Temple Grandin would like a word.

Proof that we can in fact tax the poor to pay off national debts!

I thought it was just one of them and the other was an off worlder, which analagizes Dathon and Picard.

Bruh that delay was because of the PLANDEMIC!!111!!

Yeah. Stupid name even when I try to hype it up.

Gaming, television, and junk food.

Look up Edison Motors. Diesel is very efficient if operated at its optimal fuel/air mixture at the right rpm, like what happens in a generator. Emissions are already coming out of coal and gas plants. We have a problem today with infrastructure. Trying to skip the transition by going straight to electric only will not work at scale. This is already being proven. And zero emissions is a myth. What we're doing is shifting emissions upstream. Incremental improvements and gradual reductions using the existing infrastructure while the new infrastructure is organically built due to market pressure is the only way forward. Forcing the leap is failing and will continue to fail.

To clarify, it's the capacity, not the motors. Check out this garbage: https://youtu.be/3nS0Fdayj8Y The more load, the worse it gets for battery capacity. Even 200% improvement in battery capacity through innovation is not enough. Electric motors are clearly better in pretty much every way. But carrying literal tons of batteries with a reduced travel distance and hours of down time to charge is not going to work. If it did, tesla rigs would be flying out of the factories. Seriously, check out Edison Motors. Their electric truck is a balance of electric, battery capacity, and recharge with an onboard generator OR from the grid. You get the benefits of ICE and electric with no apparent pitfalls like electric only.

Nah... The loud foss users are like vegans. Plenty of us are quiet and actually donate to foss groups.

No real towing or load hauling capability. Edison is the only company that seems to be honest about that and is working to overcome the problem.

That's a nice way to put it.

How much money do you want to put into a setup? With $1000, you an get any of the really good printers, a different size nozzle, a few little tools, and plenty of filament.

5 eyes. Politicians are puppets.

So it's the judge biased or corrupt? Or maybe it's the garbage laws and politicians?

We have about 1 employee per 12 self checkout stations.

Yes. The technology options for self checkout in the US are terrible, so the user experience is terrible. All the horror stories in this thread are true. The stores are terrified of theft but refuse to hire checkers. There's also way too many grocery stores, so there's little money to put into technology upgrades and appropriate levels of staffing. For example, I am less than 5 minutes drive from 9 grocery stores. Extend that to 10 minutes and I've got over 20. Silly.

The modern stock market sucks ass. I'm convinced that most of the problems with companies is tied to focusing on stock price.

$5/mo

... per person.

Or $20 for 6 in your house. $240/yr for your family to use a search engine.

I mean... Come on! There's no way that's under 95% profit.

They charge an assload to use their service.

Former govt IT employee here. Trust me, you really don't want the govt in charge of media platforms. So what's the alternative? Well, at least in the USA, we have this idea of publishers and platforms baked into law, however, it's mostly ignored because right now because the govt and media are on the same side. (Heyoo! The fourth estate aligns with the fifth column.) What we need is to fortify that idea AND entrench net neutrality into a formal perpetual law AND codify all wireless and wired communications as public utilities.
