Cool article (heh), thanks for sharing.

Big same

Assuming you’re talking about the US. Legally, maybe. Politically, no.

Immune to market fluctuations. Based on years working and salary so if you worked a long time then retired and lived for a long time you may get more money than if you had a bag of cash in the market. It lasts until you die and your spouse can inherit it so it provides stability for you and your partner for the rest of your lives instead of having to guess how many more years you’re going to live and dividing your savings by number of years left. Removes that stress of outliving your guess and running out of cash.

Cool article, thank you for sharing.

It’s written by Russian propaganda experts for US conservative readers. They know exactly how to speak like someone from the United States. It is their job and they are very, very good at it. Arguably, our discourse is the way it is because of these people.

Wonder what the price on these will be.

Also, should we change the name of this sublemmy from “electric vehicles” to “articles from electrek.com” ?

Car -sized internal combustion engines are wildly inefficient. Car-sized electric motors are wildly efficient.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Y’all motherfuckers never handled a metal other than stainless steel before. Can’t wait to be vindicated when someone tells this dude to clean it with vinegar and see what happens.

So what do you think this is, if not natural patina? Unnatural patina? Olympic person secretly rubbing black stuff on their medal and posting it on Instagram for views? Do you think the Olympic committee intentionally purchased medals plated in something other than brass that would patina faster? Or do you think it’s not brass and some other metal that oxidizes at a faster rate? I think it would take more effort to create a medal that patinas at a faster rate than it would to just create a medal plated in plain old brass or bronze.

Brass left alone in a clean environment will oxidize very slowly, because it’s just in contact with oxygen and electrolytes from the air. Metal oxidizes much faster in certain conditions, such as when it is regularly exposed to large amounts of oxygen and electrolytes, such as those found water and acid. Some examples of things that oxidize metals faster include being in regular contact with body oils, salty sweat, or chemicals like sunscreen or body lotion. Do you think any of these substances may have gotten on a medal being worn by an athlete in the summer for a week?

Go get a piece of brass siding from the hardware store. Don’t put any sealant on it. Wear it around your neck for a week and see what happens to it.

US skateboarder learns about oxidization for the first time.

Downvoters: Google brass patina and tell me what that looks like. Olympic “bronze” medals are made of brass. Brass oxidizes. This is oxidization. It’s not an inferior product or a hallmark of the cheapness if Olympics, it’s a thing that happens to some metals and metal alloys.

OP, what information do you believe this map conveys?

Hail corporate

I had the same thought. The top part is filling up faster than it’s emptying out… At some point it’s going to be too full. Was that point like 100 years ago?

A car with the ability to lock down the interface for children/elderly probably does not exist.

I would check out the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet bolt if those are available.

Dealers are always going to try to talk you out of buying an EV from them. They make their money doing maintenance and oil changes on cars they sell, EVs have no maintenance, so they see them as bad for business. You have to pick out the exact car you want on their lot, write down the VIN number, then go in and tell them that is the car you want to buy. If they try to switch you up just start walking out. Be firm.

Interesting article, thank you for sharing.

A full article about a historic set of armor? Yeah, one super dark picture showing a hint of it is enough. People aren’t going to want to look at the armor suit or the replicas or people wearing the replicas.

Retired neighbors with nothing better to do.
