In Europe you have an extensive electrified passenger network that’s easy to supply with electrical facilities due to a general lack of remote areas.

Many rail networks in the world have these areas where it is incredibly expensive to install electricity and they also don’t have the privilege of having invested in electrification for a century. There’s really not a good way to just electrify part of a network if mainlines are going through areas where electrical rolling stock can’t/won’t be served.

Lol the electrification circlejerk is coming for me even outside of rail subs.

Electrification is not the only solution! It is really fucking expensive and only justified by medium to high volume lines. It requires installation of new electrical facilities in potentially remote or environmentally sensitive areas. It’s also an longterm process that can’t be done globally by the time we need to deal with emissions, because you can’t use electric rolling stock for a 99% complete route. That basically writes off any freight because nobody is ever going to pay for electrifying industrial spurs. They’d just pave over them and use trucks.

Long-distance trains are already testing on line afaik.

He is not in jail for using customer funds for political donations. He’s in jail for loaning customer funds to his investment group. That’s why he’s being charged with securities fraud rather than theft. It also completely changes the legal dynamic on whose property the donations were.

The big thing was Alameda made money from investing with FTX customer funds, meaning they could lose them if their investments went bust (and they did). But I don’t believe FTX revenues themselves (the source of the donations) were ever the property of others.

The money wasn’t stolen. The vast majority of company revenue wasn’t derived fraudulently. It is alameda that benefitted, rather than FTX. An FTX without fraud would still have been able to make those donations.

I don’t think anybody is alleging customer funds were used for donations?

In what world does every single vehicle just not get plugged in? Charging is not much more complex than locking a car

This sounds like a bot 99%

As long as every religion has a chance to be represented in a non-intrusive, appropriate manner, I don’t see the problem. I have no idea if that’s the case in Pennsylvania.

How do you propose we do that?

At least part of that cost is because it didn’t have the economies of scale or investment HFCs do. 2/3rds of congress wouldn’t pass a law on a subject this contentious if they had any points to score.

Well now you can come here and get some for 200$!

You can only break your addiction if you’re still alive. This is a good step towards helping.

This is a huge win if it works, and if it doesn’t then the EU charger will be used.

SIM slots are easier to change than power/data ports no? They’d also have to redo internal wiring and interfaces for every single one of their products that take lightning rather than just phones.
