I feel like voter turnout on (especially) local levels would be greater if we had to participate in Highschool. Get used to researching local politics would go a long way to instilling it in adulthood.

That and mandatory time off for voting would help.

To be fair, I’m really just judging the EC’s article writer. Not the trustworthiness of EC or the study itself.

The comic series is on Webtoons, and also here on Lemmy.

I don’t have a link to the original comic, but yeah, it’s obviously been edited here.

With my (admittedly limited) understanding of the topic, extracting the water from ocean water is a relatively simple process.

The problem is what do you do with the brine afterwards. The process featured in the article makes it harder for the brine to clog the system, which is admittedly an important step. But you can’t put the brine back into the ocean without risking killing local wildlife.

And I’m not under the impression that there are any practical uses for brine, at least not at that scale.

Hmm… the device has 3 screens. (The third is visible when the device is closed)

I can’t imagine a reason to do this… other than to facilitate brining mobile games over.

There was a rumor way back that the switch was going to run Android. Obviously that didn’t happen. But it makes you wonder.

As a filthy casual with little to no knowledge of comics outside of a few cartoons…

… I’m incredibly confused and distracted by retro-cyborg’s design.

I really like the on-going gag that Starfleet/The Federation is actually as idealistic as it attests to be. It would be far too easy to leave Daystrom as Star Trek's version of Arkham Asylum. But while the methods of rehabilitation may have been played for laughs, letting Peanut Hamper, Agimus, and Tyrannikillicus walk the path to re-enter society was honestly really appreciated.

If this has been DS9, Picard, or Discovery… I probably would've expected an Arkham Asylum angle… where the inmates are all in varying stages of vowing revenge. And, it's easy to imagine the more Megalomaniacal inmmates may indeed be as such… I still appreciate that Daystrom's shown in the light that they can be reformed.

My local power company is a price gouger… but my state has mandated that we can select our source provider with zero penalties for switching… even between other sources.

It’s not a ton… since the ‘delivery’ fees are straight up highway robbery and not under the control of the outside provider… but it’s still something.

Currently doing research on solar and how much I need to save to afford the up front costs.

In layman’s terms, what is happening to the voided properties?

The fact that Trump is appointing the independent feels… conflict of interesty.

Dunno if it’s true or not, but I remember reading that Picard brought being shaved bald to the mainstream. So like, folks younger than the thinning hair age would do it.

Again, can’t vouch for if it’s true or not, but if true, it would suggest it might be possible…

… that said, a cool character would probably have to wear one. And not just nameless background extras.
