The answer is massive government support. The cost of those stations has to be insane...imagine the inventory holding cost of those batteries

This is not comparable.

The fuel is spent and sold. Gas stations usually only have a few days supply of inventory.

This is like holding engines in inventory to swap without notice on the spot. But in this case the engines cost $10k+.

The fee to swap is about $12...so you have to swap each battery about 800 times to break even. See how you're wrong yet?

Please, for the love of God, VOTE! (pawb.social)

I don't like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...

Do you honestly think Trump would even try to negotiate a ceasefire?

What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

OpenAI wants to raise 5-7 trillion dollars. Yes, Trillion (decrypt.co)

That is not how that works...

Exactly right, no one is going to show up with a fleet of cargo planes full of cash lol. It's a huge amount of money, but if you have several nations investing, plus private business, it could happen - long shot, but it isn't limited by the amount of cash that exists. He's basically talking about starting a massive industry in the US that only exists in Japan and Taiwan.

This was not the Vandals, it was the Visigoths led by Alaric I. The sacking of Rome followed years of rights being stripped away from tribal peoples as a new Cesar transitioned from a period of equality where the tribes enjoyed Roman status, to Emporer Honorius who stripped all that away. This also led to a period of famine and terrible treatment where they were viewed as barbarians, when in fact many left their Pagan ways behind to become Christians.

Alaric I himself was denied a generalship in the regular Roman army, an accomplishment that would have been granted before Horonius.

So, no, comparing this sniveling group of Trump Terds to the Visigoths is wholly inaccurate. It would be more correct to compare it to Native A.erican wars that followed the Trail of Tears, or any of the many atrocities we committed against native peoples.

There is an excellent book called "Alaric the Goth" by Douglas Boin that goes into a great amount of detail into the cultural shift. A big shift was when Honorius stripped freedom of religion away, this served to move Roman society towards Christianity and reinforced the view of the tribes as barbarians.

And correct, actually incorporating non-Romans into the military was a great way for those tribes to attain a stable life after since they enjoyed the same benefits as Roman soldiers for their service. When that was stripped away, they also would be subjected to terrible treatment and often had poor provisions.

Yes, eliminating a revenue source in one area means they will just price for it elsewhere.
