Absolutely waste but with insufficient accountability. I don't understand how or why shareholders haven't sued him into penury. Taking political positions as a business figure is inherently fraught with risk, but then taking extreme political positions, openly flaunting drug use, and suggesting human decency is weakness is bloody weird and insane that will only lead to hubris. I don't want to know a CEO's religion or…

That salute was too much even for the AfD. That it's not obvious to every American is an indicator of just how thoroughly boiled are we frogs.

Covert bigots with self-awareness are more worrying than the overt ones lacking it because they try hard to pretend to simulate normal civility while knowing their symbols and ideals are still widely repugnant that they avoid any association with them while accumulating legitimacy and political power.

People lacking empathy and believing they are better than others indeed represent the tao of fascism, and cannot be bargained with or appeased into cooperative, pro-social participation. Neville Chamberlain made that mistake that plunged the world into a more costlier war.

Might I also suggest that expressing self-fulfilling prophecy, learned helpless, demotivating doubt and doom is both untrue and doesn't help advance individual or collective power, hope, or change. IOW, the "we're cooked" pattern behavior people fail to see how their selfish compulsion for unfiltered self-expression harms the cause of change and harms others by demotivating them.

EV batteries charge much faster from 10% or 20% to 60%, maybe somewhat higher than that. Going from 20% to 80% typically takes as long as going from 80% to 100% and so standard advice is never to charge to 100% unless you absolutely have to. Every model has a charging curve, which I've never seen a manufacturer provide but some reviews do their own.

I drive an EV, I asked because the comment genuinely didn’t make sense to me.

You're right that the poster used V when they meant KW but the Level 3 DC Charging Curve graph shows what I think they're describing: their EV charged at over 200 KW until the battery reached about 46%, then it slowed significantly again at 62 or 63%. Maybe TMI, sorry if so.

I'll confirm I meant KW not V for the charging numbers

The Ioniq 6 (Hyundai EV platform generally), charge from 20-80% in about 20m, which is on their 800v DC architecture
