Familiar green / amber / red traffic lights share this problem.
Incandescent bulbs generated enough waste heat to melt snow that could obscure the visual signal.
LED reduces the waste heat, saving electricity. BUT ...

In the 1950's the notion of a 4 door pickup truck might have seemed farcical.

The terms idiot, imbecile, moron, and their derivatives were formerly used as technical descriptors in medical, educational, and regulatory contexts. These uses were broadly rejected by the close of the 20th century and are now considered offensive.

Not to flaunt a prissy delicacy about not insulting our national leader.
Instead, reckless, casual, promiscuous gratuitous insult of Trump may be a crowd pleaser among domestic conservatives, and international allies.

The reality is Trump may be a publicity genius. Idiot savant? Trump has learned, has demonstrated he can exchange his own credibility for success, Trump can / has lied his way to the top
again.
Faustian bargain it may be, but one Trump has clearly already made.
The risk of simple name-calling here, it displaces more constructive, more insightful dialogue at time of acute crisis.

It's a textbook blunder to underestimate ones adversary.
We don't have to like Trump.
But denying Trump's skill, or even distracting from it with dismissive insult can impair the rational segment of Earth's human population in mitigating the MAGA marauders.

So what are Trump's true intentions?

On FOX News Sunday this morning Senator Tim Kaine [D-VA] asserted the Trump administration's intention in slashing government is to translate the "$savings" into tax cuts for the wealthy: "crony capitalism".
Yet in #1,691 billiejoearmstrong has us snickering at renaming water.

Meanwhile the wholesale, substantially illegal transformation of U.S. federal government is not merely unmentioned in #1,691, it distracts from it.

Similarly perhaps, Melania looks like an attractive woman. Perhaps Trump's preference for attractive women is the flip side of Trump's deplorable preference in men.

Interesting.
Alarming.
But inconclusive in my opinion.
How does the cyber-truck compare to other comparable EV ?

Li / ion has a proclivity for spontaneous combustion.
Petro-fuels may have the greater energy density. But gasoline or diesel needs an ignition source. Li / ion doesn't.
