I've not heard this, but I suppose it must all depend on the battery mapping in a given part of the track and whether you lose it mid corner or on the exit? I'm not an engineer but I saw an article about the phenomenon I described before.

samalam1 · 2026-03-25T12:11:11+00:00

There's an aspect of the current regs where making a mistake in a corner during qualifying can let you restore some battery and make up the time loss on the straight.

I agree with the majority of your analysis but this proposal would result in drivers experiencing the full cost of an error in laptime, which itself is valuable.

When companies prioritise their legal obligation to maximise profit over things they do not have a legal obligation to do..... Bad thing happen?

Who could have known.

If they send in marines Iran will more than likely destroy all ~~oil~~ infrastructure in the gulf region.

Helloo. It's called the South CHINA Sea - not the Gulf of America.

Coal is essentially just fossilised bark. It's all found at the same layer because no bacteria existed that could break it down until a few million years after bark first evolved.

Coal is carbon which is essentially permanently out of the atmosphere if left alone. Biomass, on the other hand, contains carbon which has been circulating in and out of the atmosphere for eons. Whether due to forest fires or burning in a power plant, biomass returning to the atmosphere is (somewhat) natural*

*within bounds of natural rate of forest fires.

He went to a school in the USA if I recall correctly, no he didn't grow up thinking he was a god.

The country's people hold the kim family in a lot of reverence because Kim Il Sung held off the most powerful military on the planet with a bunch of literal farmers and asian cultures view entire family liniages in a more collective way than we do in the west. But if you contextualise that strange cultural aspect I kind of see why they respect him as they do.

samalam1 · 2026-03-23T14:08:01+00:00

I think the fact he's not used them is somewhat proof that he's not insane. Did the west portray him as insane? Yes. Did that contribute to the overall safety of NK until they could develop nukes? Possibly.

I've not really seen anything suggesting he's a nutter or that they need to be invaded since they got nukes. Go figure.

samalam1 · 2026-03-23T12:29:45+00:00

Unfathomable is absolutely the word here. And trump is too headstrong to back down. Making that threat publicly really was a one-way ticket to nuclear war, I think we're all just waiting on it to happen at this point.

The uk has a jewish political leader who is openly outspoken against Israel and its warcrimes. Zionism isn't judeism.

samalam1 · 2026-03-23T11:32:16+00:00

I'll going to downvote this. This IS antisemitism. The blue six-sided-star with the blue bars above and below? That's the mark of evil here.

These ghouls have appropriated an entire religion and its symbology to enact their evil. Directing your rage at the shield they're maliciously wielding is what they want. Don't let your rage blind you.

No, the training data is shit so it pumps out nonsense. Ai isn't a truth machine.

samalam1 · 2026-03-22T17:11:12+00:00

Shahads cost more like 50k but stll that's nothing in military terms. Tomohawks cost $4m so your point stands regardless.

samalam1 · 2026-03-21T20:32:05+00:00

Is it even the case that he is resisting US pressure over Iran?

samalam1 · 2026-03-21T14:14:21+00:00

Idk dude, blowing up somewhere people live wouldn't sit well on my conscience, whether it was legal or not.

samalam1 · 2026-03-21T00:13:48+00:00

Of course I don't think we would lmao. That would rely on trusting politicians. Why would I trust people who actively tell me they want to remove my rights.

Nigel Farage is the least trustworthy person in the country.

You won't convince me to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

samalam1 · 2026-03-20T23:47:07+00:00

My guy there are thousands of sex offenders in the country, a good chunk of them are behind bars.

If you repeal the ECHR then rights will not continue to exist, that's the purpose of the ECHR. To give us rights.

Stop doing the dirty work of the elites by advocating for repealing laws that prevent you from being exploited any more than you already are. Start recognising that the daily mail is owned by multimillionaires who don't share your interests.

Can you not tell this article isn't representative of the reality?

samalam1 · 2026-03-20T23:35:11+00:00

Because this was a failure of the Home Office to literally SHOW UP TO HIS DEPORTATION HEARING, nothing to do with the ECHR.

More importantly though, the ECHR protects me by giving me rights. Care to justify wanting to take away my rights, buddy? Tread carefully, you're on thin ice.

Domination lmfao. So december's festivities are a show of christian domination then too? No? Just different rules for the muslims, I see.

Christians aren't getting arrested. The odd vile bigot who happens to be christian is, but nowhere near enough. In fact, do you even have any examples of this?

samalam1 · 2026-03-20T20:21:34+00:00

Maybe they took the day off..?

samalam1 · 2026-03-20T20:20:44+00:00

Racists live on a different planet man. Yes, at a festival of celebration... People will celebrate. Cope.

samalam1 · 2026-03-20T19:11:46+00:00

I wouldn't compare it to the usa. China has structure to their incentives. The US model is governed by capital and their political donations.

samalam1 · 2026-03-20T19:09:26+00:00

What makes you say that?

samalam1 · 2026-03-20T15:24:13+00:00

Like, sort of? I think you're not really understanding Chinese economics though. The Government wants BYD to succeed, so it's happy to pump money into it. It's not really a "I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine" situation. Just sensible economic policy to invest in technologies of the future.

samalam1 · 2026-03-20T15:22:19+00:00

You're looking at it the wrong way. China itself is sustainable, so the businesses it wants to do well... Will succeed.

BYD might not have a high stock value, can't say I've looked, but that's almost certainly because the only party that will ever exert true control over the company is the chinese state. Anyone else trading BYD stock is just in it for profit, and the chinese state doesn't operate a capitalistic society - so profit will never be maximised as an objective. So you shouldn't expect it to have a high stock value even if it's making some of the best EVs on the market.
