General question to the thread:

Why do you believe that Sinema does the things she does? What is her motivation?

She's an rear end in a top hat, OP. She's an rear end in a top hat.

Since people were asking a couple days ago, Jalopnik has made a list of every new car currently that gets the full EV credit.

https://jalopnik.com/every-ev-that-qualifies-for-the-inflation-reduction-act-1849391274


The Leaf is on its way out for what it's worth.

Does this mean EVs which qualify today will have that status stripped once the bill is signed? Thinking of say Hyundai's Ionic 5/6, and Nexo, as well as Polestar 1/2.

I'm a little surprised A4 didn't lean into convenient numbers and go 200mm x 300mm, but 297/210 is about the square root of 2 so I guess they considered that more important.

The following amicus request was apparently also filed:

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.618763/gov.uscourts.flsd.618763.41.1_1.pdf

Reviewing the DOJ filing, nothing too surprising (though some of the language is more informal than I'd expect for DOJ).

They seem to be a little sick of his poo poo.

I also wonder if our grid can handle most of the energy currently provided by hydrocarbons shifting instead to electricity.

I think it'll be fine, given that EVs generally trickle-charge at night when the baseload electricity demand is low. Obviously here in California the grid is having, uh, issues with peak load this week, but even with extremely high minimum temperatures this week the load at 4AM is on par with what we see in February.

Big challenge is getting the hell away from natural gas, but that's of course a global problem.

I hear ya. I live an apartment and the sun will swallow the earth before they put chargers in here, so I drive a fuel cell vehicle :shrug:

That poo poo's gonna have to be mandated out, which means it's only going to happen on the coast if we're lucky, and like Colorado. Sucks.

It’s not like you can get gas in most parking spaces either. We just have to make it possible to recover significant range in just a few minutes at the nearest electricity station

Bring back drive-in movies and carhops, with chargers at every spot.

Does anyone know what the causes of the staffing shortage are and if it's feasible to scale up hires in a timely basis given the skilled labor pool?

loving lol

Like when I needed TS/SCI I lucked out and got it in like three weeks, but that was back in 1997 and even then I was an incredibly boring person who never even smoked weed. For other ppl in my class it took well over a year.

Good loving game.

I'd love to know (a) Who typed that up, (b) who translated it, (c) who approved that horrendous kerning on the left fold, and (d) why the hell anyone would think the listed benefits for asylum seekers are a bad thing.

This is the dumbest poo poo because it's such an easy messaging victory for Biden. If I was in charge of his appearance schedule, I'd say he should meet them on the tarmac when they land for a photo op. It won't happen but it would be such an easy win.

It does seem like something that would make more sense ahead of the primary than the general. The redhats have been talking about doing this for over a decade of course, but I don't think we're yet at the point where it sits right with the general electorate, at least while such a thing still exists.

It must be really stressful to be president when a random errant thought can declassify all of the nation’s secrets. What if everything was already declassified because at some point some president thought about it for for a split second but just never told anyone?

Digging up Grover Cleveland to see if his corpse may have declassified anything
