I don't know about your car, but one problem with my car (Kia Sportage) is that using the heater will always require gas.

I get 34 electric miles on a full charge and mostly have short trips with no gas miles. But of course even on trips longer than 34 miles, I only use gas for miles above that amount. Last time I filled my fuel tank was after a long trip late March. I still have over 1/2 of a tank left.

I am envying that.

There is a very serious rot in the USA. It’s the kind of rot that says empathy is a sin and that kindness is weakness.

It's really just old fashioned decadence and depravity fueled by wealth inequality. Billionaire elites spend billions on GOP propaganda network to con people into unintentially giving them gigantic GOP tax cuts.

The only approval rating that matter are the House and Senate.

This is a good time to point out that the 2 seat GOP majority in the House was stolen. 16 GOP seats are from gerrymandering. An actually representative congress would have a 14 seat Dem majority.

And Texas is going to increase the 16 stolen gerrymandring seats to 21 stolen GOP seats because they don't think that 16 stolen seats will be enough in the next election.

Why would you have any range anxiety? A plug in hybrid eliminates that.

[–] btaf45@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I got a Kia plug in hybrid for less than 50k. Most of my miles are electric but I also don't have any range problems.

We have a pedophile in chief.

Yep. It's very sad.

Russia intelligence services have been producing conspiracy theory propaganda from even before the Communist era. Adolf Hitler was radicalized in 1909 to hate Jews by "The protocols of the Elders of Zion". That's right, he killed 6 million Jews because he bought into Russian bullshit.

It's time to start reminding people of this stuff.

[LOS ANGELES — A woman has filed federal lawsuits accusing Donald Trump of raping her two decades ago, when she was 13...“I loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop, but he did not,” Jane Doe wrote in a formal declaration accompanying her recent suits. “Defendant Trump responded to my pleas by violently striking me in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted. ... Immediately following this rape, Defendant Trump threatened me that, were I ever to reveal any of the details of Defendant Trump’s sexual and physical abuse of me, my family and I would be physically harmed if not killed.”]

MAGA is really MANG

Making America Not Great

 

Arthur Sahakyan has declared he will continue to support Donald Trump and display signs supporting the president despite his wife being taken away from their home and children by ICE

A staunch MAGA supporter has defended Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, despite his own wife being torn away from their home and children by ICE agents.

The dad of four said his wife was born in Iran and came to the US as a refugee when she was just three years old. However, her green card was revoked around 15 years ago due to a theft conviction.

Arthur said it was for "misdemeanor stuff," but they've been going through the legal process to attempt to regain her citizenship ever since. "She just went in [for an immigration check-in] in April," Arthur recalled. "They said you're fine. Have a good day. See you back in September or October."

 

More than half of Americans reported receiving at least one scam call per day in 2024. To combat the rise of sophisticated conversational scams that deceive victims over the course of a phone call, we introduced Scam Detection late last year to U.S.-based English-speaking Phone by Google public beta users on Pixel phones.

We use AI models processed on-device to analyze conversations in real-time and warn users of potential scams. If a caller, for example, tries to get you to provide payment via gift cards to complete a delivery, Scam Detection will alert you through audio and haptic notifications and display a warning on your phone that the call may be a scam.

 

More states join lawsuit against North Texas-based RealPage, accused of artificially inflating housing costs

Data from the White House Council of Economic Advisors released last year showed the use of RealPage's algorithm added about $132 to monthly rent in 2023.

Washington State joined with more than a dozen states, accusing landlords of colluding to inflate rents through price-fixing, Washington's Attorney General Nick Brown said last month.
