US mobilised for war in Vietnam that was millions of miles away. There were massive protests and crackdowns. There is nothing new.

And Vietnam war was considered an utter failure

it's easy to get a similar range. you can even buy a Tesla battery separately and build your own car or use it as a power bank for solar. their technology can easily be stolen. they have pioneered battery tech and there is a new battery tech coming out soon. that will be next year. people at Uni can make an electric car that can beat the range of tesla. but can you have both range and Performance? Tesla's cars are beating Lamboginis and Bugatties in the performance drag races. and with somewhere updates, you can still milk more performance out of the Cars.

its the other way around. others are buying Tesla cars and tearing it apart.

I believe electric car will beat Lamborghini and co simply because they don't wait for fuel injection and combustion to accelerate. My cousin Nissan Leaf picks up speed at the click of a finger so there is no gainsaying that an electric can beat a high performance car in a short race, or be developed to do so over a longer race. I finally entered Tesla Model Y this summer and my guy showed me all the technology. So far as self driving is not on board, I don't see anything other car companies will not match quickly, if not already. I'm yet to enter any EV other than 2013 Nissan Leaf to confirm but I doubt others will be lagging behind, besides a lot of those differentials are optional extras that the average man wont pay for. If memory serves, he said he didn't pay for the summons option where you summon your car to come to you, neither would I. I take your point on battery performance though, but I don't think Tesla has two heads anymore that Panasonic can match Energiser on longevity of AA batteries if they really mean it, and want to sell at Energizer price point.

All Hydrogen needs to do is prove they can produce Hydrogen at lower carbon footprint than Electricity per KWH and develop fuel stations. Don't underrate Oyibos capacity to buy whatever is the greenest. From the way I'm seeing EVs proliferating on the street this year, I doubt any Oyinbo man will buy diesel in 4 years time for a new car. And if Hydrogen proves greener than EV, the same phenomenon will occur. Car financing makes it easy for Westerners to switch technology and type of car every 3 or 4 years

benalvino3:
how many years did it take them to match or exceed their range?

also, Tesla Cars are performance cars while the competition is not. To make a performance car, their electric motor has to trade take a hit on efficiency and yet Tesla is at a sweet spot where Performance and range are good.

The range is not all that matters. if you know how Batteries work and how they deplete you will not be saying this. it is like a marathon race. you cannot go too fast to conserve energy. that way you can go a lot more miles at the cost of time compared to someone who sprints.

Hydrogen cars are dead. With EV there is no point. it is almost as green as Gasoline cars. it takes too much energy to make hydrogen.
it cost more than 5times to even make a filling station compared to gasoline and compared to EV charging stations, it cost more than 10times

All these sound like the same Tesla marketing spiel that told me it would take forever for other car companies to produce EVs but here I am just two years later. 1 in every 2 2022 plate car I'm seeing now is an EV, even Skoda and Vauxhall get am. I no believe say Tesla get two head, all na marketing, just like I couldn't believe any company will have better phone UI than Blackberry in 2008, only for Android to flood the market at cheap price and better UI.

Hydrogen would come down with advancement in technology and mass production, or at the very least Hydrogen would become part of the energy mix that produces electricity for us to charge our EVs.

Everything is expensive when it first comes out, market forces will bring it down. No need paying for novelty. Just like when Curve TVs came out and niggas were rushing to buy it at £2k, I knew I would buy it for £400 within a couple of years. Even OLED TV will some guys bought at £10k is coming under £1k now and will drop further.

benalvino3:
if you know anything about tesla cars, you won't be saying the nonsense you are saying.

Except Hydrogen is a total failure and before EVs hydrogen was said to be the future. Bush admin even put 1.5 billion for R& D but it failed miserably.

Nobody talks about it anymore despite hydrogen cars being on the market since 1968. Yes, there were hydrogen cars on the road back then

to buy cars are expensive. I think only 2 to 3 companies make them. toyota, Hyundai, and I can't remember the last. have you tried buying hydrogen? it will cost at least $100 to fill a tank.

when it comes to how Green it is, it's not that better compared to gasoline.

rather than hydrogen, EVs makes more sense.

I stand to be corrected. Unlike you, I don't argue what I don't know, I can only speak for what matters to me. I am not interested in any technology in EV except how many miles it can do on a full charge and as far as other car companies like Mercedes are even beating Tesla for range, that's all that matters to me, not some AI "technology" or story, but practicality on how many miles the car can do. My colleague told me two years ago that other car companies don't have the factory setup to build EV cars, nor the brain to compress so much energy into a battery as Tesla, today I am seeing EV everywhere, some with similar or higher range.

Price of Hydrogen like everything else, I believe will fall with mass consumption and technological progress.

