  • Mother arrested in Texas after baby dies in hot car

    Jump

  • My rental car I have right now has a huge obnoxious pop up and alarm when shutting off the vehicle saying to not forget your kids. Technology can solve this issue easily.

    Constant warnings when they aren't needed just leads to them being ignored with everything else. My in law's car had one that went off every time, even when the backseat was empty. It was as easy to ignore as all of the other pointless warnings that car had.

  • Household Vehicles Were Parked 95% on a Typical Day in 2022 — So Much Time & Opportunity for EV Charging

    Jump

  • While it is true cars are parked the vast majority of any typical day, the lack of charging infrastructure is the actual hurdle.

    Many people with homes do not have garages or other locations with accessible outlets. Parking on the street is extremely common in dense neighborhoods.

    Many people live in apartment complexes with either open parking lots or with sheltered spaces that don't have electricity.

    Both can be solved with more infrastructure for charging and more EVs that can plug into regular outlets for slow charging.

  • Yeah, one sees you later and the other sees you after a while.

    Totally different.

  • No, I think undecided or apathetic voters who are not currently engaged in voting will be motivated by the Dems actually doing something before the election and seeing the GOP obstruct it. More motivated than by Dems saying they will do something in the future, which they constantly fail to do.

    Just fucking do something.

    I speak from experience as an unaffiliated voter who votes against Republicans, but isn't really voting for Dems because I think they will do anything. Just because it is the best chance to make the GOP lose.

  • It is about putting the GOP on the record to motivate the voters by taking some kind of action.

    Try to keep up.

  • Showing the Dems will actually do something would motivate the apathetic people. It isn't about swaying existing voters, it is about increasing the number of people who vote by giving them something to vote for.

    I don't buy for a second that he will ditch the filibuster if the Dems have control. They could get rid of it right now and they would be no worse off than when the Republicans have the house, senate, and oval office and choose to ditch it to pass their project 2025 bullshit like they neutered it to stack the courts.

    Ditching the filibuster, passing the legislation, and then blaming the house for not following through should dominate the election discussion.

  • Trump 2.0 looms as threat to BLM’s clean energy push | fate of ongoing solar, wind and geothermal projects could become a referendum on Biden’s effort to use federal land for clean energy transition

  • I didn't know Black Lives Matter had a clean energy push!

  • Toasts Are Bad UX

    Jump

  • What's worse than a toast? No feedback at all.

    So if you don't have time to design or build a better feedback mechanism, a toast is better than nothing.

    This is what really drives home the article as a great advice. Toasting is a bad implementation of something that is necessary, feedback of a successful action.

  • University of California bans encampments and face masks

  • Jewish steudents reported being harrassed, which probabky happened because there are always some jackasses in any large protest. But most of the complaints I noticed in news articles were the Jewish students equating criticism of Israel and Jewish people.

    Yeah, that could come from a lifetime of experience with people equating the two, but it also means any valid criticism of Israel is going to feel like a personal attack to them too. Criticism of an active genocide is more important than verbal antisemitism on college campuse.

  • Michael V Drake, the president of the 10-campus university system, said in a statement on Monday that the UC was taking steps to “ensure a safe, inclusive campus climate that fosters a free exchange of ideas”.

    "Except for ideas that involve criticising Israel for genocide. All the other ideas are fine though."
