These people don't hate Nazis or fascists. They've never encountered either. They hate people who won't comply with their way of thinking. If you challenge their worldview they will k!ll you just for talking. This is totalitarianism.
Authoritarian seek political power. Totalitarianism want to control everything including your private thoughts. K!llinh non-conformists satisfies their violent tendencies but it's real purpose is to frighten the masses into compliance.
Everything they say and do makes perfect sense with this understanding. This is much bigger than gas prices and militarily actions you may disagree with.
It's a simple fact of electric motors that predates the automobile.
The internal combustion engine has a narrow power band where it generates high torque. That's why you need a transmission. You feel torque build, then level, the transmission shits to a higher gear and you feel it again. If you don't downshift it will stall from lack of torque.
Electric motors produce torque throughout the rpm range.

A new injectable gel can rebuild worn-out spinal discs instead of just masking the pain.
Doctors working with US company ReGelTec are testing an injectable gel called Hydrafil for people whose spinal discs have worn down with age.
The discs are the cushions between your vertebrae, and as they dry out and flatten, they can cause years of back pain. Hydrafil is injected through a needle as a warm liquid, then firms up at body temperature into a water-rich, rubbery cushion that refills the damaged disc and restores its height.
In a study of 60 patients, average back pain scores fell from 7.3 to 2.1 out of 10 after a year, and disability scores dropped sharply too.
Today, most treatments for worn discs manage symptoms with painkillers, injections or physical therapy, and the last resort is surgery to fuse or replace the disc. A gel that rebuilds the cushion itself could offer something in between.
The early study had no comparison group, and five patients needed a procedure to remove gel that had shifted. A larger trial against a placebo procedure is underway, and the FDA has granted it Breakthrough Device status to speed its review.

The last 3 videos by @SpaceX are outstanding 30+ minute educational pieces. The production quality is as good as any science documentaries I've seen. Do yourself a favor and watch them. This is the Playlist on YouTube.

I asked a question. I made no judgements: explicit or implicit.
OP blocked me and you posted this nonsense. I'm not the one making an ass of myself.

My opinion on the Kordell Stewart HBO documentary.
As a fan, kordell never seemed confident in front of the cameras. Based on comments from Coach Cowher & Kordell himself that extended to the locker room and on the field.
I had forgotten about the times he played well. For Kordell's sake that should have been the focus of the show. Unfortunately it came off as a cultural commentary about homosexuality with Kordell as a helpless victim.
Players and teams overcoming adversity is a major theme in Sports generally and NFL in particular. It's closely associated with greatness.
The documentary wanted to send the message that Kordell could have been or should have been great if not for mean fans.
Instead of breaking the link between the gay rumor and his talent as a player this show did the opposite.
I see it as a missed opportunity for Kordell Stewart. In a sense if feel like they exploited Kordell Stewart to drive a message about homosexuality and racism.
P.S. There was also a pretty prominent, racist rumor anout Bill Cowher. He wanted out of Pittsburgh. He said it was like living in a fish bowl. We'll never know, because he'll never say, the extent that rumor impacted him. That's because for him to talk about it only solidifies it as part of his legacy.
I didn't learn anything from this documentary about KordellStewart. I doubt the Rooney investigation turned up anything useful. Here's how I quickly knew the rumor was BS:
I heard the same story from friends in the etna, Sharpsburg, Fox Chapel area as i did from coworkers living in Munhall, South Hills and as far east as Irwin.
They all knew someone who had a friend whose cousin knew officer (first name only) who arrested Kordell. I don't remember the name of the cop.
Not long after the Kordell rumor waned they started one about Bill Cowher. He was having an affair with his assistant and his wife kicked him out of the house. I knew immediately this was a lie because I saw Cowher at least twice a week driving to work.
Pittsburgh was social media beforehand there was social media.

