I think the point is that while your point is broadly true, in this specific scenario the treatment might not have been available anyway. Looking up on the named procedure, it seems likely most nations would have declined to offer this treatment, considering it futile in his situation.

Yeah, one would think that would blow a grand jury ruling. Vandalism, arson... ok.

If it weren't an external gate and was instead someone's front door, then maybe, but as it stands, it's all property damage and attempted murder is a crazy reach...

I think that would apply to people tricked into reading/watching AI slop video, but I think his definition is a likely one that could apply.

You try to google search, you get an 'ai overview'. In a bizarre scenario, DuckDuckGo made a big deal of asking the users and showing the users overwhelmingly wanted to skip AI results by default, and duckduckgo still defaults to AI summary unless you take measures to opt out.

An analogy is dificult, but I suppose imagine a subway dropped off someone and there's no stairs up, only a tunnel for a Tesla to take you to the next stop. You "use" a car, but were given no option to do otherwise because you were stuck underground and they forced you to take the car to carry on.

In either case, his definition certainly is a likely one for a Gen Z respondant to be thinking when they respond "yes they use AI". On the flip side some probably felt as you do and responded that they did not use AI, because they did not voluntarily do so.

You are correct, and the critical number is that sodium is over 3 times as massive as equivalent lithium.

But to keep in perspective, we are talking about an element that's only about 5-7% of a pack, so theoretically you could maybe get to only 10-15% more massive as a penalty for swapping out lithium. Which is some applications is still unacceptable,but broadly we have seen a lot of accepting that same tradeoff going from NMC to LFP...

Sodium battery performance is better in the cold.

Currently some sodium battery products are out in the market and aren't appreciably cheaper yet and the answer to 'why' was 'cold weather performance'.

offered his outlandish excuse that he was supposed to be a doctor

It'll be good enough for his base, who is willing to believe anything to rationalize his behavior.

It was a stunt to try to remind people that he pushed for no taxes on tips, which was a part of both his and Harris' platforms.

Since inflation is again going up and particularly gas prices are up and he has nearly zero good news, he has to try to milk his tip tax policy as much as he can.

It's grading on a curve.

Biden/Harris were weak on Israel, barely managing to occasionally wag a finger at them for misbehavior, but continuing to provide some support to Israel. This was bad.

Trump's admin has been all in on it and has been ride or die for everything Netanyahu wants. This is even worse.

Yes, I'm just unsure when the volumes hit.

Evidently they do seem to indicate a battery intake rate consistent with about 250,000 EV batteries a year.

Globally about 30 million cars are junked a year, so as EV adoption raises then they could reasonably get 8 fold more batteries even while splitting with other companies.

But they have a chokepoint that means they can only use a fraction of the batteries they get already, so more batteries won't help them right now.

One thing to keep in mind is that the car may outlast the battery, by a fair amount.

If you look at Prius, there's been a fair amount of battery replacement there. I vaguely recall seeing that first gen Nissan Leaf batteries degraded enough to need replacement fairly quickly. On the flip side, seems the more carefully managed solutions with liquid cooling and maintaining buffers have been more robust than expected.

Still, I ultimately agree with the assessment that the volumes aren't going to be there for a long time, just that batteries coming out can happen before the car is scrapped. But in terms of volumes, prior to 2019 there just weren't enough batteries going to be expecting much either way yet.

where one person pretends to be under-18

The performers may be adults, but it seems the key thing is an assertion that one or more of the characters are underage.

Which seems easy enough, two 18 year old step siblings. In fact, I don't know how often they ever explicitly state an age for a character nor anything that would definitively make them underage otherwise.

I agree with this sentiment and the concept of 'step-siblings' may work as expected when the kids are like 5.

But if they are instead late teens, well, the parents should be realistic about what happens when you put generally horny strangers under one roof... It should be a risk factor that weighs heavily about joining your families in one household.
