And let’s not forget that fueling your car requires a tank, a decently sized pump and 2 minutes of your time. A quick charge will hopefully charge your battery to 80% in 30 minutes, while giving you less km and running 300kW of power through hefty cables and big transformers, consuming the amount of energy that a family house consumes in a few days.

(And yes, battery manufacturing and disposal consume enormous amount of resources)

Electric and gas have different situations in which they shine. Gas/diesel engines are just a bunch of steel and some control chips, optimized in more thana century of technological development if we couls develop carbon neutral fuel, electric cars would not be needed. Unfortunately, it woulf be difficult to do at scale of current fuel consumption. More (electric, battery-less) public transport, less road goods transportation, more nuclear, electric for vehicles that move 100% of the time (delivery and logistic vehicles) and carbon-free fuel for other kinds of vehicles (personal transportation) is a good balance, in my personal, ignorant, armchair opinion.

I thought it was something like “get a hooker for your dad”, didn’t notice it was a shein ad

Iq tests are only statistical in nature, the median score (100) is constatly readjusted because it was noticed that if older criterias were maintained the median kept increasing over time. This could be explained even by a higher level of average eucation. By definition, the “low functioning part” (iq<70) will always be the minority. Because the score is changed so that the tails are always a specific percentage of the total polutation, so using an iq test is already flawed.

Also, people don’t ruin the world because they are stupid, they do so because of egoism and lack of foreshadowing (not caused by stupidity but again by egosim)

You can try ans give motivation, offer emotional support, sometimes even offer to do the thing together (sometimes just arranging a thing is a good way to not let it slide), but forcing will have the opposite effect and will only add to the internal pressure that is already there (but you won’t probably see) and that is not enough. Of course it depends on the person, you can also ask your friend, as long as you accept the answer as a fact with no judgement (it’s not easy but probably it will be appreciated)

I’m sorry but I think that’s stupid lol. A bear is an incredibly dangerous creature. Being in the woods with a bear means very likely death. A random stranger will likeyly be kind and decently good.

I have a small candy tin that i brought around to keep small toys when we travelled across countries with my family. Every couple or so years I open it and it still smells of strawberry after 15+ years, and I immediately run through my childhood travels

The Kelvin line of movies is 100% non canon in my head. It’s good they made a separate parallel universe, so I can pretend it never happened and just go on enjoying the rest of the trek

Is this some kind of “men are dangerous animals” thing?

Everything marketed audiophiles, not only gold plated cables, but also anything that uses vacuum tubes because “they sound better”

Which fuckup, except for DIS season 1?

If developers optimized their apps, we could have phones that are 10x faster than 10 yeara ago. Instead they are the same speed and the same amount of apps fit in the bigger storage, because developers are lazy and use heavy, unoptimized technologies that use 10x the resources

May be, but I don’t think apps use it. Afaik Teams, Discord and such are all epectron apps, yet they have not much in term of dependencies and large install sizes, so they must ship with their own versions.

“Was able to establish a wide broascast data link through the planetary communication system” is such a fancy way to say “got viral on a tik-tok livestream” which would be the most likely outcome

They immeditaly jump back in and get more and more skeletified

*unless it’s to return to their home port, but then they also cannot reenter. I think that most of the non black-sea fleet got out before the war or just was not in there at all

Well, to amazon credit, they only offer cloud services. If government officials are dumb enough to store confidential documents in webservers without any authentication, it’s not Amazon’s fault (also, assuming you find real documents, the fact they are indexed by google, means that those links are also stored on publicly accessible pages, like forums or link directories, that’s the only legit way it can be found by google crawlers; that’s double dumb)

You can’t expect every single person that didn’t left Russia to want ukrainians to be murdered and tortured. People there are poor, their entire life is there, their country makes everything to prevent them from escaping and other countries are wary in their regard. You can’t make it that simple

There’s a middle point between “the dictator is the only bad guy” and “literally every person on a country the size of a continent is the bad guy”

Did they ever explain why it was supposed to be illegal?

Litography technology is only the first part of the deal. You need an incredible amount of knowledge to design processors, use the technology and have a working and reliable product. Manufacturing chips is difficult, you also need to source good qualitt silicon
