Well it seems that chapo.chat won't be lost for a few months yet, so if we end up moving the admins will communicate that in a stickied thread. When we moved to hexbear.net both domains were used for a while to ease the transition before one got turned into a redirect.

no idea, that's just the alias that the auction website is showing for the two top bidders.

tankie.su

tankie.cn

damn man tell me you don't know anything about EVs without telling me

In the past decade, EV makers have had to invent new chemistry and they still haven't fully cracked the nut of putting enough power into a lightweight enough battery to compete with a tank of gas. I'm fully on board with EVs as they exist now (but of course mass transit would be even better), but for the average consumer in America they're still just not good enough, which was why the extremely low price on some Chinese cars was such an exciting development.

tankie.cn or tankie.su

I think that we all instinctively recognize that it would be cringe to cry over a website when internet space is basically infinite.

did I download a virus? I can't seem to access hexbear on my desktop

edit: I'm getting redirected from hexbear.net to this www1 site that doesn't seem to actually exist

edit2: okay I changed my Mullvad server and the problem went away, I guess it's an issue with their DNS?
