I suppose I’m in a similar situation with ppl in Vermont you don’t really get to socialize with people and the few people you come across are never black. Infact I recall actually learning about fried chicken and watermelon being racist from the backlash from the school you just mentioned.
As an American I’m just questioning why we should care about this conflict. At least with Ukraine there’s a lot of nations that want to invade America basically testing their new toys. That might be used against us in the future. But Palestine v humas are two small nations I’ve never heard of fighting in a part of the world that has been in constant chaos for as long as I’ve been alive. So it’s kinda hard for me to ask what’s new. Especially when I as a sitizen struggle to afford a home eat own a car or get a decent paying job. All the while taxes are getting higher and higher with each month. Yet somehow my government that struggles to keep me alive is somehow well off enough to send more money I can even comprehend to conflicts in a shit hole part of the world. Couldn’t even be bothered enough to consider sending a dime of that money towards helping Africans feed themselves or get them drinkable water. No just gonna blow all that cash on guns.
When you look at fueleconomy.gov you will see that the furthest a compact ev can go is 149 miles while the furthest a ice compact car can go is 594 miles
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/01/why-the-ev-boom-could-put-a-major-strain-on-our-power-grid.html You can read cnbcs article on how the grid is already pretty spread thinn with us already increasing our power demand by almost 3,000% in the last decade without even considering ev charging
https://www.motortrend.com/features/how-long-does-it-take-to-charge-an-ev/
According to motor trend DC charging is the fastest way to charge your EV and it still takes just under two hours Couldn’t find a source that studied how long a ice takes to recharge but considering how ices are currently extremely common you can easily test that yourself and probably already know it’s so quick you don’t even think about it

According to car and driver those lithium ion batteries you mentioned while yes they can last a decade most cars typically stay on the road for give or take 30-35 years and lithium ion batteries are inherently expensive and prone to thermal cascading ie catching fire also full charge and depletion wears the battery down over time
https://www.edmunds.com/electric-car/articles/electric-car-battery-replacement-costs.html According to Edmunds.com the average cost of ev battery replacement costs anywhere from 5,000$ to 15,000$ So what point was made up
I’ve experienced this sort of thing with my car. it’s a old 50s car that had a engine swap and a few mods before I got it. so one one hand everything is universal but on the other hand I don’t know what is stock. I only know what sizes are currently under the hood. which wouldn’t be a problem if the guys at AutoZone or O’Reilly’s knew what the different sizes ment. Before I finally figured out what car my engine came from. id just measure the part I need. come in and tell them the part I need, and they would just sit confused until they just asked me what car is this part going into. sometimes the part happens to be stock bel air size, but sometimes they weren’t and the guy would have to bring the used part to the back. until they found something the right size. Hell even when I ordered online id have to wonder if I’m going to be fighting the “guarantee to fit your car thing.” because I don’t know if stock will work. Here at least you can navigate if you managed to find a conversation calculator. My measurement standards don’t matter no matter what unit I use.
Eh as a classic car owner I do like having my car noisy and obnoxious but on the other hand I also like being able to have a conversation with my passenger while on the highway at the same time I’ve also been to concerts that are so loud that I can feel my bones vibrating to the point that even I a loud car owner feels like I’m about to pass out from having every part of me shaken so violently so I guess there must be some connection between edm concert fans and car guys that lead to people having stupid loud exhausts
Can I at least keep my pants on or is the nudity required to make this work
What does that do I haven’t heard this trick
Yeah I feel that way about the Internet as a whole kinda one of the reasons why I’ve been trying to make my accounts interact with j pop and Japanese studying recently so there’s what I’ve been trying and here specifically im finding a lot of communists and trans people trying to get people to be on their side and like bro I just want to get suggestions on how to make my car faster I suppose at least the atheists on here are pretty jokey and the fuck cars community is pretty chill actually one of the reasons why dispute being a car guy I strongly support infrastructure that doesn’t focus on cars over all the star trec meme community here has been pretty good non political community
Wow how has that guy been able to look the same during all those years
At least they aren’t riveting badges onto cars anymore I’ve heard that used to be super common during the 60s and 70s Personally I hate how my 56 bel air has a AAA of Syracuse screwed into the bodywork of my trunk so even if I remove it there’s still going to be a hole in my trunk so I’m personally pretty glad all this branding today are just decals and stickers that can easily be removed with a eraser wheel or plastic blades
Considering how big companies try selling our info out to other companies having everyone’s data be open source is really going to ruin their profits as everyone has free access to the info that Facebook and such are trying to charge for
Yeah once I found these balls on my porch that kinda looked like frog eggs but where too small and not blonde together like frog eggs and at that kind of situation what do you even put in the search bar and reverse image searches only gave me pictures of frog eggs only when I made the post on Lemmy that I found out what chia seeds look like and that’s what I was looking at
At first I thought this was a light hearted shit post but god you talk like a Jehovah’s witness
My inner chicken farmer is telling me to go hug that giant flight capable chicken Edit: spelling fix
Probably one of the smartest tiny details a film maker implemented not to mention how all the fancy ones are gold plated and made of fancy material that takes a long time to bio degrade but the wooden cup if it wasn’t magical it would have disintegrated and become unusable a long time ago
I personally I’ve never viewed abortion as a religious view because babys on their own are pretty useless they are as functional as the dogs and cats we kill on a regular basis we only value babies because they develop into humans that are sentient and capable of speaking so why can’t we apply the same logic to fetuses that develop into babies that develop into humans for that reason I personally believe we should view abortion as a how long does it reasonably take to decide a really important decision personally I think maybe 1 or 2 weeks of finding your pregnant because as a parent id imagine your going to need to make important decisions that can’t wait but hey what do I know im a 19 year old man that has never even had sex or been around anyone pregnant I just feel that if you’re cronicly unsure of weather to keep the kid or not you probably shouldn’t have the kid and the more time that passes the closer you get to the argument of is this child murderer
On one hand I can see your gas tank analogy being correct but I may be saying this out of habit of how we have been disarming disinformation that originates from random sources the whole time we have had social media but disarming disinformation that is backed and distributed by a authoritarian regimes that have a military force and possibly assassins and other means to physically shut people up it’s a bit harder especially when you’re going against them on a platform that they control and own
Yeah I just don’t understand why vegans hate comedy documentaries so much/s
You just took my feeling on this issue and put it to words
Id be a bit careless to say they are a hundred percent harmless but over all they are really shy and cerous creatures id probably say you were being just as shy and careful about them as they were being towards you so yeah they have the strength and weight to crush you and rip you apart but they at most accidentally use that capability bulls on the other hand as far as I’m informed are kinda like 100 ton dogs
