It sure would be nice if we lived in a country where policing was actually a civil service and not a damn street gang.

The cases you hear in the media are the ones that provoke outrage.

On a day to day basis the police have hundreds of interactions with the public that aren’t remarkable or noteworthy.

We could have both.

Thats something that a lot of people seem to forget. This fight has been going on in one form or another since the creation of the modern state of Israel. And there is an almost unlimited amount of blood on the hands of both the Israelis and Palestinians. (As well as the colonial countries who set up the borders in the first place)

Want to go farther? Fine! DC fast charging is, in fact, fast

Sure, but those need to exist at the appropriate locations, and be maintained in working order - neither of which is the current reality in a lot of places.

Add to that the lack of availability of affordable EVs and you are going to have the slow adoption we currently see.

.

I was planning to get an EV of some sort the last time my vehicle needed to be replaced, but there were none available at the time that fit my budget and my needs.

I still intend to have one relatively soon, but the practical realities are still an impediment.

As a citizen of one of those “more Northern countries”, that is one of the things that concerns me.

kent_eh , to news in More than a trade war: Trump is targeting Mexico

The good things about his campaign promises is you know it’ll never happen if he gets elected.

Except you don’t really know what he will actually do. Some of it will be even more crazy than this idea.

kent_eh , to news in Barron Trump to step into the political arena as a Florida delegate at the Republican convention

Oh goodie, you did the bare minimum and voted.

Have you involved yourself in actually improving the process?

kent_eh , to news in Barron Trump to step into the political arena as a Florida delegate at the Republican convention

They had intense disagreements about how to build the country, and no single design or designer had enough influence to get exactly what he wanted.

The difference is they were willing to give-and-take to eventually come to a mutually tolerable compromise solution.

Contrast that with today’s “if you are from the other party, I will thwart you even if it is a good idea”

Unable or unwilling?

kent_eh , to news in Transgender activists flood Utah tip line with hoax reports to block bathroom law enforcement

Not only “trans activists”.

It’s also just average people who are frustrated with the stupidity of these kinds of discriminatory laws.

kent_eh , to news in Judge in Trump’s classified documents case cancels May trial date; no new date set

but complicated since most jails don’t have remotely the capacity or security of a real prison and you’ve still got to figure out how to work his Secret Service detail into the picture. And also the protests from his cult if/when that happens.

Which are all things the judge acknowledged in his statement ashen he handed down the most recent contempt ruling.

Like it or not, there’s a lot more considerations to this than simply “lock him up”.

kent_eh , to news in World’s top climate scientists expect global heating to blast past 1.5C target

What’s your point?

Just because someone else is being bad doesn’t obligate us to do nothing about our own contribution to the problem.

.

Pull your weight and set a good example for others.

kent_eh , to news in World’s top climate scientists expect global heating to blast past 1.5C target

It has already started.

kent_eh , to news in Judge’s warning provides dilemma for Trump over whether he will risk jail for a political point

one that he has already prepared his goon squad to riot over

That concern for the safety of the officials who would have to enforce an incarceration order is one of the things the judge specifically referenced in his statement.

kent_eh , to technology in How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money

Also, there will probably be a response in the industry,

I dunno. There have been tool rental places with pro level tools for a very long time, and the tool manufacturers don’t seem to have reacted to stop it.
