Successive governments have shown that they will not fuck with the boomers and older gen x retirement age or pension.

So any raises in age or means testing it will only apply to younger gen x and down and come far too late to actually help with the problem.

A hearty fuck off to that as it is as we paying for the older generations state pension and a younger age than we will ever get despite being a considerably smaller group.

If you want to do real change that will have a faster impact, means test existing pensioners. Except the government bottled doing that for even thr small amount of the winter fuel allowance.

Also can the triple lock and instead increase the pension credit. But again that will be bottled.

Don't forget the trackball!

If they have vial compatible (qmk) firmware then you can configure the tap dance from the gui rather than having to customise and compile your own key map.

Not to be confused with via, which doesn't support tap dance.

How much did he get paid for writing the book? How many were sold on day one and how few were sold after that?

It could be an easy way to pass a bribe by paying someone to write a book that nobody actually wants.

Clearly, its the tap dance feature within open source firmware, QMK, that is rising in popularity. People just want to be able to double tap and tap and hold for extra functionality on their keyboard and trackballs.

If its made before 2009 its likely not BPA free and you should consider upgrading to a modern one. I think the plastic was changed again around 2014. Mine is from that time period and doesnt have an after taste either.

As well as the glass one you can get one made of tritan, which would be my pick over the glass as its mostly the same look, a lot cheaper, and pretty much unbreakable.

Claimed 2.7 miles per kwh @ 60 mph, seems quite high. I am assuming that's with the battery at optimum temperature, small run up to that speed with no more stop/start, likely a tail wind, air con off or very low, and a mostly flat road.

A vehicle that heavy a lot of stop/start is going to kill your efficiency getting that big fatty moving again. Trying to keep the entire car cool in a hot climate, doing the actual speed limit, and on more varied roads and you will be looking closer to 2 and probably under 2 miles per kwh.

Charging this thing at home if you are using most of that battery between charges is going to be brutal. Over 28 hours with a 7kw charger, 18 if you can do three phase and charge at 11kw. If you are just topping up every few days and not using the range regularly, then what on earth do you need such a large battery for?

If you are actually driving 10 hours at a time without any stops because you trying to max out the range, do you pee in a bottle?

If he will even just make threats to white, male, billionaire who publicly supported him and funded him, then hopefully its a wake up call to the other billionaires. May be then they can start paying the DNC and the R Supreme Court judges who like free holidays to actually do something about Trump.

I would be extremely surprised if Trump actually follows through with any of this, but Musk is more than capable of escalating the situation like last time to the point Trump has to follow through.

Any conversation around salary has to include their generous pension scheme (better than civil servants), significant expenses that they are allowed to claim for their lifetime in parliament, expensive freebies such as Taylor Swift or access to an Arsenal box, subsidised food and drink, and the opportunities offered for additional salary from outside jobs and lobbying. Oh and if they lose their seat the get a decent pay out, significantly more than statutory redundancy. And for the small number who might have a baby in office, six months full pay, far more than statutory again.

Just focusing on salary when its only part of their actual net income makes it appear meaner than it actually is. They should be forced to stick to statutory requirements as that would incentivize them to improve it quicker rather than yet another exception.

UK as an adult you often have to pay for this per request and there is a limit on the number you can request at once. As it can take weeks or even months to complete while you wait for your turn in the queue so it makes it very hard to stack requests.

As a kid I used to love this service as it was free without real request linits and a lot faster. I could just pre order books that hadn't come out.

I stopped using my local library because of it as their planned fiction book selection is basically large print romance or war stories or westerns.

You didn't say cheap just high quality, so merz b schwanen and sunspel are both made in Europe and both very high quality.

This was him justifying what was a cost saving decision that became a face saving battle for him personally as everyone told him he was wrong.

If there is one thing Elon cannot stand above all others is admitting he was wrong, especially when he has spent years promising this and now he would have to retrofit at his cost Lidar to all those cars he sold as self driving ready with an expensive optional extra.

He might be able to avoid any sort of punishment from the US government as long as he stays in Trumps good books, but he will not be able to do so in Europe or similar.

Battery pack improvements have to be right up there with why electric have gotten so much better now.

The new tabless batteries in particular are a good step forward even with older tools. And they are last 18 months or less depending on your tool colour of choice.

Really big tools like most landscaping or concrete tools that use the really big batteries (think back pack batteries) have an insane amount of watts they can push out.

I never used petrol tools but I did use mains tools a lot due to the extra power but now 240v is often lower than the top battery tools now.
