Hyundai unveils world’s first hydrogen-powered, silent stealth battle tank
  • Not to fet credible, but from a treeline 2km away a properly disguised tank can be pretty stealthy. Same concept of stealth aircraft, yeah if its close you're gonna see it, but if passive and active sensors can pick it up till visual range, well mighty fine way to sneak a platoon of tanks into an otherwise 'observed' area while looking like little more than a couple of civilian vehicles or migrating animals to a radar, or dull spot to thermals.

    Cords
  • Double live is very bad and the cord becomes a literal short. If you're lucky a breaker will flip or fuse burn out. If you're not so lucky you have a cable thats either going to start a fire burning its insulation off and melting itself, or potentially exploding depending on quality and type of cable.

    Cords
  • On the one hand, there are legitimate uses for double ended male cords. On the other, absolutely none of those legit uses invovle christmas lights

    GM & Ford Are Struggling With EVs Again, But Why?
  • Sadly SUV and oversized trucks are all too common here. And universally the worst drivers on the road. Gotta love when a tank stops in the crosswalk and honks at you like you're the asshole for walking infront of them. What I wouldn't give to force all those idiots to trade out for smart cars, the roads around here would be a lot safer.

    GM & Ford Are Struggling With EVs Again, But Why?
  • Also most people who want to drive EVs want to do so as a cost saving measure. ICEs can go for 25K where I haven't see an EV in my local area go for less than 40k.

    I would love an EV but can't find anything in my price range, even used ones that optimistically get 70 miles per charge cost more than what a new ICE would cost. I can't even make a round trip to my parents and back on that.

    Chrystul Kizer Got 11 Years in Prison for Killing Her Abuser. This Is Justice?
  • Nice strawman. Surely race was the only differing factors in these two cases, and it had nothing to do with with the fact that Kizer traveled 40 miles to shoot her abuser after escaping him months ago (that his convinction failing is the real injustice here) and took a plea-deal to avoid a life sentence for premeditated murder, where as Hughes lived with her abuser, was beaten the night of killing, called the cops, watcher her abuser talk the cops down, beat her again, starved her, raped her, threatened her and her children and burned her school books before she killed him and took her children to the police station to turn herself in.

    But yes please insist these two cases are like for like.

    Trump Suddenly Looks Very Afraid of Being Sued by Taylor Swift
  • I don't think this kind of civil suit can result in jailtime. But depending on what strategy her lawyers pursue, they could argue the unauthorized use of her IP resulted in his campaign raising additional money, and thus be legal grounds for them to empty the campaign warchest and take away funds his campaign needs to operate just a few months before the election.

    Trump Suddenly Looks Very Afraid of Being Sued by Taylor Swift
  • Trump about to learn what it looks like when an actual billionaire who hires quality lawyers (and pays them!) takes legal action against someone. For a guy who abused the courts for decades to bully people into doing what he wants, he sure is getting bent over the stand a lot these days.

    Chrystul Kizer Got 11 Years in Prison for Killing Her Abuser. This Is Justice?
  • Normally Im all ACAB fuck the system. But the evidence in the case and facts make this ruling just even if it seems unfair.

    Her abuser was a piece of shit, no denying that. And while the world is probably a better place with him dead, the means by which it was accomplished was illegal.

    If the court had done anything but find her guilty, it just sends a signal to any would be vigilantes that if justice system didn't give you an outcome you wanted quickly as you wanted, then it's okay to take justice into your own hands.

    While I do hope she gets a pardon and those who didn't take her pleas seriously when she tried to report him become subject to thorough investigation and permanently removed from the criminal justice system, we absolutely can not go back to frontier justice of people killing each other because the local sheriff and deputies didn't want to or know how to deal with it.
