We’ve contributed to that. We got a PHEV (not a pure electric) that we probably put gas in once a month whereas before it was probably every 2 weeks to 10 days in a normal car.

EVs are awesome.

TBF that’s a cheat. They didn’t have to be the ones investigating, researching, and developing everything to make it all work for the first time.

The science today is very well established. While it doesn’t lessen the difficulty, nobody is reinventing the wheel at full price. They’re standing on the shoulders of very well established giants.

I’ve lived in left leaning areas for decades. Solar is everywhere, from rooftops to open fields. We don’t have a ton of wind, but there’s a lot of offshore farms and quite a few in the hills. Nobody is “taking” land, it’s sold by the landowner.

If right wing areas are blocking renewables it’s far more likely to be done so it props up the fossil fuel/power generation companies and has little or nothing to do with any actual drawbacks of renewables or their installation.

It keeps trying. I keep denying it.

I would far rather pay a fee for an OS, like I did for every computer I built up to Win 7, and not have to deal with M$oft’s BS and ad-pushing.

I should have been more clear: spinny removable storage like CDs.

Yeah, all my computers have spin HDD for storage and SSD for OS and most-used programs.

[–] RememberTheApollo@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Back to spinny drives we go?

Title pretty much sums up why we’re screwed.

lol, dude…at least make an effort to act like you read the article.

The bounty offer comes from the US State Department, following this week's disruption of the criminal organisation's activities.

Second sentence in the text.
