I guess that’s the point I’m trying to make. Not giving the name of the movie means either the comment wasn’t for you (because you already know it), or that it doesn’t actually help you.

In the movie, Robert Downey Jr’s character said…

I know you’re talking about Tropic Thunder, but how many other people would?

Ah yes, I see.

The study found that EVs produce fewer non-exhaust emissions in heavy traffic situations. However, when roads are clearer, their greater weight can lead to increased particulate pollution compared to gasoline vehicles.

EVs do have one downside brought by their extra weight, more brutal torque delivery and superior power compared to gas cars: their tires wear out faster. This is also a source of emissions that affects air quality. However, while EVs can’t escape the physics brought by their extra heft, their tires don’t wear out anywhere near as quickly as some deliberately misleading headlines might have you believe, although there isn’t a definitive number stating how that’s different from a combustion car.

They shed less particulate matter overall, but they still wear through tires faster. Both of those articles are about how great regenerative breaking are, and don’t say that electric cars produce less tire dust.

So hey, what are the actual alternatives to Visa and Mastercard, especially if you live in the US?

limited access to, or visibility of, online presence could be construed as an effort to evade or hide certain activity

Do you really not? Can you not connect the dots between “limited access to, or visibility of, online presence” and not having a social media account? Do you truly not understand how these two things are related?

A separate cable, obtained by multiple news outlets, directed embassies and consulates to vet applicants for “hostile attitudes towards our citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles”

…

Applicants for student and exchange visas will now have their “entire online presence” vetted, per the cable reportedly said. If students refuse to change their accounts to “public” and “limited access to, or visibility of, online presence could be construed as an effort to evade or hide certain activity.”

Seems like a reasonable assumption to me

if applicants … don’t maintain a social media presence, the government may interpret it as an attempt to evade the requirement or deliberately hide online activity.

Presumably it’s disqualifying.

Electric cars are the cleanest type of car. There are much better alternatives if you really care about the climate impacts.

if applicants refuse to unlock their accounts or otherwise don’t maintain a social media presence, the government may interpret it as an attempt to evade the requirement or deliberately hide online activity.

Here I was, wondering why people don’t just say they don’t have a social media account.

I’m assuming he’s just incapable of understanding the consequences of his actions, because usually there aren’t any.

If you have the time for all that you might as well join the striking workers outside instead of just calling in sick

I just opened up CoMaps because I never actually checked before, and it is in fact the Gulf of Mexico, while google and apple both have “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)”. I’m also learning that CoMaps is on the app store, so I guess my takeaway is you should try not to use the default apps on your device.

Zubat, Meowth, and Voltorb are all first evolutions though, and only Zubat even has a third evolution.

I’m guessing you missed the “Euthanize spider” slide with a little snowflake icon.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a nonprofit focused on combating antisemitism, defended tech billionaire Elon Musk’s “awkward” gesture during a Monday celebratory event which some critics panned as a fascist salute.

“This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety,” the ADL wrote in a Monday post on Musk’s social platform X. “It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.”

From the Hill if anyone else wanted to know more.

If you’re just going to copy and paste from an NPR article, you might as well provide a link while you’re at it.

Only if you’re counting the Coast Guard and Space Force (and maybe others I might be forgetting). So don’t do that, it would make Donjuanme wrong.

Israel is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons. Estimates of Israel’s stockpile range between 90 and 400 nuclear warheads, and the country is believed to possess a nuclear triad of delivery options: by F-15 and F-16 fighters, by Dolphin-class submarine-launched cruise missiles, and by the Jericho series of intermediate to intercontinental range ballistic missiles.

Israel maintains a policy of deliberate ambiguity, never officially denying nor admitting to having nuclear weapons, instead repeating over the years that “Israel will not be the first country to introduce nuclear weapons to the Middle East”. However, in November 2023, amid the Gaza war, the junior Heritage Minister Amihai Eliyahu publicly called for dropping a nuclear bomb over Gaza, which some took to be a tacit admission that Israel possesses such a capability.

I wouldn’t be so sure of that.
