What a piece of crap!

Hate to spoil the anti cybertruck band wagon here, but apparently the owner discovered that they were doing something wrong. I think they seated the charger incorrectly, which allowed it to charge for a bit, but then the safety mechanism from the truck turns off the charging. These trucks and other electric vehicles can charge at this temperature range, but they will have reduced range.

Elon is still a Nazi, and these trucks look horrendous.

Why is Biden blocking the cheapest, most popular EVs in the world?

So reasons include: politics (Lots of swing voters work in the auto manufacturing industry that would get pissed with an influx of chinese cars), national security (worries of the type of information Chinese cars would send back home), and lastly industry protectionism.

As much as this sucks, I kind of agree. We really don't want to rely on China until they prove to reliably not want to screw us. If this was Taiwan, Mexico, any country from the EU, etc. I would definitely want their cheap EVs to hit our market and bloody up the american manufacturers.

Georgia Republican backs Biden, blasts those in party who ‘fall in line’ with Trump

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R)

I feel this takes some of the energy from the title. Better to have some ex Republicans supporting Biden rather than none of them, but I definitely would have wished it was someone actively in office.

Great quote from Duncan though:

Unlike Trump, I’ve belonged to the GOP my entire life. This November, I am voting for a decent person I disagree with on policy over a criminal defendant without a moral compass

Devastated Harris voters conclude America just hates women as Trump wins again

Honestly, I feel we have a huge disinformation problem. A war really where billionaires, Russia, Iran,and China are on one side and we're on the other. They treat it like a war while we treat it like a small infestation. So many Republicans I speak with bring up reason why they support trump that are reasonable: Better economy, Protecting children, protecting rights, protecting jobs, reducing crime.in a vacuum, cool candidate. Except that many of the strategies he utilize to accomplish those goals seems illegal or unhelpful. Even worse, who cares if he could and would accomplish those goals, He tried to overthrow the government. Yet all the Republicans I know view that as untrue. Mainly in the form of, "I don't hear about it much, so it's either fake news,or not really a coup"

Why? Because they get their news from faux news and social media that have focused on keeping those negative aspects of him buried. And both of those things have huge reach.they are the eyes and ears of these voters, how can they not believe their eyes and ears that tell them that Trump is great?

Until that problem is dealt with, we can't have an informed population that votes. Instead we will have a large group of uninformed voters. It's not their fault, they're just some of the first casualties in this disinformation war.

mate in two

I guess the trap is that if white goes for Queen, black moves the bishop to take the pawn by the king. That bishop is protected by the knight nearby and forces the king to move. The only place the king can move is up. The other bishop is then moved to force a check mate. Did I get it right?

It's actually quite crazy to see the amount of change Biden could get done even with out control of the legislative branch. Adding to that, the Republicans are in disarray too yet things still got done.

I'm surprised OP didn't include the largest climate legislation in world history

I want to see another country or region beat us, as this would be welcome competition.

What should I do if my older brother abuses me?

Need more details, but it does seem bad.

  • What do you mean by beat you up?
  • how old are you both?
  • what "other house" did you move to and who lives in that house?
  • who owns the house?
  • Why does he saying he's doing this?
  • What country and state are you in?

without all these details, you probably shouldn't take any advice here as there's a lot of incomplete information.

Kind of sad to see the number of people celebrating his injury. His actions are reprehensible, but he has be sentenced and should be able to carry out that sentence without the threat of violence and death. This is partially the reason people who go to prison come out worse than when they went in.

The value of x

All these people saying its 135 are making big assumptions that I think is incorrect. There’s one triangle (the left one) that has the angles 40, 60, 80. The 80 degrees is calculated based on the other angles. What's very important is the fact that these triangles appear to have a shared 90 degree corner, but that is not the case based on what we just calculated. This means the image is not to scale and we must not make any visual assumptions. So that means we can’t figure out the angles of the right triangle since we only have information of 1 angle (the other can’t be figured out since we can’t assume its actually aligned at the bottom since the graph is now obviously not to scale).

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

WTF BIT ME?

So many bites next to each other could be a bed bug. My understanding is that they'll leave little black dots around the bites as well. Did you see any before? Otherwise, any of mosquitoes, or fleas.
