Oh, come the fuck on. This isn't politics, it isn't religion. It's actual tech, and it is at least tangentially related to the core topic, in that EVs are a place we use some of the TE we like to play with. And a place where we sometimes play with our TE.
This is what I was talking about with the stupidity of "zero tolerance". You start that shit, then everybody's pet peeve becomes a 3rd rail, and before you know it this thread is gonna about as interesting as listening to fucking 11m band.
We're still talking, it's not gotten personal, and sooner or later we will self-regulate. Please take the OT-Nazi-ing to another thread.

And yet I give you this, thanked by a few regulars here:
Please take the EV shite to the correct part of the forum.

Yeah it is OT yet tech too but keeps popping up with regular monotony whereas it should be in it's proper place.
Any new EV technologies might be of passing interest to us all then should also get a redirect to the proper place.
The way I look at this topic is that it is as much related to TE as are all of these what seems to be endless discussions about data centres, programming, guns, explosives, chemistry, farming, food, drinks, fishing, politics and social comment etc. Those discussions are often to be found on here, but I pull on my big boy pants and either read them in case I could actually learn something from them, or I just skip past those particular posts because I appreciate that the authors of said posts feel that someone on this thread will find what they are saying is of interest. What I don't do is to start complaining about the posts and the posters unless they are spamming, or it starts to turn ugly and personal, but if it remains respectful of each other than no harm has been done. When I pick up a magazine or a newspaper, I don't read every item in it, instead I decide what I do wish to read, based on what catches my eye and piques my interest
I have said it before, and I'll repeat it here again now, if we adopt a zero tolerance of deviation away from all topics other than Test Equipment, that will be the day that this thread begins to wither away and slowly die as other groups have experienced.
How many of the members here who go to work, when you get there, and you see fellow workers do you all seriously expect the rest of us to believe that you never ever talk about other subjects, so let's start being a little more lenient to each other
