A regular combustion car represents about 15 tons of mass when you account for all the fuel it will burn. Less than 5 for an EV (tire changes).

“enormous amount of materials, energy intensive materials” - still less than an infinite amount of petroleum.

Stephen Miller on CNN actually said he considered djt to have limitless power (plenary authority) and then awkwardly froze as if he hadn’t wanted that to slip out.

Ok. Sometimes I don’t bother trying to tell apart a joke from a real concern. I mean, who knows what a struggling publisher would say. No worries.

You need the length for each side. Make triangles. Double each one into a parallelogram. bh/2 for each one.

The CPU and screen are already in the car for other things. No cost there. And I don’t think you actually know how to make a nob.

The screen could well be more expensive than the dial parts, but installation would be cheaper, so we’d need the numbers. The thing about software is that it’s very expensive to make but selling price is as low or high as you need it to be.

The NG has no business being in the public eye and confronting the police at their own job. This is like me popping up at your job in camo with a gun and watching you. Yeah no, not doing anything crazy though.

The billionaires aren’t the ones teaching you about how the planet works. In fact how rich as person is has nothing to do with it.
If you want to understand how the planet works, learn it from planet experts.
