@The_Frost_Boss The Saudis should just do a hostile takeover at this point. You know they'll bring back the F-40.

The United States has about 169 active volcanoes, according to the USGS. Most are in Alaska (dozens erupt or show unrest regularly), with others in Hawaii, California, Washington, Oregon, and a few more states/territories. Europe has its share too (Iceland, Italy, etc.), but the US leads in raw numbers.

@nazzobetweeting @Juna_Marique Oh and you know what Europe has that the US doesn't? Active fucking volcanoes 👍 Iceland had one blow and it killed people in France although it killed people in New York 2 so i suppose.you claim that as your own

Un policía 👮🏻‍♂️ que sí sabe para qué sirve un arma 💯💥 Enfrentamiento armado y una lucha cuerpo a cuerpo entre un Trooper (agente) de la Policía Estatal de Michigan y un sospechoso armado. Justin Cope (relativamente nuevo en el cargo, solo unos meses de experiencia), detuvo a Stephen Mason por exceso de velocidad. Al pedirle al conductor (Mason) que se bajara del camión, este dejó caer accidentalmente un revólver que llevaba oculto. Inmediatamente se desató una pelea violenta por el control del arma. El sospechoso logró disparar 3 veces al trooper (dos de ellos a quemarropa en el pecho). El trooper, que era cinturón azul en Jiu-Jitsu y entrenaba consistentemente, usó sus habilidades de grappling para defenderse y controlar el arma lo mejor posible. Finalmente, el trooper disparó y mató al sospechoso. El trooper fue herido pero sobrevivió (gracias en parte al chaleco antibalas y su entrenamiento). El sospechoso murió en el lugar. La fiscalía de Michigan determinó que el trooper actuó en legítima defensa, por lo que no enfrentó cargos 🥊💥🔥

So, jokes aside, to understand why the heat is worse in the UK than say Arizona for example, the answer is quite long... First it's the Humidity, it's far higher here. The UK's island location and prevailing south-westerly winds bring moist sea air, so heatwaves are often humid rather than dry. In contrast, many of the hottest US states (e.g., Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico) have dry desert heat where sweat evaporates quickly, so you actually feel cooler despite higher temperatures. Even humid US regions (like the Southeast) usually have widespread air conditioning to offset it. Second, the buildings and Infrastructure that we have all are designed to Trap Heat, not Release It. UK homes are built for cold, damp winters: thick brick/stone walls, heavy insulation, small windows, and designs that retain warmth. During a heatwave, they turn into ovens, solar gain through windows builds up, and there is poor ventilation or passive cooling features like overhangs, shutters, or light-coloured roofs. Plus, poor air conditioning: Only about 5% of UK homes have AC (vs. ~90% in the US). It's not standard because it's rarely needed most of the year, but during spikes it's a nightmare. Also, retrofitting is expensive and tricky in old terraced houses or listed buildings. This extended to public transport, schools, offices, and even hospitals as they often lack cooling. Finally, most importantly, we have zero acclimatisation. Meaning it's just as hot at night as it is during the day. Britons aren't physiologically or culturally used to sustained heat. We're properly white! So, a sudden jump from typical UK summer temps feels extreme, and the body struggles more without gradual adaptation. Heatwaves often bring "tropical nights" (temps staying above 20 °C), so homes don't cool down overnight. You can't sleep, recover, or anything which just compounds fatigue, dehydration, etc. Drier US heat often cools significantly at night. That is all topped up with the fact that we have longer summer daylight at the UK's higher latitude meaning more hours of solar heating. Hope this long explanation that no one wanted clears this right up...

@Space_morty @grok @batteryscott @drtheglide @ICannot_Enough @Geoffa30 Not sure what you we're trying to prove with this, but the numbers for this year so far show a rebound, no decline YoY. And they bear BYD to boot. But in the end, car sales won't matter much anymore, since they won't be the biggest profit generator for Tesla for much longer.

@LeadingReport Did that in the 70s. It was a disaster as people can't go to bed in the summer (sun doesn't set till 10 p.m.) and people won't see the sun in the winter (doesn't rise till 9 a.m. and sets at 5 p.m.). Standard Time should be permanent.

Ferrari has just officially unveiled its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce. • Starting price: $640,000 • Interior co-designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive • Range: 280 miles (expected EPA) • Peak charging speed: 350kW • 122 kWh battery • 1,050 horsepower • 0-60mph: 2.4s • 800v • Four-door four-seater • Four electric motors • OLED screens • Weight: 4,982 lbs • Front motors spin to 30,000 rpm, rears hit 25,500 rpm • Car uses an accelerometer to capture real vibrations from the electric motors & rear chassis. An algorithm filters out unpleasant frequencies and amplifies only the more “musical” sounds. This can be heard inside and outside the car. • Paddle shifter on steering wheel changes how aggressively torque is delivered, with five different levels • The trunk has 21.1 cubic feet of space, the largest luggage capacity the company has ever offered • 197.6 inches long, about as long as a Tesla Model S U.S. deliveries start in Q2 2027.
