About another cultish move…

For some reason a group of Christians thought yesterday would be the rapture.

Yeah. How'd that work out for you? Buyers remorse much?

Climate change results in rare hybrid bird between green jay and blue jay: Study

How intriguing! Another example of adaptation happening before our eyes, and it is an evolutionary step. 

(Suck it people who don't believe in science) 

Watch "BOMBSHELL CLAIM: TRUMP DID NOT WIN 2024, ELECTION MANIPULATED" on YouTube

Well this aligns with some of my thinking. As I've noted before, it seems unlikely T-rump won every swing state, and look!, he also won heavily democratic districts by wide margins. 

And the answer to "how" may very well be that discovery in his 2020 election fraud lawsuits helped find the weaknesses in the systems.

Stellantis Is Working on a Battery That Will Be More Efficient

The innovation here is that they have removed some of the mechanical charging components from the system. In current cars you need a power inverter and a means to distribute the power to each battery. 

Stellantis engineers have found a way to directly charge without the need for either part, and control more of the system through software. 

It's a nice evolutionary leap that should spur other innovations. 

The effect on the cars weight is under 100 pounds, and the mileage gain is around 2 extra miles of driving. So it's not really about that. It is about rethinking batteries. 

We really are this stupid

The man whose brain is controlled by a worm told us that he would get to the bottom of what causes autism! There had to be *a* reason for it. 

And last week, he did. RFK published some bullshit findings that the reason for it is use of Tylenol by pregnant women. 

There is nothing to back this up. Just trust him! He knows best. 

And meanwhile the science says something else entirely (ie that there is no specific link to any one thing, drug or otherwise). 

But science can suck it. He knows what's best. And then the orange menace repeated the claim as fact. So here we are. 

The makers of Tylenol are not feeling it since this has a direct impact on their business. 

And how long until aggrieved parents who have children that are autistic sue the manufacturer? And in today's climate, who knows, maybe they could win. 

I wonder what axe RFK and T-rump have to grind against Tylenol….

Elon Musk Says We'll All Have 'Best' Medical Care, Food, Housing and 'Everything Else' And A Universal 'High' Income When Robots Take Over By 2030

There have been stories about Musks drug use.  I think this may be one of them.

Dude.  In under 5 years, we'll all be unemployed and robots will do * everything * yet we'll have universal income?!

Is this a Wall-E joke?

EV range extender

On the surface, this seems trivial. A guy wanted to be able to buy a Tesla range extender, which Tesla teased at some point, but never delivered. 

[an EV has a battery pack that holds a charge, and allows for a "range" (ie, some number of miles that can be driven) based on the general characteristics of the car, climate conditions, speed of travel, etc. Like a gas powered engine, which needs to refuel when your tank is empty, an
EV needs to recharge when that battery is exhausted. A range extender would allow for you to go longer distances. It's like an extra battery pack - or in gas parlance, an extra fuel tank]

Since he still wanted one, he built it himself for $11,000, and can travel an additional 100 miles by using it. It's not integrated, so he has to stop and plug it in to his car. 

As many pointed out, it's more efficient to simply go to a supercharger than to plug in this device. 

But that's not really the point. This is about innovation and learning. He sees how (theoretically) it could be integrated. He also sees that he's had no change in the range he was getting, even though this device is fairly heavy and always in his car. 

And he's stirred some creative thinking on the part of others. So there's potential for future growth of innovation.
