Any authors or books you would recommend in the genre?

I second Monk & Robot. In fact, a lot of Becky Chambers books are good. Too much of the sci-fi genre is doom and gloom nowadays.

To Be Taught, if Fortunate (novellas) - Becky Chambers

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (trilogy) - Beck Chambers

Yes! Of course I also make sure it is installed with Flatpaks instead of Snaps.

The Three Body Problem!

I use Linux btw

I remember having a similar gut reaction to seeing images from Lower Decks. I ultimately enjoyed LD so I am going to give it the benefit of the doubt.

However, 😬.

monkeytype.com! Offers typing challenges and tracks your progress.

Yeah that's probably not going to have much direct impact in the next election. Colorado has been blue for the last few elections.

What a weak article. It's barely three paragraphs and contains basically no details. Here is the press release from the Dept of Transportation.

I can't imagine a scenario where NEWAG isn't blackballed from all future EU contracts for pulling this stunt.

You came to the wrong neighborhood

Europe has cars with towing packages that aren't trucks

Why not both?

Solar panels require a specific grade of silicone as a rare(ish) raw material input that requires extraction and heavy processing. Wind turbines don't really use anything that is not readily available (steel, aluminum, fiber glass, etc.)

The technology to recycle solar panels still needs to be developed. The technology to recycle solar panel blades exists, but has not scaled up yet.

I'm not saying solar/wind have no material cost. I am saying the process for refining uranium requires extracting a lot of uranium ore.

Don't forget about the environment cost of extracting unprocessed uranium ore.

Mfs need scholarships to join clown colleges now.

Counter offer: a bill that will limit the purchase of 3D printers to people with a criminal history.
