I work hard, and I party hard. Let me buy you a shot while you review my CV.

I visit a resort town occasionally near where I grew up along the coast, and there are many rental shops for various kinds of carts. There are premium options that include body kits to make them look like various fancy cars like hummers, jeep, porsche, etc. It's really shows the 12yo aspect of car brained thinking, but if it could get these folks out of their child crushers in everyday life, that would be a significant step in the right direction.

I was speculating with a comrade yesterday that the energy crisis could be a window of opportunity for a lot of folks to rethink urban transportation.

The car ideology would be hard to overcome in the US, so we came up with a sort of trojan horse rebranding idea of low-car garden urbanism as "golf course urbanism" to appeal to Trump's aesthetics. There would be no actual golf courses, but you could rename the bike lanes as "cart paths". Trump seems to really enjoy golf carts, so maybe it could work?

Some wealthy neighborhoods in the US already use carts like this, so maybe it is a possible stepping stone.

I am the captain Fed now.

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.

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.
