That’s also an outlook that needs to change. The billionaires want to keep you just happy enough and just nihilistic enough that you don’t revolt.

Very good point.

Sure.

If it feels good you’re fine. It felt freaking awesome when I was recovering from a herniated disc as prescribed by a physiotherapist. Lying that way is at least as effective as “decompression” from a chiroquacker. I can’t imagine why it would be harmful.

If you’re scrolling and your neck isn’t supported your neck muscles will not thank you.

I fucking hope so. I shouldn’t need a gig of RAM just to run mIRC with gifs aka Slack.

The longevity of EVs is typically good, arguably better than a ICE. I don’t think that there’s a relationship between outsize mileage claims and reliability.

There are some studies that have data that show the batteries tend to outlive their expected lifespan (except for the early Leafs) even when DCFC is used, looking at cars used for taxi/uber.

I’m optimistic. There are so few moving parts in an EV motor that it’s not really a concern, but the electronics are a bit of an unknown. I don’t think you can really say that EVs are going to last X years any more than you can say that about ICE cars. I expect to see failing modules in some models, just the same as we see it in specific ICE cars. “Oh, your car is doing X? Yup, the 2018 Opewagen XEP has a weak solenoid in the transfer case that would explain it.”

That said, I’m not sure about the smaller startups like Rivian. They’re new and cars are super complex.

Let’s put a single threaded fybamically-types front end language into our servers. It’ll be great.

Mark Twain also struggled with language

To continue with the German genders: a tree is male, its buds are female, its leaves are neuter; horses are sexless, dogs are male, cats are female—tomcats included, of course; a person's mouth, neck, bosom, elbows, fingers, nails, feet, and body are of the male sex, and his head is male or neuter according to the word selected to signify it, and NOT according to the sex of the individual who wears it—for in Germany all the women wear either male heads or sexless ones; a person's nose, lips, shoulders, breast, hands, and toes are of the female sex; and his hair, ears, eyes, chin, legs, knees, heart, and conscience haven't any sex at all. The inventor of the language probably got what he knew about a conscience from hearsay.

“It’s secure”

Like Aadhar? Ffs. There is a concept of “toxic data” ie data that is so highly sensitive it represents a problem to hold it - and extremely difficult to justify collecting or holding it. This app would generate an astronomical amount of toxic data.

I stand corrected; Apple did in fact provide adequate resistance. This is great news.

The entire premise is built around the idea that the spot is reserved for charging. If the charger is broken, the simple answer is that nobody can park there, not that laws cease to apply and the spot can be ICEd.

The sidewalk is for walking and doesn’t have anyone walking on it, so I parked there.

Next year bro, I promise. Just one more winter, bro.

Just checking, Germans still are building coal plants instead of nukes, right?

The Obama admin enabled a lot of the stuff that is happening today either through keeping programs running or actively establishing or growing the program, which is behaviour that is reprehensible but expected from lawmakers who answer to industry and love power.
