Ukraine doesn't need to beg for Storm Shadows or Tomahawks these days. They've made their own long range cruise missiles. Given the advances in technology, they are probably better and cheaper.

That's one ugly logo trophy thing.

Check out the battery prices.

eBay has no name batteries of higher capacity for cheap.

Gotta be careful since lithium ion batteries will catch fire, especially the cheap ones.

Yes, battery-powered (cordless electric) lawn mowers have been involved in fires, primarily due to lithium-ion battery issues, though the overall risk remains relatively low compared to the large number in use.

Why It HappensLithium-ion batteries power most modern battery mowers. They can enter thermal runaway (a self-sustaining overheating reaction) due to:Manufacturing defects (e.g., faulty connectors, circuit boards).
Damage, punctures, or exposure to extreme heat/cold.
Overcharging, leaving on charger too long, or using incompatible chargers.
Poor ventilation, clogged vents, or storage in high temperatures.
Physical wear over time.

Fires often start during or right after charging, but can also occur during use or storage. Lithium-ion fires are hard to extinguish, produce toxic fumes, and can reignite.

The obvious answer is to flood the market with more supply, but in places like NYC that’s so hard without delivering it at a luxury level that drives pricing even further.

I love LOLing at all things Mamdani, but I don’t know how you fix what’s going on in NYC for anything close to affordable rent.

---

NYC's bureaucracy is massive, but most of the services that it delivers are red tape which invites a raft of graft of many types. Making anything more affordable would require greatly reducing the bloated bureaucracy, lowering real estate taxes of all kinds and reducing the insanity of sand in the gears regulation.

However, the goal of the Mamdani Muslims and communists isn't affordable anything, it taking control of the means of production in truth as dictated by their chronically failed ideology. They don't care if it produces more poverty for their duped masses.

A censure from his own state GOP should be enough to remove him from his Senate leadership. He drank the DC swamp water and has followed Liz Chaney's road map.

If the 17th Amendment hadn't been passed, the state legislature could have recalled him and replaced him.

Nixon's crime was like a case of j-walking compared to what they do spy on Trump.

Man what a terrible take. There is no reason to place a cap on the tax in the first place. If a cap had never been in place, the system would be completely solvent.

This may not completely fix the issue but it doesn't hurt it.

If government hadn't used the SS "Trust Fund" as a blue-light special loan for decades, it wouldn't be a problem. However, paying interest that is generally below the rate of inflation is nothing but a skimming racket.
