Evs are 75% to 90% efficient from their battery, but the real issue is solar on the grid. Its way more then 20% loss from the grid, hell 40% loss in transmission is normal around here, and that’s just last run. The issue is that its loss on every step. I think local solar is the way to go for ev charging but this is clearly about mass deployment and that means the grid.

Saddly 75% is still a pipe dream, lucky to get 40% from panel to road. Not that biofuel is not one of if not the worst use of land mind you.

Oh they should really have a lemon party, and make sure to tell everyone about it.

Oh they can call it a sausage party, nothing less gay then sweaty, steaming, sausages.

This. Don’t fall into the team based bullshit, this level of jackbootery should piss off everyone. If not for the red/blue bullshit I am sure that the vast majority of americans would rally together to counter the government overreach but instead everyone is doing the Two Minutes Hate.

Nope, Just one account here. Believe it or not more then one person can have issues with your views at the same time.

needlessly aggressive

Have fun pretending you don’t live in a collapsing empire. Oh but I guess you need to believe in the usa’s checks and balances otherwise you are giving up.

I am not the person who you are “confused” by but someone who is sick of the weird american bullshit about how if anyone points out the states collapse of the rule of law they are somehow “giving up”. Extra points towards my ire by missing the Myanmar point.

Not sure how you got that? I swear you americans have been politically neutered and have blinders on for the rest of the world.

I for one would be pleased if this level of honesity was normal online. Admitting that no one reads Nietzschean works is the first step.

MONORAIL! AI!

PwC

Ah, wonderful company that, if you like war crimes, tax crimes and just dastardly acts in general. Really the gold standard in corruption.

Sure, but how does that make anyone money? You saved time not reading, and your time is worth money sure, but not the untold amounts of money and infrastructure that AI has cost. Your place of work still has an angry client, and you still have the same issues with the rep but now with a risk of the LLM hallucinating something in the summery. Lets say you fire the rep for what was in the summery and it turns out they did not do whatever was said and you have a lawsuit (and I would hope some loss of sleep)? I think generative AI peaked at things without stakes like “Harry Squatter and the Chamber of Gains” and has just been a solution looking for a problem even since.

More to the point this was always going to end this way without a path to profit (I know a terrible term) OpenAI alone is losing something like $12 Billion a quarter, and although maybe ads will help their bottom line it will also make that final step into the sort of hell no one wants.

Not even in the rural areas really. We have our idiots true, but even bull riders around these parts are not all super out of touch.

More reasonable then labor for sure, I was shocked to see them go authoritarian like they have. At least there is some other parties to move support to that seem to understand that cracking down on the population is somewhat unpopular. Here in Canada we have seemed to ruined all the options on reasonable parties so at least hearing there is traction with new parties gives me some hope.

Oh I forgot how much I missed degaussing. Sad we don’t get to use tubes that shoot radiation at our faces anymore.

? why would someone do that, we don’t get those tariffs.

Hell why would any non us entity want to give money in any way to trump?

I remember the switch was red, but that might be some sort of false memory.

As an outsider, am I crazy for thinking the leaders of the smaller more “extreme” parties like Sinn Féin or the SNP keep sounding more reasonable?

Looks like we are going back to the old days of the big switch
