If a hispanic guy being aquitted for defending himself from three white attackers is your best example of white supremacy in action and your reference is from the civil war - maybe take a deep breath and realize the country isn't doing as bad as your peers at facebook claim

Gaige is a convicted felon who was illegally armed with a gun and drove to Kenosha to riot. It is hard to understand how you label him the good guy in this scenario.

to my understanding the f35 is actually pretty price competitive with other offerings. The price keeps going down as more and more are sold

I didn't downvote but it doesn't seem like a stretch to imagine that industrial mining vehicles will go electric in the near future.

Tires are definitely an issue but producing gas involves a lot of trucks as well. Between all the work in oil pumping/refining/distribution there must be quite a bit of rubber burnt!

Edit - I think the tire issue definitely needs to be solved, but theres no reason it has to keep us using gas vehicles over electric

meanwhile i bought a 240v connector for my EV but never paid to have it hooked up because the 120v connector it came with it unexpectedly turned out to be fast enough for my use case.

I tend to get down to about 50% battery on my base model3 after a weekend of errands and it will charge back up to 80% overnight

I realize this new cable design would be more for on the road quick charging - but I think even that is pretty fast currently.

the phrase comes from the unique German WW2 weapon "Sturmgewehr 44" (literally Assault Rifle 44).

It was the first example of the Assault Rifle weapon type with the defining characteristics being an intermediate cartridge (between pistol round and rifle round) that allows controllable automatic fire at engagement ranges further than submachine guns.

Most AR15s cannot be considered 'Assault Rifles' as although they are chambered in an intermediate cartridge, they are for the most part semi-automatic and not capable of automatic fire.

Note that 'Assault Rifle' does not seem to be a ATF defined term, they always use the term Machine Gun for automatic weapons. The term "Assault Rifle" is more commonly associate d with anti-gun organizations as it has become a emotionally charged word

I think every home/car repair that I did in the last year I learned by watching a youtube video. I would argue that not using youtube is actually very very difficult in 2021

GG is a interesting person. He was already convicted of home invasion and is therefore prohibited from carrying/owning/purchasing a gun.

He had DUIs after this event but was let off

There has been some suggestion that his ability to avoid prosecution suggests that he is a likely FBI informant in Antifa.

GG isn't from Kenosha but no one makes any issue about him illegally traveling there to riot with a weapon

kind of like how you fail to admit that one of the two 'unarmed' men was armed with a skateboard that he was trying to beat kyle to death with.

Kind of a major omission to make when you're accusing your fellow commentators of lying by omission

if you have a garage there is the huge advantage of not having gas/oil fumes filling up your garage and seeping into your house. This was a big plus to me but I seem to be more sensitive to this then some people

but the autopilot makes you nudge the wheel every 30 seconds. if people are really sleeping in their teslas they have added a device to defeat this attention tracking mechanism
