More cushin' for the pushin', Mark!
hahaha big, beautiful women get love too <3 True story: I used to work with the woman who fought her case to the Supreme Court of California and won, making it illegal in California to discriminate against someone based upon their weight when their obesity problem is due to an underlying medical problem for employment purposes (http://scholarship.law.berkeley.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1429&context=californialawreview). I think it's incredibly unfair to simply write off their weight problem as a lack of work ethic or hedonistic desire for food regardless of its health impact (which, actually, aren't that bad https://www.nih.gov/news-event... in the grand scheme of things -- smokers, alcoholics, drug abusers, etc I'm sure are far worse off). https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Re:Battery swap, not charge
Okay, do you need specifically a customer car? I did mention that they were never commercially deployed, right?
Video of the battery swap:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...Well, to be fair you don't know if they just removed and plopped the battery back in, but the lift was lowered long enough to do a swap.
Besides, given that the cooling system is sealed, you're actually talking about more effort to fake than just swapping. Because you'd need to somehow tap into the cooling lines, as well as run a super-heavy duty cable to do the charging.

Re: How nice of Facebook to take time out of...

The only other thing it means is "made of iron" or "resembling iron".
Irony does not mean "unexpected". It's not even a stretch of the definition. It's applying the word to a completely different meaning. Irony's core meaning is derived from eiron, which means dissembler. Irony is 100% about intended meaning and definitions differing.
Note that using "irony" incorrectly is not itself ironic unless you specifically intend to use the word against its definition. You can't be ironic accidentally.
Next you'll try to trot out "common usage" or "language evolves". If we blindly follow common usage and accept errors as valid, our endgame will be filled with nothing but grunts and emoji. As language evolves, it also devolves.
Before you rush to Google, "dramatic irony" is simply irony applied to a dramatic work, wherein a character is unaware of the irony present in the plot. The audience may or may not be aware of the true meaning, though dramatic irony is typically pretty heavy handed so even a first timer will pick up on it.

Re:No
Wikipedia defines it as "an idiom popularized by Jon Hein that was used to describe the moment in the evolution of a television show when it begins a decline in quality, signaled by a particular scene, episode, or aspect of a show in which the writers use some type of gimmick in an attempt to keep viewers' interest, which is taken as a sign of desperation, and is seen by viewers to be the point at which the show strayed irretrievably from its original formula", so I'd say it's close enough.
Personally, I'd have gone with "Screwed the pooch" or "Shit the bed".
But you forgot the originating reference. It's makes no sense without that.

Re:Gets popcorn...
why should we not as a species work to reduce our impacts everywhere?
Because we control the weather now. So, we should simply increase our control to master the planet. That's what chemtrails are, BTW. Also we dump iron dust into the oceans causing algae blooms in order to sequester CO2.... and then a bunch of morons say the algae is caused by climate change, when in reality we are actively geoengineering this planet.
Wooo Hoo! What a great time to be alive! Except, everyone is shitting themselves over propaganda. Just relax. Everything is going to be fine. I haven't even mentioned how NEXRAD systems are used to create thermal differentials... Oh, we keep this stuff out of the mainstream media because when we accidentally flood Houston or cause California's engineered drought to go a little too far, then people would want to sue someone for damages. It's a pain in the ass to save the fucking planet all the damn time, but whatever. Bottom line is: You're a moron if you think we should STOP the geoengineering projects that maintain our planet.

Re:Biased
Unfortunately that's not right. The left does actually NOT say "mind your own fucking business". It says "I tell you what fucking business you should mind!" and more important "I also tell you what business you MUST NOT mind".
And that's where I had to detach myself from being "left". I do not feel that I have the right to tell people what they are allowed to fucking THINK.
This is a perfect example of why a one dimensional left/right -divide is utterly useless. I live in a globally very heavily to the left country (Finland) and adhere to many leftist ideas such as the universal health care and education systems we have here, as well as progressive taxation etc...
However, I do not buy into, nor support, any of the SJW crap about forcing people to feel/think/speak a certain way, and I say this as a part of one of the minorities (disabled since birth) that this crowd so often claims to be defending. There are loads of us. If you look at popular anti-SJW youtube chnalles such as Sargon of Akkad who has over 300 000 subscribers and over 74 000 000 views with numerous videos critizing and debunking this SJW thoughtcrime BS, and you take a look at the channel demographics, you'll note that the vast majority (55 %) of his viewership falls into the same category as the man himself (and me as well): a left-leaning libertarian. Ie. people who do not believe in letting the free markets decide over anything and everything, and believe the state serves as an important factor in making sure people's basic needs are met etc, but still at the same time maintain that individuals are free to say what they want, enjoy whatever substances they want etc... The authoritarian left of which you speak of is not just opposed by the right, but by a large quantity of us leftists ourselves, as one of the Sargon videos I linked above well puts it, the modern day SJW crowd has become very similar to the authoritarian right.
So no, there is no one 'The Left' anymore than there is one "The Right". The political field is much wider than that and we should all know that at this point. The political compass is a good tarting point to rid yourself of the tubelike vision that all members of left/right think alike or uniformly, I recommend checking it out if you haven't already,

Re:This is what happens...
This is what happens when you don't build the Yucca Mountain (or equivalent) long-term waste-storage facility. The waste just sits somewhere else, even more vulnerable and more at risk of damaging the environment in both the short and long term.
This is also what happens when people do studies with an outcome in mind, and don't understand the risks to begin with. They claim the NRC failed to include security risks in their recent rulings, but they failed to mention that the NRC has fully considered those risks elsewhere, so they didn't need to be included. That one oversight is a demonstration of incompetence in understanding the regulatory structure. They also completely fail to state a credible path for such a terror attack to be successful.
They claim that a fuel pool accident will cause widespread evacuations. In fact, even in a major fuel pool accident that should be unnecessary. The wording in the report says 'might', because they don't have enough of a case to say 'will' or even 'is likely to'. They fail to recognize that most of the older fuel rods are not a threat, and the more recent rods are the concern, and those are manageable with simple measures. They don't even state the post accident measures that are available, nor even acknowledge they exist.
And as usual, the underlying basis is a completely skewed misperception of radiation risk. They are doing more damage creating fear than fixing an imagined disaster. Every one of them should spend a little time learning what we know now. Here is a great start;
