Watching the racist loons in the UK talking about how they aim to save the British Isles, it seems particularly timely to repeat a simple fact you may not be aware of.

Ireland is not a British isle.

satellite or "hub and spoke" systems....but at a fraction of the cost.
Across the board, DockChain stacks up against anything. Particularly with a solid and reliable DC charger from one of our partner charger manufacturers!

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 4h

al DC can be without DockChain.
At medium and high power levels (200kW+ with trucks or buses), DockChain is, again, just better than normal DC solutions without DockChain.
And then, at medium and high power levels, DockChain usually runs neck-and-neck on kWh deliverability with the high-priced...

DockChain is really THE flexible/optimum EV charging solution across the board.
At lower power levels up to 100-120kW, DockChain is just better than L2/AC charging for cars and light vans.
At medium power levels (around 150-180kW) with cars or light vans, DockChain is just better than norm

My worry is that her sincere opinions are what they are.

On the EU. On Ukraine. On Germany and the whole "it's a bit like the 30s". If she wasn't sincere, that'd be a different problem.

....short journeys. And given the small batteries they run, that's SHORT journeys. There's an improvement compared to normal hybrids and ordinary cars, for sure, but not a lot. As the study details.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 10h

This is hardly news. Hybrids consume - ultimately - almost exactly the same amount of hydrocarbons as a normal car. There are marginal effects on start/stop and they can emit less in urban areas, but this is then compensated for somewhere else.
PHEVs are the same unless they're only ever running...

😂😂...🤨

I suspect that - in reality - we can have more plans and recommendations being made without real action. On this and many other things.

She might not be wrong. But no matter what, those guys in the picture are not the stupid ones.

We are living in one of the stupidest times in history.

My mother uses that word. It's a perfectly acceptable word.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 1d

Why - these days - is Antifa pronounced with a long 'i' and a short 'a'. Surely it's a longish i...anti... then a shortish a.

Anti.
Fa.

I don't get it. Agree with them or not, why the pronunciation?

Entrenched interests are hard to winkle out. Like ticks...

And let's be clear about the extent of the British Isles.

Ireland is not in the British Isles.
Similarly, Britain is not on the shore of the German Ocean. And Maui is not in the Sandwich Islands.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 1d

Indeed....in the British Isles.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 2d

Course it's possible Haughey did that too. Most likely after rather than before. Wouldn't put it past him.

Plus, nothing with Buffy in it was a bad movie.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 3d

Well then don't.

Ireland is not in the British Isles.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 4d

Course you can.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 4d

So they were - in reality - a political party. And pretending not to be.

That's not a winning argument against political parties.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 4d

So they were lying? Parties do that. And they're better at it. More practice.

And the other point is political funding. A related, but separate topic.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 4d

So far it seems to be working fine.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 4d

I would rather that those sociopaths not be in a political party. A political party gives them cover, resources, and - maybe worst - plenty of company.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 4d

What I can practically guarantee with political parties is that the people they select are particularly, specially shit. It's a whole additional level of shit compared to randos. Political parties are where power-hungry sociopathic narcissists go to fit in.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 4d

Given the people that political parties select, your post is downright hilarious. And that's whether or not it's ironic. Just in different ways.
