  • why is fossil fuel still used?

  • Why would you say that is? Not doubting you on that but it mostly seems like they are market priced as premium products. I.E. a Rivian is priced basically like a normal mid to high end suv. A base level model 3 is in line with a mid level camry iirc.

  • Yeah, I was mostly addressing the immediate reason. The historical ones are way more complex as you mentioned. Now, you have to overcome suburban sprawl and hostile urban development where everything is spread out, requiring a car to use as a direct result of our past shitty choices/lobbying efforts.

  • Switching to something new usually inherently costs money. (Capital expense) If you are scraping by, you can't afford another $500-$1000 a month car payment for a new car.

    The option to convert an older already paid for internal combustion vehicle basically requires another $10k minimum, not including any regulatory stuff and that would be parts cost alone, no labor. Add to that regulatory/local registration issues with the diy route and you basically bake continued demand for fossil fuels into the system.

    You can mitigate some of that by doing public transportation but you have to have a functional system AND an public that wants to use it.

    This basically means that a large portion of the population who won't/can't buy new EVs. Is stuck using gas vehicles until you get lower cost used EVs. The problem there is that they are expensive to repair and NOT diy friendly. Add to that battery deg and lower reliability (in general see used teslas) and people are scared to buy used EVs.

    Its a pricing problem that we have not gotten around yet. The subsidies helped but weren't enough to get more people in. Couple that with a bad economic situation where people are holding onto their older stuff for longer and you basically get only progress on the higher income side while lower income brackets have to still use their gas vehicles which means the producers keep producing and supplying to a captive market.

  • I have not updated past the v1.30 version because I didn't want to mess with potential issues on my server side. Given all this, is there any reason to update to the 2.0.11.2 version?

  • If you work with tools or equipment in any fashion, use proper personal protective equipment and don't skip it.

    If you work around loud noises, use real hearing protection. Hearing loss is irreversible and cumulative.

    If you work with anything that makes dust or fumes, get a resparator. You can get nasty allergies from sawdust, griding dust gives you lung cancer and a bunch of other horrible shit.

    If you work with chemicals, use gloves or whatever is required per the sds.

    Always wear eye protection, you can't get new eyes.

    Take care of your skin, if you weld, wear real covers. Skin cancer on welders is a real thing.

    Use gloves where safe, and don't where you are using rotating equipment, degloving is a thing. Equipment can't tell the difference between flesh and workpieces and it doesn't care.

  • Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • I bought the Emby lifetime license about 2 years ago when the plex remote streaming stuff first started getting talked about. It coincided with my server refresh so it ended up working out. I have been really happy with Emby so far.

    One thing to note is that music streaming on remote devices is WAY better on plex, Emby behaves more like a mapped network drive running over the internet to a local music player that then forgets your position on pause or when you move away from the remote app/device whereas Plex is actually functional as a modern music player. I keep a local copy of my music library on my phone anyways and okay through Gonemad so it is a non-issue for me but Emby should work better than it does in that case.

    Plex also allows/provides "live" tv (with ads) which can be nice if you are into that, and there is the "free" streaming library too which Emby doesn't offer. I'll keep plex around for those features but non-of my stuff is/will be hosted on Plex.

  • Professionals have standards. I'm not sure there is an ISO standard for BS but N.I.S.T was probably working on one before the current administration gutted the funding for being woke.

  • It kind of depends on what you want to do. I worked almost 10 years at a consulting firm that specialized in failure analysis and they loved hiring PhD metalutgists and Masters grads in specific engineering disciplines.

    This was partially because that specialization helps in niche cases and partially because it helps market smaller companies as competent if you can say "I have 4 phds on staff for X, Y, and Z, one is a professor at (technical university name here)"

    The team leads or project leads were always older engineers who only had their bachelor's degrees (and experience) but would shit talk professors and advanced degrees when the "academics" weren't around though. It was a REALLY toxic situation and ultimately led to me leaving. (I'm a BS Mech btw)

  • It really is a much better way to cook it. That looks great amigo, I hope it was delicious.

    I have started fully breaking is down and separating the wings and drums, then spatchcocking the rest so I can get each part cooked just to their respective done-ness. It also helps it fit in my grill...

  • Yeah, you aren't really supposed to layer packages they want to use something like distrobox or similar. I know some things basically have to be (I am fighting with openjdk) but that is where 99% of my issues on bazzite came from. I started just spinning up a vm to run all my random bullshit that required layering in and its been solid ever since.
