Slate Auto Plans for Basic, Made in USA EV Pickup

April 25th, 2025

This is a long way from actually happening, but at least someone is trying…

Via: Motortrend:

It’s news to no one that new cars are expensive. Years of rival automakers locked in tit-for-tat battles for higher power, longer range, bigger screens, and just more has led to a steady rise in prices. Even new cars with a low starting MSRP can be hard to find as those that arrive at dealer lots are often stuffed with cost-adding options and accessories.

Slate is here to kick that trend. Its first product will be a small truck that’s shockingly bare-bones. Among the few features within its plastic body are manually adjustable cloth seats, a tiny screen, and—get this—crank windows. Designed and built in the United States with a focus on American-sourced parts, Slate is targeting a starting price of under $20,000 after federal incentives.

India Suspends Indus Water Treaty Following Terrorist Attack, Threatens Pakistan’s Water Supply

April 25th, 2025

Via: Al Jazeera:

In tit-for-tat moves this week, India and Pakistan have entered a strategic standoff following Tuesday’s attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of at least 26 people.

On Wednesday, India downgraded ties with Pakistan, announcing a series of steps, the most important of which is a decision to suspend its participation in the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), which could seriously restrict Pakistan’s water supplies.

Imagine my shock:

It looks crazy/incompetent, but it’s probably more criminal in nature. I seriously wonder if he has a room full of guys front running futures, stocks, options etc. ahead of these moves.

Comedy Gold: UK Blocks Video Game Controller Exports to Russia, Seeking to Thwart Drone Pilots

April 24th, 2025

Yes, really.

Since nearly all video game controllers are made in China, maybe the Russians won’t think of using Aliexpress, or having China directly fly in cargo planes full of them. *snort*

Via: Reuters:

Britain on Thursday said it was banning the export to Russia of video game controllers which can be used to pilot drones, part of its latest package of trade measures following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

“We’re … banning outright video game controllers going to Russia, preventing them from being used to pilot drones on the frontline, meaning gaming consoles will no longer be repurposed to kill in Ukraine,” sanctions minister Stephen Doughty said in a statement.


Japan: World’s First Successful Lightning Triggering and Guiding Using a Drone

This might also be useful for defending against attacks from King Ghidorah:

NTT has become the first in the world to successfully trigger and guide lightning using a drone. This experiment also demonstrated, under natural lightning conditions, the effectiveness of both the drone’s lightning protection technology and the electric field-based lightning triggering method. These results are expected to contribute to further research on the still-mysterious mechanisms of lightning and to help reduce lightning-related damage to cities and people.

Traditionally, lightning protection has relied heavily on lightning rods. However, their protective range is limited, and in some cases—such as wind turbines or outdoor event venues—it may not be feasible to install them. At NTT, we are exploring the use of rapidly advancing drone technology to create a new approach: “drone-triggered lightning”. This method involves flying drones into optimal positions beneath thunderclouds to actively trigger lightning strikes, and then guiding the discharge safely away from vulnerable areas.

Britain: “Experiments to Dim the Sun Will Be Approved Within Weeks”

April 23rd, 2025

Via: Telegraph:

Experiments to dim sunlight to fight global warming will be given the green light by the Government within weeks.

Outdoor field trials which could include injecting aerosols into the atmosphere, or brightening clouds to reflect sunshine, are being considered by scientists as a way to prevent runaway climate change.

Aria, the Government’s advanced research and invention funding agency, has set aside £50 million for projects, which will be announced in the coming weeks.
