In a recent post I commented that proponents of inductive charging face a huge challenge: the world is steadily replacing gas- and diesel-powered cars and trucks with EVs that are physically plugged in when not in use.
Here’s a meme suggesting that I’m wrong, but if this were authentic, wouldn’t the green sign have been written in Swedish?
Over the years, I know I’ve recommended The Daily Stoic to readers a few times, and I hope you’ll clink on the link above to request their free daily email.
At left is one of the gems that Marcus Aurelius left as a suggestion as to how to live a harmonious life.
It makes one think about “lying and unjust men.” Perhaps, it’s somewhat comforting to be reminded that there was no shortage of evil in the world 2000 years ago. It’s very much credible that ancient Rome had its equivalents to Donald Trump and the other world dictators who used fear, lies, and violence in their quest to gain absolute power.
So the laws of the land apply to every one of us–except for the single most powerful?
And that sounds like the underpinnings of a democracy?
He really is putting this country through hell.
A reader points out: (Trump) will most likely leave the country to avoid prison.
One would certainly think.
Outside of a person facing execution, it’s hard to imagine a greater flight risk.
In the last year, the percentage of Republicans who want to see a full accounting for the events of January 6, 2021 has fallen from 27% to 13%. The vast majority of the GOP simply wants to “let this go.”
It’s easy to understand that Republicans want to pretend that either a) this never happened, or b) it was essentially non-violent, but given the criminal charges
against the former president, it looks extremely unlikely that J6 will blow over, rather, that all Americans and people around the globe will be exposed to a torrent of evidence proving the guilt of Trump and his senior staff.
Here’s a guy selling a perpetual motion machine (see photo at left) that I’ve seen frequently on social media.
For the life of me, I can’t understand why this fraudster isn’t in prison.
It was Nikola Tesla who first noticed that a current flowing in a wire would induce a current to flow in a nearby conductor. 130 years later, this is the way we charge our electric toothbrushes. But will this transfer to the arena of electric vehicles?
I doubt it.
The challenge that the proponents of inductive EV charging face is that the world is steadily replacing gas- and diesel-powered cars and trucks with EVs that are physically plugged in when not in use.
If I were betting, I would say that inductive charging is appropriate only to vehicles like shuttle buses that make stops at well-defined places.
I happen to know a few veterans and active duty service people, and I don’t know a single one who isn’t sickened by Trump and his treasonous behavior following his election loss in 2020.
Mainstream media may wish to convince us otherwise, but it’s hard to imagine that he has a prayer of winning in 2024.
What FDR said here 75 years ago provides insight into where we are now, where we have a Supreme Court justice taking bribes and a climate change mitigation strategy that’s stuck in the mud, due to the fact that the fossil fuel industry owns our lawmaking process.
Notice the marked difference between the Republicans’ responses to the crimes of Nixon and those of Trump. Nixon, who obstructed justice, was forced to resign in disgrace and, within a few years was simply a distant, unpleasant memory.
50 years later, Trump tried to overthrow the United States government, and is now the GOP’s run-away frontrunner in the upcoming primary. As shown here, one of his congressional supporters made plans to throw a party to celebrate the anniversary of the insurrection.
