That’s bullshit, there’s always room for interpretation of any law. Especially when laws start overlapping and someone has to decide which law takes precedence.

The real failure of the US political system is that voters that were stupid enough to believe that uncompromising is the same as strength. Once bipartisanship collapsed, the only way to get anything done was through the courts because as soon as any law passed someone somewhere sued to stop it. The courts became political because all laws passed through them.

This happened because Republicans realized their actual policies are unpopular and don’t work, so they have specifically been stacking courts with conservative judges for decades so an unelected cabal of rich assholes get to decide all the laws in the country.

EV motors can add energy in either direction of rotation, or remove energy from the existing rotation.

Regenerative braking is removing energy, and yes you must be moving for it to “regenerate” energy. You are correct that it can’t hold you in place without adding energy, you’d roll forward very slowly.

However if you look up how these motors work, the same magnets that are timed to make the motor run can be used to lock the motor in place by adjusting which electromagnets are powered. So the onboard computer detects when motion is slow enough for regenerative to stop working and switches over to magnetic locking, which does burn a bit of energy.

Many conservative Israelis hate the victims of the Holocaust for being victims, they see them as weak. They feel shame, not empathy, and they’re happy to follow the Nazi methods so long as they are not the victims.

1. Yes. Guess which color skin they want the 100M to be.
2. Yes. Again, guess which colors the skin of the people they worry are having too few/to many children.

I mean… “Small government” Republicans were always demonstrably lying, as far back as any of them have been alive. Every one of them just wanted to shift money from things that support people to the pockets of their donors.

Yeah it’s unclear how much fantasy was allowed with these questions. Like if commute and money and pollution were no object I’d prefer to live on 1000 acres in the mountains with a cabin-mansion and hobby farm.

But realistically for cost and commute I just want a big yard for gardening, and peace and quiet.

Nope, your “nothing matters everyone is the same” bullshit is wrong. There are different levels of harm and the far right is objectively more harmful to more people.

There is a plan… It’s all laid out in Project 2025. The endgame is a christofascist USA ruled by a hereditary nobility of the billionaires.

No, it’s racism. Always has been.

No, politicians make shit up to cover the fact what they really want are cops that obey them regardless of the law. Because they know if cops enforced the law equally, they’d be arrested for corruption.

Oh my sweet summer child… You think they’re going to give up power at this point? That is not what fascists do.

There’s only one solution to fascists, and it can happen naturally after 50+ years, or the 1940’s method.

Few groups hate “illegals” more than immigrants. They did it the “hard way” so it shouldn’t be easy for anyone else.

There should be a progressive tax on anyone that owns a home but doesn’t live there. First home is nominal tax. Second home is double that. Third is quadruple. That’d fix housing and rent prices overnight.

And before anyone asks, yes same with apartment complexes. If the owner is forced to live in the complex, there’s an excellent incentive to keep it clean and maintained. And I’m specifically talking people, if a corporation owns a complex the top shareholder needs to be living there.

Other countries don’t have 30 year fixed like we do so there are systems to deal with this. Usually there’s no set repayment timeline, but rate is fixed for some period. Then it goes variable, or you negotiate a new fixed rate for another 5 or 10 years or whatever. The amount you contribute after interest is up to you and determines your payoff time.

“Liberal media”? They’re all owned by billionaires. It’s billionaire media.

Because there’s zero chance a private company will not cut corners and poison the surrounding area for a few million years.

This IS Christianity. Hypocrisy, corruption, and shallow virtue signaling have defined the religion since it became dominant in ancient Rome.

It’s more the evangelicals, not the puritans. Evangelizing / forcing their beliefs onto others with no regard to other’s wishes is a core evangelical belief.

Returns are not a right, no retailer is required to accept them. Most do it for a better shopping experience, people are more likely to spend if they know they can return.

You are protected from defective or dangerous products, but that’s through the manufacturer’s warranty. You are also protected from products that do not work as advertised. I think that’s a law in most countries.

But returns for other reasons like bad clothing fits or you just don’t like it are not legally protected for the most part. There are some exceptions but they’re specific.

So to say restocking fees are greedy is silly.

Business tech Bros would absolutely love to force all open source closed, all long as it’s now their property.
