It sems that all is not doom and gloom. Trump will go down in history as the creator af a new World Order. A new World Order based on cooperation amongst Nations for the good of all peoples. That new World Order will have the USA as an orbiting satelite.

The USA has been on Israel's side since Day-1 if the State of Israel. At the birth of the State of Israel, the Middle East was territory overseen by the British and French under United Nations mandates. The USA shouldn't have had anything to do with things there.

These baby videos are so funny.

That's ironic. Isn't one of their beliefs that governments should have no control over the individual?

Ironically, $600-$700 per week would be sufficient to service a mortgage, if there was a house to purchase.

Trump's 60-day DIY war declaration power has expired. Will Congress kowtow to him, or stand up for the rights of the rest of the World?

Post here or in the AI thread? An enjoyable use of AI to make a cute video.

Oh my Lord! That might be satisfying, but as an investigator of motor vehicle collisions it sends shudders down my spine. Very many serious or fatal collisions are the result of an offender running a red light and T-boning a vehicle which has just been released to cross the intersection by a green light. There is usually a delay of about 3 seconds between the display of a red light to one road and the display of a green light to the crossing road. However, we all know that does not prevent collisions. Might I suggest that one does not use traffic control light signals on public roads in the same way as a "Christmas tree" is used at a drag strip?

A reason might be that the Law has not caught up to the technology. I will say, though, that the rapid acceleration of EVs is something that could get any driver into a bad situation. I'd guess that teh new owner of an EV with a bit of grunt would have to practise handling that grunt.

On a trip to Sydney and back, my ICE uses more fuel coming home because I have to climb from near sea level in Sydney to about 3,500 ft at the top of the Blue Mountains. The gradient of tht climb is steeper than the climb coming from the other side on the way to Sydney. Also I don't have to "drive" the car from the top to the bottom when I an on my way to Sydney. The need for more fuel to go up a steep hill is commonsense. The same commonsense that applies to an EV, hybrid, plug in or diesel.

Gripe: Because of my soft-touch keyboard I keep having to go back into posts to correct typos. I think that I might be being pressing the keys too softly. Also, I often type "the" as "teh". That's muscle memorty, I think. Also I keep hitting adjacent keys. These things are set to try us.

Trump's latest threat to bomb Iran to pieces surely must raise the hackles of every other country in the World. Maybe it's time to decalre war on the USA. The first step should be to evict all US miltary from bases in those countries. Let's start painting "Yankee go home!" on a few walls. Strangely, I feel sympathy for the American People who are suffering becasue of the mistake they made due to the effects of the jingoistic propaganda they were raised with.

I don't know the details of the latest media reports on how far an EV will go on a charge, but I wonder if a lot of the problem comes from peoples' ignorance of how to operate a new technology. Perhaps people do not know how to properly manage batteries.

Anybody intersted in talking about EVs?

Ice cores are great for paleo-meterology, but contemporaneous sampling is what is needed for contemporary analysis. Besides, ice cores can't help us monitor CFCs since they did not exist before the middle of tthe 20th Century.
