81·28 days agoIf Lemmy has a best of, this should be submitted. Or maybe we just need to create a new one called hardest life lesson.
Seal, YTDLnis, Newpipe, Tubular, freetube, etc… So many alternative options.
4·1 month agoYour caredge article gives context for actual numbers rather then percent. Tesla sells between 110-170k per quarter in the US. It’s down 11% in January in the US according to Business Insider. While still selling 35,000 more vehicles then Ford in that month.
Where as Germany sold 1,429 Tesla vehicles in February, Australia sold 1,592, and France 2,395.
So the scale of sales is vastly different. This is not to say it’s not having an impact, but to dig into a percentage or statistics. (Mind you I wouldn’t use percentage in this post, except I can’t find the month on month numbers without paying for it, so I’ll wait for it to come out in future reports.)
I believe it’s a remote station/environment issue based on my working in Antarctic and on Research ships.
NSF finally saw the light after it was forced down their throat, and they still haven’t resolved it.
Antarctic builds are costly, difficult, and filled with challenges you don’t see in daily life, so while that might seem like a simple idea, it’s about half as hard as as putting it on the space station, with a 10th or less the budget.

- How do you get enough “reporters” to write the pages?
- What does your vison of a topic look like?
- How do you see this having an impact on these incidents?
It would not be hard to set up, but I think spreading the word, then maintaining it (if it becomes a target) could be a huge amount of overhead. I like the concept, I’m just wondering if there is a lower threshold way to make this happen. (Different platform, lowering the scope, etc.)
Maybe we can finally switch to the metric system, given there won’t be anyone left to keep the imperial standards. /s
10·2 months agoThis is the realpolitik answer. Intake perception of power, intentions, hard power, and leverage, among other things to get the context for position changes.
Russia sees creating the “macroregion” as an important long-term project, which would outlast any talks with the west over the future of Ukraine, to help strengthen its footing on the “global arena,” the report says.
The new bloc would connect Russia to the global south by giving each side access to raw materials, developing financial and transport ties, and uniting them through a common “world view [ . . .] where we write rule for the new world [and have] our own sanctions policy”, the report claims.
But it admits the obstacles to Russia’s global resurgence remain considerable. The report says western countries have successfully threatened central Asian countries into complying with sanctions through a “carrot-and-stick” approach while offering them access to global markets, transport corridors, and supply chains that bypass Moscow.
Russia’s allies, meanwhile, have profited from the sanctions by driving Russian businesses out of their home jurisdiction, taking control of import and export flows, and relocating production from Russia, according to the report. It adds that central Asian countries have also sought extra commissions to compensate for the risks of violating sanctions.

Had to look this up with the other comment.
Critically, neither country made concessions to Trump on Monday regarding their trade balance — a condition Trump laid out as a requirement in order to prevent the 25 percent tariff from going into effect. “They have to balance out their trade, No. 1,” the president said Sunday. Trump has long touted tariffs as a way to prevent other nations from ripping America off economically, but this didn’t seem to be an issue on Monday.
Republicans and the Trump administration have long touted Trump as an expert dealmaker, capable of giving his adversaries the runaround with little effort. In light of the brief trade dispute, conservative media hailed Trump as a conquering victor over America’s North American neighbors. “Canada is bending the knee, just like Mexico,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) struggled to defend Trump’s deal with Canada and Mexico as a win for the president during an interview on CNN later in the day.
“Is there a tangible concession in your view?” host Kaitlan Collins asked.
“Yeah, absolutely,” Davidson replied, noting the supposed “commitment from Trudeau that wasn’t there to help with fentanyl.”
Collins pointed out that that plan had actually been announced “six weeks ago.”
“Well, at least he’s reiterated it,” Davidson demured.
The tactic by Trump is obvious: work nations and investors into a frenzy over a potential trade dispute that would actively harm Americans, only to swoop in at the last moment and cast himself as a master negotiator and savior of the populace.

A PSA Airlines Canadair CRJ-700 on behalf of American Airlines, registration N709PS performing flight AA-5342 from Wichita,KS to Washington National,DC (USA) with 60 passengers and 4 crew, had been on approach to National’s runway 01 and was asked by tower whether they could land runway 33, which the crew affirmed, the aircraft was subsequently cleared to land on runway 33. The aircraft was on final approach to National’s runway 33 descending through about 200 feet AGL about 0.6nm before the runway threshold when the aircraft collided with a military Sikorsky UH-60 helicopter call sign PAT25, both aircraft fell into the Potomac River at 20:46L (01:46Z 30.1.). “Tower, did you see that?” somebody radioed at 01:46:39Z. All subsequent approaches were instructed to go around, departures were halted. About 13 hours later no survivors have been recovered.
I started hunting more after my previous post and found thisBrownstein link that has this list of his Executive Orders in google docs.
I’m wondering if other previous orgs are likely to revive, like: https://trumphumanrightstracker.law.columbia.edu/
And

I’m not on a computer, but several orgs have ramped up to focus on his abuses. Both in tracking and legal pursuit… Unfortunately I’m not remembering who right at the moment. I’ll try and look later.
Ones that came up so far:
- ACLU
- Democracy Forward
- Protect Democracy
- Campaign Legal Center
- Human Rights Watch
Yea, an area where the unintended consequences are actually going to push China domestically built airlines to be competitive with Airbus and Boeing, even if they lack the range and efficiency.
