I really, really want to see Jordan Klepper debate with interview Trump and not hold back at all.

Seconded. Seth had to pitch the show to Fox as a sort of live-action family guy and kept it going for the first few episodes, but it quickly sheds that vibe and keeps getting better.

Now would be a good time to start watching Doctor Who (2005) if you haven’t yet 😂

I love this phrase and might steal it, also you’re so right.

YEAH THAT TOO (I’ve honestly lost count of all the things that should have been disqualifying by now)

Question: How the shit does the US legal system claim that “High crimes and Misdemeanors” disqualifies someone from being President, but 34 FELONIES is ok?

Answer: because the people in charge don’t care.

I’m glad he’s been convicted but any idiot can see that this should disqualify him.

Maybe in the house. Now take a look at the senate voting records and remember bills don’t become law in the US until the House passes with a majority and the Senate passes with a supermajority, and either the President signs it (which Biden did) or congress overrides a Presidential veto with 2/3 majority.:

It passed in the Senate 88-4 and the House 387 to 26.

Translation: Bipartisan cooperation is required to pass literally anything. So the passage of any bill into law means the parties agreed on something. Therefore, Democrats agreed pretty overwhelmingly with Republicans (and Biden) on this.

That might be, but sadly most Democrats also voted for this.

That’s the only way it was even able to clear both the house and senate, then it had to be willingly signed by Biden.

They can work together when it appeases their donors, but at no other time.

The vast majority of both parties are sadly, just shills for their donors and laws like this are proof of that.

I mean yeah ideally we would instead improve our infrastructure to not be so car reliant. But that’s sadly much less likely to happen and much more disruptive and costly.

At least with the infrastructure we have now and the way our cities are laid out, we should make what cars we do have as efficient and clean as possible.

Fuck cars, but we’re not gonna get totally rid of them any time soon. Might as well mitigate in the meantime as best we can.

With more J-1772 chargers around we wouldn’t need as many CCS/NACS chargers except on highways for long-distance travel. Does NACS include Tesla Destination chargers? Genuinely not sure.

It’s not the range or speeds that’s the problem, it’s charger availability and reliability.

IMO the simplest answer is L2 charging everywhere, DCFC on highways, both with reliable uptime and repair windows.

If one could charge at home, work, the grocery store, the bank, the mall, the theater or everywhere else they might run an errand from time to time, the chargers don’t need to be that fast or expensive, EV batteries don’t need to be as big, and L2 chargers are a fraction of the installation and upkeep cost of DCFC with minimal wear on battery life. This also means EVs could be lighter and cheaper with smaller batteries.

DCFC makes sense every 50 miles or so on freeways to more than cover anyone looking to road trip.

Ubiquity and SLA’s are the two biggest areas functionally holding back our infrastructure.

It annoys me to no end when you see a mall advertising EV charging and it’s like 2 plugs that work maybe half the year for their parking lot with like 1k spaces.

The problem isn’t range or speeds. It’s availability and reliability. That’s it. Not all chargers need to be DCFC, we just need more of them with reliable uptime

Yellow 2003 Suzuki Aerio SX. Ugly-ass car, but had a 6-CD changer standard and despite a rating of 20mpg by my calculations I got around 40-ish mpg. As a teenager working a retail job at minimum wage, it was awesome.

The cost of living keeps going up and corporations are buying all the housing out from under individual buyers but yes Bloomberg this is more important news.

Totally makes sense. Personally I was so in awe of what I did see it was more than enough to make the experience worth it.

Point being even if you’re not able to get quite into the path of totality, if you can watch it you absolutely should! :)

❤️

Yeah, that all happened in 99.8% too, so what did I miss?

I was in an area with 99.8% totality in the 2017 eclipse and all of that happened.

Everyone I know who went to a 100% location described everything you did as the reason for going, but gets annoyed when I explain I experienced literally the exact same thing.

Is it really that much of a difference?

We lose more than a 9/11’s worth of people every day still due to COVID. The presence of other factors that result in death in no way erases this amount of loss, and yet we’re so numb to this it almost feels like it isn’t happening anymore to most of us.

Unfortunately I think we’re all too desensitized from the last decade or so to care if anything does happen, but I genuinely hope I’m wrong. It’s not looking good, though.

Taco time has no business being as good as it is but yeah their kits aren’t quite as great. It started in my hometown and has never gone down in quality, only expanded and released other things. Nothing beats a taco time soft bean burrito imo.

You my friend are so lucky to have known it too, and I am so jealous of your taste buds for only just starting this t-bell journey. Hope you liked it!
