EV batteries can’t survive a scratch — Reuters
EV batteries can’t survive a scratch — Reuters - By James David Dickson
A report in Reuters last week points toward another problem for the electric vehicle: durability after a crash.
- If cost and range anxiety weren’t enough of a problem, EV collisions will be costly
A report in Reuters last week points toward another problem for the electric vehicle: durability after a crash.
Specifically, the electric vehicle’s battery is a problem.
For many electric vehicles, there is no way to repair or assess even slightly damaged battery packs after accidents, forcing insurance companies to write off cars with few miles - leading to higher premiums and undercutting gains from going electric.

Bragg Was Looking to Charge Trump with a Felony, Could Land Himself in Prison for Years Instead
Bragg Was Looking to Charge Trump with a Felony, Could Land Himself in Prison for Years Instead:
“If [Bragg] uses Cohen as a witness, he could actually lose his bar license,” Dershowitz told Fox Business Network’s “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo” in a March 26 interview, according to Mediaite.
That was four days before the news of the indictment exploded on the scene on Thursday.
“It’s unethical to put a witness on the stand who you know is lying, and he has to know that Cohen will be lying,” Dershowitz said. “Or he tries the case without Cohen, which would be very difficult, or he does the right thing: He drops the case.”

You're not allowed to make legitimate points or ask legit questions anymore...
Facebook Debbie Schlussel 
"You're not allowed to make legitimate points or ask legit questions anymore lest you be demanded to give an apology or be canceled (or both in many cases).
Guy Pearce, who is a great actor and played trans in a movie, made the mistake of making the same point I've made several times: if only trans--and not straight/normal--actors can play trans roles then why are trans allowed to play straight roles?
- But he made the mistake of assuming you're allowed to be reasonable and ask reasonable questions.
- Here's a tip: only straight whites can be racist and trans can play whatever role they want, etc.
- There is no two-way street or sanity in this world. So now, of course and predictably, Pearce is doing mega back flips on the apology treadmill.
So sad.
