And many of them had other improved features, such as actually being made for the climate they were built in.

As strange as it might sound, it might have been done for Ye's benefit rather than to actually silence him. Dudes uh, angering a lot of extremely powerful people in an extremely public way

You forget that China also has a history of very violent rebellions.

Uh, google kinda stops people from making another app store for android by virtue of mandating that all android phones must have the google play store on it.

My only opposition to the death penalty is that it is carried out by an entity i have very little trust in.

Sort of, my understanding of lithium batteries is that they are using ionic lithium, which is similar to lithium metal but far more reactive, but this also depends on the exact chemical substrate that the battery happens to use.

As a slight aside, lithium battery fires are an extreme issue to put out, because they are simultaneously a metal, chemical, and electrical fire. Thus if it catches fire, its usually self-sustaining until the fuel runs out, regardless of what you do to it. Oh and the smoke that fire produces is often rather toxic, varying depending on the substrate used.

This is quite unlike a gasoline fire, which is usually just a chemical fire, and thus can be smothered.

Praising his good takes does not mean that they are excusing his bad ones.

Lithium is extremely reactive to oxygen, simply exposing it to open air is enough for it to catch fire, and even potentially explode

Lithium is capable of spontaneous combustion, just on its own. So it is by far more dangerous than gas

I keep saying this, if a race war happens between blacks and whites, they aren't going to care if you are Jewish. The only metric they will judge on is melanin content, and that is all.

In some fairness I can understand why they wouldn't want to have it set to their real name, especially if that account is representing a business or online identity.

I mean, I somewhat understand the starlink thing....he pissed off not just Ukraine....but the Pentagon and EU at large....

The Pentagon has a habit of uh...dealing with problems if you catch my drift.

Force your enemy to live by their own standards, while you yourself ignore those very same standards. Even more-so if those standards are draconian and/or idiotic.

Honestly, I think that is part of the reason why christianity has the whole "suicide is a guaranteed ticket to hell" thing.

I am not so sure they "failed" anymore, because this looks like it is their actual goal.

I mean, they do dominate WNBA games whenever they are on the field from what little I have seen.....doubts as to her actually being what she says she is aside....

Yes, however its a bit more complicated then that. You see, the left is allowed to do their violent actions in large part because it is state-sanctioned violence.

The moment you or I get violent, the state will get violent in turn. Thus, the only real way you are going to get any form of success out of such an action, is to convince a pretty decent chunk of people to also get violent too.
