"Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience" - Winston Churchill or Abraham Lincoln (probably)

Que venham os carros elétricos (eu já tenho um). Não polui nem o ar nem nossos ouvidos.

That would require arable land, which would affect food production or require devastating wild areas to create new monoculture farms. Both options would come with horrible side-effects for society and/or environment.

And my bow.

Same. It was one the worst espressos of my life. Considering that I live in Brazil, the world's largest producers of coffee, that disgusting liquid was like a slap in the face.

Fuel rationing. You get a certain ammount of fuel per year with no extra taxes on it. If you use above that ammount, you're charged a marginal environment tax.

Musk has called the Moraes' decisions regarding X "unconstitutional."

According to which constitution Melon ? You do realize that Brazil is a sovereign country and we have our own constitution right ? You know, the one that has explicit protections against hate speech, discrimination and harassment ?

Also, do you really think you know more about our constitution than a fucking Supreme Court Minister ?

You're pathetic, Elmo.

According to the open-source intelligence (OSINT) site Molfar, Ukraine has sunk or damaged nearly 60 ships of the Russian Navy.

How, for fuck sake, Russia managed to lose 60 ships to a country that has NO NAVY ?!?

Holy! Shit!

I read this as "We're not competitive on a global market anymore, so let's retreat into an shrinking niche, until we're gone or someone buys us".

Sure, they can't compete in price, considering Chinese subsidies, but how about competing in the upper market, with quality and sophistication.... Oh, wait... those are US car makers. They wouldn't know quality if it smacked them in the face.

Well, then. Leave the low end to China and the high end to Germany and Japan then.

if you ignore the human element

And that's you problem right there. The same people that can get tricked into revealing their SN#, mother's maiden name, etc. are the ones who would reveal their private keys to a scammer.

Fraud is a social problem, technology can assist in managing them, but not solve the issue. In the end, it's all about the human factor.

Which means Russia has to move assets from other parts of the country to replace the destroyed equipment, creating gaps Ukraine can exploit, This reinforces the idea of how fragile Russia's defenses are

Even on ideal conditions (close to the Equator, no clouds) like in Northeast Brazil, you only get 5.5 to 6.0 kWh/m^2 of Solar energy, which means the roof of a small car, with 1 m^2 of solar panels, would only generate that amount of electricity if they were 100% efficient. That's just 10% of the battery capacity of a small EV, like a BYD Dolphin.

My point is, even if solar panels doubled their efficiency, they would still only capture about half the energy of the Sun (currently, the best panels are at 24% efficiency), which means only about 2.5 to 3.0 kWh per day.
