My mate told me something that has to be nonsense.

That if you are plugged up to a charging point and the grid is low on power they are legally allowed to drain your battery

Well done Tam, enjoy your new home!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How far is your commute to work? Doing your bit for climate change?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Quite far. My work is in the middle of nowhere, so you don't have a choice but to commute. I have an electric car as of the new year though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I really enjoy driving them tbh, had to get used to auto tho
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm mostly looking forward to how quiet it is for when I listen to my podcasts on the way to work.

Sounds like an awful idea even if it was possible, the car would just be stuck there

10 - 20 years. Basically how long a car lasts now.

Big speech from Macron today about a big reform of Europe. Some interesting proposals in place, thread below.

Are these EV's cheaper to run than oil engines?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

My running costs are likely to drop by 70-80% I think. Dependant on energy cost I guess.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess you will save on servicing as well. 👍

What is the life of the battery supposed to be?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It has an 8 year warranty on the battery. I likely won't have it for that long.

Tam how much you paying a month for it? And is it the Hyundai?

Seems very strange indeed saying both of these things, but congratulations to Tam on his move to Somerset, and congratulations to Arab for finally tying the knot.

Good luck to you both

Just completed on my house, so I have now officially moved to Somerset.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mine has taken waaaay too long, and I got married on Friday too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Congrats dude! I hope you had a nice day!

I've been engaged for what feels like an eternity!

Speaking to miss Hawk - we are considering about eloping. Neither of us are that bothered regarding the ceremony.

We are though thinking about the disappointment about getting hitched without the traditional wedding. As I doubt our relatives and friends will be so happy.

Oh wow wild black hawk appears

You doing ok?

I actually commented on the thread last week!

And yes, I am good thank you! Just a little fed up with restrictions!

I have read that you are in Mexico? How have things been for you?

Also, last year you introduced me to HasanAbi through the thread. Been watching a little bit of his stuff from time to time. He is quite entertaining!

I only just posted again on here recently. OP got me with the name change

Post on haven , Oscar runs it now

Leftie streaming/YouTube is so fractured now since the Jimmy Dore stuff

Honestly it’s reached the point where Vaush is the lowest drama commentator

BH, have you seen Benji Shapiro's rant against HasanAbi? Worth a listen.

I understand that Dore is some kind of anti-vax youtuber now?

I was never into his channel at its peak, but it's still quite surprising. I assume he is doing it for channel growth, as there are now so many left wing youtube channels out there.

I only know Vaush from name tbh. I do know he is quite popular as a progressive streamer - I have no idea on the quality of his content.

I enjoy HasanAbi for the same reason some might enjoy Rogan. I don't consider him a genius at all, but he is still pretty engaging. And he fills the space when it comes to day to day reactions of the constant news cycle.

Jimmy dore was a big part of tyt and more of a hardline Bernie supporter

They got into a disagreement over Assad and the reported chemical attacks

It got very ugly and ended with Ana accusing jimmy of harassment when they worked together

Kulinski got dragged into it and now literally none of them talk to each other anymore

And yeah jimmy has gone the same way as Glen greenwald now

I have not!

As I have never heard him say anything worth listening to!

And thats not because he is conservative - there are plenty of people I dislike who are still quite fine engage with (like for example, JP).

Still, it might be interesting looking up whatever nonsense he has said now lol!

Hasan is pretty much progressive joe rogan yeah, and he admits as much. Don’t think he’d work as an interviewer tho

I was not aware that Kulinski was involved some how.

At a glance - whatever Dore is doing now seems really cynical. He might be becoming radicalised, but I feels it is more likely that he is trying to keep is channel alive.

Jimmy fundamentally is a drama hawk

Agreed.

His style is overall very different. It's been teased that Grimes might make her way to his channel stream.

I would absolutely love to see this happen. Mostly, as she is quite frankly delusional, and Hasan would have little patience for any of it.
