This sounds seriously impressive:

With a sleek exterior, impressive spec sheet and an approximately starting price of AUD $54,000, the YU7 is a direct threat to BYD, Zeekr and Tesla.

At over 5 metres long the SUV is offered in three variants – Standard, Pro and Max.

The standard offers 235kW ...

All trade talks with Canada cancelled, new tariffs incoming, who couldn't have predicted that?

His huge ugly bill is going to the senate. I imagine the tax cuts will excite the stock market, pushing it to an irrational high. Then the tariffs and ...

That's prescient for me. I just had a beery conversation with chums about how genocide in gaza has replaced climate change...oh and some fake war in Iran, and Israel and their ridiculous god's real estate allotment and Trump and also cost of living and interest rates...and...and so on...

The air and sea temperatures and the disappearing sea ice are by now familiar signs the climate problem could be much worse than we had assumed.

Netanyahu is insane.

I remember when the world's most insane country, North Korea got nukes, and it was a disturbing moment. Iran, a candidate for the world's second most insane country, is well on the way. The already nuclear armed countries, including Israel, Russia and the US, are becoming ...
