Since the Invasion of Crimea, NATO has been placing troops near its boarders with Russia, especially in the Baltics.
There should be a penalty for prosecutors who torture people to force them to make false confessions.
I think you mean police? Prosecutors generally don't question the accused, except maybe in a trial.
That's pretty standard for the BBC. They know where most of their audiences are, so they rarely mention the local currency.
Nothing stops you from doing both (except limits on your time). I like this one because I feel like I'm learning geography!
For each count of not paying the helper's salary no later than seven days after it was due, Wu could have been jailed for up to a year, fined up to S$10,000, or both.
Instead she received no jail time and one S$10,000 fine when there were dozens of counts.
I actually do think EV range will come down in price faster than inflation, and probably at a pretty significant rate too. I just think the the $15K, 350mi EV is unlikely to ever exist because:
- The other basic components of a car have a cost, and that's increasing because of inflation, but also increased safety standards and the additional "standard" options the industry pushes. I think the price of a car before the drive-train is getting pretty close to that $15K.
- Bigger battery packs have less range efficiency because they have to haul around the rest of the battery. People keep pointing out the BYD Dolphin is sold in China for the equivalent of <$15K, but the base range is 187mi, meaning a 350mi range would need significantly more than double the batteries.
- I expect (or at least hope) that range will become less of an issue as charging gets better and more ubiquitous, and owners get used to charging at home. I know some people actually do need 350mi+ range, but I think that's pretty rare so high range cars won't have the economies of scale that cheap, mainstream goods get.
There used to be a podcast, and it was great! Unfortunately, the last episode they released was in 2018.
If we were to follow what was proposed in NYC, the funds from the congestion fees would be used to fund more public transit.
I agree a bit more a direct comparison would be helpful. And you're right, that besides height (which is a HUGE issue), their dimensions haven't change much outside of safety norms.
The main problem (besides that height) is what's being sold has changed drastically. In the 90's, a regular cab was the default, now it's special order or not even offered. A 2024 Ranger has way more power and can tow more than a 1995 F-150, yet so many people still get a F-150 to just tow the family trailer, if that.
But they what? With few new small cars being built, the supply is dwindling, even in the used market.
