I love that Edison Motors jokes that they chose their name because "we stole Tesla's idea and made it better"

.

For those that hadn't heard of them, Edison Motors is building electric (and hybrid) semi trucks after putting down a deposit of Tesla's semi truck and not seeing any follow-up in more than 3 years.

How dumb do you have to be to not see through this?

Because people can't read minds, things observed of that mind will be very carefully assessed.

That is one of the biggest difficulties when dealing with psychiatric patients- there is no straightforward "blood test" to determine what's really going on.

While other branches of medicine can do an x-ray and see a broken bone, or do a blood test to determine blood sugar, mental health diagnosis relies on observation of the patient, interpreting their answers to questions, and relying on some amount of self assessment.

If the patient is intentionally "presenting well" in an attempt to "get out of the loonie bin", it can make diagnosis and assessment extra challenging.

And it seems like Google's funding will help advance safer and more modern nuclear plant designs

Hopefully.

But the cynic in me is always concerned when shareholder owned companies are operating something that has the potential to go very wrong very quickly if/when they cut too many corners in the pursuit of that extra 0.5% of profit.

It's so unnecessary complicated and prone to errors/manipulation

That's why it exists - to make it more inconvenient for people (especially in certain demographics) to vote.

In the reality of the current election, the only 2 options available are the lesser evil or the greater and more chaotic evil.

people who won't vote for genocide,

Would you prefer to vote for the candidate who has been calling for a cease fire, or the one that has bent over for Netanyahu in the past and fully plans to do it again?

Because those are the only 2 options available.

However the American presidential election and the consequences of it's outcome certainly is in large part about Donald fucking Trump.

Wouldn’t necessarily put this to a political side. Dude was just crazy

Both things can be true at the same time.
