I think they’re saying that since there’s are neutral, focusing on them to fix or climate is a distraction from what we really need to do.

Namely stop putting CO2 into the atmosphere.

We’re still more forest, but it’s going to be hard to get that off the climate is too far gone to safely sustain one, like how so much of Canada is burning at the moment (and does now pretty much every summer).

But ai also lies and hallucinates, so you can’t market it for writing work documents. That could get people fired.

Really though, I wonder if the marketing was already outsourced to the LLM?

Sadly, after working in Advertising for over 10 years, I know how dumb the art directors can be about messaging like this. It why I got out.

Yeah but turning off assists the split second before a crash is a bullshit way to try and claim it wasn’t involved in the crash. Tesla was caught doing that a couple years back.

Quick, make a hundred more spin-offs featuring neither Wolverine nor Deadpool until you’ve milled all possible value from the franchise.

Yeah or else quiver-full/mormon family. Not that there’s really a difference between those and cults.

Sure, for a specific car, but Samsung isn’t making cars, just a battery that could go in a number of different vehicles. So all we’re really able to compare is batteries, not full vehicle efficiency.

If they’re intending to suggest this new battery, when fitted in an existing EV (say a Model Y) would result in a 600 mile range, then it’s interesting, but all other things (drivetrain, drag, vehicle weight) would have to remain constant.

As long as it’s not loose I’m fine with it.

That’s what the lack of plate would suggest.

Maybe it’s been an evolutionary trait all along!

At 45 my knees are hanging in there (even with the cycling and skiing). It’s my ankles that are becoming an occasional problem oddly.

The 87 had manual everything, except oddly electric mirrors and the drivers side was even a heated mirror. But the scirocco was an up market version of the Golf, and built in (West) Germany, were as USDM Golfs and Jettas were made mostly in PA I think.

Yeah, heat stroke would be the bigger danger in that, when it’s 185+ after 5 minutes in direct sun.

My base 87 VW Scirocco had AC. The mid-tier and up German cars, at least for US import, usually had AC from the 80s on.
