Gonna go on a bit of a tangent.

While technically correct, this is one or the many hypocrisies of the United States. The ability to silence others is a grotesque one. And while the government on paper is prohibited from exercising such a power, that power is still abundant in the form of private companies that weild power equal to nation states. If the United States truly valued freedom of speech, the same would apply to private companies.

Shit like this is exactly why I take a burner phone on international trips. Fuck you, you aren’t getting my shit.

None of my friends really seem to get it though and always question it.

Looks like I spoke too soon, my bad.

I must have gotten studies that looked at height confused with weight.

For the occupants, any pedestrian hit by an EV will generally be in worse condition than if they were hit by an ICE vehicle.

While this is ultimately good, the benefit can’t be applied so broadly as “the breakthrough that makes EVs safer than ICE cars”.

Edit: /u/inclementimmigrant had it right, not me

The solution as always is to reduce car dependence.

If you can afford it, there is always the vaccines from other countries. It’s fucked up that it’s come to this and there’s even more of a price tag on health.

Surely this will decrease food prices /s

Almost certainly. But that doesn’t make it less fucked.

I knew it was going to be bad, but fuck that comment section is radioactive.

In an ideal world, starlink should be internationalized by the U.N.

We don’t need half a dozen companies in every developed nation putting their own garbage in orbit just to provide rural internet for a minority of a minority of the planet. Those systems are in orbit, they can provide internet to the overwhelming majority of humans.

But instead we’re gonna fuck up our ability to use a load of space telescopes needed to help see potentially dangerous asteroids, and all these satellites burning up in orbit are gonna fuck up the atmosphere, opening up the hole in the ozone layer even more.

It dying is better than it being in the hands of a billionaire fascist.

Then don’t reimburse him.

Ignoring the lack of evidence or argument presented here for that, I’d rather take a slowdown than Musk get a single new dollar.

IDK LGTM

One of the currently open ones is this one:

Hilarious

It’s already got 4 PRs

lol

I can recommend against enders. I have two friends with them, and one myself. Between the 3 of us none of them are currently working, and its been like this since i found out all 3 of us had 3d printers. Keeping them working is like pulling teeth.

The air is plenty clean as it is

Tell that to the people in East Palestine Ohio. Tell that to the people that live near coal plants.

as long as you don’t live in California

Doesn’t matter where you live if the planet is uninhabitable.

Wanting to breath clean air on a habitable planet isn’t insanity.

Agreed. A good first step towards accelerating that would be to stop giving the fossil fuel industry subsidies and instead give those subsidies to zero emission energy sources.

Solar is already the cheapest IIRC. If it got stupid cheap to the point of basically being free, a lot of people would switch over.

It’ll look like what we already have. Swaths of users self hosting, with lots of redundancy to deal woth instances that have problems.

And that might mean it needs to stay small, but that’s OK. Not all success is measured in popularity.
