I mean they did nab Venezuela's oil right before all of this. They may be using the Iran war to throw a wrench into global supply and thus make Venezuelan oil more attractive. The geopolitical value of Venezuela's oil undoubtedly spiked at the onset of the war.

Lmao you're doing God's work out here rehabilitating the totenkopf's image. Just.... why? Other than the obvious reason...
I still see it as a just a pirate symbol.
Do you also call everyone that owns a dog a Nazi
Holy mental gymnastics, batman. He was a fighter, a WWII buff, a marine, a mercenary, who bragged about "fun wars", and got a Nazi tattoo in a former Nazi-aligned state, and beyond universal healthcare, he really isn't even terribly progressive or radical. If the boot fits....
This bizarre type of simping for milquetoast, neoliberal, suspicious candidates is how y'all keep ending up with the likes of Hillary and Biden - who inevitably cede their power to increasingly right-leaning candidates. This refusal to demand better for the Democrats (and further, admonishing those that do) is how we keep diving deeper into the fascist decay.
Just a matter of time until one of these "once-in-a-lifetime" climate events triggers a positive feedback loop within an understudied or unconsidered corner of climate science.
1-Million-Mile (1.8-million-kilometer) batteries
After 2 million kilometers (1.25 million miles), CATL’s EV batteries retained about 400 km (250 mi) of range. Competitor cells, on the other hand, retained considerably less, at around 350 km (218 mi) and less.
The data is based on 12 electric vehicles, 100 sample batteries, and real-world applications across four major cities in China. You can see in the chart from Morgan Stanley Research that Models 11 and 12, which use CATL batteries, exhibit considerably slower degradation than the other suppliers.

What leads you to believe that CATL has been unsuccessful at achieving a 1 million mile battery?
I appreciate you posting this, and I truly enjoy the gag, but can I just shake my fist for a moment and whine about the modern state of overused captions on memes? Back in my day, this was the meme, plain and simple:
No need for any of these takes/captions from netizens. It seems like these days, any given meme is below 4 or 5 levels of reddit title -> the retweeter -> the person quoting the retweet -> the person memeing on the retweet quoter...
Anyway, thanks for letting me be crochety and vent. Like I said, love the gag (as well as all of your other splendid posts, so thanks for posting)
Yes, there is. Based of a plethora of sources - some more reputable than others.

I mean I know that. I never said it was an easy switch.
It is a costly, cumbersome process. What better way to make this costly, cumbersome process more attractive than to put a chokehold on global oil supply?
