US Supreme Court rules Trump has immunity for official, not private acts
  • I'm sure he could have done more than he did. Ultimately, they didn't think Trump would win and didn't fight back hard enough because they were worried about the backlash that might cause on the upcoming election.

    Now, Republicans have shown that they won't allow votes in the last year, but only if the dems have the presidency. It also set the precedent that they can even do that in the first place.

    I guarantee you someone who needs replacing further out than a year will now be denied in the future for some other bullshit reason.

    Edit: here's my worst outcome guess. For all future terms where the dems hold the presidency, but not the senate, all future SC nomination votes will be denied since congress and the presidency is conflicted and we can't have a vote while it's in conflict.

  • So..

    Fuck Trump obviously. And everyone who voted for him. (Edit and fuck everyone in the voting doesn't matter camp)

    Also fuck Mitch McConnell

    But god damnit, fuck Obama for not fighting Mitch, and fuck Ruth for not retiring when she should have.

  • US Supreme Court rules Trump has immunity for official, not private acts
  • So, has there been a more monumentally catastrophic series of rulings like we've had this week?

    Presidents are kings and immune to the law

    Kickbacks are now legal

    Executive agencies completely destroyed

    I know other individual rulings may be worse, but in this case the series of rulings.

  • Uber and Lyft now required to pay Massachusetts rideshare drivers $32 an hour
  • Does an airline baggage-handler only get paid for the “specific minutes” when he is lifting luggage?

    What's actually tragic is similar things like this do happen in the air industry

    Flight attendants for example are often paid only for hours on the plane. All the time getting to the planes through security screenings doesn't count. All the work they do at the gate before and after doesn't count. It's only hours in the plane.

  • ever seen how long an artillery shell spends in the air?
  • So, I opened this message and my eyes first saw wind resistance and I thought I was about to get some measurements about an unladen swallow.

    Soon enough I think you'll just he able to give the video to chat gpt and tell it what kind of artillery it is and it'd work that out as well.

    Thanks!

    They're farming GOP idiots.

  • BC government to update code this fall to allow single stair egress buildings
  • These are usually meant for shorter buildings, and I imagine the staircases are all concrete and can't catch fire.

    That being said, if you're in a multi level building and it's only a handful of levels, you should have a window escape ladder as the fire could be just outside your apartment, or in your apartment blocking the door

    Maybe they should even be included, a 4 story, 4 units a level building would only be 16 ladders to provide.

  • 2024 Tesla Model 3 AWD Qualifies for $7500 USD EV Credit again.

    Its eligibility for the EV tax credit drops pricing to under $40K.

    2024 Tesla Model 3 AWD Just Got Cheaper

    It doesn't say what was changed but that makes it a great price again.

    It also really messes up the pricing between the 3 RWD which doesn't qualify and the AWD that does since it's only a 1k difference now. I wonder if we'll see them lower the RWD or potentially raise the AWD price?

    Thoughts on range extenders for commuter cars?

    So both Rivian and Tesla have or say they are going to have range extenders for their trucks, but in both cases even if they are removable and rentable they are huge as trucks are huge. In teslas case it seems to be a permanent change though.

    What about commuter cars though?

    One thing we really need is cheaper in city commuters and those don't need a long range. That brings costs down and gets more people into EVs, but those will get relegated to 2nd cars in many cases.

    If those commuter cars could go to a shop and get an extender added in the trunk though that would make them much more capable of longer trips as well while keeping costs down.

    If the battery rental is similar or less to renting a car for the same period then people would opt to use their own car for the longer trip and all the personal comforts that provides.

    The batteries would be much smaller as well for a smaller vehicle.
