But now you’ve introduced a fourth person, Burt, distinct from Bert, which has made for a somewhat confusing orgy.

A whisper quiet plane will be very disconcerting for most passengers

Are you kidding? Quieter transport sounds like a blissful improvement to me.

Why is it 30% hood, 40% cab, and 30% bed? That seems oddly proportioned…

even a shoe store

If one did not own a pair of shoes, this seems like it would present a bit of a “chicken or egg” problem…

TIL that buying and selling BYD debt is a thing.

You start posting.

Yet.

Have lemmy.zip defederated from feddit.uk as well? If not, why not? Is there a legal difference?

pretty hands-off

Given that the single admin @[email protected] hasn’t been active in two years, yeah, I’d say that counts as “pretty hands-off”. The SDF organization as a whole will probably be around for decades to come, but they don’t seem to care that much about their Lemmy instance.

Whoops, I’m still somewhat inexperienced with Matrix. Either your invite wasn’t there earlier, or I just didn’t see it! >.<

communicative about issues

Aren’t most admins this way?

*glances at your instance name*

Ah…

only works for communities that are already subscribed from a piefed user, and I don’t believe the lemmy-federate bot works here

What would it take to create a “piefederate” bot?

NCD = [email protected], for those who are out of the loop.

Reminder :)

Wow, is this the first vehicle on the market to exceed 1,000 km (1 Mm) range?

During this time, the truck has covered around 22,000 kilometers and typically traveled the approximately 250-kilometer route on electric power charged from renewable electricity via the grid.

Sounds like they were! Though if it was from “the grid”, it may have been a mix of sources.

1 in 4

25%. I wonder how far off 50% is.

2 years? 5 years? 10 years?

Sounds like this could enable electrification of long-haul trucking applications.

break ware

brake wear?

GM, one of the biggest sellers of EVs in the U.S., is encouraging employees to use scripted talking points to lobby Senators. The goal is to nullify a 2022 California measure that would ban the sale of new gasoline-powered cars and trucks by 2035, a mandate that has since been adopted by 11 other states. The Senate could vote as early as next week to revoke a waiver that allows California to set its own stricter tailpipe-emissions standards.

This seems… undesirable.

Rep. Laura Gillen, a Democrat from New York, one of the states to adopt the mandate, said she supports the goal of reducing emissions but that the timeline is “out-of-touch with reality” and an undue burden on consumers facing a cost-of-living crisis.

“If everybody in my district went out and got an EV, the grid could not accommodate that,” Gillen said.

How is this relevant? Is she implying that no upgrades to the grid will be made between now and 2035?
