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.

That’s gotta be depressing for sure sometimes. Hope we’ll get a clue and start acting on what people like you recommend.

38 is still really a decent spot for that. Men and women both have unrealistic expectations set when it comes to body image thanks to fashion and entertainment industries. Get yourself a good routine and you can still look great. None of us are going to have a Chris Evans’ Captain America body without steroids and personal training.

I didn’t mean to imply financial success was the only success.

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.

Yes. No.

Climate change at work.

Russian tactics haven’t changed. Throw poorly equipped bodies at the enemy. When they’re shot down, throw even worse-equipped bodies at the enemy, tell them to pick up the previously fallen’s gear and move forward. Repeat.

Like when your kid fakes being sick to stay home from school then 20 minutes after the school bus goes by they’re running around playing. Can’t keep up the lie for 20 minutes. Imagine having to manage a lie for years.

Their society is the shareholders.

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.

Back to spinny drives we go?

Determined, aren’t you.

Title pretty much sums up why we’re screwed.

Biggest one of mine:

Mandatory, standardized securing of the guns. Basic gun safe strength, ability to mount to studs in walls. Mode of entry doesn’t matter…mechanical cypher, biometric, whatever, so long as the lock isn’t easily defeated.

Same with carrying in a vehicle. Bolt it down.

If people can afford thousands of dollars worth of guns they can certainly afford a decent safe.

Edit:

Unsecured handguns account for the majority of firearm suicide deaths in the United States, study finds

Overall, firearms used in unintentional injury deaths were often stored loaded (74%) and unlocked (76%) and were most commonly accessed from nightstands and other sleeping areas (30%).

It is difficult to ascertain the exact number of guns that are stolen from individuals in the United States because many of these thefts are not reported to law enforcement. However, estimates from a number of survey studies indicate that roughly 200,000 to 400,000 guns are stolen from individuals each year....Whether taken from gun stores or from individual gun owners, a firearm is stolen every 2 minutes. These stolen guns are often diverted directly into illegal trafficking networks and end up being used in the commission of violent crimes.

The Largest Source of Stolen Guns? Parked Cars.

All stolen guns are available to criminals by definition. Recent studies of adult and juvenile offenders show that many have either stolen a firearm or kept, sold, or traded a stolen firearm: According to the 1991 Survey of State Prison Inmates, among those inmates who possessed a handgun, 9% had acquired it through theft, and 28% had acquired it through an illegal market such as a drug dealer or fence. Of all inmates, 10% had stolen at least one gun, and 11% had sold or traded stolen guns.

The Southern [of the USA] region has the highest percentage of house-holds with firearms and the least safe storage practices (Okoro et al. 2005). Not surprisingly, most Southern states are “exporters” of guns traced in crime (Mayors Against Illegal Guns 2010).

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.

All good points. Thank you.

Gonna be an AI full of memes and shill for industry.
