The Walking Dead, but there's no zombies, just car-brained amerikkkans losing their shit on the roads clogged by vehicles with empty fuel tanks.

A few weeks ago, the Colombian government asked Ukraine to stop recruiting its citizens for the war and requested their return.

The fascist govts playing tug-of-war over mercenary resources.

Epidemiological Balkanization was not on my bingo card, but it makes some sense considering the pathetic COVID response and fractured policies at the local, state and national levels.

The LogicFolding design is really interesting. I'm eager to see benchmarks to confirm the performance improvements. If it pans out, they have opened a whole new avenue of chip design beyond the diminishing returns of Moore's law.

LogicFolding splits logic across two active silicon layers bonded face to face, with roughly 50 million vertical interconnects at a pitch of about 1.5 micrometers. Because signals travel shorter distances, Huawei says it could lower operating voltage while raising density.

That's a lot of interconnects!

LMAO

The fighter jets and jedi is just completely cooked amerikkkan brain worms. Trump's robes are even like some sort of royalty garb with some WH40k vibes. What is the caption on this monstrosity saying? This image might even turn a liberal SW fan to the IRGC side.

e: machine translation

warning: it is so dumb and bad:

The text makes me think this must be from early in the March or something as hasn't been involved in strike for quite a while afaik.

Ugh. Yes, there are a lot of US-made versions that are quite thoughtless towards the actual use of them as PHEVs. I'd guess it was a combination of industry incentives resulting in checkbox engineering, selling the idea of a feature that was not really capable, and latent car-brain habits. I did a look of used options recently, and a lot are Jeeps. There's also quite a few Audis and Volvos listed as well. I didn't deep dive on any of these models, but it seems likely these are not purpose-built for the use case of daily electric driving.

Plug-in hybrids are sort of the sweet stop in the US market. Not as expensive as EVs, but you don't burn gas unless you go on a road trip. Most have plenty of electric capacity for daily driving needs. Unfortunately there seems to be very limited availability of them.

Just consider the competitive advantage that is growing for the Chinese economy with their massive investments in renewable electrification over the last few years. They were already able to develop the best, most cost effective productive capacity in the world, and now they have another significant advantage added on top over all their competition.

Looks like they lost two "availability zones" so far (UAE and Bahrain). There's still the one functioning as far as I can tell. They also have one listed as "coming soon" in Saudi Arabia.

So hopefully they will be shutdown across the entire region eventually

What an amazing photograph.

Why is performative masculinity often so homoerotic?
