USA: Slate's New Electric Truck Will Cost Slightly More Than $24,950
Ford's $30,000 EV truck is supposed to be here fairly soon as well, although it looks like that will only be available as a crew cab, sadly.

'Extraordinarily broad': In rare move, judge tosses DOJ subpoenas to Walz in immigration case - ABC News
In his opinion quashing the subpoenas, Schiltz lambasted the government for their "extraordinarily broad" request examining materials "that largely if not entirely relate to constitutionally protected conduct."
You don't see enough "lambasts" these days, it's all "slams" or "blasts"

I don't even want the egg anymore I just want to go back to the way my life was before this happened
A steamer is crucial for easy-to-peel hard-boiled eggs. I steam for 9 minutes for a not-fully-cooked center but you can steam for 12 minutes for fully cooked. Place the steamed eggs in an ice bath and transfer to the refrigerator for at least half an hour. This is the most reliable method I've found for peelability and consistent doneness.

Fetterman hospitalized after fall near his Pennsylvania home
It would be of great scientific value if we could study how Fetterman shifts further rightward with incremental increases in brain damage.

That's how the world works.
Natural gas is used to produce hydrogen, which is then used in the Haber-Bosch process to produce ammonia from nitrogen in the atmosphere. Only about 6% of natural gas is used to produce hydrogen, so even if the price were to rise substantially, we could divert natural gas from other uses and have plenty for making ammonia. We also have other ways of producing hydrogen, it's just that natural gas is more established.
PEM electrolyzers paired with cheap solar in countries with high insolation can now produce hydrogen for less than the cost of natural gas, but we're only recently starting to see the construction of the large-scale green ammonia plants needed to accomplish this. Egypt is currently constructing a 100-MW green ammonia plant powered by solar energy. Even if you didn't have enough PEM eletrolyzers you could still just pass current through some salt water and produce hydrogen, albeit much less efficiently.
It's not going to be a catastrophic issue.

Also, a Supreme Court justice who has taken millions in bribes ruled that bribery is legal. It's hard to have faith in the system when the nation's highest court is rotten to the core.

YSK that Amazon has different prices for different people
Reply in thread
Price tracking systems like Keepa and CamelCamelCamel wouldn't work if they started doing this. I can verify that, when I get alerts, the price on Amazon is the same as the alert price.

Bill Gates softens ‘Climate Disaster’ approach, says strategy needs to shift: Interview
Bill Gates said too many resources are going toward climate change instead of issues like welfare and poverty…
In the letter, Gates called out the “doomsday view” of climate change and said leaders need to make a “strategic pivot” to focus on issues that have the “greatest impact on human welfare.”
“It’s the best way to ensure that everyone gets a chance to live a healthy and productive life no matter where they’re born, and no matter what kind of climate they’re born into,” he wrote.
The “generative AI” part of the headline is not particularly relevant to the article, but is a great test to see who reads the article before rushing to comment.

That's just the Internet now. Every site has content pulled from other sites and their share of local content. Then it gets reposted with more compression artifacts each cycle until it degrades and returns to the earth.

Why can't you make a cheap EV for people who want to be able to throw a couple sheets of plywood in the back? These tiny beds are borderline useless.

He can’t get elected again
He's going to start talking about a third term within a month of taking office. At first they're going to write it off as "jokes" and then he's going to push it to the supreme court.
