The optimism that the fascists will allow their opponents to speak is amusing.

And the notion that even if they do, that the media corporations will cover it unspun is even less likely.

There has been a lot of discourse as to whether it would happen at all due to the periodic "seasons" of small earthquakes the region gets. The idea being that maybe the pressure will be released slowly over time.

The recent quakes that were noticed do stick out of the curve a bit, but they are still very weak ones and are consistent with a gradual release.

It is worth noting that there have been 25 detected quakes in the region in the last 2 weeks.

Of specific note is funding and structure, Then in activities section.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is a shadowy nonprofit that has regularly worked to: • suppress native rights and claims • fight against gun legislation • fight against gas and oil taxes.
• fight against public health care

Also they are part of the Atlas Network, a global chain of right wing conservative "think tanks" that include such fantastic groups like the far right Fraser Institute that pushes to abolish public education and the Cato Institute that is literally one of the lobbying arms of the Koch group.

F-150 has a turning radius of 27.3 feet, length of 232 inches, width of 80 inches. Hummer EV has a turning radius of 37 feet, length of 206 inches, width of 93.7 inches Rivian R1T has a turning radius of 22.3 feet, length of 217 inches width of 81.8

Cybertruck has a turning radius of 43.5 feet, length of 231 inches, width of 77 inches.

Okay, so the length "advantage" it has over the F-150 is roughly 0.4% of their length.

It is very slightly thinner than its competition, but its turning radius is 18% larger than its nearest competitor, which is the absolutely massive Hummer EV

In compairson to the f-150, it is 60% larger, and only has a bed capacity of 52.2 cubic feet(within the roller door) compared to the F150s 52.8 cubic feet.

Cybertruck bed capacity made from calculating the area of the bed that fits inside the roller door and tailgate.

It has a whole new set of flaws that result in the same outcome.

Saw one in daylight for the first time yesterday. They're so big they don't fit in Costco's ridiculously oversized parking stalls.

You need to go further back than just 1500.

Western European thoughts on this were heavily influenced by the Ottoman and Byzantine empires.

Which were in turn based on the Roman empire.

Which were in turn based on the Classical Greeks, particularly those of Athens.

To exclusively blame western Europeans for this, when they were nearly wiped out by the Roman empire colonialism, is very short sighted.

Its important for them to preserve any chance of profit that may be squeezed from old games.
