  • That's only about 180,000km (~112,000 miles) or just under half way to the moon.

    Also some quick googling says an average desktop printer can print about 30,000 pages per month, so it would take 20,000 months (~1670 years) to print that out. And a typical toner cartridge can print 3,000 pages and costs $80, so it would take 200,000 toner cartridges and cost $16 million.

    Now, those aren't based on any specific model, just the first result in Google haha

  • A few years ago Walmart released a line of gaming computers and the ars technica article I saw was titled something like "Walmart released gaming computers and the prices aren't awful".

    I copied and pasted the title verbatim and the post got downvoted a ton and all of the comments were trying to give me shit for the prices not actually being good (I feel like they were in line with normal prebuilts but oh well).

    The Internet is a weird place. And to be honest, since I left reddit and have been on Lemmy I feel like people here vote with passion instead of based on the content of the post/comment a lot more than reddit. Its one of the only complaints I have so far.

  • who is out stalking cops?

    Criminals. Back in the long long time ago I was a minor drug dealer (just weed) but when I would deliver to some of the bigger dealers, like the kind who had whole operations, they would have police scanners going pretty much all the time. It would give them time to dip out before getting pinched.

  • Damn that's a shame. My team would also do this like once a month and the buffet we went to absolutely loved us. They would keep the party room open for us and prepare extra food the night before. Hell the owners came to some of the bigger meets too when they could.

    Then someone drove a semi truck through the front of the building (nobody was hurt, it was overnight) and they never reopened :(

  • I could see that changing. I think a lot of the other competitors went with Windows mostly because they either come from a legacy manufacturer (Lenovo, ASUS) or have been making handhelds longer than Valve (GPD).

    But now that SteamOS is practical and able to actually run games i bet well see some shifts. Lenovo is already selling a SteamOS version of their Legion Go S handheld.

  • For some actual numbers, Valve had sold ~4 million steam decks since it was released over 3 years ago.

    Nintendo has sold ~150 million switches to date. And they sold nearly 18 million of them in its first full year (2017).

  • Yeah but 100LL is also still legal (and required) in Europe. My comment is specifically talking about automotive gas

    And more specifically, I was refuting the very clear anti-american sentiment in the comment above mine. Because leaded fuel was not a "uniquely American problem"

  • Asbestos in it's solid form is actually pretty harmless, and it has a huge amount of benefits. The downside is the particulates say in the air for days or weeks, and they cause horrific cancers.

    Its really hard and expensive to get rid of asbestos safely, but it's pretty inert after it's actually installed somewhere.

  • The US banned leaded gasoline (at a federal level, states had banned it since the 1920s) in 1996. Austria was the first European country to ban leaded gas, and they did it in 1993. The first country world wide to ban leaded gas was Japan and they did it in 1986.

    And the EU didn't ban leaded gas as a whole until 2000

  • They also don't sell that many of them.

    Some quick googling says that Valve has sold nearly 4 million decks, which is pretty good.

    Lenovo sold ~62 million computers last year alone. And they only make up ~1/4 of global market share
