It’s an area of 168,500 sq mi.

A patriot battery can cover 300 sq mi.

Marine drones. Basically remote control exploding speed boats, some with rockets on them. They basically attack like hyaenas bringing down a zebra.

In other news. A factory fire in Hull, England received nothing more than local news coverage this week. Their product? Hand sanitizer. Turns out that 99% alcohol is really flamible.

I wonder why there’s such a huge disparity in news coverage between these two stories. I guess it’s because the building was evacuated successfully, right?

How much of this is climate change and how much is agriculture? Could better agriculture techniques help? Or not needing Iran to be wholly self-sufficient because of sanctions?

…because they are going to a 6 day work week.

Is that when the Country leaves the EU or the people leave the country?

Voters may want social care to be on the ballot at the UK general election, but no one seems to be listening.

Yes they are. You just need to be talking to a Liberal Democrat. It’s part of the manifesto.

Israel clothes itself in the garments of the Jewish people and uses them to defend it’s actions. It claims that any action against it is an action against the Jewish people.

Now I know that there are Jewish people around the world saying “not in my name”, but it’s also why so many supporters of Israel exist. You can’t divorce the religious aspect from this war. If it wasn’t there this wouldn’t be allowed to happen.

I object to the British label.

Prakash Hinduja is Indian born Swiss. His brother S.P Hinduja was Indian born British and the billionaire head on the Hinduja company until his death last year. The company itself is Indian, so the British connection died last year and was somebody not involved in the case. This was a Swiss trial of a swiss family.

Plus… Let’s face it. People with this level of money choose their nationality based on financial or business reasons. Wherever gives them the best tax break.

…the Swedish lithium-ion battery maker couldn’t deliver on time on a long-term supply contract for battery cells agreed with BMW in 2020.

Korea’s Samsung SDI will step in to fill the gap created at BMW by the cancellation.

So, before anyone uses this as fodder for the “EV sales are dropping narrative”, this is a case of company A not delivering on time, so company B is used instead because BMW can’t wait.

None, but that’s also true in the other direction and those people are now more resolute.

They are safe on the space station. They have all the time they need to sort it out. They can even wait for another craft to arrive.

False choice. Those aren’t the only options. We’re in a election season. Get out there and help convince the public to vote for people who will actually make a difference.

Making noise and demanding things is what children do.

So it didn’t work as a form of protest. Don’t give your opponent such an easy win.

It’s not what it takes. It turns people against the cause.

I don’t particularly think they are going low. However:

• Tesla has been artificially holding resale prices high for a long time. They could only do this when there was very little competition in the second hand market.
• The initial price for EVe is too high. All the manufacturers are trying to recoup R&D costs on one or two models. The cars aren’t worth the initial price and the second hand market corrects for this.
• We’ve been through a period of scarcity due to the supply chain getting screwed during CoVid, so demand couldn’t keep up with supply. Supply is far bigger now. Shortages are largely over and there are far more brands in the market.

What I’m saying is that it isn’t the second hand price being low. It’s that it used to be high for various reasons and the market is correcting. Cue people getting caught out because they didn’t see it coming, and getting vocal about it.

Battery prices are now close to $100 per kWh and are predicted to keep dropping.

That’s $7k for the 60-70kWh battery we see in lots of cars. That’s offset against an engine that has multiple hundreds of moving parts, also worth several thousand.

No. It’s all about politics and “non-escallaction”.

The US doesn’t want to be seen as fighting this war.

US Vs Russia is a war nobody wants. Unlimited fire power would be easily framed as the US being an active participant.

Then at home Biden has an isolationist opponent framing him as a war-monger.

Everything is contaminated with micro plastics.

Got it! Understood.

1. What damage is it doing in these places?
2. How do we mitigate that damage?

That’s what papers should be focusing on at this point IMHO.

It was the weather. Not inflation or the mismanagement of the economy. Definitely the weather.
