We aren’t consuming batteries anywhere near the rate we consume oil and coal. Hydrogen even less than batteries.

So the amount of ships needed would still be a fraction of what we use now.

Agreed

Ever seen a discussion about men complaining that they are assumed to be a threat just for being male get derailed by comments that it isn’t a problem worth complaining about compared to women’s issues?

No I haven’t ever seen that. But that would be an example of whataboutism so pretty shitty thing to say.

Or when the topic of how sexual abuse of boys is extremely common gets derailed as not really being an issue and dismissed by crime stats that often exclude non-penatrating sexual assaults?

No I haven’t ever seen thing either but again that is dismissive and a terrible way to invalidate a legitimate problem.

Yes it sucks when whataboutism is used to dismiss complaints, but it is also frustrating that the same whataboutism is used to silence discussion that is about the issues that men face.

So you feel whataboutism/dismissive responses are only used against men? Or do you agree that that is not a good way to respond to legitimate issues regardless of gender?

Both scenarios are possible and it is shitty to use whataboutism in both scenarios.

Whenever I do see the opposite and when the guy interjects all that’s said is “there’s a time and a place to talk about men’s issues” but like when is it then?

When it’s not being used as a whataboutism.

All this talk to brag they’re gonna match the “price structure” (whatever that means) of a vehicle that starts at $53,400 by 2027.

What a joke.

During the pandemic they had to choose between go remote or close up shop. They didn’t have much choice.

Seems that once Covid stabilized they’ve been trying to force everyone back.

That’s nice but it doesn’t change the facts:

The software that you are stating “gets bloated” is in all vehicles, not just EVs.

Combistion vehicles have more inputs and outputs to incorporate in the bloated software than EVs.

Right, the centralized control systems that get bloated with software are not unique to EVs. Like I said. And those centralized control systems have more inputs and outputs to interact with on an ICE than on an EV because an ICE has more components.

I’m not a hobbyist. I was a master automotive mechanic for over 20 years and I am now a software developer. I feel the need to say this because you are restating the same points I already address in a more verbose way as if you are hoping to make it sound too complicated for the average person to refute.

Right but both EVs and ICE vehicles have infotainment systems. ICE vehicles have more components that require software in addition to that.

ICE vehicles have more software because they have more components. They have a transmission control module and an engine control module both of which have a lot of sensors to read and outputs to control. Much more than a simple EV would have.

Have you verified the specs on OPs headphones?

Maybe I missed it but I don’t see where OP said this happened while connected to a phone.

High resistance in a wire inside the sheath would generate more heat at that point, causing the plastic sheath to melt/bubble. So if the wire inside the sheath got damaged, pinched or some of the strands of wire were broken.
