I don’t think you know what Apartheid is sorry.

The Volvo EX90 is a 7 seat EV.

Volvo makes quite a few EV and hybrids now. The “Overseas Delivery Tourist Experience” is also a nice touch if you ever wanted to go to sweden.

I’ve been looking at the EV9 and people who have driven it seem to love a lot about it, except for one thing. The incessant beeping. It has safety features that beep about everything and often you don’t know why it’s even doing it. You can turn it off but they only stay disabled till you turn off the vehicle. next time you get in bEep BEep beEp.

My wife would end up lighting it on fire and pushing off a cliff she would be so annoyed. If there is no way to permanently disable it then hard pass.

Most new EV models allow you to set a “leave time” for when your car needs to be fully charged, with a warm battery and a pre-heated cabin. For example, Tesla owners have the ability to “precondition” their car, which entails setting a time via the Tesla app for their car to pre-heat.

Many people pre-heat standard engine cars in the winter, setting an app isn’t really that much different and arguably more convenient.

It’s a stupid argument to be so concerned over power being used when ICE are ridiculously wasteful. In a standard 50L tank 30 liters literally goes to doing nothing other than getting hot. If your EV is pulling 60% of the total energy bill to keep the battery warm you have other issues that need looking at.

Just out of curiosity are you clutching your pearls over the clock drawing power while your car is parked too?

Yea you can just pay to heat the air in a internal combustion engine where 60% of the energy goes to making heat instead.

What is even your point?

If you don’t have a block heater you don’t live someplace cold, just chilly. Either way it’s no reason to not get an EV.

I had a 87 corolla for the longest time. I sold it to a teenager a over a decade ago and I still see it rolling around town. Great car if you are only worried about going a-b and don’t need fancy things like usb chargers or A/C.

Block heaters are a thing for decades and no one worries about needing to keep the oil warm. Don’t see how warming a battery is any different.

Yea elk don’t give a fuck about much really. We have a few herds where I live and they don’t even move when we walk our dogs nearby. I even have a video of one coming right up to the fence around my property, both my great pyrenees were losing their minds with the elk less than a foot away, the elk seemed more curious about the noisy little things (“little” relative to a full grown elk that is) than anything else.

Over the last century, the Land of the Free has slowly transformed into a land governed by endless laws, largely by cracking down on vices instead of actual crimes, creating a society that would render us all criminals if our behavior were constantly observed.

Just the framing of the first line is like something out of an Ayn Rand hallucination. When I see something that heavily tilted the first thing I look for is WHO is writing it and WHY would they.

And it’s waiting for you when you get off the flight.

I find it comical to watch all the people in a hurry to stand in a line for 5 mins before the door even opens. Even for long west-east coast flights I can manage to sit for a few more minutes.

It’s the same with boarding. I just wait till most of the line is done so I don’t have to fight to get to my seat.

There are no coincidences.

Yea the idea of it is good but it needs work.

No they said it was a Hamas command post with stuffies and lego. We all know how dangerous lego can be if left on the floor!

Im sorry but the copy they showed was pristine… In a war zone, in Palestine, where people can’t get clean water…

And the terrorist had sticky notes and highlighters and never made a single dog ear, wrinkled a page or got a spec of dirt on it.

It must be the cleanest object in Gaza.

This is as believable as the 3 copies of “the sims 3” found next to the unworn swastika t-shirt was… If you believe this is real and not just poorly done propaganda I have some magic beans to sell you.

Yea, it cut out pretty much everything important in the story.

Let’s tell a story…

Imagine for a moment, if you will, the United States in the present day. Imagine a bill reaches the US House of Representatives called “America the nation state of white people”. In its basic principles it states “the right to exercise National self-determination in the United States is unique to white people”. Further down a clause for White Settlement “the state views the development of White Settlement as a national value and will act to encourage and promote its establishment and consolidation”.

Outraged a coalition led by the Congressional Black Caucus initiates a challenge to the bill and proposes a bill of their own where it calls the United States “a country for all its citizens” but the speaker of the house unilaterally disqualifies the bill before it’s allowed to even be debated.

The house General counsel explains in a statement the bill includes several articles that are meant to “alter the character of the United States from the nation state of white people to a state in which there is equal status from the point of view of nationality for whites and people of color” the bill is dead.

“America the nation state of white people” passes through both chambers of Congress unchallenged it’s then signed into law.

US President Joe Biden would invoke the law in a tweet a year later saying “America is not a state of all its citizens according to the nation state law we passed America is the nation state of white people and not anyone else” As one Rights group put it “there is no Democratic constitution in the world that designates the Constitutional identity of the state on racial grounds as serving one ethnic group”. There is now this disconcerting scenario, it is anything but imaginary.

It’s completely real and happened just a few years ago to little coverage and little condemnation in Israel.

That is who you are defending, like a golem set to task by its master, thoughtless and without morals.
