The bar is low, feel free to use it as a step ladder.

Seriously, some are so bad you could probably use their exhaust as fuel with a little work.

Cold temps: only where it's cold, can be mitigated through design, mostly only affects range. Diesel ceases to be liquid at cold temperatures, and much engineering has gone into making it and engines that run on it viable in cold weather. Most EV manufacturers have already figured out decent civilian tech solutions to this problem for EVs.

rough usage: EV's have less moving parts, less fluids, can have their parts better sealed against the environment (less need for air cooling overall) and don't "breathe" oxygen like ICE do. It's a lot easier to ruggedize things that move less, and low weight doesn't seem to be a high priority for most military vehicles.

low infrastructure: Logistics wins wars, this is a problem for gas vehicles too, and you either have the supply lines you need, or you don't. EV's make a lot more sense for operations within range of a base, obviously, but a base that can make its own power (either solar or nuclear) that fuels its defensive and patrol vehicles without an oil supply would be slightly more self sufficient. (Which is moot anyway, because humans need food). The military already contends with vulnerable infrastructure as well. This is an example of how fuel (and water) is often stored on US bases.

Water immersion: Yeah, combustion engines hate this too. Motors and battery packs can be sealed, an engine cannot be since it needs to consume air to function.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

like, even bash, cat, ls, etc?

😬

If I had that kind of access I certainly would.

The thing is, the game theorists aren't wrong. If you want to vote your feelings, that's your right. It's exactly what the ~1/3 of Trump supports are doing.

And much like them, you aren't even required to understand the consequences of your actions to do so! (Assuming you're privileged enough to never have to face them, of course)

If it's not a democracy, then what is it? I think the onus is on you to at least provide a hypothesis.

(And yes, it's a constitutional republic, I'm not here to play word games)

The world is burning, and instead of the bare minimum of voting against the guy holding gas cans, you want to ... complain about the marketing.

wow

You're gonna get Bust. Vote third party if you want, that's your right (assuming you're a U.S. citizen of course), but a vote for third party is lowering the bar of victory for the worst human alive to hold that office.

You don't have to understand the consequences of your actions, but that's what they are. More genocide, foot on the accelerator towards climate catastrophe, pouring gasoline on what's left of women's rights and setting them on fire.

It's easy to write "fuck literally everyone except the enemies of my enemies" on a piece of paper and throw it in the trash, I don't understand why you'd go through the trouble of voting if that's all you want to do. There are FAR more effective methods of protest.

That's your right. You aren't even required to understand that the consequences of your actions are that you're making it easier for a guy who said he wants to be a Dictator, a guy who said he "wants to finish the problem" with regards to Palestinian genocide, a guy who has probably just been outright purchased by a conglomerate of foreign influence.

You're giving that guy a helping hand.

And that's your right.

Hurrian Hymn No. 6 is older than that (1400BCE, so 3400 years in the past vs 3060 in the future) and composers were doing covers in 2009.

There are 3000 year old Greek depictions of Lyre players and we know of famous musicians that won competitions from 2500 years ago.

Don't be so sure no one will know.

That's a deep reference. Real deep.

Forget the Coyote Bao, I'll have the Æthelwolf Wellington

on osx it is 😆

They should merge with RadioShack and that company that rented DVD's out of ATM's in front of gas stations.

my cat: The water has stopped moving, therefore it is poison.

Just trying to help you with your quest

sorry, I forget not everyone on Lemmy has been programmed with all the trek.

The Dr who built Data and his brother Lore is named Soong. Lore admonishes the colonists from their original colony for often rhyming Soong with "song": in the episode "Brothers" https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/c229ded1-b29c-40ca-b446-0adfb7e36b43
