Re: Russia can’t even defend their borders at this point.

Did you think that was a real photo of DC? Do you want to see some real ones, or is your position that cities didn’t burn in our recent summer of love? Google is your friend My position is that specific photo was obviously fake and if you had a good point, you should back it up with evidence from r...

100% EV for the US is a pipe dream..

5 min every week or two vs. 30 min a few times a year when you travel over 300 miles. EV drivers probably spend less time charging on the road than the average ICE drive does at gas stations.

Re: Daylight Saving Time - yay or nay?

Yay. Almost everyone thinks changing the clocks is bad because it annoys us for the 2 weekends a year when we have to do it and we don't notice the benefit the remainder of the year. Permanent daylight savings was tried and people hated it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2022/03/18/daylight-...
