contestants, especially ones that do really good, don't typically ring in unless they already know what they're going to give for an answer. ringing in when you don't know the answer and hoping it will come to you in the second or two you have to say something after you rung in is a very bad strategy.

I mean he was 43/46 yesterday and is 211/241 overall.

The real killer for me is the people facing him are letting him hunt for the Daily Doubles.

Like yesterday, Matt was running through the bottom of the board (including the triple stumper), but then Dana got the last one on the bottom right, and then immediately went for the $400 clue in the same category? Why the fuck?

So not to stir the pot, but do people still actually buy the Capitol Police claims that they had no idea or warning something could happen?

Because apparently Romney was told by Angus King who was told by Mark Milley that there was the possibility of violence.

So if the Capitol Police really didn't know, either they specifically and intentionally were not told or specific members of their leadership actively chose to not do anything about it.

This HDD vs. SSD battle is starting to look like another manufactured hype scheme brought out by both Sony and Microsoft to go alongside RTX.

You mean to tell me, that my 2TB WD Passport which has been supporting both my PS4 and PS5 interchangeably is a piece of shit compared to an SSD with same storage capacity? Answer is obviously yes but load times are still for the most part managed by internal PS5 processing and memory and it's not that bad either. Why spend an egregious amount of $$$ for better reading/writing speeds...


Without SSDs something like the new Ratchet and Clank game would be impossible to pull off at the quality it is. The only other way to run it would be to downgrade it to like 480p, remove all textures, and load a whole level into the RAM before you play it.

As the generation goes on we're obviously going to end up with more and more games that require near-instantaneous loading so I'm not sure what your issue is.

So the beach is real and actually does cause people to age like crazy.

But there's a team of medical researchers using the people who go to the beach (which is near a resort) as test subjects for drugs. The people take the drug and then it allows the researchers to see how the drug impacts people over their entire lifetime in only a single day.

TopicToyota is pushing Congress to slow the shift to electric vehicles
Bio1590

Shocker, Toyota's in the news again for being a piece of shit company

https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/26/22594235/toyota-lobbying-dc-ev-congress-biden-donation

The US is slowing moving toward adopting policies that would put more electric vehicles on the road, but for Toyota, its not slow enough. The Japanese automaker, which is the largest car company in the world, has been quietly lobbying policymakers in Washington, DC to resist the urge to transition to an all-electric future partly because Toyota is lagging behind the rest of industry in making that transition itself.

According to The New York Times, a top Toyota executive has met with congressional leaders behind closed doors in recent weeks to advocate against the Biden administrations plans to spend billions of dollars to incentivize the shift to EVs. The executive, Chris Reynolds, has argued that hybrids, like the Toyota Prius, as well as hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles should also be in the mix.

In addition, Toyota is also pushing back against EV-friendly policy through the auto industrys main DC-based lobbying group, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation. The group, which represents the major car companies and their suppliers and is chaired by Reynolds, has been arguing against the Biden administrations plan to adopt the so-called California compromise as its official position, the Times reports.

Last year, a group of car companies made a deal on tailpipe emissions with California, which had been seeking to set tougher rules than the US as a whole. Under President Donald Trump, the Environmental Protection Agency had sought to strip California of its power to set its own emissions standards. But under Biden, that rule was reversed, allowing California and other states to impose tougher standards.

Toyota, which sided with the Trump administration in its battle with California, was not part of the original compromise. And the company has argued against EV-friendly policies in India and in its native country, Japan, as well.

Toyotas behind-the-scene efforts to slow the momentum behind EV-friendly policies is surprising, given its status as an early adopter of battery-powered transportation. With the release of the Toyota Prius in 1997, the company helped pave the way for Tesla and others by proving that vehicles with alternative powertrains could be immensely popular. And more recently, the automaker has revealed plans to release 70 new models by 2025, including battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and gas-electric hybrids.

But that doesnt hide the fact that Toyota has fallen far behind its competitors, appearing content to rest on its laurels while the rest of the industry has lapped it several times. Companies like Nissan, General Motors, and Volkswagen have been selling pure battery-electric vehicles for years, while also revealing their plans to phase out gas cars completely. And Toyotas failure to embrace EVs is not a new concept; The New York Times noted as much in this article from 2009.

Toyotas top executives, including billionaire CEO Akio Toyoda, have been on the record calling the trend toward electric vehicles overhyped in part because of emissions associated with power plants which is a favorite talking point used by the oil and gas industry.

The company came under fire recently after it was revealed that it was the largest corporate donor to Republican lawmakers who objected to the certification of the 2020 presidential election. A majority of those politicians also dispute the scientific consensus on climate change. Toyota initially defended the contributions, but then later said it would halt them. You know things are bad for the company when a Toyota spokesperson has to confirm to the Times that the automaker does indeed believe that climate change is real.

Toyotas argument that hybrids and fuel-cell vehicles should also be included in the conversation is not a bad one. Hybrid vehicles in particular are an important stepping stone to the wider adoption of EVs, especially as the charging infrastructure is still in its infancy.

But that argument might carry more weight if the automakers track record on fuel economy was actually, well, good. According to the EPA, Toyota has slipped in its ranking in fuel efficiency across its entire fleet, going from an industry leader to near the bottom with GM and Ford. This comes as the company has pushed the sale of huge gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs, which tend to command a larger profit than smaller sedans and hatchbacks.

I registered the product with the serial numbers on the buds on the Samsung website, and they still had a warranty on them, and they work with the official app, so they were legit.

See Amazon Warehouse is legit. I buy shit off it in Canada all the time. I got Monster Hunter Rise for $30 off a week after it released and I just got P5 Strikers for Switch for $30 SEALED (lowest it's gone in Canada is $45).
