Damn how many girlfriends have you gotten pregnant?

Its like reading straight from the fossil fuel propaganda.

Absolutely untrue. All of it. It might have been true 15 years ago but not anymore.

My EV loses about 20% in the cold at its worse. We charge every four days instead of every five. Hardly “significant”.

the combustion engine is still significantly more efficient at creating the kinetic energy from raw oil than an EV from any type of power plant’s fuel

bruh the entire video you’re commenting on here is a 40 minute in depth explanation on how inefficient gasoline engines are at kinetic energy and why hybrids are literally filling that gap

as well as idle waste

This is such an edge case. “Hey if you let your vehicle sit for months on end that energy may go unused”. Not only have I not experienced this, and I’m highly skeptical of this claim, it is overwhelmingly outweighed by how you haven’t literally been burning gasoline the entire life of the vehicle.

If we’re looking at air conditioning and other electrical stuff, the engine and alternator system is probably not quite as efficient at charging the battery as the power grid and EV chargers are. It’s at least closer.

Probably? Tell me how the alternator which is a mini generator is “not quite” s efficient as the industrial generators whose job it is to literally do it 24/7.

Dude we’re already there. We already did close the gap. Literally everything you said was provably false and straight from what big oil wants you to think.

I own an EV personally. I have personally debunked absolutely everything you have said and everything else that has been hurled at me for why they are so horrible. It is by far the easiest vehicle I’ve ever owned, the most reliable, and I will never go back to an ice vehicle. My entire “fill up” equivalent price is $6 of electricity. Total. The total amount of driving to offset the mining/initial construction offsets was about 12k miles, which we are well past. The battery keeps a charge now just as well as the day it rolled off the lot.

So please, feel free to keep throwing more basic “they just won’t work” excuses because I’m literally driving proof every day that they’re wrong.

Isn’t that what the bill says top? Stop the conversation, talk to someone professional.

Oh no doubt they’re horrible. Just that when looking through the lens of propaganda where a huge argument t against EVs is that it’s still hooked up to a per plant, that the pollution is not 1:1, that even the worst case power plant beats out an ICE vehicle.

But that requires critical thinking and nuance and Facebook commenters got no time for that.

Damn, the average efficiency of an internal combustion engine is <30%, with the best hovering around 40%. That’s an insane waste energy, and does explain why they get so hot.

This is why the anti-EV propaganda is so bunk. Even if you plug an EV into a grid that is 100% dirty coal powered, you’re still more efficient than hauling around a gas engine that has such a low efficiency. Turns out, power plants don’t like wasting that much energy and do everything they can to squeeze as much power as they can out of it.

Then you add on that even the worst power districts in the US sit around 40% renewables and… yeah.

The fun is literally joining in with the author.

Ok great, thanks for sharing.

ZFS works best for drives of the same size. It is possible to do multiple drive sizes, but it’s pretty tedious. Mergerfs is a clear winner when you have many varying sizes of drives and are okay with the speed tradeoff

Competition, even if we hate the competition, is good. This absolutely will keep Valve on their toes, investing in Proton, making BigPicture a true reality. One big thing I see happening soon is other media apps. Microsoft will undoubtedly have the Netflix/Disney/Paramount/Whatever apps that you’ll be able to launch, it’d be nice to get those on Steam/Linux as well. That’s the last thing really holding back my machine in terms of “wife approval”

So they’re real real eager to beat the Steam Frame. Good. They see it as a real competitor.

Personally I have a Bazzite box and honestly? Couldn’t be happier. Haven’t ran into a single game that doesn’t work on it. Dragon Age Inquisition was a pain (setting it up from the Origin store instead of Steam, then getting the controller to work), but other than that it’s been great.

They’ve been anti-open source for a while, they clearly don’t see a profit motive without killing off their open source side. Anyone selfhosting or into open source should consider MinIO dead, and migrate. Hopefully someone forks it.

That’s not at all want we’re talking about. We’re talking about going out as an individual if the claim that it’s to eat is valid or if they’re covering wanting to hunt for sport.

Native Americans are the last ones on american soil who hunt to ear, respecting the animal enough to use all of it. Everyone after that consider it “sport”.

Actually that’s a great way to call it. Did you get your gear from the sporting store? Then you consider it sport.

This coming from the company whose CEO openly admits that his products get people killed and he’s okay with it.

We as an American people have been conditioned for decades that we need larger and bigger vehicles when we absolutely don’t. This is because smaller cars have stricter regulations thanks to the “light truck” loophole in the CAFE standards. It’s literally less regulated, and thus highly profitable to get people to buy trucks instead of cars. The masculine thing, the “It’s safer because it’s bigger”, the “I need space for my family” - it’s all generated by marketing teams for car companies to convince each of us that we need a bigger (and less regulated) car.

When really… we don’t. We don’t at all, and it choosing a truck whether it’s intentional or not, is a selfish move. It’s large, it’s unnecessary, wasteful, it’s proven extremely deadly to pedestrians, bicyclists, and children. Choosing a vehicle like that is inherently accepting that you are risking other people’s lives, and that’s why I’m so against them.

Ignorance is excusable, but once informed then it’s no longer ignorance.

If you do it about once a week or more, then you do need it. If you need it any less than once a week, congrats it’s a status symbol. How do I know? Because the numbers don’t lie, and if you only actually haul monthly - or even every 2 weeks, it’s actually phenomenally cheaper to rent a truck from either a rental shop or something Home Depot. Trucks are crazy expensive, their fuel already was astronomical before, and now it’s even worse. It’s much much cheaper to have a modest sedan/van than it is to own a truck.

Speaking of vans, it’s actually more spacious and more carrying capacity to own a decent van than it is to own a truck. Go ahead, test out my knowledge. Vans have more carrying capacity, better fuel mileage, they’re closer to the ground so they’re easier to load, and they’re even covered so you don’t need a topper or tool box that takes up even more space.

So in short, if you haul less than once a week, you should have rented and saved a few dozen thousand dollars. If you haul more frequently than weekly, you probably should have bought a van.

Without reading, I’ll read it after this, but I’m zero percent surprised. Only people I’ve seen buy ram trucks are ones who do not care about others and want to be seen as big and tuff.

Hell the vast majority of truck drivers too, sorry not sorry folks but you do not need a truck to drive to your office daily, or to drive the family around, you got it as a status symbol. RAM drivers are just the worst of them all.

There are no requirements under SKG to force them to run games forever just FYI. Their wording is soft on purpose. It could mean running a server still sure, or releasing a dedicated server client, or even releasing the source code so independent developers and open source folks can figure out how to run them themselves.

Good. John Deere represents the worst in right to repair. Phones and laptops are bad, but John Deere is the worst. A near monopoly contractors that coat well into the 6 digits, with locked down softwarethat is required, and limits on repairs and replacement parks that go and their printer cartridges drool over. Apple and its glued batteries are nothing compared to the required certified John Deere replacement parts.

I’ll gladly accept the 99mil, and also hope they get hit with more.

Weirdly a non article, thought he’d give his own story.

Anyone who has worked a corporate gig is completely unsurprised though. Squeaky wheels and all.
