Not sure which hole to put the paper clip in

Do you have this ready to cut and paste? Anyway, billvon's point is actually valid - a growing list of car manufacturers have announced they will become electric-only, several countries Europe and UK have announced planned dates for banning all new ICE vehicles. Almost no new R&D is being done on ICE vehicles. They won't go extinct, but it's ICE vehicles that will become niche, rather than the EVs. Horses didn't become extinct when cars took over, but these days getting horse tack is more of a specialist market.

I don't agree with the insinuation that only stupid people support Trump. I think there are a lot of reasonably smart people who are more concerned about power and inflicting their priorities on the country than they are about democracy or political/legal "norms". People who see the Handmaid's Tale as aspirational rather than dystopian, such as Michael Johnson. Or people like Ted Cruz or Steve Bannon, who seem (to me anyway) to seek to take advantage of the chaos Trump creates to enhance their own wealth or power.

One suggestion is to determine where the witnesses were at the time, their age, their height, etc. For instance, some saw him from a distance others up close. Some knew it was a hijack others not. Also look for qualifiers like tall or short or skinny or fat. Where was Cooper too? Standing sitting walking? How long did they see him and how many times? Note. Age is more relevant for determining his age not height.

Business Insider published two stories last week alleging that Neri Oxman, a prominent former MIT professor and wife of billionaire Bill Ackman, had plagiarized repeatedly in her academic work, including copying from Wikipedia more than a dozen times in her dissertation. This is the same Bill Ackman who spent weeks pressuring his alma mater, Harvard University, to oust its president over reports that she had committed plagiarism earlier in her career. At one point, Ackman wrote that a Harvard student who committed “much less” plagiarism than president Gay would be forced out of the university. Gay resigned from the Harvard presidency last week. But when Business Insider published plagiarism concerns about his wife’s work, Ackman excoriated the publication, accusing it of unethical journalism, promising to review its writers’ work and predicting that it would “go bankrupt and be liquidated.” He did not, however, dispute the accuracy of the plagiarism allegation. As a retired academic I dislike plagiarism, but I dislike hypocrisy more.

Congratulations to the United Launch Alliance for a successful launch of their Vulcan booster. This is noteworthy for a few reasons, including the use of methalox engines (same fuel as the Starship uses.) It's much cheaper and cleaner than the normal kerosene/LOX engines most other vehicles use. It also takes strapon boosters the same way the Atlas did, which allows "tuning" of the lift capacity for lighter/heavier loads or lower/higher orbital velocities. (The top stage is a standard NASA developed upper stage.) Currently it's not competitive with the Falcon 9, so it's unsure where this will go. It may be that the ULA just wants someone to buy them out to get a working launcher, and then they get their payday. Or they may be banking on Musk crashing and burning and taking SpaceX with it; the government has already hinted they won't use SpaceX if their top management are doing drugs. Or, more of a long shot, they may be trying to make it reusable and therefore cheaper. They have floated a few somewhat out there strategies, including the engine section sprouting helicopter blades and spinning in for a landing, and a method where they snag it as it goes by with a helicopter. But they'll need $$$ and time to develop any of that.

And if you want to be technical, Trump will still appear on the ballot in CO, because he filed his appeal (barely) in time, which stayed the action.

The entire "Buick Lineup" is FOUR Vehicles. I highly doubt there are any 'stand alone' Buick dealers. So they decided to sell one less brand of car, rather than put a huge investment into a marque that is likely not going to survive.

It doesn't take that long to be exhaustive. Pretty sure I can do this off the top of my head because there are so few. I don't know of any other descriptions from anyone else regarding his height. Gregory - 5'9 Mitchell - 5'9 to 5'10 Labissoniere - 5'10 Spreckel - 5'10 Lysne - 5'10 Tina - 5'10 - 6' in her first interview, 6' in her second interview Flo - 6'0 in her interview, 6'1 in her cockpit notes Alice - 6'1 Williams 6'1+

Your source is pushing a narrative that fits your world view, as all of your sources do. Ford is dropping production to 1600 Lightning a week rather than an initially planned 3200. They've re-calibrated their crystal ball as companies regularly do, but you're gleefully calling it the doom of EV's in general. 'half of Buick dealers would rather quit than sell EV's' is a particular way to phrase it. Another way is to say that Buick offered dealers an ultimatum of heavy investment vs easy money, and half of them took the easy money. So to answer your question, I don't take issue with any of those facts, just your very manipulative way of stating them. Copy and pasting misinformation truly is the way of the great American Thinker (.com)

Yeah nothing will get your point across like an opinion piece from AmericanThinker.com. You think they got the irony when they named it that? It definitely feels like you just Google "EV BAD" and then paste the first article you find here.

It's up now. Hopefully you either found it yourself, or this will nudge you. PS: https://trimsetter.ca/ not .com

FOX News found a new thing to complain about being "woke" - and ended with a hilarous note. The anti-woke heroes of the FOX show Outnumbered were outraged - OUTRAGED! - that Disney hired a black woman, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, to direct the next Star Wars movie. FOX News host Nicole Saphier: “Anything that she makes with this mentality is going to flop. I’m a mother of three sons. I’ll tell you, it is my sons and my husband who are always wanting to watch Star Wars. If her goal is to make men feel uncomfortable, guess what? They’re not going to watch it. And I’m certainly not going to be the one to pull it up. So just like Captain Marvel, when they try to put these women first agendas into these action movies, they flop.” FOX News host Emily Compagno finished off the segment by saying “That’s why I’m a Trekkie and not Star Wars!” Emily has apparently never watched any of the Star Trek series, which has regularly gotten in hot water over its portrayal of interracial intimacy, trans relationships, gay main characters, bisexual main characters, race relations, forced conversion of trans people to cis (conversion therapy) and polyamory. For being triggered by a black woman making a movie, and being ignorant of their "not woke" example, the staff of the FOX show Outnumbered wins this week's Heroes of the Anti-Woke award. https://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-hosts-slam-stars-wars-for-being-too-woke-feminist-thats-why-im-a-trekkie/
