Yeah! Thank goodness for that magical gas appearance! And there’s never any rare earth metals used in those pesky computers on cars these days! Nobody has touch screens or anything! It’s all switches and dials like we used to have in the 70s!
Right? ….right?
Called it way above in the comments didn’t I? I must have ESPN or something.
So just so we’re clear; if there’s published scientific data around it: it’s a conspiracy of scientific censorship because of the “climate narrative”, but if it’s unproven opinion narrative that works for the oil companies profits that happen to be huge public policy lobbying forces; it’s definitely the truth. Because obscure scary reasons, “not many people know this” Got it.
Help your fellow canucks out and tell us who’s doing this! I’m happy to save myself some sanity and not attend the weekly superstore circus.
I’m going to guess “all the precious metals in manufacturing of the EV are so much worse than my gas cars!” Nonsense that the oil industry has been shilling online with bots for years to slow adoption of EVs among specific demographics.
Even though this myth has been debunked a hundred times, by folks like MIT, and in Reuters they showed if you live in an area that’s exclusively renewable power like I do, then I actually broke even 4ish years ago; within 3 months of owning my EV.

But hey, I’m sure that propaganda of “just buy a gas car! It’s better for the environment” will make sense eventually once they figure out how to ignore more science.
Just a small database patch, don’t mind spez doing some deleteItem calls.
Seems like a patent troll…
All three of the Touchstream patents in question are titled "Play control of content on a display device" and detail "a system for presenting and controlling content on a display device" that uses "a network, a server system coupled to the network and comprising one or more servers, a display device coupled to the network and having a display, and a personal computing device operable to transmit a first message according to a specified format over the network to the server system."
Play control of content on a device. So…remotes violate this patent? Cmon.
Thanks for this. I’m obviously an idiot! Missed that it reloaded the page with an extra field.
Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m here for it. Nostalgia from the old days of irc.
2023 and we’re still making clubbing baby seal jokes on the internet. I love the world.
/u/maxwellhill on Reddit was suspected but never proven to be Ghislaine Maxwell, they went dark the same time as the arrests etc. they were a power mod across some huge subreddits like worldnews, travel, badcopnodonut, etc.
It’s a bit of a conspiracy theory in my opinion and fellow mods have dismissed it claiming they’ve seen/spoken to maxwellhill and but who knows, this type of thing takes off on Reddit, ala the Boston Bomber thing leading to that poor kids death. I take this stuff with a grain of salt.
Transylvania. Obviously.
And I mean; can we just not ignore hydro at all and point out that if you own an EV in most of Canada you have broken even after your first year of driving then? Because we don’t get a choice to use “clean beautiful coal” like the trump folks want! We only get that dirty hydro!
So. Yeah. I’m happy with my EV. I bought it because gas prices are completely outrageous in British Columbia (2 a litre or 8 a gallon for the U.S. folks) I honestly didn’t think I was helping the environment so much as helping my wallet. Turns out it does both. Cool with me.
