Well ya, I got years left still.

But at 8 years it's resale value will be much higher than at 8 years with a 15-20k battery replacement if it dies.

There's a cost/risk to consider there, it just working isn't a financially sound decision on its own

Edit: also by the time 8 years is up,getting a 1 year old car to eat that initial depreciation will be easier.

They did their scam at the wrong time.

Today, you can put together a deep fake video including their voice.

Have the fake alienate the other family members a few times to stop them from continued inquiries

I got an electric vehicle, and I'm worried about the post battery warranty period. Do I keep it after 8 years and hope the battery doesn't go out, or do I say fuck that risk and get another one to drive until it's battery warranty is up too.

GOP: well, we gave it back to Russia, but we still have American citizens there, so we're just going to keep 2 senators to ensure they're represented.

Dems: but we need to get representation for Puerto Rico and DC!

GOP: they've never had it, we're just trying to keep the status quo!

This sounds like a set up for if Trump wins.

Trump: Im the world's savior, I prevented World War 3 with Russia by giving them back their illegally stolen Alaska. No president has ever done anything so great for the world!

Do we even know if there might be reservoirs left? Maybe they are there for a reason.

Boca Chica isn't going to be the main launch center in the future due to things like the wildlife preserve around it. They're going to be restricted at some point. It's a R&D center.

They could also build the solar/wind elsewhere to offset anything, or maybe they could even invest in a SMR. They'll have the cash once those start coming online.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're investing money to optimize the process as well, just like we see new advances in desalination continually making it more efficient. (Edit: e.g https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.35848/1347-4065/ace831)

Also even in Texas, it isn't going to be coal forever, more and more renewable sources are being added to the grid every year. I'm not trying to say this will be an immediate thing.

They'll probably build a solar farm.

But don't get me started on how there no such thing as carbon neutral because it took carbon to build the solar panels, or wind mills, and the person operating the facility had to eat vegetables which required someone to ship them, which required a EV which required power that came from solar but those solar panels which were made from panels produced via solar panels required someone else to clean them which produced co2 making their meals too!

Emissions are going to go down when starship is made as well.

Starship uses a methane + oxygen fuel which burns cleaner, and can be produced with just water and CO2 making it carbon neutral.

I don't think every flight will be neutral immediately, or what % will be consistently once its scaled up, but it'll be better.

But 1 carbon neutral flight sending up hundreds of satellites will bring it down quickly. They could even save the carbon neutral flights for themselves for PR purposes.

I can't remember the exact number but only 5 to 7 need to flip right?

Are there 5 -7 non crazy GOP house members who aren't up for re-election as they are stepping aside/down anyway?

I was initially going to give him the benefit of the doubt on Twitter, but it was either something before (I can't recall), or it was definitely at least when he was spreading the conspiracy about Nancy Pelosi's husband that confirmed it was all bollocks and not to trust anything about the state of twitter or his intentions for it. He lost 100% of any good faith once he did that.

I didn't know it was so hard to intentionally avoid hiding evidence.