The first people to.order that Toyota Mirai and break it apart will be the other car companies

That's how Tesla fooled us that their EV technology is too far advanced for other companies to catch up until all companies released an EV with similar range last year

Hydrogen looks much more promising than EV. I would keep riding my diesel until Hydrogen market is developed with fuel stations everywhere

Elimon:
Ther is something I noticed... Really funny but it's Avery terrible reality of the Media

When Ukrainian war started... Ukrainian Army stopped men (conscripts and azov Nazis included) from leaving the country, forced most of them to volunteer even when they didn't want to fight. We all read about it. But the Narrative was different. BBC called then 'heroes and saviours' now most of them are dead because they were rag tag and unprepared and most death went unreported, because MMS always want to keep a clean propaganda narrative

FAST forward to yesterday... Russia is recruiting its citizens also. Boom! MMS moved to say all kinds of bvllshvt, Calling them weak, rag tag, oppression regime, etc. But that's the same thing Zelensky and Nato did in Ukraine in February, forcing people to fight a war they didn't cause. They went on, Spreading lies about mass border movement to Hungary! And other things

The thing is... MMS is working for the West, Twitter, fb, Instagram, ect. If ur neutral is this event, avoid MMS and their social Media uploads... It's all bunch of lies and face-down stories.

If you were not a naive fool you will know that every country has automatic mobilisation when the country is attacked or invaded, however mobilisation for invasion of a different country is highly unusual, an admission of failure and a despot putting his citizens lives at risk for his own ego

This Baba knows how to win favour. A patient and wise operator. After war is done, his good records will be put on file in the West

Been thinking about this a lot since I heard it during Lizzy’s funeral

So someone wakes up every morning 365 days, for the past 30 years, goes to an adjoining room and plays bagpipe music to wake lizzy up as if that wasn’t pathetic enough, the commentator also said that he does it no matter what, doesn’t even bother to confirm if she is awake or even in the room

Same lamba they dropped almost 5 years ago.

Till people see planes flying nobody is concerned with una tales by moonlight.

2nd Niger bridge is only slightly longer than Ikoyi link bridge btw. Less than 2km

2km is a lot for a bridge na. It's not only a bridge but the link roads that span out from the bridge

BentizilL:
Baba no dey cap, ottoman lost most of the southern Territories to Russia...
I mention places that are part of ottoman empire that they lost to Russia, you're busy mentioning Bosporus.

If you follow the argument, we are discussing why Russia did not have unfettered access to the Mediterranean sea in order to take colonies by sea. Not whatever nonsense you are talking about above. No time.

who go buy this rubbish ,I rather spend that money for either vinicius or rodrygo ,Madrid youngsters are more effective than that of Barca

That €90m is more or less the same amount that was spent on ACL injury returnee Fofana

BentizilL:
Russia conquer the ottoman, that's a historical facts that cannot be changed...
And It occurs several times in history...
Volga, Crimea and a few modern day Russia land were conqueried from Ottomans.

We are talking about passing through Bosphorous strait in middle of Istanbul, you are talking about Volga, Crimea and such

For your information, during the Colonial period, Russia had LOST the Crimea War to the Ottomans (supported by Britain and France) in the 1850s and were in handcuffs in the Black Sea till the 20th century. This period is the period of the scramble for Africa.

Shoodboi:
The same time Europe was taking blacks as slaves. Anytime a rich European slaveowner entered Russia with a slave, the slave instantly got his/her freedom. There was the case of a Hausa slave that got his freedom this way. I don't remember his name but I know there is a Wikipedia article about him.

I asked because slavery was abolished in England in 1807 and slaves used to be freed upon accompanying their masters to England, so.I want to see if your example is in keeping with this time period.

hammerT:
OTTOMAN NEVER BARRED RUSSIA, STOP TALKING NONSENSE.



RUSSIA HAD ACCESS TO SEA AND COULD HAVE SAILED TO AFRICA, LIKE THE WESTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.


RUSSIA DESTROYED THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AFTER THE LATTER TRIED TO INVADE AND CONQUER THEM.


IT WAS STILL THE SAME RUSSIA THAT DESTROYED NAZI GERMANY FATER THE LATTER TRIED TO INVADE THEM

Russia never defeated the Ottoman empire decisively to pass through the Bosphorous strait into the Mediterranean and onto Africa. They have been fighting for 400 years until World War 1 and Russia never had freedom or control of Istanbul where ships must pass. By the time Russia started entering the Mediterranean was well into the 20th century after all the colonisation of Africa was said and done. Russia was never a seafaring nation as Turkey blockade ensured they have to go over the top to get access to the new world, and that sea is a long and uneconomical journey, twice as long, and frozen half of the year. I have said enough.

Shoodboi:
This is interesting. But how then do you explain Russia's policy of freeing black slaves that entered Russia with their masters?

In what time period, let me check whether it's different to Europe at the time.

hammerT:
MAYBE, U ARE A WHITEMEN.


ME, AM AN AFRICAN, AND IS WHAT CONCERN ME THAT I CONCERN MYSELF WITH.


OTTOMAN EMPIRE U ARE CALLING HERO, TOOK SLAVES FROM AFRICA AND GOT SERVED BREAKFAST, WHEN THEY TRIED TO CONQUER RUSSIA.



