IRL 1984 was fine. America was still good; the Soviet Union didn’t nuke us all

22% is awfully close to the 20% you can expect to answer a survey “wrong” to spite the person with the temerity to survey them

He seems to have reduced the popularity of the far right in the rest of the world

Internet users everywhere are paying more attention to where their stuff comes from as the propaganda leaks. I’m seeing more Made in Australia stickers on stuff than I have for decades

On the reasonable side of the balance sheet, Australia is moving so fast installing big batteries that CATL has named one of their products after the Australian company they’re supplying batteries to

Also we just had a study published and publicised for efficient pumped hydro locations near each population centre (though one state missed it and approved development of a pair of pumped hydro reservoirs in a location the study ranked poorly, leading to further advertising of the study and how its chosen site near the approved one would have been a tenth the cost)

Rooftop solar is so popular that grid demand in one of our two large cities was at an all time low recently

All in all it’s pretty promising here

Though just like America, a change in the party in charge can wreck a lot of the progress

Searching I found one Tesla 3 that caught fire after hitting road debris, several that caught fire after being shot at, several that caught fire after a collision, and many destroyed in arson attacks

Please link some of these “many that caught fire while driving”

Then 10 minutes later the war was back on no holds barred

Then the ship that Russia paid to drag an anchor across it will claim the anchor restraint systems failed and it totally wasn’t deliberate, and will be let off

I always wondered about how that monument in Civilisations games lets you change government type with no turns lost to riots

I guess we get to see if that works IRL

Nice to read he was flying alone. The plane is a four seat one.

If they want to hurt Tesla, attacking their customers’ cars won’t help

So it’s fine to destroy insured private property? It’s not like that’s zero cost for the owner of the car

Fight Nazis by random arson against random citizens property

Sure they’re on the right side /s

Teslas aren’t prone to spontaneous combustion

(For the half that wasn’t joke)

I have that game. The mission from the book was rather hard for teenage me, though I had read the book and knew what to do

Wasn’t the quote for the b2 much more reasonable, but after Congress ordered the air force to reduce the number (in the hope of reducing the budget), the count reduced, but the price remained the same, making each aircraft more expensive?

A hundred more on a thousand dollar device sounds exactly like the 10% duty we pay on things we import

Whole reimplementations have survived. IBM BIOS was the only original BIOS for PCs. Phoenix Technologies had a team read the source code for IBM BIOS (it was published in the user manual for troubleshooting) and wrote a specification for it which a different team wrote software from, making IBM compatible machines possible

I don’t know what law an emulator could be killed under, unless a license holder breached the user license as part of the development

Boot lickers?
