The laws of physics prevent many people from driving a vehicle with a sub 5 second 0-60 time. It takes a lot of ponies to get a bro-dozer up to speed that quickly.

I think a lot of EVs can do this. My very early Model 3 (not 4WD or Performance model) could do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds for a while (before Tesla nerfed the acceleration).

Because money is the ultimate fungible commodity, the headline should really be:

"Singapore to subsidize production and use of sustainable aviation fuel"

I am skeptical that the "sustainable aviation fuel" is really sustainable and it isn't just disguised fossil fuel (like almost all hydrogen production for vehicles).

You are making an assumption that is not correct.

You appear to think that the last time anyone could buy an EV and get the rebate was in September. But, all people had to do by the end of September was to enter into a binding contract to buy an EV -- the car could be delivered later.

So the October sales still reflects some cars sold with the rebates. I expect things to get worse in November.

With any luck, once Trump is out of office, all of those people involved in the illegal activities by ICE will be charged with crimes, found guilty of breaking the law, and thrown in prison.

That requires a sense of urgency that the Dems have failed show. Garland was known to be someone who would not be quick to act. Many of Biden's actions came too late in his presidency to have a meaningful impact.

...this seems like flawed proof. A 27" screen seems a tad small.

That depends on the distance from your eyes. The experiment varied this distance in order to vary the PPD (Pixels Per Degree) and see what participants could distinguish at various PPDs.
