That's good to know, that means in the next 5 years, EVs will be as practical to purchase (used) as ICE cars are.

I don't have any data on me to be honest, most of what I hear is based on people I know purchasing second hand EVs, and from what I know of EVs. They suffer from battery degradation which right now is an expensive swap, and charger compatibility is heavily dependent on infrastructure that takes forever to roll out where I am. Internal combustion engines will run great even after 150,000 kms, whereas conventional electric cars and even hybrids show degradation at 80,000 on a few models.

Newer EVs likely have less of these problems, but when I talk of purchasing second hand, I'm talking cars that are 10+ years old.

I think people moving to EVs is great, but if you absolutely need to get a car, the more economical and environmentally friendly option is to purchase a second hand vehicle regardless if it's electric or petrol based. Everyone suddenly switching to an EV would cause a catastrophic amount of waste to accrue. Second hand evs are also more expensive than second hand petrol cars AND are more likely to have problems. EV adoption will be gradual, but punishing the struggling working class for daring to use what they can afford AND not throwing working vehicles into the trash is pretty ignorant in my opinion.

Its true! I strongly believe in public transport. Particularly the transport that is also dependent on oil... Where I live though, if I wanted to get to work without my car it would change my trip time from 45m - 1.5h to about 2h-3h. Each way. I don't feel like spending 6h travelling so it's not really a choice for many of us.

Bitwarden. It's free and open source, but you can pay for a subscription ~~if you don't want to self host for synchronisation between devices. It's very cheap and no doubt worth it.~~

Also Aseprite, for pixel art and custom format exports.

Edit: looks like both these programs are just straight up fully featured and freely available now.

Smart phones aren't magic. They are also not super high tech spy devices. They are dangerous because they promote you to willingly give all your personal information away. They usually aren't spying on you in secret instead you're giving them all the information you want. People get Google and Facebook accounts and tie their full name, date of birth, gender, family relationships, sexual preferences, upload photos of themselves and all their friends, then spend 6h a day using the services which gives them plenty of usage data to tell them what you like, what you hate, what engages you, what they can market to you, your fears, your fetishes, your secrets, etc. You may opt in to Google maps tracking your location history. You can literally check by going onto your Google account and checking your location history. It tracks everywhere you go. They have enough information to know where you go every Thursday at 1750 and who you're with and how bad the traffic was and potentially even what beer you bought.

But they don't do it in secret. They make sure to ask you first but hope you are too ignorant to question the point of it. You ever hear people say "it's fine I have nothing to hide"? That's the propaganda at work. Throw privacy away for the convenience of being able to look at ai memes on instagram.

You agree to allow your phone to listen all the time when you enable siri or Google assistant. You allow it to scan your face to use face unlock but it's not that they're collecting this information in secret. They don't even need your camera footage and your secret voice recordings, and they don't need to steal your dick pics.

They already have everything they need. We gave it to them.

Because his dad works for the company

Hey that sounds exactly like what the last company I worked at did for every single project 🙃

Why would you sign up to college to willfully learn nothing

Skyrim was good because sandbox, music, culture and mood. The parts that made it bad, were endearing.

Incredibles

Jerking it is fine, but just like any coping mechanism, you can abuse it and get addicted to it, then it becomes a problem.

If you're doomscrolling porn, for example, then maybe it is having a negative effect on you.
