No it means the exact same thing it always did. It’s just that there are such a lot of them out in the open now, that it is used a lot more than ever since WW2.

It is true that FPTP is contrary to a well functioning democracy, but in USA it has become down to an insane option of intolerance and recklessness that since Trump was elected the first time has decidedly turned to fascism, against the less insane option.
But it is not only FPTP, it is also the whole concept of a President with extreme powers for a democracy.
A president like in USA will always boil down to 1 man, ultimately making it a binary option, and that man has way more power than any single person should have in a democracy.

There is absolutely no 2nd worst about Republicans. There is no way you can reasonably argue the Democrats are worse than the Republicans.
Republicans are the result of a feedback loop on insane rhetoric where psychopathy is interpreted as a symbol of freedom. And a government and media normalizing that psychopathic mindset.

In many cases that side of politics and media have completely lost contact with reality. That is textbook insane!

These dirt cheap consumer cards are nowhere near the half million dollar compute cards we can sell as many as we can make to AI data centers.
You get what you pay for.

We are working with numbers in the trillions of dollars now, selling for billions worth of components costing millions.
That RTX 5090 isn’t even close to a rounding error to us. So sorry for being a bit sloppy on the quality.

I’m 100% with you, problem is that in 4-8 years after Trump is gone, and with a Democrat as President, half the American population will have forgotten. Just like they did after Bush, and just like they did after 4 years of Trump’s first term.

It’s like half the American population is insane and never learn!?

Do you have an example of this alleged IP theft?
Because the things they are famous for are their own developments,like the blade batteries and the insanely fast charging.
The rest of an EV is not really different from normal cars, or are you claiming the rest of the world has some IP right to make cars?

China is absolutely a giant in EV development and production.
But compared to EU they are not really ahead IMO. I just saw a review comparing a Zeeker and Mercedes of similar price.
And the Mercedes beat the Zeeker by 25% in efficiency!! Using only 16 kWh/100km against 20 for the Zeeker.
The Zeeker was fast at charging, but with similar sized battery the Mercedes had way better range.
Also the assistant systems in the Chinese car were utter crap compared to the Mercedes.

In the cheaper spectrum the new ID Polo from VW has got absolutely raving reviews.
So I think we are still in the game here in Europe, But as you state, I too think USA is falling behind.

Each Flash charger carries 370kWh of on-site battery storage

That buffering approach is central to how BYD has quickly scaled the network. A site that would otherwise need an industrial-grade grid connection can instead run on a more ordinary one

This is very cool, and answers a question I’ve heard from users here, arguing that the draw from a cluster of such chargers would overwhelm the grid.

I like those 5 principles.
I hope something close to that will succeed.

Trump is losing on so many fronts now that it’s hard to keep up.

1. Iran War is a catastrophe militarily, economically and politically.
2. Trump has managed to show the US military is vulnerable.
3. Trump has managed to overstretch the military budget against a country with only 5% the military budget.
4. Canada not yielding to stupid demands in trade agreement.
5. The way he lets ICE operate is massively unpopular.
6. Lost badly in trade war with China, where it quickly turned out China had the upper hand.
7. Ukraine Russia war, where Trump had hoped to make deals with Russia.
8. The economy in general, and the federal economy in particular. the federal spending is now 40% higher than revenue, creating the most massive deficit ever.
9. Trying to manipulate bond yields.
10. Former allies unwilling to help, because Trump has alienated them, for instance pissing Europe off with his claims on Greenland.
11. Even farmers are turning against Trump, the people of the heartland, that are supposed to be his biggest supporters. But that too he has managed to fuck up.
12. Declining popularity among voters in USA.
13. He is losing his grip on congress.

On the other hand there are also all his many many victories like…
Hang on…
Goddammit I’m thinking!!

Ah yes.

1. Tax cuts to the rich.

Phew, for a moment there I thought it was all for nothing.

Another example of a society that has lost its mind, and has become psychopathic, because they see sociopathy as a form of freedom. When instead it oppresses the population where it should help.

A Psychopathic solution to a problem that is also caused by psychopathy.
To call it a weapons free zone is disgusting, when we all know it’s to prevent the homeless from sleeping there.

I’m using the one from F-Droid.

No that makes sense, I hear many Americans refuse to use GPS, because no one can tell them where to drive, they drive where they want and which way they want. Not according to what some sissy computer tells them.
FREEDOM! 😋

OK, I’ll give it a try, although I generally use the 1 in my car. But maybe I like comaps better ?.

I thought OSMAND was Open Source too.
I never paid anything for using it.

Haven’t tried it, but it’s based on OpenStreetMap, so I guess it also calls it Lake Ontario.
Why is comaps better?

Yes it is, sorry my mistake.

OpenStreetMap also has it as Lake Ontario:

They also have navigation called OSMAnd.

the courts determined he was in the wrong for this.

For fucks sake that was the basis for my original comment, why do you think you are making an argument repeating that?

Also if it is illegal, why was it accepted in separation court?

What a weird comment to make??? That’s what my entire comment was about to begin with.
A court in Taiwan, which made me comment that Taiwan is a weird place to make such a court judgement .
Repeating it over an over again is not making a point.

True that it is shared, but she helped an intruder into their bedroom, he has a right to film the intruder, and it is absolutely her own fault that she was on the pictures too.
