The brain renewal concept could have applications such as treating stroke victims

If this can restore functions to stroke victims again, it's absolutely amazing.
If this is vastly successful which remains to be seen, there might be a path format to the longevity part of the idea.

Obviously people don't usually drive very far for work or shopping, but many do maybe every weekend or once or twice per month take a longer trip to visit family or for leisure.
The car needs to be able to handle that, without being a huge pain to have to charge all the time.

The idea that 90% of trips are short range is moronic, unless people have multiple cars, which most people don't unless they need to, and even then short range can be a problem, because dependency on the cars, means that both cars need to be able to fulfill the required tasks.

the electric car market in Europe is “in deep trouble.”

Stellantis doesn't really have any attractive offerings IMO, among all their popular European brands Peugeot, Citroen, FIAT and Opel, they don't have a single model in the top 20 here!!
All these brands used to be very popular in Denmark, but EV has passed 50%, and everything Stelantis EV simply sucks, they have too little range and are too expensive. AFAIK every Stelantis of the 4 above brands are based on the same platform, and the same battery, and it's simply not good enough.

But it's not just Stelantis, even Toyota is out of top 10, their best seller is a petrol/benzin car at #12. The worlds biggest automaker only has 2 models in top 20, And none among EV top 10.

What's really out is hybrids, the top selling hybrid only sell half of the lowest on the top 20!

I have no idea what your point is here, Democrats have supported this for a long time, but have been blocked by republicans in Congress.
You complain about $7.25, now you complain doubling it isn't enough. And you throw around speculations as if they are points for your position.

$15 may not be a lot, but it's obviously A LOT better than $7.25.

That's a bullshit argument, when Harris clearly supports raising the minimum wage.
I agree it's long overdue, like decades overdue. But Harris has clearly stated she wants it increased.

Harris at Aug. 10 Nevada campaign event:

When I am president, we will continue our fight for working families of America, including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,

I'm not personally a fan of the tip thing, that's a stupid idea IMO, but the minimum wage, absolutely needs to be way higher.

At her campaign 2020 Harris supported increasing minimum wage to $15,-.

Yes the guy in the photo looks like a priest, and FSB has taken control of the Russian Orthodox church.
That's just one way Russia is influencing previous Soviet states. Hopefully Russia will fail, if not now, then when they lose the war against Ukraine.

Her plan to help families with a fixed amount to buy a house for example, is more help to people with less money than rich people.
From your previous comments it seems like even AOC wouldn't be left wing enough for you? Because even AOC is fundamentally in favor of a regulated free market capitalism as the economic basis for society, much like social democrats in Scandinavia.

sad we may never get technologically advanced due to capitalism

Ah yes, communist countries have always been pinnacles of technological advancement, and making it available to the public.
I have no idea how you can make such a statement, and keep a straight face. But maybe you aren't?

The way to end fracking for good, is to provide enough sustainable energy, Kamala Harris has explicitly stated that she will work towards that.
I agree more effort on environment would be beter, but this is probably the best we can realistically get right now.
And between the 2 options, there is zero doubt that Kamala Harris is working towards the right goals, and Trump is not.

I thought they didn't want to be part of Russia. But WTF is the difference the way they behave?

Russia has launched an offensive into the Kharkiv region, and it has created a lot of alarmist news reports. In reality it is difficult to see what Russia's plan is, and it is not self-evident that it is a smart use of resources. In this video I discuss whether we might be seeing a return to the fragmented command structures that Russia had in the beginning of the war.

My old $200 Motorola G9 Power phone lasted almost 4 years with only very minor scratches. Obviously in that period I have dropped it a few times getting out of the car, where the phone sometimes work itself out of my pant pocket while I drive, and then it slips out when I get out of the car. But no problem on my previous phones, despite the Moto had cheap Panda glass front.

Then I bought my $800 glass back Xiaomi 13T Pro in January, and I loved the phone for the camera and good specs. But alas after only 4 months, and single drop of just 30 cm while sitting on the porch, the glass back immediately cracked! The back now looks like an ugly mess, and the high water resistance is very likely gone too.

For sure the last time I buy a phone with a glass back!!!

I wonder why glass back is so popular, and I curse the media for reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S2 as "feeling a bit cheap", because the back was synthetic, and drop tests showed it was 10 times as durable as the iPhone with its glass back.

Samsung did it right in the beginning, glass backs are a curse.

PS: I don't use condoms for my phones, if they need that for daily use, it's an obvious design flaw!!!

The glass back is supposedly there to give a premium feel to the phone. But because it's fragile, people have to use a cover, but with the cover, the premium feel of a glass back is gone anyways?
How is glass back not a design flaw?

EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION:

I am not clumsy, that's why I believe the phone should be able to last without cover. This was the first time the phone slid out of my packet, and I've NEVER dropped it out of my hands. One 30 cm slip and it's broken. Where for instance my Moto had maybe 4-6 in all over the years, and remained unscathed, apart from some tiny scratches.
The sliding out of pocket does occur maybe a couple of times per year, but it's a low drop, and the phone should absolutely be able to handle that tiny drop, as it's an item for everyday use.
I've also never had problems with scratches on my screen on any phone, which is the reason people use screen protectors I guess, which I don't either, because they are ugly, for instance they create a tiny ring around the camera, and they feel awful IMO, my phone came with it, and it took exactly 10 seconds for me to decide to remove it, because I could feel the edge of the screen protector when using the phone.
But please stop with the dropping my phone regularly comments! Just because I dropped my Moto a few times (slid out of pocket) over almost 4 years! Always from low height, which it should be able to handle a few times.
