Plus a month or more before taking the “oath” of office.

I’m guessing the stock price should be a lot more like $24.08. Because the only things of value that Tesla will end up having made is some battery factories and a charging network.

These trucks and all the non battery/motor parts of their cars are pretty crap.

The pittance level fines are the only “consequence”.

While the ACA is better than before, I wonder if 20,000 lives is even half what we’d have saved if we had real universal healthcare.

We certainly wouldn’t have increasingly record insurance, hospital, and pharmacy profits (which are all the same vertical orgs anyway).

NH had a Dick Swett too.

Dick Armey is still a more disturbing image though.

That’s not how they do it!

They start babbling about woke agendas and pedos while making viewers scared of brown people coming over the border to terrorize you.

Sure, but 3D printings greatest advancements have been opening up new engineering possibilities, not replacing old refined and efficient ones.

3D printed complex structures for cooling systems, or molecular structures are things we couldn’t do before. Or printing small batches of rare parts or prototypes that would otherwise require injection mold design and fabrication are great advancements.

We don’t have any problems building houses fast. It’s all financial (capitalistic) and social problems that are making home ownership hard right now.

How many people actually want curved walls though?

You need curved couches, shelves, cabinets, windows and picture frames then too.

Geodesic domes housing is even faster to build, but it turns out not very many people like living in circular (or spherical) houses.

Better hope his smoldering jacket doesn’t ignite the sewer gas.

Always has been.

There are really charging curves that should be followed to avoid damaging the cells.

You want to charge up to a certain voltage at a current (related to the battery capacity I believe) and when the cutoff voltage is hit, you switch to constant voltage (the max voltage of the cell) and then slowly drop the amperage as the battery is topped off.

I’m not sure about your cells, but some LiFe are 95-98% full at 3.45-3.5 volts, but the problem is that the voltage curve is really flat from 40-50% charged up to 95%. So you need really accurate measurement if you want to charge to 95%. The last 3-5% is when the battery ramps up to 3.65v and really is the riskiest part of the charge. It’s also the highest wear part of the battery use, if you can avoid charging it all the way up to that your cells will last much longer.

Decent video explaining charge/discharge here, though he’s using big LiFe prismatic cells.

All while using a stolen credit card (fraudulent loans) to buy it.
