What the actual hell??? Last week, I had clients across from Naples to Bradenton, so i woke up at 4am and started doing jobs. Made it up to Bradenton at 10am and the last client wanted to wait til 2pm to do the job
As a result i chilled, enjoyed a nice lunch, checked out the boardwalk, and after 1.5 hrs of enjoying the place, I entered my car exhausted, set an alarm to 1:30pm, and fell asleep.
You’re telling me that THIS NAP I TOOK WOULD BE ILLEGAL?!?!?!
… They’d progress that way regardless so…
But it actually isn’t, because the largest driver of growth for platforms like facebook & instagram is the already present userbase.
That userbase will always be there if the programs are all federated together, so creating a new platform is now just making a better site versus that and bringing in the userbase.
Harder, but in this with mutliple generations of people being trained to question every link and image on screen? Not necessarily impossible.
People will report this for sure if they feel confident.
There will definitely be false flags though
Desantis is literally pushing these laws and screaming woke while pocketing millions of dollars of “donations” from the large cattle ranching companies throughout the state. Hell, he started attacking Disney once they stopped paying him millions in bribes too. Disney’s disagreement with the dont say gay bill was the perfect excuse
One of those moments the rest of the old continent would stop, look at the USA, & exclaim in unison: “Idiots”.
Much of the old world has gone that have existed for centuries and people live in them today.
What horrified you is basically part for the course for them.
They’re completely manual. There’s a manual door latch literally right below the button you’d press inside to open it.
Pull that up & the door unlatches to open.
They’re literally designed in for emergencies.
It’s the same in the model 3, Y, & S.
Arcologies or greenhouse super domes for food production of any kind wherever it’s desired
Or carbon nanotube mass production so we can build mile-high connected super structures
Void user here, i think more accurately Void would be a former crush who flirted with systemd but systemd couldn’t fit their needs. Now she looks at him today like “nope, i don’t want any of that in my life no more 😊”
I wasn’t taking any chances on having a feed filled with “you’re evil, Palestine labor X Z P etc”. I just don’t want any part of those debates.
if you look about, this has been spammed out like 1000 times to the lemmy main feed by accounts made in the last week or 2 like it’s some disinformation campaign.
It was an apple as well. As well as the school board i was assisting and my company too.
The only difference i could think of is that i never turn off this device, like ever (my personal phone is android)
You too? Where i live, I had the only working ATT phone between the local government & my job
Welp, im a vampire now
(Universal Infinite Shadow of earth is what my username means soo…)
Honestly, i think our biggest difference is where we look. I am looking at people who cant easily afford a new car period and have to maintain what they got. The 7k tax credit doesn’t really help them. It helps the middle class where a 40k car with 7-10k tax credit sounds like a nice option.
Right now, im confident that if the coming cheaper cars flood in en masse, at first they’ll be bought by the people who took interest with the 7k tax credit, and then as they get sold & enter the used market they’ll be accepted by lower income families looking to save money on fuel and servicing over the years by fixing stuff themselves & just having less stuff which needs fixing.
I am of that income level, so there’s that too.
I said “Good” because at the moment most EVs released in the USA are either gimped in some way like the bolt (55kw) or leaf (most leafs: 100 miles) or are expensive 50-70k luxury performance gods that a 7k govt discount isn’t going to make much more popular with the average earning or price-conscious person, ignoring dealerships, potential insurance rate hikes (heard this was a thing), ev road taxes (wtf), etc are thrown in the way.
I ignored the evs on hold part because even without govt funding for infrastructure & whatnot, EVs & car sales are still as “free” of a market as during the GM EV1 days, & as such EVs will keep coming forth unless Ford, GM, Chevy, etc want their lunch eaten by Rivian, Tesla, Lucid, Fisker & friends.
As consumer reports said, potentially about 1/3rd of Americans have significant interest in purchasing an EV. Being the pessemist I am, and only looking at the 14% of definitely buy on how many car owners there are (230 million or so), that’s still, at this point with all that is there today, at least 30 million people. As prices fall & used evs become more available, that number will rise significantly as it has in years past, and adoption of then subsidized & simple infrastructure will become a more financially advantageous investment than ever before.
In the end, I wasn’t actually asking for a halt or cooling to EV sales. I was asking for a reevaluation of current plans & methods of encouraging adoption.
… “This approach is completely unrealistic”
Proceeds as a “missing piece” to basically give an example of what i said. Installing superchargers at most apartments is quite unrealistic, but level 2 & 1 charging will be affordable.
What about anything I said is actually unrealistic? The US government investing in battery tech for cheaper cars?
Incentives for apartments, condos, stores etc to install charging infrastructure so ev owners will never have to think “can I charge my car? And if so where?”
Right to repair so people driving used EVs will know for sure that not only can they guarantee a battery replacement or other part on their 2014 tesla model S, Ford Fiesta Electric, Chevy Bolt, of VW e-Golf, but that the parts & service won’t cost $20k?
Please enlighten me.
Dont you think that answer is far to clear cut? How about if it’s abstatement heard from a supposed friend’s doctor and you dont want to get a hold of your family doctor for as inane of a question as it is?
