I call bullshit on your bullshit.
The Prius of the last 10 years has a 0-60 of 10.5 seconds, you’re not smoking shit with that.
The 2025 will do a pedestrian 7secs, which is a little less grandma but still slower than many, let alone performance cars.
Before he went nazi, Teslas had one of the highest customer sat ratings of the car manufacturers for years. The whole QC thing was part of a campaign against Tesla - if the customers were extremely happy with their cars then skeptical assessments of the accusations are in order. The Model Y didn’t outsell the Corolla world wide for no reason. If people were willing to pay it then they can’t have been over-priced in the eyes of the buyers, no ?
Nazi man bad, but Tesla made cars that fit the needs of a lot of people for a while. They’ll rightly go broke now because Elon has broken US democracy (and is trying to do so in other countries), but the cars were fine, in fact the big problem I have at the moment is finding a better car to recommend when people ask. The range/functionality/performance/fitout combo is really only matched by BYD (not available in the US) although the Koreans are now pretty decent. Depends on a user’s needs/parameters.
Shame it missed
Subsequent leaks (pun not intended) suggest it’s p for pedo not p for urine.
His long history with Epstein and other actions support this.
Doesn’t really matter either way, his cult members would support him if he disembowelled a child on live TV, let alone anything where the victim survived.
It has a bunch of other nicknames - CyberAztek and ClusterTruck are the only others I can recall
You had me in the first half, not gunna lie.
Insert anakin padme right ? right ? Meme here.
(How do I do that on lemmy ?)
It’s one of the key reaaons Musk bought the election. Welcome to Trump’s USA. fElon will be doing whatever he likes now.
Mostly agree, the other parameter was making it a normal usable car rather than a short range city car. The Japanese & Europeans were just as guilty at building short range stupid looking things (hell Toyota only just stopped this year). If it wasn’t collusion it sure looked like it. Not to mention a massive astro turfing campaign to fuel range anxiety & other FUD
It’s short for “having a hair of the dog who bit you”.
Well there’s an orungatan running the US and donkeys in Congress, not to mention a turtle in the senate, so I think they already have pretty solid representation.
Huh ? It’s at 200 upvotes 9mins after you posted that comment ?
Sooo… Being able to hear the audio if you don’t have surround sound isn’t a reason ?
I really don’t like this timeline, can I have a new one please ?
Not being argumentative but how is it not noticeable to cars if the speed limited got reduced ? I mean that’s usually pretty noticeable unless it’s a “traffic at walking pace” mess
I confess I remain confused as to the actual status of the land.
Is it “commons” ie owned by all who wish to use it, or is it private land owned by a single individual ?
The love for subtitles took off at the same time Hollywood decided to mix their audio so you can’t fucking hear the voices, coincidence that subtitles have surged ? I don’t think so. Watch an 80s or 90s movie where you can actually hear the dialogue. Better isn’t it ?
Agent Krasnov following his master’s orders
Noting that they would have been sent 8 months ago if the Americans hadn’t wiggled and wibbled about giving permission.
“Before the shipping process could begin, Australia had to wait for Washington’s approval to export the US-made tanks to a third country, which was granted despite American officials remaining privately frustrated about the donation.”
Biden may have been better than the current cult leader but I’m still deeply unimpressed with the restrictions on 3rd parties transferring kit to Ukraine
These models don’t work because they ignore the MOST significant driver of inflation
Wellll… they work just fine for their intended purpose - demonstrate the correlation between 2 variables in an understandable way.
What you are (correctly) referencing is that there is a much more complex system in reality than the simplified model - they literally exist to try and explain difficult concepts in digestible ways. Everyone’s eyes glaze over if you try to do the "if this, then that, but if this then the other (at 45 variables level).
So yes, inflation is wildly more complex than just money supply or demand push inflation (the flavour the Phillips curve is looking at).
But the people in this thread bitching about economists dumbing stuff down so they can understand it resulting in simplistic models that don’t reflect the real world would be just as quick to bitch about how they’re in an ivory tower because they refuse to explain things in laymans terms.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Also the Phillips curve is a two variable snapshot from a multi variate world (iow a simplification so freshmen can understand). The right hand graph is clearly not holding the other non graphed variables constant, hence you don’t get anything useful.
Economics as taught below PhD level is about simplifying down concepts to make a complex system understandable.
Phillips curve says that as unemployment gets worse the ability of suppliers to raise prices gets weaker because consumers have less money.
Of course consumer demand is only one facet of inflation, there’s a whole system of variables there.
