No, it's exactly the same. Actually. Not even factoring in that as a homeowner, you're responsible for the replacement of all your appliances, your roof, paint, walls, HVAC, plumbing, water heater, and on and on. And we are talking surprise $20,000 repair.

The energy required, despite the quantity of lithium (which wouldn't be available anyway) would just surge carbon output to later reduce it decades later. We can't capitalism our way out by making more things. Stopping making everything would actually help more, but would implode the planet's societies. Throttling energy use by AI and other expensive processes would do more, now. Pushing the use of public infrastructure, even busses, would do more now. Getting people to stop using cars would do more now. Forcing employers to require jobs that don't need a physical presence to all be work from home would do more now.
They're likely less now, closer to 25-30% now in the US. About 1/3 of the voting population voted for the orange dumpster turd in the last election. There are more factions than ever realizing that he does not represent their ideals. Nobody that previously didn't vote for him is suddenly going, "you know, he did a real shit job last time and almost destroyed the country, but you know what they say about broken clocks!"
They'll lose and go back into the fascist hole they came from.
Great write-up and great find! You'll find companies will often try to weasel out of actually honoring ethical programs more than not, but that doesn't mean give up! If nothing else, the learning will lead to long term education and basically forever employment in various fields.
How does this keep happening? Poor quality control. Pepsi had similar earlier this year.
Chicken fried water heater?
I love that Lemmy is more "old Internet", in that we are devoid of the corpo echo chambers, and we do have these confusions. It helps us all grow and learn. I was very confused as well. No comment on ABV of various bloodstreams.
Yeah. I gotta check with my politics friend to reassure me it is still ok. But the hot 85F+ summer temps in October for some reason have me distracted with learning new seasonal outdoor plant and greenery management.
Maybe the orange combover big-mac-if-it-was-a-cogent-burger is just a distraction from planetary existential death?
Aurora officer. Gotta clarify. There are bad cops and then there are the worst ever, Aurora are in top running for worst and can't seem (or don't want) to clean up their shit. They also killed Elijah McClain by commanding medical responders to drug him to death in a scenario that shouldn't be possible.
Don't understand why we keep letting these shitstains off.
Both are true. And sad.
They are blind and lost. Nest hasn't had a feature update since they acquired them 10 years ago. Their thermostats don't even have a "its freezing outside and the air conditioner shouldn't run" feature. Fi rots on the vine. Their camera service is terrible and they just raised the rates. Garbage company anymore.
