  1. But the state does not have any editorial control or influence.
  2. When you wrote the title of the thread, NPR hadn't said anything. You couldn't look more desperate trying to fit events to what you want them to be
  3. @billvon you should ask him to pay up $20 per square inch of solar panel you show him
  4. "implying" Try to keep up.
  5. The bullshit was you implying that only gas taxes pay for the road maintenance. And the bullshit that you pretend to care about heavy vehicles damaging the roads. Nice try trying to slime your way out of being called out of your bullshit, but it's not going to work.
  6. Which is, as usual, bullshit. Like you can even keep up
  7. Funny, you were just cheering the "collapse" of lighter, non-SUV and non-pickup vehicles in the other thread. Almost like your fake concern about heavy vehicles damaging roads is...bullshit.
  8. Thank goodness for that. Thanks, mods.
  9. Interesting set of rules you have there. Care sharing the full list? How about "If you have to make up the argument of the other side, you've lost the argument"? How about "if you can't answer and try to change the topic, you've lost the argument as well"?
  10. It almost sounds like you're laughing at the deaths of Ukrainian kids you pretend to be so concerned about...
  11. Just your daily reminder, you haven't named a single US political prisoner yet.
  12. Well whatever Putin is paying him, it isn't enough since he doesn't even have money to buy his son a new bike...
  13. The main problem is not generating hydrogen from electrolysis, but rather storing it. The weight and volumetric energy density is just too low. You can liquefy it, or compress it, then you'll have massive compression energy losses. (compression will increase the temperature, which will then leak out) This will probably be less of a problem where space isn't a constraint such as grid energy or fixed installations, but vehicles like cars or aircraft the storage density is the annoying limitation. Some suggested solutions are attaching it to nitrogen as ammonia (extremely toxic) or, attaching the hydrogen to a carbon atom as methane or a longer chain like kerosene - which will generate CO2 when burned. But if that carbon atom wasn't dug up from the ground at least it wouldn't contribute to climate change.
  14. Yes and it's an injustice. I should have probably clarified, it's against the US Constitution to imprison someone without charge OR trial. Those people may be unable to post bail, but they will have charges against them, and they need to be tried within a certain period. The 38 prisoners at Gitmo haven't been charged with any crimes and no trials are scheduled.
  15. And also not in prison. It's actually against the US Constitution to imprison someone without trial, so these "600 political prisoners" without trial don't exist. The only exceptions are, to my knowledge, the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, but they're more prisoners of war rather than political. And they're kept in Guantanamo Bay specifically because of the US Constitution - and the US government has been trying to close it for years. Finally, the number of those prisoners in Gitmo, is 38. Quite far from 600, and Slim can't even name a single name.
  16. Look, you're the one who claimed there were 600 political prisoners without trial. Since you can't even come up with ONE name, we'll just assume that your claim was bullshit. Tell your son to walk, have a nice day!
  17. I don't think there are any "Gulages" in DC And find your lunch money from someone else, you're just doing that because you have zilch, nada, nothing
  18. Not going to waste time watching youtube propaganda, but should be easy enough for you to take ONE name out of the video and post it here, right? It's probably just actors, too.
  19. Looks like you got 'nuthin.
  20. This isn't even a discussion, it's just Slim King spamming russian propaganda to this thread almost nonstop, with incoherent rambles. But one got my curiosity: Name one.
  21. That's why leftie rags like the Financial Times are writing things like: "Millennials are shattering the oldest rule in politics: Western conservatives are at risk from generations of voters who are no longer moving to the right as they age"
  22. Brent's definition of 'freaks out' is silence: And now: Source: https://www.engadget.com/twitter-removes-us-state-affiliated-media-label-from-npr-account-215742901.html
  23. That would only work if Ford stopped production for a year. They stopped production for 5 weeks, they restarted production almost a month ago (March 13).
  24. But waiting lists are always because of demand being much higher relative to supply. So if production had to stop because of the battery issue (collapse in Ford EV supply) , and if the premise of your thread was true (collapse in EV demand) then the waiting list should be relatively unaffected.
  25. Unfortunately, electrolysis of hydrogen from water is really inefficient. It's much more efficient to just charge a battery with an intermittent power supply (like solar or wind) then discharge smoothly. Again, Hans-Werner claims (without sources or proof) that achieving enough grid-scale battery storage is too far away, but in the same article claims that a much less efficient hydrogen process is more realistic. You'll need many more times the solar or wind capacity to store enough energy in hydrogen as opposed to batteries.
