I find once I remove addiction (YouTube, twitter) I will naturally get things done

Speculation isn't a poniz because you don't like the asset. Crypto is more accurately rife with fraud, wash trading, pump and dumps and so on

Newer electric vehicles are moving to LFP batteries which are very resistant to fire after shorting or puncture

I would say most shitcoin hacks are inside jobs. Skip the pump and dump and more to stealing from token holders

Any other highway locations would be better. Best thing about an EV is you fill up next to a restaurant or cafe. Never have to go to a gas station again

Exactly. It's a circular argument to say a law is good because it's a law. And no one has any idea of financial laws in each country

Saying that Sam Altman is a scammer

100% this. They are so far behind and every move will be to use regulation against competition

Statute of limitations did not apply. All crimes were scrubbed by Western govts and forgotten by Western media. Remember legacy auto pays for most ads during news broadcasts

Same here. Traveling and when I search for postgres I don't want to find the local student project as the top result

Sorry but duckduckgo or probably any other search is better than Google at this moment

Because in Russia the KGB associated people took political and economic power. Hence ruled by few as is the definition. I'm assuming you believe Mark Zuckerberg has a iron grip on your country and will have you killed if you cross him?

That video is about the Boring Company. They are making tunnels not hyperloops

I never mentioned hyperloop. Again this is the level of reply I would expect of Thunderf00t. You can do better

"Veritasium: BUSTED!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hyy1zRZPiQ This is his area of expertise and is a great "busting" video

Trash: "Elon Musk Invents UNDERGROUND Traffic Jam!" "Tesla Bot" No debunking. Small mindedness, pessimistic rant. Just says Elon will fail but not clear how he knows he will fail

Thunderf00t is hit and miss. Some videos are scepticism, small mindedness, long pessimistic rant without substance and no debunking

Sounds conspiratorial/not my experience doesn't mean not true. Humans are great at conspiracies. The word gets used dismissively because paranoid types claim conspiracy without evidence and experience. If you went to your local court you'd hear about many people witnessing conspiracies

The blade battery is LoFePO4 and the video released show them only heating and smoking after being punched and short circuited

Well if you watch YouTube most nail puncher tests of LFP don't catch fire. There is one video were someone hammers two holes in the battery and it catches fire

space_rock — Mon, 14 Mar 2022 01:39:06 +0000

Believe it's the battery short and discharge that starts the heat and fire. And to prevent damaging the batteries they ship them 50% charged

Newer electric cars are LiFePo and don't catch fire and are less dangerous
