Humans are terrible. Why would you want to capture an infinite capacity for spite?

That's my tax money.

I understand that cops as a population are not all good or all bad, but there are enough of the bad, or lazy, or simply overworked and under pressure to make it a continuing issue that any particular technology will abused or misused unless there are severe repercussions to doing so.

I say they'll only learn after they've been successfully sued for a few billion dollars because of lazy/negligent work. Let the lawsuits continue!

Goddamnit..."The Line is Other People."

I say the line should be drawn where individual decisions start affecting other people. Smoking is an easy example, as second-hand smoke causes cancer in other people.

Young people and other functional idiots should be able to inject nicotine directly into their systems and have heart attacks and cancer at an increased rate to their heart's content.

It's not about "wokeness" or anything else other than these these companies have done their homework, and they know that the most bang for their buck is solar in this market.

If these companies found out that they'd have a better return on investment for cutting out the hearts of unwilling sacrifices and burning them to provide electricity, it'd somehow be legal in a week.

I think this is my first "-1 troll."

Interesting.

Apparently there's strong evidence that the plasticized bodies in "Bodies: The Exposition" are Chinese political prisoners. I was too lazy to look up this evidence, so I just threw out a flippant comment that alluded to China's impressive and well documented lack of giving any shits about human rights.

It being China we're taking about, I'm going to go ahead and translate "dedicated primate research facilities" into "prisons."

Companies are never held to account unless it's to another company with pockets deep enough to pay lawyers for years of work on their behalf.

30A @240V? Based on my math, you're wanting a 300 foot run or so from the breaker box to your charger, since 6-6-6-6 Copper Service Entrance Cable is $6-7 a foot if you buy by the foot.

Except it does work out. The amount of money I have NOT spent on maintenance and gas since I bought my first EV is just so incredibly financially satisfying.

That may be anecdotal evidence, but you've got none at all.

I did this out-of-pocket once, because it was worth the money given the number of years I expected to live at that house. Totally worth it, given that I can drive my BEV 4 times as far as an equivalent ICEV on a dollar per dollar basis.

So the "adversary" in "Top Gun: Maverick" WAS Iran. I knew it!

Aren't you in the electorate?
