Highly trained? You can get a Society of American Fight Directors Theatrical Firearms Safety Certification in 2 days. $400 to tell somebody "Treat every gun like it's loaded and real", their #1 rule.

Fear not. Congress will set them up for failure again.

Quick, somebody tell their sponsors at MSNBC and the Associated Press! How dare they have a non-political event there!

That's a great name.

Should have been 0 months. Playing with guns has well known consequences and everybody on set participated willingly.

Running that system off of solar isn't cost efficient in the least though. The good hybrid inverters can't fast charge, they are 50 amp @ 220V limited, which is good enough to only run a home air conditioner and not much in the way of other high drain appliances. So you need multiple inverters each at least $5k, then since you can't solar charge at night, when most people garage their cars and charge, you have to have racks of battery storage. You'd need $7k in batteries just to hold the 30k to put in the vehicle, and another $14k in battery racks to run your home overnight except in very favorable climates. Another $20-30k in solar panels. Ancillary charges to remove and reinstall the entire system when you do your roof every 10 years or so.

Just putting gas in a car is a hell of a lot cheaper than at home solar charging an EV.

For starters, that amount of energy transfer may be dangerous, depending upon the capacity of the battery in question.

Assuming we are charging from a normal 50% storage charge, it's 136 amps at 220v. That's not realistic on a home charge and potentially dangerous. However, Tesla iirc uses 400v architecture, so that's only 75 amps sustained for 5 minutes. That's doable theoretically but no commercial solution exists for it. The Tesla wall connector is only rated to 32 amps @ 400V, so yuo're going to need about 12 minutes to uh.. SuperCharge it.

Absolutely terrible for battery life though. Murders it, causes puffing, drastically reduces battery life over time. If you are charging a lipo battery, the optimal charge rate is 1C, which is 1 hour to full capacity regardless of total amp/hours the battery contains.

#13 daily commuters do more than daily commuting. The vehicle has to also be suitable for the primary edge case, long distances or heavy daily use. People don't want to own a second car or rent one just to make a simple day trip like Austin to DFW.

and people aren't rushing out to buy Apteras just because they look different. The utility is basically non-existent.

"Not on an ICE chassis"

The skateboard design is not an improvement. It's just Body on Frame with a lower frame. There are huge advantages to the Unibody design and you can still mount batteries low in them.

"The event was neither a political fundraiser, nor was the 45th President of the United States in attendance."

It was a Grey Team fundraising event. They build.. wait for it...

Safe Spaces for Veterans.

The focus is suicide prevention.

"Implementing solutions for U.S. military active-duty and veterans to reduce and eliminate suicides. Voted one of Florida's top Veteran Service Organizations/Nonprofits that have drastically reduced the veteran suicide epidemic. "

For all this slander of the USMC and their soldiers, they didn't do anything wrong, some of y'all are over the top lol.

At a non-political event that happened to be hosted at a place that hosts non-political events as a major source of income.

Real marines. Reservists. Confirmed by the United States Marine Corp.

Nope. There's so many done by their surrogates it's hard to keep up with them all, but this is the one actually carried out by Iran when Trump had Soleimani executed with a hellfire in Iraq, after a bunch of similar to attacks like the one you referenced.

They're good at killing because they're smarter than they look. The crayon eating is just a show.

You could always just read the article:

In a statement provided to Newsweek by the Marine Corps on Saturday evening, a spokesperson clarified that the photos had been taken at a nonpolitical event at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday, with the Marines' appearance approved ahead of time.

"On April 11, 2024, a Marine Corps Reserve unit, 4th Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, supported a nonpolitical event hosted by a civic organization at the Mar-a-Lago Club by providing a color guard and static display," the spokesperson explained. "The civic organization, Grey Team, is a 501 (c)3 non-profit based in Boca Raton and they submitted an official request for military support to a community event."

The statement continued: "The request was reviewed by Marine Forces Reserve Community Relations and deemed eligible for support. The event was open to the public and helped raise awareness about military and veteran suicides. The event was neither a political fundraiser, nor was the 45th President of the United States in attendance."

You do know that nearly 2 dozen members of the US military are currently suffering from brain damage, permanent hearing damage and PTSD from that 2020 attack, right?

Operation Martyr Soleimani. One day embrace just a smidge of skepticism based. It was over a 100, then it was "at least 45", the number keeps declining, none of them were checked for TBI beforehand, Iran phoned ahead the grids where the missiles would land, and the troops were in underground in bunkers over a mile from where the missiles landed. Free purple heart for claiming a headache and you get 5 cool lifetime benefits and we Thank Them for their Service.

And you don't need to be rich here.

Yeah, equal rights are real here, for the most part.

lol. The moral ground of Iran is so low they had to contact Turkey in advance, to tell everybody else when and where the strike would be, so it could be intercepted.

If they don't "do something!", there would be a coup.

Just like last time when they hit the US base, and called ahead to let us know.

What a waste of "decimate", terrible editing Rcade.

Some of you wouldn't last very long in a single party country. You'd make a rich person mad.

This is America.

irrelevant, no matter where you go in the world, the rich and connected, and their children, have easy access to firearms.

Iran sent a message. I doubt they expected any real damage. Their tat for Bibi's ---.

It's all a farce to save face, like when they fired missiles as the US based and killed nobody.

The rich kid of a politician will always have easy access to guns.
