I think I mean they have the largest percentage of their cars that are connected to the same homebase… Like…all of them.
Tesla may have the largest percentage of their own cars connected, but they don’t have the most number of connected cars. That would likely be GM with their 30 year old Onstar service.
Tesla has only sold 8.9 million vehicles over the whole life of the company, while GM has over 12 million Onstar connected cars sold.
Can you give an example of some European products you can’t find in Canada?
I would also recommend blocking them. Look at their post history. They’ve been banned from nearly every Lemmy community they’ve posted in. If that doesn’t scream “bad faith”, I’m not sure what does.
On Sunday, Crawford, who initially joined CBS in 2009, wrote on X: “Earlier, I tweeted a video from an Abdul El-Sayed town hall. I deleted that tweet because it was a violation of CBS News standards. I apologize.”
She didn’t delete it because she changed her mind. She deleted it because her bosses told her to. October 2026 must be too early for CBS to go full mask-off racist shills.
The 2026 realist in me is trying to figure out how this turns into a big juicy bone for the existing entrenched industry players.
The distilled spirits law was from 1868. Other “Reconstruction era” laws passed, that could be targets:
We know modern Republicans don’t like either one of these things and think they should be abolished.
and then I have electric radiators to make only the areas I am using comfortable.
While electric radiators are 100% electricity efficient (meaning 100% of the electrical energy turns into heat), they are very far away from an economical way to create heat. I understand the cost of a central heat pump can be expensive. If you’ve already modeled your heat use around specific smaller spaces to heat to comfort level, you may benefit from a small window mounted heat pump that costs $340.. The one I linked here shows a power consumption of 800 Watts (on a better site). If you’re in the USA, your electric resistive heaters are likely drawing 1500w.
Here’s how that would translate to energy consumption costs (assumptions: you pay 25 cents per KWh of electricity):
So this unit would cost just about half the electricity to run, and produce 36% more heat! Obviously neither heater would be running full blast for 24 hours, and the heating efficiency will vary depending on how cold it gets outside, but the savings would likely still be substantial. You might even be able to run the window heat pumps longer and use less natural gas. More expensive than a window unit, but still far cheaper than a central heat pump would be a mini-split. These are usually even slightly more efficient and far cheaper than central heat pumps.
Considering you’ve already got a PV solar setup, your solar power would go significantly farther in reducing your monthly energy bills.
Doesn’t she claim to be a centrist democrat?
So do male trump voters that are single after they keep getting rejected romantically when they reveal they’re MAGA.
I didn’t really have much interest in seeing this documentary before, but now that the powers that be are taking actions to suppress it, my interest in seeing it has grown substantially.
I honestly don’t feel bad about it though. Speeding is dangerous.
But the system isn’t stopping the speeding. If you concern is that speeding is dangerous, Australia currently has a system in place the costs residents huge amounts of money but does nothing to stop the speeding. The data is showing its increasing even! The system in place seems to be making speeding worse and more prevalent.
We use automated speed cameras here in Australia, and mostly everyone adheres exactly to the speed limit
I don’t live in Oz, but a recent news report would suggest it contradicts your statement. Camera revenue in NSW alone explodes as fines reach $308 million, which is than $39 million increase over last year. If your statement matched the current situation, fines would be reducing, but instead they’re increasing.
Total annual revenue from speed and road safety cameras across Australia exceeds $1 billion.
Speed and red light cameras don’t appear to be a traffic safety system, but instead a revenue generation channel for the state.
Tommy thought words were just some kind of incantation; say predefined fix words and the magic happens.
El-Sayed just taught Teepell that words instead are a conduit for critical thinking and communication. Teepell kept trying to say the incantation to have the effect he wanted, and nothing happened except Teepell getting verbally walked over for his own stupidity.
We’re probably talking about slightly different aspects of the same thing.
Emergencies are handled by pulling peope that are off duty
There are different levels of emergencies, right? So there is likely Y number of officers that have to be on duty at all times, and an additional X officers that number officers need to be employed by the department yes to respond to the highest levels of emergency to be able to pull people in when they are off duty.
firefighters (volunteer and professional), and first-responsders from the surrounding area.
