  • "Suffering builds character". anarcho-primitivists, probably

  • Yeah, this is something many climate advocates say - that it is better to keep the car you have - but I don't think this is backed up by data at all. It's very clear that that EVs are able to save more carbon emissions than in a fairly short period than you would save by not continuing to drive an ICE vehicle, with manufacturing included.

    If we were going to have a simple rule, replacing all ICE vehicles today with EVs will be far better for the climate than keeping them.

  • What else can be done to defeat Trump in November other than just telling people "vote"?

  • Money. Donate. There isn't a near term world where money won't matter in giving you a voice, so you should use it.

  • Tim Cook is “not 100 percent” sure Apple can stop AI hallucinations

    Jump

  • That's also pretty true for people, unfortunately. People are deeply incapable of differentiating fact from fiction.

  • Who could have seen this coming except for people warning about it for decades

  • Limited visibility, limited comprehension, limited attention, and limited risk aversion.

  • Is This the End of Plastic? Visa's New Technology Could Replace Physical Cards

    Jump

  • It is definitely picking up very quickly currently. Far more common in the last couple years than before.

  • Is This the End of Plastic? Visa's New Technology Could Replace Physical Cards

    Jump

  • I can put my credit card number in any transaction directly, and so can anyone else. Digital payment can provide a random one time card number (at the expense of privacy, admittedly). Physical cards are absolutely not safer.

  • Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production

    Jump

  • ... Sodium Ion are already being sold in EVs.

  • Send a message! Use a digital pipe bomb!

  • Most people on weight loss drugs are spending less on restaurants and takeout, survey says

    Jump

  • 73% of Americans are overweight. They'll be just fine if they eat out less.

  • Can you live without YouTube ?

    Jump

  • I mean, you can say the same about every form of entertainment. Music? Majority is crap. Movies? Crap. Sports? Crap. Books? Crap. Video games? Crap.

  • unsure why we are surprised lol

  • IMO a tankie on the left is just a pure anti-west authoritarian cosplaying as a communist - the communism is largely window dressing and they are generally perfectly happy defending Russia (obviously not communist) or authoritarian nonsense from China and other communist countries.

  • Biden announces 'emergency' US military mission to build pier off Gaza coast to deliver aid

  • Oh fuck off dude.

  • Ohh shit....

  • There are plenty of studies displaying improved cardiovascular health in those who drink 1-4 cups of coffee a day.. Generally, cardiovascular risks of caffeine from coffee are not important for the average person's health decisions.

    In addition, there is a good argument for caffeine prior to exercise - it improves performance and therefore results and therefore health outcomes.

    Also tea has caffeine as well (technically dark chocolate too, but less than tea so not really a concern).

    And again, the solution to sleep issues are to not have caffeine (tea, coffee, or otherwise) more than a few hours after you wake up.

    Withdrawal symptoms are not a major concern - they are temporary at best.

    Edit: there are plenty of sources of polyphenols - but frankly the average American does not get nearly enough generally. If you have a typical American diet, I would not recommend quitting coffee as a health measure unless you have already drastically increased consumption of polyphenols generally.

  • Ohh shit....

    Jump

  • Coffee also is high in polyphenols - the benefits almost certainly outweigh the drawbacks. Just don't drink coffee after the morning.

  • Are Urban Farms WORSE for the Environment?

    Jump
    • Pretty much any hobby is carbon positive. Gardening is almost certainly on the lower end of carbon positive hobbies.
    • In the agriculture domain, growing plants for the sake of direct consumption is not the primary source of emissions - that would be animal based agriculture by far.
    • Gardening promotes community resilience and health.

  • US spends billions on roads rather than public transport in ‘climate time bomb’

    Jump

  • Quite frankly we need a separate spending bill specifically targeting sustainable travel. I would say something like $2.5tn. (Real) high speed trains, commuter trains, trams, bike lanes, etc.

  • American Test Of $11,500 BYD Seagull: 'This Doesn't Come Across Cheap'

    Jump

  • AFAICT this this is an LFP battery and some rumors say it will be the first to sell with a sodium ion for BYD. Both are significantly safer than LiOn

  • Signal and Threema want nothing to do with WhatsApp

    Jump

  • Except most people are not going to tolerate having a multiplicity of apps, and if people in your circle don't already use signal, they definitely won't now. Whereas previously, I was getting pretty decent traction from people slowly adding it.

  • Germany legalises cannabis, but makes it hard to buy

    Jump

  • There are definitely financial incentives, they are just underground now. Which is worse in every way.
