Funny thing, in the live chat next to the James Webb telescope launch, they are debating whether Earth is flat or not... I've seen the curvature of the earth with my own eyes after I was in a team who performed a space balloon experiment. I had immediate access to the raw footage from launch (on which I could see myself) - edge of space - landing after its success. But even without this small hands on evidence there would have been no doubt in my mind, obviously. If anyone still believes the earth is flat they are incredibly stupid or just want something to be what it is definitely not for whatever reason I guess. Maybe it's easier to comprehend for some people the earth is flat because that is how we mostly perceive it ourselves without having to resort to maths, experimentation or recent conclusive evidence. It's like flies which live for only one day. How would they possibly know about the daily sun setting and rising sequence or have any notion of seasons when they cannot experience these and where communication fails to comprehend such a thing. Maybe flat earthers hunger back to a simpler time. My guess is they would probably be more interested in gold than Bitcoin also if that is the case.

This is the big problem with electric cars: Once the powertrain warranty is out, the value of the car is pretty much zero. Gas engines can go 200k miles and can be fixed without a full replacement.
I remember in 2005 the roads were full of Gen 1 Priuses. Then they started to just disappear, and now I doubt anyone has seem one in years. Why? Battery pack blowing out and while you can swap it for a couple of thousand, most people just junked em.
It's a problem.
Not to defend Tesla here - horrible build quality and Musk is a smug asshole - but their batteries can last 200k-300k, I've seen quite a few with that mileage. And Model S is supposedly a luxury car that can do 0-60 in like 4 seconds, so that $22k should be compared to maybe M5 or E63 engine replacement? Plus there are battery repair options available, just not in Finland apparently. Anyway, we're at peak dinosaur juice technology, and electric stuff will only get better. Edit - grammar. It was $21k to have my XJS v12 rebuilt in the 90's. It got a Chevy 350.

Maybe that Santa will come back to life at Easter and help that giant creepy bunny hide colorful eggs in flower bed....
.....
I'll have one double spiked eggnog, please ... and hold the eggnog....Ty....
Cheers and happy holidays bros. And ffs, don't discuss BTC at the family dinner party. If Grandma or cousin Mel brings it up, you have a perfect pivoting ploy..to wit... "bitcoin??!.... oh that is soooo last year....Hey how about that James Webb thingy eh? Science is awesome!!"

Misophonia....
<googles Misophonia.... > Huh! I never knew there was a term for that. I think my family suffered from it. It manifested at the dinner table if I let a nasty one rip..... Or sing a wee bit... that might trigger such misophonia amongst your associates, family or otherwise. Merry Christmas sirazimuth... nohomo..
