I'm no Israel apologist, but BS is BS, it smells the same all over the world. It's a lot more important to use the brain God gave you than to be "on the right side of history". Stop listening to these guys.

You are a censorship apologist, as you are calling for people to get fired over opinions. It does not matter if you think that what they believe is BS, in a free country you should not be fired for political beliefs.

They are prosecuting non-violent protesters that did not vandalize anything and they are trying to use Enron-era law to get 20 year sentences. Which is ridiculous. I wouldn't be complaining if it was limited to a bunch of misdemeanor trespass charges, but Democrats are going for 20 year sentences for anyone who entered Capitol, including reporters.

Submission + - Two lifeforms merge into one organism for first time in a billion years (msn.com)

fjo3 writes: For the first time in at least a billion years, two lifeforms have merged into a single organism.

The process, called primary endosymbiosis, has only happened twice in the history of the Earth, with the first time giving rise to all complex life as we know it through mitochondria. The second time that it happened saw the emergence of plants.

Now, an international team of scientists have observed the evolutionary event happening between a species of algae commonly found in the ocean and a bacterium.

Which non-violent political protesters were jailed? Surely you can't be referring to the January 6th rioters, who tresspassed in the capitol building, vandalized it, and assaulted the capitol police? All three acts are clearly illegal under any rational reading of the law.

Every single one of them did all these things?

There is almost zero chance of that happening, as attempting to arrest sitting head of state of Russia would likely trigger nuclear exchange. So Hauge for Putin would require a regime change in Russia, and not the violent kind where the losing side gets all killed. As such, Putin will likely end up like Stalin - poisoned and dying on a carpet in his own piss than tried in the international courts.

While we can recognize evil of Putin's regime when it engages in totalitarian crackdowns on free speech, the sad truth is that we are not far behind. For example, Biden's justice department manufacturing novel legal theories to imprison non-violent political protesters while ignoring similar cases elsewhere.

Clearly EVs are the future and the savings will be every year, for the foreseeable future.

If we look at the electricity costs alone, why are you so certain it will remain low when generation is down, regulatory costs are up, and demand is up?

That aside, maintenance costs of EVs are proven to be higher than ICE. The promise of simpler electric cars did not materialize, EVs on the road today are differently complex than ICEs only the technology is newer. So no, it is not clear to me that EVs will be cheaper to run on individual or fleet scale.
