You're forgetting that my car doesn't go faster than 150km/h, and even at that speed the battery lasts way shorter than at a comfortable 120km/h🤡

Fuel consumption at 200km/h is almost double compared to 120km/h, so who has the cash anyway. And even if you do, is it worth it? Nah.

I'm on lemmy.world and I've seen at least one from Hexbear

I have seen pretty radical stuff from news@hexbear.net. Like, holy moly. I think it was on All, but maybe I accidentally subscribed to it. Saying stuff like "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" seems to get upvotes over there.

I get it, Israel's illegal settlements and occupation of Gaza make it pretty easy for radical groups to gain followers. But that doesn't mean that shooting at ordinary people is going to fix anything. Sure, Palestine has a right to defend itself. But shooting up a festival hardly qualifies as this.

Equally relevant, putting aside Israel's settlements which we know to be illegal, the number of civilians dying in Gaza is totally unacceptable. Air strikes might look less horrific than men with guns, but they are really equally horrific, killing huge numbers of civilians. These lives are not worth less in any way.

I think this order of thoughts is appropriate:

1. It is awful that civilians are dying, no matter where they live
2. Unjust violence is taking place in Israel and in Gaza
3. This doesn't come out of the blue. Current conditions are a violation of international law by Israel and are a breeding ground for radicalisation. Israel has many more cards in their hands to turn this around than Palestine has.
4. Can we please end this endless cycle of violence and suffering?

And beans. And lentils. And peas.

Also, opting for the burger options doesn't have to mean eating a huge quantity of them.

Could be worse though

It's just maintaining arch that was a bit of a headache for me. I loved having access to the AUR and being able to use bleeding edge.. well, everything. But too much of my time ended up going to fixing issues after updates or finding out what package to choose when there were conflicts during updates.

Obligatory warning AVOID CCA CABLES! They can be a hazard!

I know it's a cliché, but say this on Reddit and you'll be downvoted into oblivion. Tried it many times. Criticize meat and seemingly reasonable people suddenly start making the same circular arguments they usually mock.

Whether we treat animals fairly shouldn't depend on whether they're friendly or playful towards humans.

Still, every cow looks curious and investigative. And even if they're skittish, they're still much more trusting towards humans than we deserve. If the cow understood what was really happening, it would be horrified of the monsters that humans are towards cows.

I agree that it shouldn't be a matter of being for or against nuclear.

The best mix of renewable energy supply of any country is going to be very context dependent. Geothermal, hydro, solar, wind all perform best when they're used in the right location. Nuclear energy is much more expensive per Megawatthour than renewable energy sources, but it's highly predictable.

In addition to the high cost, the construction time of a nuclear power plant tends to be somewhere between 10-20 years. Therefore, it makes sense to find solutions first in grid balancing solutions like mega batteries (for balancing, not long term storage), smart EV chargers, and matching demand better with supply through variable pricing. These are all relatively affordable solutions that would reduce the need for a predictable energy supply like nuclear.

But, if the measures above are not enough or if there are concerns about the feasibility of such measures in a particular context, then analyses might point towards nuclear as a solution as the most cost effective solution.

It's pointless to make nuclear power a polical issue while we're rapidly approaching an irreversible climate crisis. We don't have the luxury to act based on preferences. Policymakers shouldn't view nuclear power as a taboo, but also shouldn't opt to construct one simply to attract voters.

Yet, it was the broccoli that the butterflies, not locusts, favored first. For the Lord had ordained that this green shoot, with its crown like unto a tree, be the first to witness the might of His judgement. And lo, not a single stalk of broccoli remained; it was stripped bare, its beauty consumed, and its greenness vanished from the land of Egypt.

And the people lamented, for the broccoli had been a favored vegetable amongst them, rich in nourishment and taste. But the Lord's will was clear, and His signs undeniable. Through the consumption of the broccoli, the people of Egypt bore witness to the power and the fury of the Almighty.

Very easy to set up and almost no work to maintain*