For this discussion, I was assuming we’re only talking about police response needed. When I say “police needed to respond to emergencies” I’m only talking about the police component, not the other type of first responders. I don’t see how its useful to expand the conversation to other first responders when we’re only talking about employed police officers. If you have information about how the number of firefighters/EMTs can increase or decrease the number of police officers employed for policing, I’m open to consider that argument or something similar.
Cutting the police budget is notoriously difficult for political reasons.
I agree with this.
Why does everyone drive 10-15 miles above the speed limit?
Because speed limits are not strictly enforced
Why don’t we raise the speed limit if that’s how fast everyone wants to go?
Because if that happens that any per-textual stop the police want to do needs an another actual crime being committed before they can stop you.
Why is traffic enforcement given to very expensive and ineffective police instead of cheaper and more automated traffic cameras?
I reject the premise. Traffic enforcement isn’t very ineffective because the majority of people aren’t driving 50+ MPH over the speed limit. Also, its not that expensive because your premise suggests that if we had cameras, we’d need fewer police. I don’t think that’s the case. When an emergency response is needed we need X number of police to respond. Therefore X number need to be employed and on shift at all times. If we have the expense of traffic cameras, its not going to reduce headcount below X, and we now have the additional expense of purchase, install, and maintenance of all those traffic cameras. The cameras have an headcount overhead of staff of their own.
Traffic cameras also introduce mistakes of their own including misreading plates, or thieves using stolen/copied plates, which would otherwise ensnare innocent citizens.
It’s a serious confusion I have about how society is supposed to operate because it seems like a complete and total breakdown of logic and sense.
I think you’re looking at the rules and assuming the logical outcome is the desired result. Change your mindset. The desired result is what happens when human society is given a set of rules and reacts to them. The reaction is the actual desired result. The set of rules is simply one step to get there. In short, humans aren’t 100% logical nor are they 100% rule following, knowing that, you establish a set of rules that you know will have some violation and you account for that in rules.
Maybe the Mooch was the Planck unit and the Zachariah is the quantum unit?
Hang on, I think others posted that Mooch was fired before he signed his contract. This would suggest that a Mooch is in superposition existing in both a fired from employment and not yet hired for employment simultaneously. So only observation can collapse the waveform to obtain a singular value of a Mooch for a given moment.
Her only press conference was about 15 minutes long. It sounds like she burned up all of her allotted 15 minutes of fame in one go.
My solar PV system was one the reasons I went ahead and ripped out the gas furnace and put in a cold climate heat pump. No amount of solar generation lowered the gas bill, but with the heat pump that is yet another bill that is paid for largely by the panels on the roof. The continued rising costs of gas was another incentive to remove the low efficiency contractor grade gas furnace. In the USA we were also able to take advantage of the tax credit to pay for part of the heat pump installation before trump did away with the credit.
Can I ask what fuel you’re using to heat your house now? Also do you have AC for cooling in your house already?
We’ll see what he does after the elections.
He’ll have his hands full with impeachment hearings. /hopefully
Getty shares have lost about 99% of their value since returning to public markets in 2022 through a special purpose acquisition company that valued the company at about $4.8 billion, after 14 years as a private firm.
A SPAC strikes again!
It makes me curious how the financials could go so wrong for Getty. What are their operating expenses? Certainly fixed costs for the infrastructure for maintaining and distributing images and video, but with the royalties they charge I would imagine that is a tiny cost. I would also guess human staff needed for negotiating larger licensing/content deals would also exist. Even with these two expenses licensing images, I would think, would be very profitable.
The article mentioned bond holders, so they’re clearly carrying debt. I wonder if that was just for the attempted Shutterstock acquisition or if they’ve been borrowing to maintain operations for years and the worldwide credit crunch just caught up with them.
Musk is an ass, and wrong here, but for others confused by the headline here’s the quote:
“And so the slaughter continues,” Musk wrote on X. “Time for Zelensky to go.”
Why isn’t Musk asking for Putin to “go” as its Russia’s slaughtering that is causing all of this? Ukraine isn’t invading Russia. Russia could stop this TODAY by pulling all its troops out of Ukraine and stopping its attacks on Ukrainian cities and civilians.
So the $25 billion judgment is a judicial reduction from the jury award of $219.5 billion.
I also like this decision from the judge:
Meta will likely appeal, but not only does that not guarantee a reduction in the judgment, if they drag this out for years, New Mexico gets paid out even more.
