Dont know which part makes people so angry

It’s the obviously pointlessness, mostly. Cruelty for cruelty’s sake, while the aggressor insists they’re liberating you with their aerial massacre.

Are you claiming im trying to justify the war by pointing out Irans catasrophic water situation?

You are echoing some of the rationale expressed by the Trump Admin when the bombing began.

Having battery electric trains run on a partially electrified network has proven to work fairly well.

You still run into the old rocket problem - needing more fuel to move more fuel - but it’s definitely less of a problem than with fully unelectrified rail.

I want hydrogen power to work, but I have yet to see anything that has reasonable promise

I’ve seen much more success with synthetic gasoline and kerosene, from a safety and reliability perspective.

But it’s more expensive than simple battery electricity per W, so… We get cheap and dangerous, instead.

Iran was ignoring its peoples need for water

Deeply revealing when you see this line used after an airstrike. It really calls into question every other instance in which the US has claimed an enemy government is “ignoring its people”

we dont even know what the US’s goal is in this war

Currently, it’s to Open the Straight of Hormuz. And we’re doing a stellar job.

So much of this is blogger brain, with people hearing rumors based on clickbait headlines, and having no idea how the money moved around.

The major index that bought into SpaceX on IPO day was the NASDAQ-100. S&P and DOW indexes have not yet included it.

While US ETFs currently own around $16 billion worth of the stock across 179 ETF products, that’s around 1% of the total market cap of the firm. The single largest shareholder - at around 44% of the market cap - is Elon himself. Another 20-odd% is owned by various private equity funds that are a whose-who of the modern tech sector - Google, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, Sequoia Capital, and Andreessen Horowitz - along with your standard assortment of Wall Street banks - Baillie Gifford, Baron Capital Group, T. Rowe Price, and Valor Equity Partners.

Nobody has actually cashed out yet, in any meaningful capacity. But because the stock slipped off it’s IPO high, we’re getting a bunch of screaming know-nothings who insist they’ve all been robbed.

The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

The stock hit $123 on Friday. It’s still got a $1.6T market cap. I have no idea where they got that headline from.

Producing H2 isn’t hard. Storing and transporting it is the tricky part.

California spent billions of dollars trying this and never got it off the ground.

Incidentally, the Japanese, the Chinese, the Spanish, and the Russians all got around this with full electrification of their rail networks. Then you don’t need to produce H2, just push electricity where you need it on your grid.

Always makes me wonder if the engagement is in a warranted amount.

We’ve hired so many cops and they’ve all got nothing (practical) to do. So it’s not unusual to see cops piling up around any kind of dispatch.

it doesn’t have the Dropout app

Firstly, 👊 for being a Dropout appreciator. But it’s definitely in there somewhere. I’ve got Dropout loaded and running on my LG from years back.

It’s different in so far as we didn’t invest a trillion dollars in giant strip mines that destroyed these states.

I had a Sonata that I drove into the ground over 15 years. Loved it. Only gave up on the car when I got rear-ended and my insurance decided to total the vehicle rather than pay for repairs.

Every other carmaker will do the same if it works

Can’t believe the guy who mass markets the currency used for CSAM would be involved in something like this.

Remind me to avoid Hyundai like the plague. Every time one of these automation plans goes live, the quality of products falls off a cliff.

victims of another big tech company’s layoffs

The tech sector has been heavily inoculated against any kind of labor solidarity for my entire life. At some point, you can’t just be a victim. You’ve got to fight back. And I don’t know if the people getting sucked into and shat out of Silicon Valley year to year have the gumption to do it. Seems like they’ll line right back up at Facebook the moment Zuck wants to hire them again, under even worse terms, salaries, and working conditions than when they were kicked out.
