And now you (and us in the rest of the world) get democracy-dismantling Trump, who will continue to support Israel even more. That’s not even considering trans people, other demographics’ rights, or the climate. Good job being so virtuous in non-voting!

Said as someone not emotionally invested in her campaign.

A system which necessitates or otherwise helps create single-issue voting damages democracy*

This clown has done an insurrection, says he’s allowed to kill political opponents, promises to be a dictator, says Haitians are eating cats. Among other things, that’s nowhere near a comprehensive list.

It should have been over for him the moment he mocked disabled journalist Serge Kovaleski in November of 2015 in any reasonable society.

Some more links if anyone needs resources to share with people (don’t give up hope):

• Chronicling Trump’s 10 most egregious abuses of power | CNN Politics
• Trump Is the Worst President in History - The Atlantic
• And, if you’re feeling really motivated/need an extensive source: Donald Trump: 59 of the worst things Trump did during his presidency | indy100

(not my screenshot; source/as seen here)

Awesome, appreciate it!

Could you share a link to the source for, or the wallpaper itself? Really like it!!

Concur. I’d argue they should be flipped, even – Windows (11) needs way more in hardware in order to run fluidly AFAIK, whereas older Macbooks are supported for quite a long time

This is like attacking CDC over covid, but even more thoughtless, as you can literally see the hurricane damage with your own eyes.

(I’d like to ignore and not discuss the possibility of people seriously thinking these disasters were artificially created.)

There’s a unicode character for it, meaning every decently modern form of text input should support it: CO₂

Didn’t deny.

IIRC something like <40% of people in “red states” are voting for Republicans (Gerrymandering, anyone?). Sure, some, arguably too many, are non-voters, but you can’t leave all of these people out to dry just because some are to blame. Unfortunately.

Why does it feel like you pretend people with less than a billion dollars or something in that order of magnitude’s neighborhood in unrealized gains would ever be affected by this legislation?

Laws like these should never affect you unless you’re one of like (I’m guessing numbers) 15 people in your country, so I don’t understand the issue people so often have with them. From my point of view, if we don’t change anything to combat wealth inequality, the most likely outcome is civil unrest (esp. with more climate disasters looming on the horizon)… genuine question, please don’t take it with hostility – I would just like to understand “the other side” here: why would you personally oppose this?

P.S. about to hit 6 (euro)figures invested. ≈50/50 stock/ETF split. But I’m not sure if that truly counts toward your opening question since it’s basically the place for my long-term savings money, but there’s no such thing as regulation for a tax-advantaged “retirement investing” (401k etc.) account here, yet 🙃

Yeah, we could tell

Those were talking since purchase, which was further out than last year I think

Most “browsers” being marketed out there are based off of Google’s Chromium project. They are effectively re-skins of it (simplifying a little). Examples include Brave, Vivaldi, Opera I believe.

Firefox is completely separate and independent from this ecosystem (which is also why there’s a separate extension store for Firefox).

The third and last major (>a couple % market share) engine is WebKit, which is the basis of Apple’s Safari.

There’s tons of cool stuff out there, but it’s either niche (platform/use case), unstable to use, and/or both. Examples: Servo, Ladybird, Orion

To sum it up, if you’re a normal, average user:

• If you have exclusively Apple devices, probably try Safari (for the synchronization & battery efficiency)
• If not, Firefox!
• If you need it because of some really messed up development/compatibility issues, the last resort is ungoogled/de-googled Chromium

While on the topic, here’s some cool browser extensions:

• uBlock Origin

• Consent-O-Matic (auto-deny cookie banners)

• StopTheMadness / StopTheMadness Pro (macOS only)

• Bitwarden or the browser extension of another, different password manager you (hopefully) already use

• YouTube-specific extensions, if you use the platform

  • SponsorBlock for YouTube (Firefox link)
  • Stop AutoPlay Next for YouTube (Firefox link)

• (optional) Privacy-heavy focus. Caution: Having these extensions may lead to some sites breaking – they are not necessary for most people.

  • Privacy Badger
  • CanvasBlocker (Firefox)
  • Cookie AutoDelete (Firefox)
  • AdNauseam advertisement & tracking blocker/obfuscator – if you use decide to use this, probably deactivate the others including uBlock Origin

• (optional) Dark Reader

Edit: fixed a link

TL;DR: Depends on what you mean.

Long version:

Disclaimer: I’m not an expert by any means, I haven’t vetted the links properly (or at all), they’re mostly there for illustration and if you want to read further. Also, the last time I actually read up on this is quite some years ago, so stuff may have changed in the industry and/or my memory on specifics is foggy. Many of the links lead to Tesla sources since I first looked into this topic back before Musk made it known to the public that he’s an insufferable human being.

Batteries are usually structurally integrated into the chassis with modern EVs, since that means space (and often small weight) savings, and is easier/faster to do in manufacturing.

With that knowledge, it is safe to assume that replacing a car’s battery is a difficult or next to impossible task, outside of end-of-life reuse.

But this is actually where it gets interesting, since EV batteries last many years anyways: What happens when the car’s time has come?

Well… the batteries can be reused. It’s not a trivial process, there’s several ways to do it, but the best intuitive explanation I’ve found is this: In raw ore, lithium and other metals are present at maybe 0.1 or 1%, per tonne of material. In batteries, it’s maybe 99% of reusable, expensive material. Even if you let it be 90 due to inefficiencies in recovery, or whatever, it’ll still make way more sense financially to work with old batteries – once you have the process figured out and automated machinery to get it done in place.

All that is assuming total destruction of the existing cells, which, depending on their state, may not even be necessary at all. In fact, it looks like all of that may not be needed for as much as >80% of batteries. Wow!

And we all know the best way to ensure companies are doing something is if the financial aspect aligns with their goals. It’s in their best self-interest to be able to and actually do this.

So: Replaceability per car – eh, doesn’t look to great. Replaceability across the industry? Perfect.

This is why Unix orbs exist, man!

Technically, she got more votes (edit due to being unclear: than Trump, in 2016). And not by a little, nearly 3 million people more voted for her over orange anti-republic anti-democracy man. But the voting system is unrepresentative, so it didn’t matter.
