Elon Musk shows how safe 21700's are by smoking one

Exactly.

Now he has to spend more time on shows to explain what he did .

This was the first time I’ve seem Elon Musk in conversation and he came across much better than I was expecting, although now I’m pretty sure we are in for a Terminator style future! He tried to warn us and nobody listened….nobody listened.

Have you guys heard his plan to warm the climate of Mars?

“it’s easy, just explode nuclear bombs over the poles for ~2 years, that’ll raise the surface temp to a point that’s livable for humans and because of the makeup of the atmosphere there it’ll only take another ~2 years to not be contaminated”

Is this the true reason for Trump forming the Space Marines. Make Mars Great (Habitable) Again, Nuclear War Now!

Well, it would be a great way to ‘dispose’ of excess nukes! There are enough nukes in the world today to destroy our planet many times over and I think most of them are ours (USA).

I believe Russia has us beat, by a small margin, in both shear number of warheads as well as actively deployable [ready to fire] nuclear weapons.

Either country (USA or Russia) by themselves out gun all other nuclear capable countries combined by >20 times!

Last time I looked at data:
Russia : ~6800
USA: ~6500
France and China, the next ones in line:tied around 275 (no I didn’t miss a zero)

Again, atleast in Russia / USA that’s total number of warheads including deactivated weapons who’s warheads still exist. I believe the US to maintain ~1250 weapons, a combination of ground / submarine launched missles and single warhead air-deliverable weapons (keep in mind with MIRV’s 10+ independently deployable warheads can be mounted on a single missile and I’m not sure if that 1250 figure I state above counts launch vehicles or active warheads)

Edit: I’m pretty sure it just became known that Russia has a whole new class of weapon since I last looked into it.

Musk looked in very poor health (physically and mentally) in that video. I guess he is under immense pressure and not sleeping much. Living in the factory. Too much scrips. He looks close to a breakdown or heart attack. His behaviour lately has been erratic.

Marijuana??

Looks like a cigar to me unless he is using Brown rolling papers and rolled a really thick one which I doubt very much.

Publicly smoking a controlled substance which is illegal in the US as the CEO of any company is beyond stupid. No matter what the individual States do, the Federal government still has laws that classify the drug as ILLEGAL. I doubt he will suffer for it, the elite celebrities of the world are above the law mostly.

You never know when the Officer you come across will decide to enforce the drug laws that day. Try putting a small amount of weed in your luggage and go to the nearest major commercial airport, go fly out of Denver and see what happens. Those drug laws still apply folks.

Its killing the companies that need skilled employees in high risk positions. Its killed construction lately, I lost many key positions because idiots think its legal somewhere, but it ain’t at many jobs folks! We had to do regular drug testing at work to maintain insurance, I bet the cost of business has increased in CO.

Society pushing drugs as harmless is very foolish. We have too many dope heads now that can’t stay employed. Then you have the drunks, they are actually worse than dope heads. Folks won’t keep it at home, drug use permeates your whole life. I stayed off all drugs, mainly because I saw what it did to so many friends and my own brother.

What am I missing?!!! Where do you see a joint? I see what looks like a little Brown cigar,like a stogie that my Grandfather use to smoke!

The storyline says that it is a blended tobacco and MJ and both acknowledged that before the toke.

To my eyes, it seems perfectly legit for him to be smoking what he is smoking.

He is doing it in a way that will not get him high, which is why he let out all of the smoke.

Personally, I’m more worried about what he drank before this.

Why has nobody done a discharge test on a tesla 21700 cell yet?
Or am I just missing something?

Well I don’t really know why.

Perhaps the Model 3 production is hoarding all of them.

There is no story line in the OP………just a photo

You got no Google up there?

And nobody has bothered to take apart one of the battery packs to test?

Society isn’t pushing drugs as harmless. Some areas of society are waking up to the fact that a lot of drug laws and enforcement are arbitrary (like the distinction between alcohol and pot), or worse, actively and deliberately unjust. Some areas of society are waking up to the fact that moralizing and punishment doesn’t work any better now that it ever did, and that there are better ways to deal with drug and alcohol abuse.

Heavy emphasis on “abuse,” there is an important distinction between that and use and I’m not blasé about it. My father drank himself to death by the time I was 26 and he was 56. Pot, like alcohol, gambling, video games, and flashlights can provide a way to avoid dealing with stuff that needs taking care of, or it can be a relaxing diversion (not for me; these days, it seems to make me anxious).

Commercial interests, on the other hand, are doing what commercial interests do. I’d prefer they do a lot less “demand generation.”

Yes absolutely. +1

Also, let’s not forget that regulation is really important. If people can legally get their does of being high, they will consume a regulated amount of the stuff with known ingredients, not black market stuff with much higher concentration, and even a much more potent chemical inside of it.

Decriminalization and legalizing drug use, along with REGULATING it, is important to limit abuse to the maximum.

Almost every time, drug abuse is coming from emotional conflict and problems, and if we punish the users of it, then their state will get worse.

In fact, if you want something successful regarding this, go see Portugal and drug decriminalization.
