For the same reason I still called Alphabet - Google, and Meta - Facebook. I refuse to let large corporations just try and shake off their shitty past with a name change.

As if you need to be highly educated to realise building more wind turbines would be better than burning coal?

So ignore previous domestic terrorism acts to focus on future ones? I get what you are saying, it’s already over so focus on stopping any new people getting hurt is obviously good. But you can’t just let stuff like this slide. The thoroughness of the jan 6th investigations has been seriously impressive, it’s stuff like this that might make people think twice about participating in such actions going forward. Now they know that “safety in numbers” isn’t a thing, because the fbi will just pick you up 4 years later once they get to you!

Mostly it’s down to stubbornness. But under the guise of visibility. As Martin Brundle once said, they could always just go slower if they can’t see. But that’s not how racing drivers are built it seems. So they all go flat out in the wet, complain that they can’t see shit and then the officials red flag.

Seems pretty cool, nice little upgradable home server or something would be its main use I think. Article talks about no space for gpu but I’m pretty sure that’s intentional, nowhere near enough power available for that.

Even with a 10-15 mins recharge? A couple of times a year I do make a 500 mile journey and if there wasn’t a sea in the way I would happily do it all in one sitting. But as a teeny tiny compromise I wouldn’t mind stopping to charge once or twice along the way! It would add about 20 mins to the journey sure, but seems like it’s worth the benefits to me.

I’d think that too, but I had my first ever ride in a Tesla recently and the way the supercharger network is handled seems pretty clean. Far from a Tesla fan boy but way the car books you a slot and then charges you a fortune if you overstay meant that we had no problem getting a space. Once charging becomes the norm it will be fine.

I get that they are a dedicated sportsman. But why suffer a permanent injury when you could just recover over a few months and come back next olympics? Seems a bit of an overreaction to me!

Hopefully they weren’t applying to be an anaesthetist!
