! The rest are freaken expensive cars. Random note. A car that blew my effin mind was actually the KIA EV6 GT! I detested Kia my entire life until I saw that my whole life. It was the brand hippie college kids drove at 30mph on the highway on ramp. It is wicked quick and fun from all reviews. One of those cars that looks better in real life for sure though.

  73. Kia eva GT is a super car. I have read it is a blast to drive. Range might not be the best. Hope they improve.

  74. That is ridiculous. Now if they KNOW someone is counterfeiting and do nothing that is different. As far as you? Try to buy directly from the producer and if you can't and see a price too good to be true then you know it. Report it as seen.

  75. Yup patent trolls should be sued for sure. The governments need to stop these people because it is literally against everything patents are suppose to do. Forgot the dudes name but he makes millions from just settling out of court. He does his research for sure and will hit up a company for just the right amount of money for him to go away. People like that should be banned from being able to sue, and counter sueing them should be easier.

  76.  @IMGreg..  Nuclear, wind, tidal... Do not need solar at all. Solar is a waste of space IMO. Great for small scale but using land just for solar is ridiculous IMO. Even China is making it illegal. Well if they can pull it off for sure then okay. I have nothing against hydrogen or in cahoots for pure EV. Yet honestly things like the hydrogen combustion engine are dead on arrival and have absolutely no use. Even the theoretical most efficient hydrogen combustion engine possible still isn't worth it and we aren't close to that level of efficiency. Also the PSI alone to make it even compete with gas would be astronomical and quite dangerous. As batteries and especially super capacitors make more developments though it wouldn't surprise me if we don't see hydrogen cars take off. I think we were stupid for not embracing nuclear safely. We really could use nuclear desalination and power plants across the world ATM.

  78. ​ @Astra2 It wasn't a complete success. Come on. Half the ship disintegrated which they didn't plan for. Yeah they hit their main goals, but that shouldn't have happened. How is it going to be reusable when half the rocket needs to be fixed. With that said... The wrote the software to control the rocket are on an other level. The fact the main flight surfaces basically changed shape from disintegrating, and it still landed is just INSANE. I don't think even the engineers expected it to be able to handle that. Truly amazing. That flight software must be worth billions after that show. I bet NASA engineers wished they had that sheer computing power. Oh on top. Boeing a went downhill when MBAs started taking over. We need to start supporting smaller companies in the arms and space industry. Lockheed and Boeing are too comfortable. They are basically subsidized on purpose. I think Elon wild Twitter talk makes him a security risk in the eyes of the government. What we should do. If any US manufacturer can make a part with the same or better specs for cheaper? The government then can void a contract and give it to them. Boeing and Lockheed are too comfortable with hand outs since the end of the cold war ended so many companies.

  79. She is right. We invest. Then pay extra. Sometimes thrice. I was thinking about it with the defense industry. The way it is now? It would be like you telling me to build you a car. So I build it with your money and resources. I pay myself, and buddies. I should just give you the car at this point, right? Not in America! Then say it is finished, but you have to buy it off me now, and I own the rights to any upgrades for the future. I'm going to charge you a premium for many of the parts, and you aren't allowed to use anyone else. It is ridiculous.

  80. Yes I always loved rail. It is my favorite. We need rail ASAP and the government should make it cheap like every other country does. It is an investment! I just wanted to point out that the highways were made for the Military first and foremost. Secondly highways were perfect for America when built. It is geographically massive and the population density isn't like China, Korea, Japan, and Europe. So we need to stop comparing ourselves to them but it is unnacceptable that our coasts do not have major high speed lines that are world class in speed and reliability. We should already have multiple lines connecting Boston to NYC, Philly, to DC, Athens, and down to FL. Basically the I 95 but in rail form. The environment benefit is a plus but we should be talking about the economic benefits this could give many Americans and how it can improve the quality of life for many. Also our cargo line is still top in the world. I didn't know this and hear they are also part of the issue on top of the lobbyists and bureaucratic mess.

  81. Yeah and you can't hang out in them either. They need to be more social. Rent for stores is also ludicrous. Also yeah I will never understand the pricing on clothes. Especially fast fashion... Like yo, you just spent your entire paycheck on those a few months ago and now getting rid of it... Okay!

  82. ​ @albertcamus5970 How many people go to the track? Regenerative breaking helps with the life of the break immensely mate. They turn quick enough. I am not racing between a line of road cones or taking exits at 130mph. Sure they breaking will never be as good as a lighter car, but for daily driving it is so much better. So for daily driving they are awesome. Now are they as fun as a souped up Miata or RX7. An Atom or Lotus? I love those cars, when other people own them. Me? I'm buying an EV. Most likely not a Tesla since I hate the blank ass interiors of them. Give me buttons! I just got a Lyft from the doctors. They picked me up in a Kia. I'm like lame... Oh boy was I wrong! It is called the EV6 GT. Loved the looks outside and inside, and he floored it while changing lanes left and right. Loved it.

  83. No. Detterence is way cheaper than a war, and it works. We can't have Xi owning Taiwan or the pacific. We cannot make the best stuff by ourselves. Look up what a 3nm and 2nm chip takes to make supply chain wise. Money in politics is ruining us. Government is not a buisness nor should ever be treated as one. Getting money out of politics is the first step to ANY good change left or right. Yet the media Moguls like to redirect, mislead, and misinform. From Musk to Murdok to Bezoes to CNN. All of them are corrupt. Lobbying is too powerful. Got Trump paid off by Elon posing for advertisement in front of the White House. While the richest man alive slashes social security we paid for by pretending to do it with a chain saw. As his companies get government subsidize and contracts. All while high on drugs. Not one intellectually honest person can say that isn't weird. It is bizarre, and people are appluading it. We are heading straight for Idocracy, and WWIII WITHOUT allies. So yeah, we sort of need a large military. Trump cutting off our allies means they won't be purchasing weapons from our companies. They cannot trust us. Anyway wish you all the best of luck during the fall.

  84.  @BillsSpamMail  That's a political problem for sure. Wish companies could get real smacked up for shady crap like that. Now regulations are necessity because you don't want some random battery packs out there that are a bigger hazard. I believe there is something similar for farming equipment and John Deere specifically is a horrible company.

  85. What genius was this? I assume you mean the POTUS and Obama I assume, because you know nothing. Like the POTUS controls what businesses do. Republicans only want share holder profits. Cut programs to help US companies so they outsourced, because America couldn't compete since other countries do give edges to businesses. Jobs were leaving way before Obama took office. Obama was left picking up Bushes mess for most of his presidency.

  87. America isn't dense like other countries that is why. People don't think when it comes to that. With that said we need to be able to sue sketchy cable companies for sure, and fix regulations. Screw monopolies. That is one thing Space X has helped for rural people. I still will take fiber if possible, but you gotta be filthy rich to run cable to your home.

  88. I use to be a diehard Pizza Hut fan. Love their Mariana sauce. My first job was there too and I could use their garlic butter to make a pizza which was delicious. Also their mountain dew had extra syrup and was extra carbonated which was awesome haha. However it just all sucks now and it is STUPID expensive. Their selection sucks to boot. It just isn't the same. Dominoes did a 180 and while I still prefer pizza hut taste I usually buy from dominoes. Oh and ordering extra on anything doesn't seem to do a darn thing. Quality control is garbage.