U NO SABI HISTORY. EWU!

I never called Ottoman empire hero. I am responsible for what I write, not what you understand. I simply said Ottoman barred Russia from moving through the black sea and that's why Russia never participated in colonisation of Africa and Americas, instead choosing to colonise Eastern Europe and EurAsia region which they could reach by land, because Ottoman ensured Russia could never be a seafaring nation during the Colonial era.

Belleful:
Imagine Putin calling for peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan, but he is killing innocent people in Ukraine. He even sent his soldiers there for peace mission. No be juju be that?
Truth be told, if not for Russia's nuclear weapons, they are no match for USA.

Armenia chose Russia as their protector against the Azeris and they are regretting it. Azerbaijan is giving them wotowoto

hammerT:
WHO DEM COLONIZE?


WHO THEM ENSLAVE?


DID THEY REACH AFRICA? NO!

Are Africans the only people on earth

Who you think say all dem Dagestan, Chechnyans, Caucus people be?

They can't reach Africa cos Ottoman Empire blockaded them from the Black Sea and their only see access is Baring sea across the North Pole area which is.mostly frozen and a long journey. Go and read book

hammerT:
GERMANICS ARE WORST. HITLER WAS A GERMAN.


THE SLAVS, ARE THE STRONGEST EUROPEANS AND WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.

HOWEVER, WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT THEM, IS THEY NEVER COLONIZED OT PARTICIPATE IN SLAVERY.

Slavs colonised all their surrounding regions and practiced slavery until 1906. They didn't get to Africa because they have little sea access except through the Baring sea which is a long route and frozen half the year

ponyonm:
He probably has a disease he is suffering from. There are lots of other soldiers released. Do they all look like this? If they all have same look, then we can conclude they were tortured or ill treated. But you can't use one picture from thousands of soldiers captured, to sell this narrative that they are being tortured. It won't fly.

Update: just checked all the comments and no one seems to even have the IQ to compare his pic with other released prisoners. All of you just swallowed the story like that... Is that how you guys just believe anything you see on the internet?

So you can't see cigarette burns on the bridge of his nose. This guy done chop torture, you dey speak grammar

try swift keyboard by Microsoft. it has AI which studies how you type and make predictions or corrections automatically for you.

Anyway, PPI it is...

So after typing PPI, Microsoft changed it to CPI for you? A search of your moniker with CPI shows you have never typed CPI in your life on this forum for Microsoft to predict anything for you. Just say the concept is new to you than blaming Bill Gates as usual. Bill Gates gave you Covid, and also made you misspell PPI. Odiegwu!

Holiness2100:
Yesterday, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called the Saudi crown prince and thanked him for successfully mediating the prisoner exchange deal with Russia. Bin Salman got an appetite and offered to continue mediating between the parties. MBS understands very well that if he succeeds where others have failed, he will buy his world in the international arena.

(Rio Kais)

If I'm those British POW, I would send thank you letter to MBS and request an audience to personally thank him via Saudi Embassy. I'm sure he would love the publicity while some more blessings may fall on me

benalvino3:
Sharap there. I meant PPI. Typo.

you are so good but yet all your projections trying to support biden are wrong.

You meant PPI and wrote CPI? I didn't know Android keyboard automatically switches the two.

You better stop talking about things you are clueless about.

benalvino3:
German CPI rose 45.8% YoY, much more than the 37.2% expected. In Europe, it's hard to see a peak in inflation. Expect higher inflation rates down the road.

i hope they are preparing more cheques to fight inflation. the last one they handout did not work

When they say you are economically clueless, you will start shouting.

Does German CPI growing 45.8% sound remotely plausible to anyone that went to school? Even without knowing CPI number, anyone with sense that sees such a number for German CPI will immediately call bullshit. Even Umudike with runaway inflation will struggle to put such a number forward as YoY CPI growth in it's worst year.

You are a boneheaded clueless eediot. German CPI YoY is 8%.

afrodoc2:
That's true. I remember it was the alcohol that finished him though there were concerns about his diet and lifestyle even before that.

I don't think the same thing happened to Del Piero. On the contrary he had some of his best seasons after his father's death.

Del Piero had a late resurgence later in his career but went down after his father's illness for like 7 years from 1998. 1997/98 Del Piero was almost neck and neck with Ronaldo at the top

afrodoc2:
The Emperor loved cake too much.

That 2006 Brazil team under-performed.

Nah it was alcohol after his father's death that took him out

Del Piero experienced similar after his fathers death and fell off the stage

SunTzu123:
Strategically, this is the right time to stir up insurrection in Russia and initiate a regime change! Putin is going from one blunder to another; signs of a weakened dictator getting desperate. I think his (Putin's) end is near. Please I neither support Ukraine or Russia. I'm just analysing the situation.

Most of the good men who can lead such a thing are either in jail, dead or have fled the country. Only former FSB guys dey close to power now
