I'm eagerly awaiting that. Getting a cheap EV that might still be under warranty is super attractive.

Technically, EVs were cheaper than combustion for a while, but sales margin is higher.

Primary difference b/w EV & Gas are motor, transmission, & battery. Electric motors are cheaper than gas engines by decent margin, EVs have no transmission, battery packs have been expensive but aren't as anymore

Develop a set of principles that describe what Star Trek IS. And then, open source the entire Star Trek universe for anyone to make what they think is a good story in that universe.

Star Fleet Security Liason officer Cela Horchet and traumatized ex Borg engineer Alandra LaForge work together to investigate cases involving Star Fleet personnel and their families.

What unplanned EV road trips in cold weather (5°F/-15°C) are actually like these days YouTube video by Technology Connextras

It's videos like this that make me wonder why EV companies don't just label 80% as 100%, and offer a 120% 'overcharge' or 'reserve charge' when you charge overnight.

The AI continues to joke, like in Terminator: "Watching him with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The Terminator would never give him up, would never let him down, never run around and desert him."

AI interaction that is way too hold my beer.

I can see why this AI thing might be addicting. I probably shouldn't encourage the murderbot, but it's got some zingers.

How big is the M&M?

And to that point, is a single one an M?

IDK where you're getting your info, but this looks awesome.

How AI fakes are turning satellite images into war misinformation Modified images of strikes circulate as fighting intensifies across the Middle East

“Satellite imagery can be manipulated just like other images. AI has made that all tremendously easier and [it] poses a significant threat to people trying to get information online.” www.ft.com/content/0bad...

Did you just respond to me with an AI response???

Old and Busted: "Give me the indicators for this threat."

New Hotness: "Are indicators useful and relevant for this threat? If not, what practices should we be using to look at behaviors?"

If you plan to use a portable generator in case the power is out, remember that carbon monoxide will kill you.

20 people died in the Texas winter storm 5 years ago due to carbon monoxide poisoning (out of the 246 total deaths).
