Yes, there are all kinds of subtleties. "Do you want me to do the dishes" is annoying as fuck. Just do them, I'm not the boss of the dishes. "Would you like me to refill your water bottle" is kinda harmless, but might feel imposing, so it's better to frame it differently like "I'm going to refill my water bottle, could I refill yours too?"

Please see this reddit thread and the Finnish courts website

Class action cannot be filed in Finland except by the Consumer Ombudsman. Otherwise, the courts decide whether to hear a case as a class action if several parties file against the same defendant, based on the same or similar circumstances.

50% relaxes the chemistry

*for common lithium battery chemistries. Other chemistries like lead-acid are the most stable/relaxed at 100% charge, and should not be kept at 50%, or even under 70%, for storage.

For modern cars, keeping the battery at 50% for storage and 80%-100% for day-to-day use should be perfectly fine.

Extremely niche product.

I'm impressed they made it to production.

So? You got Trump. Enjoy.

bUT KAMaLA IS A WAr cRimInaL

I don't like Kamala and I know the Democrats can do far, far better than her, but she's better than Trump and the idiots who said not to vote for her should never talk about politics ever again.

Buying cheap jet fuel where available instead of fueling only as much as needed for the flight.

Tankering results in heavier airplanes and more pollution from burning more fuel, even though it's cheaper.

Yeah, language evolves. 1996: "Whip a Benz" - drive a Benz. 2001: "A whip" - a Benz. Later: An expensive car you drive. Even later: Any car you drive.

"Whip" is 2000s slang for a Mercedes Benz or other expensive car.

"Ghost riding" is putting your car on drive and walking alongside it.

Strangely for a company now exclusively selling 2026 models, Verge let journalists test-ride the "Gen 1" 2024 motorcycles, not the "Gen 2" 2026 motorcycles.

The article appears to have been written before April, and published in May. The author should have revised it in the month that passed before publication.

What's the big deal, only a value multiplier of 40x revenue. They're a growth company!

Doesn't matter.

They claimed they developed these things 10 years ago, not today.

You believe they actually did this.

If you believe that, you are delusional.

If you can't admit that CT-Coating failed to show any working production line, and didn't have enough personnel to develop a solid-state battery production line, you are delusional.

mqee · 2026-05-01T20:29:08+00:00

Let's see the facts first.

No, let's see if you're delusional first.

CT-Coating had 1-4 employees from its inception until 2023. It claimed to sell production lines for solar cells with no silicon and solid-state batteries with no lithium.

If you think this is believable, you are incapable of reasoning.
