What is the efficiency of an internal combustion engine in cold weather, for comparison?

At least the EV starts every damn time.

The Swedish strike is still ongoing. The German protest against their factory is still ongoing. The cyber truck can never be approved for use on roads in all of Europe. Every fourth Tesla fails the first EU-inspection. The average for all cars is 3%, so it's exceptionally bad.

I don't think a boycott is even necessary. There are enough reasons not to buy a Tesla.

Harris' plan was to ban price gourging which would put a cap on the price.

Trump doesn't have a plan to lower food prices.

That's the difference.

You're right. Orchestras often tune to the oboe, because it can't easily be tuned and usually stays in tune in conditions that would make other instruments go out of tune.

It doesn't. It's mainly the toothbrush that cleans the teeth.

It's soo dumb.

The "Gulf of Mexico" was named before the country was officially named Mexico. The "Gulf of America" was historically a gulf in eastern Russia.

Both Mexico and USA are part of North America, so I suppose the name makes sense, but why do the republicans think it's a patriotic thing for them? Why is New York named after a town in England? Why don't they rename it to... "America" and change the name of he state to "America"

Canada imports more from USA than it exports to USA. A trade war that decreases exports would hurt USA more than Canada.

The largest exports from USA to Canada are cars and trucks. (Finished products) The largest exports from Canada to USA are minerals, fuels and pulp. (Raw material)

This puts USA at a disadvantage in a tariff game, because it's a lot easier for Canada to replace American cars with Asian or European cars, than it is for USA to replace the variety of ressources that Canada provides

It's also a lot easier for Canada to find other customers for raw materials than it is to sell American cars on other continents.

Right now, not much can done, but ideas will change over time as the people holding the old ideas eventually die from age.

In my opinion, the current shitshow is actually a sign of old ideas dying. It'll take time, but I don't believe the Project 2025 will be successful. It's happening brutally right now, but it will fail, because it's being done with only very slim support from the population.

This was used in the war between Russia and Finland in 1941. Without software though.

Russian had placed bombs in a city in Finland and the bombs could be triggered by a combination of frequencies broadcast on radio.

The Finnish engineers figured it out and drove a car around the city broadcasting a song that would scramble the frequencies.

The worst is when windows doesn't even show that it's doing anything but is still hogging 100% cpu and most of the ram for some random background service for several minutes after booting.

I never click them anyway. If the meme isn't wild enough to get pixelated into a shitpost gif then I don't need to see it. Not once in my lifetime have I ever clicked a Twitter/Facebook/Instagram link and thought that the click was worth it.

Because USA spilled it there?

Why wouldn't they? Pension funds invest in everything

My pension company gives me the option to choose a risk profile to limit how they are allowed to invest my money. The safest investments aren't always the best over time, so currently I have a medium risk which will be sloped down as I get closer to retirement. I could also get a more direct control of their investments, but that requires a lot more time and worry than I'm willing to use.

Ridicule them.

In Denmark it happened rather quickly and less than 200 years ago. Soo many things happened in the late 1800s after the abandonment of absolute monarchy in 1849, that I'm not going to pretend that I can explain it all in a comment.

So... while Denmark has a long history with vikings and kings and stuff, our constitution is relatively new and written around the same time as Karl Marx and the industrial revolution redefining what work is.

If you ever get around Copenhagen, the workers museum is well worth a visit for an insight into the specific events that lead to the democratic socialist government. It was a long hard process and tightly tied to the history of worker's unions.

Very briefly told, it was a worldwide class war. The events in Scandinavia were heavily influenced by the "bloody week" in Paris in 1871 and the establishment of the world wide organisation First International.

It culminated in a several months long lock out in 1899, which eventually gave workers the right to organize for collective agreements. This was only made possible with support from workers from all over the world.

One of the most amazing things about it was how they even managed to organize anyone at all in a time where all workers were dirt poor and only the owning class had any freedom and income at all. The founders of the first unions realized that it would be an uphill battle and were brutally honest about it. They told workers "It might take several generations to succeed, but it needs to be done, so that your grand children will have a chance for a better life.", and yet they managed to organize almost everyone.

It succeeded though and also much faster. One of the three founders of the socialist democratic party lived long enough to see it become the largest political party in the country in 1924 - a position it held until 2001.

Having their first child. You'll never be ready.

Yes, I have kids. No regrets. It definitely gave me a different perspective on life in ways that I could never had experienced in any other way.

No one is ever fully ready for it. It's not comparable to anything else, so it's basically impossible to reach the decision to have children in any logical way. It's a leap of faith. I thought of it as something that I had to do in order to experience as much of life as I can while I can. It's been well worth any amount ofmoney or time that I've spent on it. I'd do it again if I was ten years younger.

Are any of these lovable Americans in the room with us now?

If your opponent plays strictly by a point system, like a computer might, and if the piece is threatened, it might be beneficial to keep the value low to trick the oppont to do something else, while you keep the useless pawn as an obstruction, which could somehow limit your opponent's future moves.

Anyway, it's apparantly not allowed.
