𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶 "not yet begun to fight"Don't let these MAGA dipshit influencers rehabilitate their image with a truckload of insincere apologies. If they were really sorry they'd be out there right now stumping for people like AOC and Bernie Sanders.

Jason CosperSubstack promoted Andrew Tate as their #1 "bestseller" last week. Cool company. Great leadership.
So I went ahead and made a browser extension.

Florin#TIL The Carnot cycle was formulated in 1824 by Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot and established the theoretical upper limit for the efficiency of any heat engine. This means that it has been a fact for two centuries that electric motors are superior to internal combustion engines.*
Even an optimized internal combustion engine would have an efficiency of only 60%. In reality under ideal conditions, it is around 40%. An electric motor, on the other hand, achieves a realistic 60%-90%.
