Someone is paying a lot of money to pump these "EV sales are crashing; EVs are FAIL" stories throughout multiple media channels the last six weeks. Reality is that EV sales growth is flattening out a bit from astronomical to just high, and absolute EV sales continue to climb. But when e.g. Norway has had 40%+ EV marketshare for new car sales for 5 years sales increases are eventually going to flatten out. Same thing will take longer in the US but is happening to a certain extent in Southern California, which is a large part of the overall vehicle market in the US.

I have heard of it most often with cornfield subdivisions in older towns becoming exurbs/suburbs: before the house is built the land is technically still a farm and the owner can drill a well, but after the house it built it is a residential property that is served by city water. But there are a lot of weird variations on that kind of thing.

I have had a number of coworkers in different real estate regulation jurisdictions fall into a trap with ground coupled heat pumps: in many jurisdictions a ground-coupled heat pump is classified as a well, and those jurisdictions had regulations saying that in residential areas wells can only be installed on unimproved land. Once the foundation is poured it is no longer unimproved. Check with your builder and building code office to determine if you need to drill the hole first before other construction starts.

Tell some telemarketer to put you on their "do not call" list, and then they call the next day. What are you going to do about it?

It's like telling migrants that it's illegal to cross the border.

The whole idea of containerized freight is: the entire trailer can be easily moved from truck, to train, to ship - you never have to even open the trailer.

If you are going to put the battery in the trailer, that would kill the whole idea. You might either have to unload the trailer, or ship the heavy expensive battery for hundreds or thousands of miles.

Anybody else notice that every few weeks there is some new miracle battery that is going to change everything?

And that is what really matters.

I think there is a significant difference between bird avoiding a certain area, and birds being killed.

Extremely unlikely. Nuclear energy is generations past 1970s Soviet technology that powered Chernobyl. New nuclear technology is vastly safer.

But that is not a valid comparison. Comparing two different ways of creating electricity is different from comparing a method of creating electricity to a building.

Watch "Police State" by Dinesh D'Souza to learn about how Christians are being brazenly attacked by our government.

BTW: I am not a Christian myself, I am agnostic. But the persecution of Christians in our nation is obvious to anybody other than completely brainwashed leftists.

There are some people in the USA who want the USA to be some kind of Christian theocracy, but they are a small, persecuted, and powerless, minority.

I see nothing "right wing" about this. Seems to me that Marxist NYT is trying to smear conservatism again.

This has been my experience as well. I am presently using RHEL 8.5, and I find FreeBSD faster, and easier administration. My hardware is, at least, 5 years old, and I have no problem with drivers. I have never been a great fan of systemd. My favorite linux distro is Devuan. I use RHEL because I think I should be more proficient on something that is more widely used.
