Sacked his new press secretary Katie Zacharia after 5 days on the job.

Yeah- I'd be saying to Tesla shareholders - This is the guy you want to pay a trillion dollars? Some immature idiot who never grew up and spends your money designing rocket cars for other rich idiots?

Is that a useful vehicle, or just another vanity wankmobile?

Nowhere near as good as a Harley Sportster. Nev

The Nazies Knew about Propaganda.. Nev

There is a record spend on advertising for these midterms. Saturation advertising with that sort of money will swing the average mugs. Always does.

When you get in anything you need to Know How Long the fuel will keep you going. (range). before you commit. A lot of fuel Gauges are not that accurate.. IF you got a Leak , or the engine for some reason consumed at above the Normal (expected ) rate, where would you be? You need to know your Endurance always. ATC can ask you what it is. Nev

Depends on how much they get deceived and Have Faith in people who don't merit it... Americans are Probably do dumber as individuals than say Australians are. What BS you get fed affects your view on things. Tell them what they want to Hear and make Vast Promises. It seems the galloping Inflation is Mainly due to...... Guess What? Tariffs. Nev

The solution: What you talking 'bout, Willis?

That's your intelligent opinion. Are we dealing with an intelligent electorate?

We grew up comparing the fuel consumption of vehicles in terms of volume per unit of distance - mpg or l/100km. From those figures we could work out how much it cost to travel a given distance. Now we are given the "fuel capacity" of an EV in kiloWatthours (kWh). Shouldn't electricity consumption figures be quoted in km/kWh? Here's an example: A vehicle can go 80 kms on a 30 kWh battery. That's 2.6 kms/kWh. One kWh costs, on average 30 cents. That's about 12 cents per km. Yes, I know. If you have your own solar generation the electricity allegedly costs nothing (ignoring set up costs for the solar system). But go away from home and you have to pay.

So does AI.But they don't stay there Long. How many AI's are there? Nev

He knows he is gone. Those around him do also. Nev

Don't be too sure of a Democrat landslide in the mid-terms. The idea of that happening is based partly in polling. Over the last three Presidential elections the polling has been way off compared to its accuracy before about 2008. There is a number of factors causing that. This video describes some of those factors. This video discusses the topic. The presentation is unbiased.

Yes. The person is a paraplegic, having been shot through the spine during the incident. Wouldn't look good shooting a cripple. Shades of the SS. Not the usual image of the condemned man backed up against a wall, being offered a last cigarette and a blindfold.

Sat what you like about Wikipedia, but at least it provides the references for the information included in posts. However, there is a rumour that AI agents are altering some entries. I think that id you want basi information on a topic, Wikipedia is pretty reliable.

Greek water polo team member.

He's also cancelled the Live screening of the Firing squad, The Bloke would have to be propped up and that will not look good. . About 80% of Americans are opposed to it. Nev

AI warns you to check it's advice. Nev

I can see A.I. being very useful for direct logic applications such as coding programmes. These are easily proven by test running the code. BUT Ignore AI 'summaries' like the ones google gives you. They are frequently wrong. In fact, the AI's have (for now) now been telling us they routinely make up things. Of course they call it cute things like 'hallucinating'. But the fact is, you simply can not assume the information that AI gives you is correct. Google: The tendency to hedge or create a false balance is actually a cousin of hallucination. When my system is caught between a guiderail to be "neutral" and a prompt about a controversial topic, it will likely "hallucinate" a sense of validity for an unsupported side just to satisfy its formatting goal of appearing balanced and polite.

Water polo is played in 8 minute quarters so the horses have a chance to come up for air.

It will be hard for him to contest the House vote in any decisive way if the Democrats win overwhelmingly. The Senate will be another story as it's likely to be close.

I have ridden in a few evs the last 2 weeks in the US. Uber rides, mustang mach e was nice . Kia evs good , didn't think much of the tesla 3 but liked the Tesla model s. All the drivers said they saved them a fortune compared to ice. But on hot days there range is cut right back running the aircon . My cousin in Phoenix bought a new all electric Audi last year but got rid of it due to range issues. I also got a ride in a hybrid camry, the driver preferred it because he doesn't have to lose time charging during the day and it returns around 55 mpg. And waymo driverless taxis are everywhere now, cousin's husband said they have 10,000 of them and more on the way.

My trucks use around 30-35 /100 km at gross weight of 27 tonnes .
