It's the best of both worlds as you can drive it EV only for short distances but still have the ability to drive longer distances.
As said above, the engine is only to charge the battery.
It's a HEV, not a BEV. But it's an EV none the less. It has the ability to drive ~100km on battery only, and the engine doesn't drive the wheels, it's used to recharge the battery.
I feel quite bad for people living in the United States. Despite the constant refrain about freedom y'all are actually pretty hindered when it comes to reasonably priced EVs.
On Saturday I put a down on a BYD Shark 6 truck. Hopefully I'll collect it Friday, if not early next week. I'm paying $41,200 USD for the thing brand new.
I saw a MotorTrend review of it last week, they flew down to Mexico City to test one out. The entry level pricing there is $50,060 USD.
Here in Australia they're called the "Raptor Killer" as they will take Ford Ranger Raptors off the line and cost a bit more than half the price of the Raptor.
> Anthropologists in the future will be studying the effects of drastically increased marijuana consumption on society for decades in the future.
This information is already readily available by studying the Rastafari in Jamaica. If there were serious negative impacts from daily consumption over a lifetime it would have been apparent in that cohort for decades.
I don't think most of this data is published, but you might be able to get access to AMSAT-DL data from their 20m dish in Bochum.

Oh dear, you're correct. the 60cm antennas are on the sats themselves. Still, I might be able to get enough signal to see carrier, and maybe more given they'll be coming at us instead of going away next time around.
I look forward to Escapade Blue and Gold returning, I plan to have a look at them with my X band setup. I'm running a 1.2m offset, which is significantly larger than the 60cm Daniel was using here.
I don't believe the Internet Archive would be described as social media. I do believe the quote you provided is referring to the Instagram posts being archived on the Internet Archive, not that the journalist in question expected Instagram to be a sound archive strategy. It's the fact that the posts disappeared on archive.org that's a concern imho, not that Meta arbitrarily deleted a profile.
The US DoD has stated it plans to stop disseminating products from the DMSP constellation that is critical to hurricane forecasting by August. The SatDump team has since spent significant efforts to build out the decoder.
Sorry, but the widely accepted definition of a technical recession is typically identified by two consecutive quarters of negative growth in real gross domestic product (GDP). Tuesday is the cut off date for the quarter and that will determine if the US is in technical recession.
The stock is down nearly 34% this year. Would you be happy with those metrics as an investor and/or board member?
If the CEO of a company you invest in decided to alienate the majority of said company's customer base, would you be happy as an board member?
The primary reason for SpaceX having such a high launch rate is Starlink/Starshield. These launches are largely identical to one another, and are targeting LEO altitudes. The above comments are factually correct.
Historically ULA has been the launch provider of choice for deep space missions.
And I guess the other thing to mention is that x band data often adds up real quick, so it's nowhere near as prevalent in full resolution online. I'm basically surrounded by forest and only get sync on Chinese LEO sats at maybe 35°+ north and then lose sync due to the forest at ~30° elevation south. My resulting true color composites are routinely 400-500MB.
Someone with clear LoS to either horizon can easily produce composites that are over 1GB per image.
Twitter, Derek's SGC's discord (https://discord.gg/7fFFzNsPEF), and Alan's Matrix server are the three main places to find imagery. That and people's own personal web sites. Here's mine.

Please don't criticize my site too much, I've not updated it for ages and historically I used it as a place to dump output from my geostationary satellite stations.
I wouldn't say it's mostly HAMs. More that it's a small community of largely European teenagers and 20 somethings. I say that as someone who found their way into the hobby back during covid and now have up and running L, S, and X band setups.
I don't think most Americans or non-Americans really pay too much attention to school shootings one way or another. But when they see semi-regular news of shootings at schools resulting in large amounts of children being slain they're inclined to think something is wrong in the US.
And when it comes to the pervasiveness of US gun culture and how easy it is to get tooled up over there, they're not wrong. Regardless of implied stat inflation, the US is still the undisputed school shooting champion of the world.
Canarvon is over a 9 hour drive from Perth, and the ABC in the regions is on a shoestring budget as our conservatives think it better to give newstainment talking heads money when compared to actually funding the state backed news broadcaster.
