Quote: “Bullshit is language, statistical figures, data graphics, and other forms of presentation intended to persuade by impressing and overwhelming a reader or listener, with a blatant disregard for truth and logical coherence.”
Dana sez, “Calling bullshit” is aka “teaching critical thinking,” which imo we should start teaching from kindergarten on.

Quote: “A 10% to 70% refill takes as little as five minutes. Even when the temperature is -30deg C – which would normally result in a drastic reduction in charging speeds – the Flash Charger can take a Blade Battery 2.0 from 20% to 97% in 12 minutes. At the same time, the Blade Battery itself is capable of longer distances on a single charge; thanks to a 5% gain in energy density, ranges of more than 621 miles (1,000km) are now possible (based on the Chinese CLTC efficiency test).”
Dana sez, Looking like my next car will be an EV. And made in China. (h/t Fix the News)