The problem with HOA is you invariably end up with complete incompetence running them, much like the Democrat Socialists running Allegheny County.
This is absolutely insane.
Homeowners in Magnolia Cove, a neighborhood in Sherrills Ford, North Carolina, are watching their HOA fees spiral completely out of control.
Earlier this year, residents were paying $350 a month. In June, those fees jumped to $1,250. Now, just four months later, the HOA has voted to DOUBLE them again to $2,500 A MONTH.
And believe it or not, it could have been even worse. The HOA had initially proposed raising the fees to an unbelievable $7,500 a month. That’s $90,000 a year!
The final approved amount of $2,500 still means homeowners are expected to pay $30,000 a year in HOA fees alone, compared to just $4,200 annually earlier this year.
Some residents are now worried about liens, foreclosure, and bankruptcy because they simply cannot afford these increases.
Imagine working your entire life to buy a home, only to have an HOA increase your fees by more than 600% in a matter of months and potentially force you out of your own house.
How the hell is this even allowed to happen?
After seeing the University of Utah student video I thought Pat Mcafee was being paranoid. This suggests he has more reason to be paranoid than sage burning.
Old saying:
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't our to get you.
Seriously though, at some point we need to accept the danger of left wing people high on left wing hate peddling.
Pat McAfee regularly gets threatening messages—including death threats. One source says the FBI advised him to wear a bullet-proof vest after Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Holy f*ck, Elon Musk's team at spacexai just dropped a full spam killer inside Grok Bot, and it's free
DeleteMe charges $129 a year to pull your number off spam lists
Grok Bot does it for $0
It finds your number on people-search sites, files every opt-out, clicks the confirmation emails and checks again every month
Add the free Spam-Call Scrubber skill, then say these 3 lines once:
1. "Find every site that lists my phone number and home address"
2. "File the opt-out on each one and finish the confirmation emails"
3. "Check again on the 1st of every month and tell me what came back"
Say line 1 tonight
Then read how to wire it into a team that never sleeps in the article below ↓
Accurate post. Capitalis vs Socialism 👇
Capitalism didn't create your need to work to survive. Nature did.
An employer doesn't impose that necessity upon you. He offers you an opportunity to satisfy it through voluntary exchange.
Socialism doesn't eliminate the necessity of work. It merely transfers authority over production to politicians or the collective.
Under capitalism, you're free to change employers, negotiate wages, work for yourself, or establish a cooperative. None guarantees success, but the freedom exists.
And here's where your moral superiority becomes particularly ridiculous.
You condemn people for offering employment on terms others are free to reject, yet consider yourself morally entitled to dictate how they must use their property, run their businesses, and compensate others.
You call voluntary agreements exploitation while presenting coercion as compassion.
Your objection isn't that people are being forced to serve others. It's that they aren't being forced to serve others on your terms.
And somehow, you've convinced yourself that makes you the moral one.

The biggest stories don’t always make the news. 🤔
Susan and I gave $6.25 billion to help 25 million American children build brighter futures.
These handwritten thank-you notes mean more than any headline ever could.
25 million children. 25 million futures. Endless possibilities. ❤️🇺🇸

Unreal…
Elon: Don’t use Starlink to kill people.
Zelensky: I used Starlink to kill people.
Legacy Media: Elon is a monster for stopping Zelensky from using Starlink to kill people.
Democrats: We must investigate Elon for stopping Zelensky from using Starlink to kill people.

This is indeed one of the main reasons that Starlink must remain a civilian operation.
It can be used for infrastructure that is military, but it cannot be used for unequivocally offensive strikes that make it fair game to be struck back.
An adversary blowing up Starlink satellites would create a domino effect of destruction that would generate a vast field of debris making space unusable.
I remember the days when regular, non technical people couldn't connect a VCR and in many cases couldn't set the clock. I thought we were past that until my feed was flooded with Musk haters talking about Elon's post about Ukraine violating Starlink TOS.
All I see are 8 segment LED clocks flashing 12:00. 🤣
This is the first fair and accurate explanation of Elon's post. Those spinning it as "Musk is Dr Evil" have to hate Fox News too. It triggers cognitive dissonance.
Elon Musk is accusing Ukraine of using Starlink to carry out offensive drone strikes "to kill people," defending restrictions that disrupted Ukrainian military operations for more than a week.
The SpaceX CEO claims Ukraine violated the satellite service's terms of use, insisting the technology was never intended to support offensive attacks.
Musk also argues that SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any other private company, while warning that shutting off Starlink entirely would cause the country's front line to collapse.
See what Musk says about the restrictions and who he claims controls them in the full story: foxnews.com/politics/ukraine…
Space X refused Starlink service to Russia. They started buying Starlink terminals in Ukraine or on the black market. Elon Musk worked with Ukraine to implement measures to block Putin from using Starlink against Zelensky. The final most effective solution was the whitelist.
The whitelist includes tens of thousands of terminals. 3,000 are provisioned on Starshield. The rest have speed limits on commercial Starlink. I thought it was 160 km/h but now it looks like it may be less than half that.
The statement that all commercial terminals in Ukraine are subject to "no movement" is fasle. It Only applies to those terminals not whitelisted. There are many that aren't. Far more than Starshield
🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk says Ukraine violated Starlink’s terms of service by using it for offensive drone strikes. He claims this “loophole” was closed last week.
But there’s a serious problem with his explanation.
In February, Ukraine introduced a whitelist system. Any satellite terminal operating while moving had to be specially authorized through the military Starshield system.
That means civilian Starlink terminals were not supposed to be capable of supporting moving drone missions. Such operations required Starshield.
So what exactly did Musk restrict last week - and most important why?
