He could always try living within his means, you know, like rich republicans always say poor people should do.

"Why are you crying? Is it your haircut?"

Okay, that's horrible, but in a country with around 1.5 billion people things can be both incredibly rare and happen every week.

The thing with EVs is that they get cleaner over time as cheap solar and batteries become a bigger part of the grid and old coal plants age out.

If you buy a diesel today, it'll still be burning diesel in 2045.

He looks like he's just seen a sexy couch.

I'm either going to die in the water riots or I'll be shot dead by a Google Amazon compliance assistance team for using an adblocker.

It's like that Turning Point guy, where the internet is littered with shrunken face photos to the point they're inevitably going to leak into official records.

Yeah, but EVs don't go fwoosh like a petrol car with a burst fuel tank in movies. You just... get out of the car and leave it to the fire fighters.

If you're loading and unloading 20 times a day, you're doing local delivery and should probably be in an electric truck in the first place.

The horsies are near the king and queen so they can ride them.

I remember a story of a child watching their mother cook a roast, and asked why she cut the ends off before putting it in the oven.

The mother learned it from her mother, so they both went and asked the grandmother.

Turned out the grandmother used to have a small oven and did that to make it fit.

 

Just two years ago my car's 50 kWh battery weighed around 350 kg, now you can get a 45 kWh battery that fits in the palm of your hand!

 

In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl?

We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.
