Considering the long term goal for them is to have them in planes at 30k ft, im sure they are entirely designed with the idea of humidifying the air to an ideal point prior to it getting to the catalyst for the reaction
Im no chemical engineer from MIT, but I would assume that trace amounts of sodium hydroxide that are readily reacting into sodium bicarbonate well before they make it near the surface of the earth are probably not an issue of concern. Especially considering the acidification caused by traditional exhaust gasses
Its what they are about to do to her as well, as they already explicitly announced she will have to undergo this testing before her next competition, or she wont be allowed to fight
Yes but they still use what is effectively slave labor in those states as well, to make all kinds of stuff. Its only better in that they arent locked up for profit
What it means in corporate America and what it means at a company that works with government contracts is two different things. The federal government mandates strict drug testing at companies they give contracts to. Most companies dont voluntarily choose to be that restrictive with testing
Same here. 12 years and over a quarter million karma. Im not gonna say I was single handedly supporting the site or anything, but how many high karma long term users can they delete before the site is just pure garbage?
I love Lemmy and Im honestly glad I got permabanned from reddit over nothing. Being here reminds me of the early days of my time on Reddit, but a bit more diverse than that version of Reddit ever was. Even though there is still a pretty heavy white/young/tech skew here as there was back in the day. It doesnt feel like that is the only demographic that is here
You can see the same hypocrisy in their energy and environmental policies. “Drill baby drill, put no regulations on dumping or manufacturing. But fluoride of all things is the unhealthy devil” or “fuck your EV tax credits or ICE phaseouts, but if you dont go buy a Tesla then youre not a real American”
Its absolute lunacy. Take the things everyone knows are bad and say we need that. Take things everyone knows are/would be good and say its a core problem in society
Its a double edged sword though. In an ideal world, corporations would be less likely to discriminate in renting out property in the first place. But we also are left with a soulless and faceless corporate landlord, one that can also be racist, that sees renters solely as a profit opportunity.
We could go back to only people owning live-able properties, but then we would be putting control over the housing stock in the hands of individuals. And individuals are more likely to be biased than an entire entity, plus more difficult to hold responsible. As well as more difficult to correct issues with, because then everything would be so diffuse.
Idk my gut instinct is that people owning property and personally renting it to other people is better than corpo landlords because of the human element. But the human element is just as likely to go wrong as the corporation, I just idealize people. If anything, the real benefit of that system would be functional limitations it places on wealth accumulation that can occur via property
That is hardly a sensical argument theyre making, outside of the general mantra of “so California goes, so goes the nation”. Their market share may dictate quite a bit, but even then in a hypothetical scenario where only they do this, then the ICE vehicle market would cover the other 87% of the population in the country. And if California isnt the only state to do it, then thats the choice of those other states just like California. If a state can decide if abortion is legal or not or weed (federally illegal mind you) is legal or not, then they certainly can regulate mf car powertrains
It seems like the American car companies know full well they already lost their good opportunity to make quality affordable electric vehicles. We may not have allowed the foreign competition in yet, but the idea of Americans having access to a decent quality car for $20k must have them freaking out. American car companies cant make half as good a car at a $20k price point just because of our labor costs alone (although there is that startup making trucks in Indiana, though they are pretty basic in comparison to a BYD).
Even though this ban in California is 10 years out, they already know they have no solution to find here
