Yea, I don't disagree. I'm sure any country would take advantage of that. I'm just trying to figure out if you were disagreeing with me or were you just adding a random fun fact about the US?

Like even if Hollywood only made pure propaganda on behest of the CIA and nothing else how is it related to every major country doing disinformation campaigns as long as spy shit has been the norm? Are you saying the US is the most successful at it?

If you mean movies and such then yea, obviously, but I'm not sure how that connected. I don't think Hollywood is the puppet of spy agencies to spread disinformation, they are more interested in making money with the least amount of investment.

I'm assuming every large country does this and has done this to every other country for the past like 200 years of not way longer. This is like saying the sky is blue.

I have heard others complain about it but as long as I have used Firefox videos haven't autoplayed on anything so I would hate if they did that but currently I'm good

Large centralised social media platform should all be banned. I miss the times when all you had was forums hosted in someone's basement, the Internet was a better place. Short form video content is the worst of the bunch though.

Pop_OS is a good choice for a gaming machine, it was perfect for like 4 years until I upgraded my 1080TI for a 7900XTX and the Mesa version was too old to run it at the time so I switched to Manjaro.

Personally I hate most Arch based distros with a burning passion. Like I have used arch wiki to install Arch at least 3 times after it had shit the bed during an update. Now if I need to open a terminal to install a distro I'm not installing it. I just wish the people maintaining Manjaro weren't so incompetent and also include common codecs (h264 and h265) in Mesa like every other distro.

I'm so glad amazon is useless in my country due to high delivery times and fees. Local stores never vanished and their online stores are so much better.

You know what's a really good defence: Not being based in the fucking US.

Not in that study. The link you provided only has the abstract but it's not even about how common detransitioning is.

It has a sample size of 25 so it couldn't even draw an average with that but according to the study it's goal seems to be to document the motives for transitioning for people who go on to transition and the ones who don't.

They don't seem to mention how fast batteries actually degrade, how old those vehicles are, what climate conditions they are used or how many charging cycles are on those. It's all well and good if the 15000 cars have a low amount of battery replacements but without knowing the conditions it's kinda useless.

Like where I am the temperature goes from -20C to +30C pretty much every year and in those conditions the makers rate the lifespan from 8 - 12 years.

Unfortunately used EVs are still decades away from being viable since after 10 years you hit the point you most likely start needing to replace the battery. You aren't buying used if you need to invest more in replacement parts than the car itself.

I'm fine with that though, we need vehicles on rails instead. 80% of all microplastic are from tires.

I don't think I even know what the brand names are, like only active ingredient names are on the packaging here.

It would be smart for Europe to prepare to work together militarily without the US. Politics in the US seem to be insane and unpredictable so it would be good to have a contingency.

Macaroni with enough Heinz ketchup to question your sanity and a glass of milk.

It's also my hangover cure.

Pretty much anything Google is giving me says they are using deep learning LLMs in biology.

Have you seen like an MSSQL database? That is a lot more readable and easier to display on a frontend. Also like every blockchain have an existing open source frontend you can redesign the look a bit and just use.

A blockchain to manage a database for vehicles takes as much resources as a classic database. What causes the huge and ridiculous power drain is mining, which is not something you would be doing for a database to store vehicles.

Oh, yea, of course companies will take advantage of this to just replace a ton of people with a zero cost alternative. I'm just saying that's not where it should be used as it's terrible at those tasks.

AI doesn't exist currently, that's what LLMs are currently called. Also they have been successfully used for this and show great promise so far, unlike the hallucinating chatbot.

A blockchain is a form of database that would be really good for this because of how it maintains all database transactions while being human readable easily. Most databases aren't human readable and you need to design an interface for it. How NFTs are stored in blockchains is a good example of a very specific purpose that would make this better. Vehicle databases also don't have a clear connection to previous owners and that data needs to be retrieved manually while a blockchain keeps every modification easily visible.

Obviously don't use a blockchain used for speculative investment like Etherium but the government can just host their own without any stupid finance shit on it, just a database for vehicles.
