Supreme Court overturns Chevron decision, curtailing federal agencies' power in major shift
  • That’s because they’re more interested in staying in the news cycle than actually doing their jobs.

    If you want “good” representatives that at least do the job they’re hired to do, PLEASE pay closer attention to the people you’re voting for in your district/state. That goes for everyone regardless of political affiliation.

  • Weird: DeSantis signed a law requiring hospitals to ask patients about immigration status and suddenly Medicaid spending on illegal immigrants plummeted
  • This is actually horrible for Florida’s economy and the health of many residents.

    Also if you actually read the article this one is based on, you would see that there isn’t a direct correlation between this law and the Medicaid savings. Two data points aren’t always as directly related as headlines can make it seem.

  • Pilot union suggests phasing out masculine terms, says 'cockpit,' 'father' is offensive to DEI culture
  • What’s funny is words really only have the power we give them. If we want to move off terms that might be construed as offensive, it’s literally as easy as choosing the replacement and using that instead.

    But that simple fact freaks people out so much they have to write bullshit articles like this because they’re mad over a word. Not just the word itself, but that the word might be offensive or insensitive to some and that isn’t enough reason for them for it to be changed.

    To that I say GFY, changing usage of a term to be more inclusive is not a big enough deal to be that mad about.

  • Professors: Asian women like white men due to ‘internalized racism’ | The College Fix
  • This article basically says “because white people are put up on a pedestal in modern society interracial couples are just based on internalized racism from perceiving white people as superior.”

    That was paraphrased, but essentially the same message the article is telling.

    A couple points to that:

    • Find me a single interracial couple who thinks this (the article simply guesses they exist)
    • There was no evidence supplied beyond supposed perceptions
    • white people are in fact prioritized in modern society but the article doesn’t go far enough to explain the notion of a romantic racial bias based on that

    Also I wouldn’t trust this source very much. Just because it’s conservative doesn’t mean it’s accurate: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-college-fix/

    Maybe the name “the college fix” should’ve warned you that it’s not the most trustworthy publication.

    Honestly it gives really scary “keep the bloodline pure” vibe, as if no interracial couples can exist without some level of internal racism. Can’t people just like…..love each other? Good god.

  • Left wing fact checker admits Trump never called Charlottesville neo-Nazis ‘very fine people’
  • Here’s a clip of him confirming he said it, and defending himself saying it while praising Robert E Lee:

    Also the article focuses on the statement that trump said he wasn’t talking about neo-nazis, but you can see in the link I shared here that he never specifically made the distinction. He just deflected to Lee.

  • Donald Trump, Immigration Expansionist
  • I mean I know that he’s dishonest and doesn’t give a shit about immigrant workers but I’m sharing it here for discussion amongst the conservative community because this goes against rhetoric I typically hear from Conservatives about immigration. I’m curious to know how they process this.

    Trump’s ‘staple a green card to every diploma’ scheme would turn every university (and community college) into a citizenship-selling machine.

    tl;dr DJT now thinks any foreign student who graduates from a US institution should be given a green card.

    Disney Executive Caught on Tape: ‘There’s No Way We’re Hiring a White Man'
  • lol once again, a conservative source taking a quote out of context.

    The full quote was that they wouldn’t hire white men for specific roles.

    Which makes sense, not every role is going to a fit for a white man.

    Goddamn y’all are so sensitive and reactionary sometimes.

    Biden admin to ban medical debt from credit reports, loan decisions: reports

    The Biden administration will propose a new rule to ban credit score companies from considering medical debt when they compile Americans' credit reports.

    Biden admin to ban medical debt from credit reports, loan decisions: reports

    "Our research shows that medical bills on your credit report aren't even predictive of whether you'll repay another type of loan. That means people's credit scores are being unjustly and inappropriately harmed by this practice," Chopra told the outlet in an interview.

    Trying to calculate rate of degradation, can someone please check my math?

    Hi! Hope these posts are ok to make. Math was never my strong suit so I just want to check what I think is a pretty decent degradation rate for my 3 year old EV.

    I can’t charge at home and have had to rely on public charging, which until recently was mostly DCFC at ~50 kw. Occasionally (a few times a year), I might do a couple cycles of DCFC at a faster rate while road-tripping.

    With that in mind, my math shows my 77kwh battery (82kwh usable) has degraded 1.82% in terms of experience and actual range lost.

    The way I figured this was to calculate that my most recent charge from 36-73% delivered a little over 28 kWh, which means a 37% charge is 28kwh.

    This makes 10% = ~7.56kwh

    7.56 x 10 = ~75.6kwh.

    75.6kwh is 98.18% of 77.

    While the full rate of degradation is above 8%, the usable degradation is less than 2% over 3 years of almost exclusively DCFC. That’s not too bad, right?
