Sheeiit I absolutely loved the first one, even only having played it for the first time last year. I was blown away at how well it holds up. I do recommend trying it if you have even a morsel of interest. Just my personal 2 cents tho.

Great question.

That is definitely one of the big caveats of BEVs over diesels. A battery on an EV can only take in so much energy. Once you hit that ceiling, the battery won’t take in any more current. Fun fact, having a super charged battery in a BEV causes all sorts of headache and can cost you performance.

You either have to switch back to service brakes or, as you mentioned, burn off energy as heat. Not sure how they’re doing it with this truck, but on other BEV loaders which I’ve worked on, we add a hydraulic valve whose only purpose is to create flow, pressure, and subsequently heat. It basically just adds a dummy load. I suspect they tapped into the dump hydraulics and added such a valve for this truck.

Any sources that aren’t The Jerusalem Post - whose source in the article isn’t “Israeli Media”? Cannot find any other sources that match this ‘30 Truck’ number.

If you’re considering building your own firewall, you’ve started down a long path of homelabbing. I’d encourage you to start with a proper setup and allow yourself plenty of room to grow. You want your setup to be extensible, and the firewall is just the beginning.

I’d grab at least a 15U rack and a Dell poweredge R210. Throw in a gigabit nic and install OPNsense. You’ll have room for your switches, NAS, UPS, etc… later.

nobody tried to sneak in front the west

If you did the slightest bit of reading about this topic, you’d understand this statement is patently false.

Between the beginning of 1951 and mid-1955, about 1.5 million persons migrated from East Germany to West Germany. During the same period, about 300,000 persons went from West Germany to East Germany.

The entirety of east german leadership… to name one of many.

Which is accurate considering west germany was full of nazis in leadership positions.

Notice the inflection point where Mao comes in.

Remind me how they stopped Hitler.

Where did you learn this galaxy-brained level state craft?

Sure, the US has an advantage in raw number of immigrants versus China. No one is arguing that.

My point is that touting “our melting-pot-loving leaders” versus “their Han-supremacist demagogues” at the height of your unprecedented devolution into fascism isn’t quite the own you think it is.

Was there supposed to be some argument or statement attached to this source, or…?

Have you… have you seen how Americans have been talking about the border? Especially this election cycle? I don’t know if would characterize either party’s constituencies as “receptive”.

Still waiting

Humans don’t necessarily become afraid of large bodies of water while infected with rabies.

Rabies takes away your ability to drink water and swallow, and attempting to drink feels like you’re choking. I think this leads some patients to have an aversion to water despite being dangerously thirsty. They try to drink the water best they can, but they just choke on it.

Also a great example of how fact checking fascists is completely ineffective. Platforming a fascist via a debate does nothing other than legitimize their viewpoints.

The International Monetary Fund predicts that Russia will record economic growth of 3.2% this year. Caveats aside, that’s still more than in any of the world’s advanced economies.

Not trying to add FUD, but have there ever been cases of Spotify banning people for using their paid license to run homebrew versions of Spotify?

So honest question, with Zelenskiy himself saying that they are critically low on artillery, artillery shells, and armored vehicles, what strategic advantage is afforded by the long range missiles that have been in the news so much lately? What benefit does striking some random target hundreds of miles within Russia accomplish for Ukraine, who is slowly losing the ability to hold ground?

The Nazies are currently taking over and implementing Project 2025.
