Wasn’t Cornwell based on a character from TOS, specifically with the same name as an episode title in DIS?

I always felt there was the intent to kill her off, (even before the S2 finale) only to bring her back as an incomplete being.

If this is a joke, it’s going over my head. But as I understand it:

Geek: Socially Acceptable, Really smart about a particular topic, or in general. Nerd: Socially awkward, really smart about a topic or in general. Dork: Socially awkward, not especially bright.

The linked article has the same headline, as per the rules here.

Maybe maybe not? At the very least least it tells us where Carl dropped Georgiou off.

Damn… Alabama of all places. That’s about as Bible Belt as you get.

Every year being the hottest year on record has been the norm for awhile now…

Say I believed the earth is flat, and provided 'well documented science' that the earth is flat. Who's to say that I shouldn't be doing that? Or what if in social studies class I provided proof that men were superior to women?

The law is clearly in the moral wrong in our current situation, but in general it provides more protections than it does harm. The problem isn't with Tennessee vs Scopes. The problem is with the Republican agenda.

It's not about the material in question, it's about if a state employed teacher has the right to override the curriculum. They do not.

I would recommend two pins.

One being the season one you’re proposing… and a second for a focal episode to discuss and cycle it out every two days.

So for the first two days we’d focus on the first episode (episodes? It’s a two parter) then the pin would be swapped with the next episode.

This would allow more in depth discussion while acknowledging binge watching.

I feel like this is a large portion of the missing puzzle pieces. The difference between real world and advertised ICE stats are somewhat padded, but not significantly. You'd expect the hybrids to have a similar degree of discrepancy, but it's wildly out of range of expectations. It may simply be that the manufacturers are giving idealized stats, since while testing they would have access to their personal charger in a laboratory environment. But in the real world, owners cannot guarantee working/accessable chargers or even that they can charge at home, which would dramatically impact the results of this study.

Or at least, I'd assume that's the case in the US. I don't know what EU's charging infrastructure is like, where the study was preformed.

TBH, the most astonishing reveal from the study for me was that Hybrid owners weren’t charging their vehicles. Unfortunately, the why isn’t covered in the study since it seems to just be hard math and statistical analysis.

Are they just not plugging in at night?

Too frustrated with the battery draining too quickly?

Driving too far for the battery to meaningfully contribute between charges?

Is the extra hardware mass making the ICE that much less efficient?

Laziness from having to fill both the battery and the gas tank?

To be fair, I’m really just judging the EC’s article writer. Not the trustworthiness of EC or the study itself.

When I saw the headline, I thought this was clickbait, since the headline and the linked article avoided quantifying how much CO2 the vehicles said they consumed vs the real world usage.

If you dig into the cited materials, it turns out it wasn’t hyperbole.

That said, I still consider it extremely poor form to omit the information the study was centering its argument around.

Yes, and I personally would rather avoid paying a premium over the electricity I can get at home. If I intend to stick to that, then I have to be prepared for when Murphy shows his unwelcome face.

Mmm. Did Russia even need to incite it, or just toss gasoline on the flames that are already burning?

There are reasonable reasons for wanting a greater range than you expect to use on a regular basis. Not the least of which is a power outage or your own home charger choosing an inopportune moment to kick the bucket, as you are your own gas station manager.

Again, my question stands, what if he ignores the monitor and posts bond? What’s preventing him from just doing what he wants?

What happens if Trump simply disregards the monitor, and posts bond?

Can’t read the article since it wants me to disable my adblocker, and that ain’t happening.

But, if the campaign is skewing African American women… then why does the billboard for this article depict a white woman?
