She fucked a married guy and that’s misogyny? How does that work exactly?

They’re waiting to see if Trump is in office. He can be bought for fairly cheap.

Are these even street legal in the US? Our safety standards are obscene. Air bags alone cost 5k.

It’s why Tata never released a vehicle here.

Even a secular single state won’t fix the outright hatred between Islam and Judaism. It’d just be two tribes killing each other under the same flag.

You have to fix that root hatred, and I don’t think you can without some sort of religious persecution.

I stand by my statement. It’s a childish conflict that will never end.

Exactly. I stand by my original comment.

So what exactly is your proposed solution? Do we create a terrorist state (look up hamas approval rates before you dismiss that statement) or let Israel complete it’s genocide?

There’s not a solution to this problem and there never will be.

But how should we solve it…humor me.

Meh…two children fighting over a special place in the sandbox.

I’m racist is all you’ve got for that? Really? Brilliant rebuttle.

That’s correct…I think they should both rot in prison…but only one was let go. Why is that?

She also disregarded a state department directive that Russia is a dangerous country to go to for Americans.

So, not only was she above the law, she felt she was above the US government’s intelligence department as well.

She’s put national security at risk and we all fucking paid for Biden making an appeal to black voters.

I feel superior that I never had to release a person in the top 10 wanted list because I really needed my drugs.

That’s a reasonable position however you want to spin it.

Don’t play the lawful card.

Really? That’s your defense for breaking the law…“Don’t worry about the law”?

Don’t go to Asia if that’s your attitude. They make Russia look like a vacation resort.

100m cables blowing in the wind are incredibly difficult to work

They’re enclosed. No wind.

Yea, no…If you’re going to cross into another country, make sure you respect the laws of said country. Next time she’ll hopefully leave her drugs at home.

Yea, I agree with that. If the landscape is conducive to it, hydro makes more sense.

I think they’re both very cool chunks of engineering.

Are wenches simpler than big ass hydro pumps? Don’t know…plus you have to deal with water evaporating and erosion.

The level of effort seems comparable.

Edit: The energy vault design is kind of brilliant in its simplicity. I had to look it up. Its a building full of modular elevator shafts that have huge weights in them. Each one has an electric engine at the top.

Excess energy means they pull the weights up. When you need energy, you regeneratively break the weight back down.

So essentially it’s one complex moving part at the top of each shaft.

That seems much easier to maintain than a giant basin of water, pumps to move the water up, turbines to capture the output, and big ass valves to control the flow.

You can put these anywhere…water storage will be environment dependent for a lot of reasons.

I don’t think either one is better, just depends on the location and application.
