This reminds me or a minor, mostly friendly argument I had with my cousin one time about religion being a net negative for humanity.

Shit like this is why it’s a net negative.

Looks like I spoke too soon, my bad.

I must have gotten studies that looked at height confused with weight.

For the occupants, any pedestrian hit by an EV will generally be in worse condition than if they were hit by an ICE vehicle.

While this is ultimately good, the benefit can’t be applied so broadly as “the breakthrough that makes EVs safer than ICE cars”.

Edit: /u/inclementimmigrant had it right, not me

The solution as always is to reduce car dependence.

Mine puked today :(

The wider thread is, however:

Kick out Republicans and establishment Democrats.

Voting for fascist-enablers isn’t slowing them down.

Given the context NABDad’s comment doesn’t seem to be limited to primaries.

Yikes. Did you at least have a working display port or something?

The spoiler effect is an inherent part of first past the post voting. It’s geometry.

Voting for progressives only works in primaries.

According to my Hispanic fiancé, you must eat it like a savage animal, tearing at its flesh while it’s juices drip down your chin.

But you eat it over the sink because we’re not barbarians.

Those dell optiplexes aren’t gonna reuse themselves.

If you can afford it, there is always the vaccines from other countries. It’s fucked up that it’s come to this and there’s even more of a price tag on health.

It’s hard to tell these days. It’s a miracle The Onion is still in business.

Surely this will decrease food prices /s

Let’s play a game of “Most children deaths”! Let’s see who will win tonight? Will it be cars, or guns!?

Here’s what it looks like:

Amazing accomplishment. Though, does anybody else think it looked like somebody mixed some pepto bismal in a blood bag? I find it a little funny.

Almost certainly. But that doesn’t make it less fucked.

I knew it was going to be bad, but fuck that comment section is radioactive.

From wikipedia:

Lev Parnas is a former associate of Rudy Giuliani who was involved in the Trump–Ukraine scandal and the Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory. He was convicted of illegal donations to Trump’s campaign and sentenced to 20 months in prison in 2022.

In 2019, Parnas served as a translator for a legal case involving Dmytro Firtash, a Ukrainian oligarch with close ties to the Kremlin and self-admitted Russian mob connections, who is fighting extradition to the U.S. to face bribery charges. Firtash has been free on bail in Vienna since 2014.

Strikes me as somebody who has a vested interest in adding more fuel to the fire. Either way this is scary and fucked.

In an ideal world, starlink should be internationalized by the U.N.

We don’t need half a dozen companies in every developed nation putting their own garbage in orbit just to provide rural internet for a minority of a minority of the planet. Those systems are in orbit, they can provide internet to the overwhelming majority of humans.

But instead we’re gonna fuck up our ability to use a load of space telescopes needed to help see potentially dangerous asteroids, and all these satellites burning up in orbit are gonna fuck up the atmosphere, opening up the hole in the ozone layer even more.
