You’re the one simping for the companies that are making the planet unliveable for future generations for their own profit.

Plenty of evidence for what I claimed, google it yourself if you want:

Oil companies (via “independent film makers”) have been paying influencers to shit on Tesla, ever since Tesla became a viable threat to big oil and legacy auto. Nothing new here.

If you have other Apple devices, so you can make use of features like AirPlay, the Apple TV is a no-brainer.

That was me, but I also had Facebook between Digg and Reddit.

The post office system is socialist, so are functions like public roads, and fire and police services.

I’d argue that having the government provide a service isn’t enough to call something socialist. In “The Wealth of Nations”, Adam Smith said that in a free-market economy, the governments role was to provide defence, law and order, and public works (eg. roads and education). If we’re using Marx’s definitions for communism, then surely we have to use Smith’s definitions for Capitalism.

I am a little, but compared to carbon emissions it’s not a big issue.

It’s a localised problem, so affected areas can solve it without needing the entire planet to agree. And we already have both political and technical solutions available to us. The only reason we haven’t implemented the fixes, is because big agriculture lobbies government successfully and it costs them no votes. But if the average voter has to stop showering because of water shortages, you can bet politicians will “solve” the water crisis in short order.

Water for drinking isn’t the issue - that’s about 0.01% of all water usage. The issue is irrigation for food crops, which is >50% of water use in many places.

You don’t actually need to be aware of it. Because you said you were aware of it, when you clicked Accept on the EULA, and on page 62 of the EULA it said they have the right to disable your printer remotely at any time and for any reason.

Facebook tried this in Australia, but backed down after a week, and now pay a significant amount to news organisations.

Google and Facebook aren’t going to cut themselves out of such a big slice of interaction, they’re just throwing a tantrum and hoping the government caves.

I literally studied this exact nuclear design at University - the Westinghouse AP1000. You can look up the WNISR (World Nuclear Industry Status Report) if you don’t want to take my word for it.

Don’t forget, mining and enriching uranium still has a significant carbon footprint, far higher per tonne than any fossil fuel. Yes, it’s lower over time, but we need to be reducing emissions now, not in 50 years time.

Sure. But do you think Nuclear reactors will still be cheaper than renewables + storage in the 2070s? Nuclear is far more expensive per kWh than renewables, and the cost of storage is falling fast.

Ah, i remember studying the Westinghouse AP1000 reactor design when I was at Uni. It had just been approved, and numerous plants were expected, with the first expected to be online from around 2010.

It’s 2023, and this is the first one to go live in the US.

The reduced operating emissions take 10+ years to outweigh the enormous construction emissions of nuclear. (Compared to gas.)

I have a twitter and an instagram - with about 5 posts on each. Ditched Facebook about 4 years ago when I realised it’s just all toxic boomers on there now. Ditched reddit when they killed 3rd party apps. So Lemmy, and a LinkedIn I only really check for work.

Ironically, I work for a small company and I handle all the social media. LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

The 38 OECD economies are all capitalist. Only 1 lacks universal healthcare.

This is demonstrably false. If you get a brand new Tesla and charge it to 100%, the range on the screen will be the EPA range. That’s not a “rosy” prediction, that’s the prediction that companies must legally use in their sales material in the US.

Also, the BI article says this was 10 years ago, but the Reuters article opens talking about the Model 3, which was only released 5 years ago. But it’s coming from an unnamed source who claims it was a decade ago - not exactly reliable.

Tesla don’t get to decide how they rate their mileage - they have to follow the EPA testing procedure. If they use any figure other than the EPA figure, they’ll be breaking the law.

The fact that the EPA testing procedure doesn’t match real-world conditions is the problem. And it’s not one Tesla can solve.

You can’t be sociopathic and psychopathic - they’re different points on the same (ASPD) spectrum. Please learn what words mean before throwing them around.

They definitely use incandescent globes for heating as well. I just remember when I had fish, the shops would advertise neon heat lamps for terrariums. (I think it might have had something to do with infrared heating, but I’ve never had a terrarium so I’m kinda guessing now.)

If that’s old-school it’ll be neon, modern ones get the same look with LEDs. If it’s flickering slightly, it’s neon.

Large ones are pretty rare these days, because they’re horribly inefficient at turning electricity into light. The main place you’ll still find them are as heating lamps (for things like terrariums).
