  • What is with the enshitification of everything this last year? Is it because we didn't actively overthrow the government through the Trump bs? People realize they can actually do whatever they want and 50 ish percent of the country agrees based off of tribalism, 45% just don't give a shit and the last 5% don't really matter? They realized we are all cattle. No matter how mad we get, we have no choice in the system we are in. The fucking boomers/gen xers really set themselves up to be a bunch of selfish twats with no real repercussions.

    It's an Oligarchy and a dictatorship under the guise of democracy and freedoms and a majority of people are too busy hating the other 50% of the population yo realize we're getting fucked and manipulated.

  • Cost of equipment wasted vs cost of setting the plant up to make multiple option packages. Also, if you force someone to make a decision when they initially buy the vehicle, then you permanently never get that upgrade on that vehicle. However, if someone can chose later that they want heated seats then they might make the sale when the owner is sitting in their car on a cold winter morning freezing their butt off. Or, if the second owner wants it. All I'm saying is the cost of providing different manufacturing options vs the possible profits of someone purchasing it later, it is probably more profitable for them to do what they are doing. Otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.

  • "All Google associated platforms hereby block all ios devices."

    I am not a fan of apple. But this would piss a lot of people off but is well within their ability and rights to do. And unfortunately they have enough of a monopoly with the internet (Google, youtube, and all the other sites served through their dns) that they can essentially break the internet for people they block. They would get 90% of those ios users to switch to Android.

    The flow of information through the internet is one of the greatest advancements of man kind and we have to trust a massive cooperation not to destroy it.

  • One byproduct of combustion is water vapors. As molecules get rearranged during the combustion process you are using heat to make the gasoline (a HYDROcarbon, i.e. hydrogen and carbon) react with OXYGEN. So some of it comes out with the hydrogen binding with oxygen creating H2O (water, hydrogen and oxygen) , and others are CO or CO2 (Carbon and oxygen) the leaner the mixture the more likely you get the relatively harmless co2 instead of the deadly CO because the more oxygen rich mixture allows for mpre complete combustion with two oxygen molecules to bind to it making co2 instead of just one binding to it making CO.

    Anywho, those water vapors condense when the exhaust and engine cool into actually liquid since colder air can't hold as much moisture as the normally hot exhaust. When you start the car that condensed water gets blown to then end of the exhaust and drips out.

    I am probably not 100% accurate on the chemistry, I am just a firefighter that likes to also work on cars. I understand how fire works.

  • For me I started on lemmy.ml because that is where you get kinda herded to when you come initially. I don't know if it's still clunky, but when I was on there it was slow. Tried lemmy.world a couple days later and it was smooth as butter. My goal was the smoothest experience after the initial impression I got from lemmy.ml I was worried. But lemmy.world was way better. Been here for a month, lemmy.world went through a few server upgrades and the reddit hug of death on the first, but either they handled it pretty quick or I have become patient with it as I learned how the fediverse works.
