There doesn’t even need to be any kind of cap, they just need to pay more taxes and be prohibited from buying politicians.

We’re talking about people that believe Joe Biden has “open border” policies and that Democrats are performing abortions after birth.

I’d assume they believe every word.

As much as I like John Stewart, I think one of the big issues with Trump was that he and his administration were totally unqualified for their jobs. Let’s not stoop to their level and put up someone who has never held public office.

My understanding is that immunity for official acts WOULD cover an airstrike on Trump, or a death squad assassination.

But that possibly the speech in front of the capital where he said “we’re going to go fight like hell to take our country back” is most likely NOT an official act? Maybe they could hold him accountable for that since it was NOT communication with one of his departments?

Interested in any clarification anyone can offer.

Took a peek in worldnews recently and yeah it’s bad. I don’t remember it being so bad the last time Gaza was bombed. It’s like they cleaned out worldnews for the IPO or something.

I’ll layer on to the other replies which are spot on…

One reason I’ve soured on hydrogen is that it’s overall much less efficient than battery as an energy storage mechanism.

This is a really in depth article about a study that found that “well to wheel” efficiency of battery EVs was 70-80% and with hydrogen it’s 25-30%.

I was initially excited about hydrogen as energy storage for renewable sources, but battery tech has improved and is improving.

Also, one of the major advantages of a BEV for me is the ability to charge at home, possibly from energy generated by my own panels. Even if there were solutions for me to generate my own hydrogen, I’d rather lose 20-30% of that energy with a BEV than lose 70-75% with a FCEV.

Not only that, he said recently that these protests wouldn’t be happening if he was in the White House. His positions on Palestine and left-leaning protests have not exactly been subtle.

Why?

I’m not sure it’s true that the Israeli government doesn’t care about American public opinion, since they do benefit from American military support, but let’s assume what you said is true.

Even if Americans protesting won’t stop the genocide, won’t end apartheid, I’d prefer that those atrocities are not committed with my tax dollars, with support from my government, in my name. The lesson learned from 9/11 shouldn’t have been “we need to enact regime change anywhere in the world where American interest are opposed”. It should have been “Americans better make sure they are OK with the things that their government is doing abroad”.

I’m not OK with it, I’m not willing to risk dying in a terrorist attack so that Gaza can be levelled with “made in America” munitions. I’m not willing to risk dying in a terrorist attack so that oil companies and other big business interests have friendly regimes to collude with in the region as they scam the people out of their resources and freedoms.

I remember it looked really good for a PS3 game, I think the physics of the sand was a tech demo for the PS3’s dedicated physics chip or something like that.

Replayed the Prime series a bunch, most recently the switch remake of Prime.

Great series, I didn’t like some of the dialog/cinematics of the third one but the gameplay was great.

Dread was really good, exceeded expectations. Final boss was hard I’m not sure I ever beat it.

Super Metroid was great but I’m not sure whether I ever beat Ridley.

I think I completed the remake though. Really hoping to see Prime 4 at some point, maybe on a new console.

I haven’t seen an AWD EV more affordable than the M3 yet, and the last I checked the nearest supercharging station is only for Teslas.

For me NOT buying from a scummy car dealership is also part of my criteria.

So it looks like it’s basically a choice between Tesla and Rivian for me and there’s a big price difference.

Would be interested to check out some other options though.

It’s been nearly 10 years since you needed to develop with C# on Windows.

New versions of .NET have been cross platform with a free IDE since 2016.

might be able to genocide too will genocide even harder and louder

Fixed that for you. Vote for who you want, but don’t pretend that there’s any question about Trump’s stance on the issue. He’s publicly called for the final solution to be applied to Palestinians, and people in his party are telling their supporters that they think Gaza should be nuked like Nagasaki.

If Trump narrowly wins the election and the Palestinians suffer even more, wouldn’t you feel the slightest bit guilty for staying home?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to move to a swing state and try to tip it blue?

Edit: tip it blue

You misunderstand, my point is that the Trump will destroy democracy, Biden won’t. Both will likely allow the genocide to go largely unchallenged.

So it’s not a matter of conscience when we don’t have a real choice in the matter.

In fact, I don’t think my conscience could stomach seeing Trump kiss Bibi’s ass for another four years. At least there is SOME movement from the administration on the issue even if it’s just lip service.
