One side benefit of embalming is that you never bury somebody alive. You’re definitely dead after embalming.

The point is that it’s not EVs. Car dealerships catch fire all the time. And it’s more likely due to ICE vehicles. https://electrek.co/2022/01/12/government-data-shows-gasoline-vehicles-are-significantly-more-prone-to-fires-than-evs/

There’s an old saying: “Graphene is so versatile it can do anything except leave the laboratory”.

“We hear you, American consumer! You say you want a sub-$40k, small, basic EV. So here’s another luxury SUV/pickup truck/yacht crossover starting at $90,000.”

You are eaten by a grue

Agreed, I don’t see how anyone honest could read any of the letters of secession and not instantly see how slavery is the primary reason.

This is Republicans were talking about. Honesty is a disqualifying characteristic for the party.

This decision was about whether the whole “not being allowed on the ballot if you incite an insurrection” thing was intended to apply to the president, or just everyone else.

Obviously, by any rational reading of the English language. But law is about arguing over what things that seem obvious actually mean, and this was slapping down a lower court that was arguing that it did NOT mean what it obviously means.

“The decision reverses a ruling by a lower court judge who found Trump engaged in insurrection by inciting his supporters to violence, but concluded that, as president, Trump was not an “officer of the United States” who could be disqualified under the amendment. The Biden campaign declined to comment.”

From the Constitution, Article II Section 1:

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years… :

… No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office…

… Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:–"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States…

But sure. The person running the Executive Office of the President is not, in fact “an officer”…

Kills you painfully with a brain infection, I think. I don’t really see the appeal.

It was FaceTime, not iMessage. The reason the developers were surprised was that they didn’t own the tech, and Apple lost a patent lawsuit about it and almost had to remove FaceTime entirely. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-20236114 https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/apple-s-facetime-open-standard-never-happened

No it isn’t. The rate of birds killed is not important. The NUMBER of birds killed is, and wind turbines are just a rounding error in the number of birds killed. Even if we increased the number of turbines to supply all of the country’s electricity, it would STILL not be anywhere near as many as cats.

If this is confirmed, I don’t think the Secret Service would be able to protect him from Mossad.

plus it’s useful in emergency situations.

Yes, in case of emergency, tune to a Clear Channel station so they can tell you how the emergency is the fault if the Woke Left.

Many things can be bad at once, and I’m sure tire particles really are bad. It is just weird that in the 137 years ICE cars have been manufactured (again, with tires the whole time), the fact that the tire particles were way worse than all the other things cars spew out went completely unnoticed.

I’m only being partially facetious. Yes I understand cars are now much cleaner than they used to be, so probably in the past tailpipe emissions were the dominant problem. But an awful lot of the articles talking about this are pushing the idea that EVs are WORSE for the environment than ICE cars (so let’s just keep driving our F150s!), which is absolutely untrue. Better is still better, even if it isn’t perfect.

It’s interesting to me that as soon as EV’s are finally seriously becoming a thing, we are told that tire dust, rather than ICE emissions, are really the worst thing possible for the planet (and it’s somehow implied that ICE vehicles don’t have tires). When somebody points out that ICE vehicles do, in fact, have tires too, EV’s are STILL worse because EV’s are heavier than the equivalent ICE cars. Strangely, the fact that for years, people have been driving ludicrously overweight vehicles (the Ford F150, weighing in at 4,070 to 5,757 lbs, is the top selling passenger vehicle in the US, and last I checked, it had tires) was never an issue.

That depends entirely on your definition of “too hot”. I’m sure if it gets hot enough to threaten to harm the hardware, it will throttle. “Too hot to be comfortable to hold” is a much lower and more subjective number.

Same here. My 15 pro max never gets noticeably warmer than my 14 pro did, even during the initial setup, where it’s doing lots of things. It seems more likely that this is a manufacturing problem that only affects some phones, because people are reporting super hot phones, most of the time, which nobody I know has seen. The phone itself is generating the heat - the climate difference doesn’t sound like the cause.

Toyota: “Threat to our democracy? No, threat to your democracy. We’re just here to sell cars.”

It’s not demanding that they act like Republicans (ie psychopaths), it’s demanding that they make use of whatever power they have to make things better. The GOP is hell bent on making the US into a nightmare theocracy. You need to commit to working at least as hard to prevent that. “Playing nice” and letting the R’s walk all over them has not gotten them anywhere. One of the reasons the R’s do it is that they know it will never be done back to them.

What Tuberville and his ilk are doing are all within the rules. It isn’t ethical, but it is permitted. The Democrats need to be at least as ruthless about using the rules to get their priorities accomplished, even if it isn’t “nice”. People keep talking about how they don’t want to violate “norms”. The reason those norms exist is because both sides knew if they violated them, they as pay. Once the democrats decided to follow the rules when the republicans wouldn’t, everything went off the rails.

So for years we’ve suffered under the tyranny of the minority, which is far worse.

They also have a reputation of being run by people who will kill you if you steal from them.
