But first, they’ll have to endure a “vote-a-rama” during which senators from either party can offer amendments, which Democrats will use to make Republicans take painful votes. There were some early signs of trouble as the first Democratic amendment was held open by GOP leaders for three hours, followed by multiple votes in which various factions of Republican senators broke with Trump’s priorities and opposed the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund and his White House ballroom. The amendment by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., sought to ban the Justice Department from creating the “weaponization” pot of money. Democrats and some Republicans see it as a “slush fund” to funnel taxpayer money to pay Jan. 6 rioters and other Trump allies. It failed …

BYD says its cast aluminum frame is lighter and tougher than steel

BYD says its cast aluminum frame is lighter and tougher than steel

If you’re from Pittsburgh, you may want to sit down for this one: global EV sales leader BYD claims the aluminum frame that underpins its new Yangwang U8L SUV passes a brutal, 12 ton lift test – despite weighing over 100 lbs. less than a comparable steel frame. When it comes to electric cars, every unnecessary pound is means less range, less performance, and less time spent actually driving, with more time spent charging. That’s why engineers from Tesla, Porsche, Volvo, and literally every other EV brand have invested years of research looking for ways to replace traditional steel structures with lighter materials without giving an inch on safety. Now, it seems like BYD has cracked it thanks to a new, low-pressure casting process developed by China’s rapidly expanding aerospace industry. BYD engineers assigned to the U8L project were tasked with developing a full-size vehicle frame that would float offer the strength and corrosion resistance of conventional steel without the associated weight penalty, eventually settling on aerospace-grade 6-series and 7-series aluminum after testing a number …

Lanterns cast: Who stars in the new DC series?

Lanterns is coming soon to HBO and HBO Max, bringing James Gunn’s rebooted DC Universe to prestige television with a moody, earthbound spin on the Green Lantern mythos. Created by Chris Mundy (Ozark), Damon Lindelof (Watchmen) and comic book writer Tom King, the series pairs veteran intergalactic cop Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) with rookie recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) as they investigate a grisly murder in small-town Nebraska. Showrunner Mundy has described it as “as much of a buddy cop show as a superhero show”, and the supporting line-up reflects that True Detective-adjacent tone, with Kelly Macdonald as the local sheriff, Ulrich Thomsen as classic villain Sinestro and Nathan Fillion reprising his Superman role as Guy Gardner. Ozark star Laura Linney has also joined the cast, although her character is still being kept under wraps. Check out our full guide to the actors and characters appearing in Lanterns, below.
