This dialogue will be a classic:

Prosecution: - ...and shall deliver documents confirming reasons for non reporting on police station as part of probation...

Navalny: - Coma! Once again: coma involves staying in a bed without consciousness initially, then staying in bed after regaining consciousness, then learning how to walk, for a very long time. You were notified I'm undergoing therapy and then rehabilitation. Is that insufficient?

Warto też zwrócić uwagę na to, że z analogicznym paradoksem programowym mieliśmy do czynienia w XX wieku. Program polityczny marksistów-leninistów i narodowych socjalistów miał masę elementów wspólnych, w tym absolutnie fundamentalne - kult siły, opcja zerowa, rewolucja, kolektywizm, sprzeciw wobec "zgniłe inteligencji" i skrajny trybalizm. Tyle, że u marksistów ten pierwszy był wyznaczony po linii klasowej, u nazistów - rasowej.

Zależy co zdefiniujemy jako "taktyczne".

Skrajna prawica z Polski i Rosji ma więcej wspólnych wartości niż różnic - zachowanie za wszelką cenę tradycyjnej struktury społecznej, roli religii, walka z modernizacją, kult silnego przywodztwa i silnego państwa. Stąd współpraca portali prawicowych i Ordo Iuris z rosyjskimi fundacjami konserwatywnymi.

Fakt, że tu są prawosławni a tam katolicy wydaje się jakoś nikomu specjalnie nie przeszkadzać.

Pecunia non olet 😉

P.S. I was thinking this is a fake but then I've read biography of Sami al-Jundi, one of founders of the Baath party:

And I'm quite sensitive to semantics around this, because I've been watching VRE (variable renewable energy) market for the last decade, and it's hard to find any other place so much driven by hype. Tesla battery farm in Australia was trumped as some kind of revolution. In reality with its 150 MWh capacity it has practically zero impact on the whole grid whose annual capacity is measured in PWh, and happily continues to run on coal.

> Ton of battery R&D still needed to be able to bring EV costs down

That's my very point from the very beginning. The thing with engineering is that you can't say someone *made* a breakthrough until it actually has been made, otherwise it's just PR like cold fusion. Ford indeed did it, Musk didn't. Maybe he will in the future, but as of today we can't say that.

@cjd

All EV available on the market (at least in UK), and there's now a dozen of them, have a theoretical range of ~150 km and can be at best classified as city cars suitable for commuting. The battery cost seems to be the primary factor here - if they extended the range, their cars would cost as much as Tesla, and that market segment is already taken by Tesla.

@cjd

Ford made cars specifically for the mass market - I struggle to see how Tesla is even near to this category?
