You’d think that the customs rule would be an aggregate value from one shipper, and that it couldn’t be circumvented by dicing them up into smaller parcels.
Temu is selling direct what you’ll find at a dozen other retailers sold for some 10-100x markup. These products are all coming from the same factories and warehouses, just labeled with different brands.
Notice Musk has never even been up in a SpaceX rocket, even for PR purposes like Bezos does. He’s probably too cowardly to do that, let alone go to Mars.
Thank god because I live in AZ and felt bad they had no AC. I even had one break down on the street as the engine overheated the driver didn’t know what to do. But it sucks the driver was worried about making deliveries on time. I told the driver not to drive that car cause it’s not safe
Ooo this will be interesting. This might completely ruin Temu. I’ve used it a few times to get real cheap stuff that doesn’t need to be high quality (bulk craft supplies for my kids, various organizers, little accessories like phone cases, and super cheap baking supplies).
Will be interesting to see the public reaction from this.
The first batch is possibly arriving in one city. (Pics or it didn’t happen, of course. AP delivers!) Well, that’s nice… at least they actually exist?! (That’s a bit of a low bar.) But congrats to the first drivers of these little ducks.
I’m worried it’s going to take another decade or three for the trucks to actually arrive in the numbers needed. Hopefully the USPS can survive our deplorable politics until then. They are invaluable for small businesses and keeping all mail couriers competitive.
A Bain spokesman said that Enhance Health upholds the highest standards of compliance and that it is collaborating with state and federal agencies to enforce advertising consumer-safety guidelines.
The same Bain of Dollar General and Mitt Romney? Preying on poor people *and taxpayers?! Nooo! /s
Time to pay the piper. It's funny/sad how lying to usurp democracy has few consequences but defaming a corporation and hurting their profits gets the book thrown at them.
Yep, the Tesla Semi has been in limited production, and in use as a hauler. It’s got up to a 500 mile range on its massive battery bank (with real world loads clocking at least 375) and it way outperforms diesel in the performance category.
Of course, you still have to charge it, so that bit has to be sorted out first before long haul is viable with these.
I am indian, i don’t like my culture or my people because they are corrupt and not self critical and they (both castists and muslims) generalize others alot, but thank you anyone who speaks out for us.
Remember that non electric cars are still dangerous too. Just think about how often you see a wreck that has cops, firetrucks, and cops all around it. That isn’t going to make the same level of national attention as an electric car burning would get.
There are a lot of reasons WHY news agencies disproportunatly show the downsides of green energy, and I’m hardly scratching the surface, but here’s my personal reasoning:
News sites like to over dramatize green energy dangers as they are funded by fossil fuel companies (ads). Theres a large amount of disinformation that they misleadingly tell people, take for example birds running Into windmills is something a LARGE amount of people know and think is an issue. However, statistically fossil fuels cause ~50x (iirc) more bird deaths per unit of energy than windmills due to birds being an apex preditor. Another example is that nuclear waste is a big issue that will prevent nuclear energy from becoming superior when that issue was solved several decades ago.
Yes, elon sucks and some of his practices should be banned, but it’s still green energy and you can’t let it distract you from the benefits of all electric vehicles.

Electric cars are not “green energy” - that’s utter bullshit.
the energy consumption of electric cars is about as clean as the power plant that produced said energy - if that happens to be a fossil fuel plant, it’s dirty as fuck, just with the pollution in a different location from where the car is driving If you have renewable energy, then yes, they can be cleaner, but:
we don’t have enough (mineable) rare earths to replace even a sizeable fraction of the world’s car market with electric vehicles
I went through “Bedrijfshulpverlening” (Dutch, if you want to run it through translate just in case I mess up the correct translation). I guess it’s business first responder or something.
When we were attending the fire training part and we were teached about fires, someone asked “what if there is a car fire”. They said: “starting petrol car fires can be extinguished with a portable extinguisher if you are lucky. But electric car fires, leave them alone. They seal the cars in special water-filled containers and leave them alone for two weeks. There are reports that even after the two weeks, when the car was retrieved from the water, the fire started again on it’s own. Firefighters really hate electric vehicles”.
“alright, is everyone here? this is an all-hands meeting. Where is Joey? Is he in the bathroom again? He’s missed the last 3 meetings… Anyway. Top of the agenda, there’s apparently a fire, right over there. Fires are kinda hot and so we have been sure to stay a good distance away, as to not raise the temperature of everyone’s complimentary bottled water, handed out at this meeting.
Now it says here that we should tackle this situation as quickly as possible. Has anyone run the numbers by the finance team? We don’t want to spend too much on this. The big-wigs upstairs never think about the big picture, and really I don’t see why one fire is worth pivoting all our available resources. Samantha, yes?”
“Sir, the fire is growing at an alarming rate, shouldn’t we just postpone the meeting and focus on the fire?”
“See, that’s exactly the kind of thinking the execs have. But if we spend all our resources, cuts will be made, and jobs will be lost. Not mine, of course, but others. Did anyone do a PR analysis on us ‘putting out this fire’ versus just running a week-long ‘we are sorry’ ad campaign?”
Lithium isn’t just a metal it’s a metal that has a rapid exothermic reaction with water. Or at least that’s what I remember my high school Chem teacher saying.
I’m so disheartened that Hulk Hogan has been a douche this whole time. As a kid, he was a super energetic friendly dude. I’m sure he is friendly in person, but his beliefs don’t align with the persona that I had in mind.
