They typically serve four year terms. When any president begins their term the entire board will have been appointed by the previous administration. Now if games were played to make most of the terms expire at the end of the term that's also not okay under any means.

Totally agree that it is just something being thrown around to little benefit. That said don't compare catalytic converter materials to what they are talking about in EVs. The quantities needed are orders of magnitude different. The easier thing to talk about that gets glossed over is all of the energy expended to extract fossil fuels in the first place.

Bison behave differently than cows do. This is only anectodal, but that's the start of collecting some actual data to back it up.

That is incorrect, there isn't a single state in the United States where the highest paid state employee is the governor. They are mostly coaches at state universities, and where they aren't they are upper tier member's of the state university system.

Yeah using German translations is a well known simple strategy to see how your site handles longer word length, because of the language characteristics.

It will do a good job of pointing out places where you haven't built in adequate flexibility for longer words. It's not perfect of course, there are times when a translated word is shorter, but it is a nice real world test of the basic flexibility of your page layout.

I keep wondering why the US Strategic Command needs a social media presence. Is that just me?

> Well, that's absolutely false, actually, Zack. There is no way that a customer would not be able to sell a position they hold. We are simply stopping opening of new positions.

This is a problematic statement. Because to sell your position there has to be buyers, and the only buyers who were allowed at the table suddenly were those who wanted to pay significantly less then the stock had recently been trading at.

I think you are drastically misunderstanding the Nikola/GM deal. It is absolutely no lose for GM. If somehow Nikola takes off then they are supplying them with batteries and some other expertise they have. If it doesn't then the monetary investment, at GM's scale, was nominal. (Basically, if GM makes a mistake on a new car model)

I think the market is drastically underestimating how seriously the entrenched automakers are taking electric. They are coming from behind for sure, but I think one of the things you see consistently with Tesla is they are still very much trying to figure out the manufacturing and logistics pieces of building cars (rolling out new lines, scaling them, etc). The existing automakers know how to do all that. Are they going to make mistakes? Sure, but in 5 years you will see dozens of electric models spread through out them, and that will hurt Tesla.

Free trial is a bit different then what the parent was describing though. Which is paying for a month and turning off auto-renew effectively.

Speaking as an owner of a small car (Honda Civic), and 3 children in need of car seats (a Slimfit Graco which is a bit wider then the one you listed, but 2 of them are now in boosters which are narrower to begin with.) The problem isn't always pure width.

The rear seats in are contoured, for comfort reasons, in such a way that you need to put things under one side of the seat to level them out properly. And then the seats are so close together that leaving access to the seatbelt sockets for the children in boosters to access. So simplistic looks like this give you a really inaccurate picture of the problem.

I will also go further and say that even in larger vehicles getting 3 seats across any single row is hard. Adding a 3rd row doesn't even necessarily solve all of the problems if there isn't an easy path out if you have two kids needing 5 point harnesses done by the parent. Those seats block the folding exit mechanism that a lot of 3rd row vehicles use to let passengers in the rear row exit. You would have to remove a seat entirely to let that action work.
