Hiroshima was wrong because it attacked civilians. This was an attack on a threatening military site. Those warships they were striking now have potential to kill Ukraine civilians.

Military targets are always fair game in war. Civilian cities are not. Your comparison is not the same

I call bullshit. He sold them fucking internet as a fucking contract with the damn Pentagon. What else would they be used for. If you wanted to use that excuse then you should’ve never made the contract. This was planned from the start. He sold the contract to have greater control over their military operations. This is just the first of a long line of items to come

Yes, which is wrong. My question was more about lithium batteries in general, not these specific batteries.

Personally I think we need to hold waste management companies more accountable. I feel like there should be sorting done to some degree to filter out compostable waste, recyclable materials, and true waste. That way we can still have a sustainable planet even when individuals do not have a sustainable mindset

That’s what I was curious about. We have an EV and one of the biggest things is the lithium mining for the batteries being awful for the environment and awful treatment of workers. With EV’s becoming more popular and other types of batteries using lithium then I think lithium recycling is going to be very important to the future and was wondering if anything had been established. Even a close to unused state allowing it to be put back into an EV for 95% capacity is better than just throwing it away.

I will definitely check out the video though

Is there anything we can do with lithium to return it to its unused state? Can it be chemically refined back to its original state or does the electrical usage permanently alter it?

Andrew Carnegie is celebrated in Pittsburgh but is abhorrently hated around here. For good reason. But you got it pretty right on the nose.

The F-150 lightning pisses me off. They released it for $40k but it sold really well so they raised the prices several times.

It’s a great truck but they want to price it out of being sellable. $40k is right on par with a brand new f-150.

I will say, the mileage isn’t destroyed by the utility bed. I don’t own one but I have spoken to owners. I drove PA to Kentucky on my Niro EV and met someone hauling farming equipment in OH. They were going from FL to Illinois. Said he still gets close to the 300 mile range while hauling so it’s a bit of a hit, but not as much as people think.

That being said, the people who drive a lot every day are the toughest sells and for good reason. People who drive a bit in the city think they drive more than they do. But realistically I think everyone needs to actually check how many miles they drive a week and not just assume how much they drive.

EV’s aren’t ready for a lot of driving jobs but are getting there. And charging is getting better too. My trip to KY had an average charging stop of 10 minutes. Compared to a gas station that’s filling up and running in for a restroom break. It depends on whats in your area but that tech is around

Ya, look up Johnstown PA. Home of one of the worst “natural disasters” in US history that happened to be caused by a rich asshole who didn’t care about people. This was the city that built Pittsburgh and it lost literally everything overnight and corrupt leaders made sure that industry never returned. We’re now known as a great stop on the PA drug highway because of the corruption. Nothings improved since they finally got out of the debt. It’s only gotten worse. And we’re still paying taxes on a flood from the 1800’s. Realistically they sold off the water lines to a private company and pocketed the profit and are publicly celebrating screwing people over. And it will never change.

I always tell people the greenest solution when it comes to cars is to just not buy a new one. Use whatever you have until it can’t be used. Then buy a EV, preferably used but sometimes you need new due to availability or mileage.

My city privatized our water and is celebrating “being out of debt” meanwhile taxes are still rising and my water bill was $350 last month. My sewage another $120 through the same company. Not to mention I had to put $9k into “updating” my swear line to be compatible with the new company. And for every month I hadn’t updated I had to pay a $95 fee. I literally paid almost $600 a month a one point for fucking water. Homelessness is going up and people are ditching houses around here cause they can’t afford to live in a shithole but hey the city’s out of debt I guess?

Oh and I missed my payment my 2 days and got shut off last week so I’m expecting a high bill again in “restart” fees even though they didn’t have to send anyone out here for it.

Fuck privatized water

The overwhelming majority of people who work on a computer are stuck with windows.

Another mass majority of people will buy a computer and use whatever is on it. They aren’t tech savvy enough to switch OS’s and they know how to use it because they use it for work.

You want more people on Linux? Get more companies to switch to Linux and get more box stores like Walmart and Best Buy to stock Linux OS’s on PC’s at sale.

Linux growth right now will be slow. It will still happen, but it’s not going to be fast. Steam released the steam deck which runs Linux and the OS saw a MAJOR spike in users. That’s because a device is being sold with Linux stock on it. Now do the same with laptops. Some will say desktops, but desktops aren’t as popular as laptops. It won’t hurt to package with desktops but laptops are key to that.

Oh, I forgot about that one. Tons of fun. I need to rewatch that lol

I still think Swiss army man was one of the best movies he was in

You asked. No images here but the thought is awful:

Seattle Sounders. It’s a USL team for soccer. If you know, you know. If you don’t, just understand that it should be changed and move on

It would be so ironic if the plane crash was entirely an accident and not planned in any way, but no one believes it because of Putins history. And if they kill him for something he wasn’t actually involved in because of his past crimes ruining his credibility it would be oh-so-sweet

Feels like PlayStations version of the Wii U not the switch

When my wife was in labor they gave her an epidural. She kept complaining of pain and they insisted it was just pressure which that wouldn’t help with. After delivery they sat her forward to remove it. Turns out when they say her back after inserting it, it fell out. She delivered naturally with no pain relief because no one cared to listen to her.

Beetle Willy doesn’t have the same intensity these others do…

I would imagine they would. Their duty is to keep him safe, not help him carry out illegal activities. I think they could make the moral choice to take him in as long as they could be sure he would be safe being arrested. And if they can’t be I would imagine they would be pulling the strings to make it safe while keeping tabs and not staying hidden.
