$4 for the cheapest at the cheapest grocery store near Charlotte, NC. Limit 2 per customer too

Ivysaur completely evades me, as did weezing until a couple days ago when I pulled 2 full-art in one pack

Except it went dark before the law had a chance to be enforced, and was back up before trump was ever in office and able to use executive orders. So points 3 and 4 have nothing to do with the actual law and are decisions completely from within tiktok

Would love something like this for field notes, though for my uses a eink screen would be preferable. Hopefully this or the equivalent takes off and we can start getting fun variables in the future!

This isn’t a young person problem and it isn’t new, it’s just getting worse. See Fox news on Trump 8 years ago or more through now

For sure, though I get the op point that at least Trump pretends to promise them something unlike every other group

Make one then coward

Be billionaire and outbid Netanyahu

Most countries have deep economic ties to most wealthy countries, we’re in a global economy. Even subsistence farmers in subsaharan Africa buy more of their seeds than you can imagine from Chinese companies that do the bulk of their R&D in the US and western Europe, if US policy becomes extremely isolationist that will affect them.

Also, the US is one of the biggest climate emitors, if that ramps up instead of decreasing the whole world will feel that too.

Best of luck!

They hang out here because America is currently one of/the best wealth engines on the planet and they can afford to avoid the shit parts. Once either of those stop they’ll go somewhere else that’s nicer

There is some panicking prompted by the horrible things he’s promised to do but probably can’t, but:

-He got Roe v. Wade overturned, stripping rights from Americans while also being responsible for a 3% increase in infant mortality in the US, the first significant increase in decades

-about as many people died of COVID as voted for Jill Stein, and while Trump isn’t responsible for all their deaths he significantly worsened the problem.

So I’d say beyond shit

I mean, the projected winner maps aren’t the US government’s decision, it’s what whatever news your watching has modelled as settled with an acceptable margin of error based on current information. Realistically they could have called most of the states months ago with that same error, some organizations just veil it more

A pride flag pin is not political swag but also correlates very strongly to voting blue, and far-right nutjobs could run with that

Look, I’m with you most of the way in theory, but a lot of rural areas don’t have plumbing and drinking water from public utilities, they have their own septic and water wells. I know it’s pedantic but a lot of parts of the world are so rural that it probably doesn’t make sense to have fully public transport, like it doesn’t make sense to have centralized water. The scope needs to be great systems within towns and cities and lots of park and ride hubs around the perimeter

I don’t normally bite but so much of this is wrong.

American here… If you never leave like a 40 mile radius of your home, and you don’t live in a location that sees extreme temperatures, and you don’t live in a hilly or rural area, they’re probably fine.

I work in agriculture and drive 120+ miles most days for work in very rural parts of the Southeast USA in my EV, and this summer the temperatures have been around to 100F with high humidity almost every day. I exclusively charge at home with the free level 2 charger that came with my car.

“I cut my gas expenses by going electric,”

CA seems to be an anomaly, but here gas was $3.44/gal this morning, electricity is ~$0.10/kwh. For my normal operations in my Honda accord, my weekly gas cost for work is ~$60. That same travel comes out to ~$15 in electricity, for a yearly saving of $2000+ in the EV. My electric bills have largely born this out. Additionally, in my area a new Chevy Bolt was the second cheapest vehicle with a warranty–a used mazda 3 with ~5k miles left on the warranty was $400 cheaper. The home charger came free with the purchase, so if you’re looking at cars with warranties (which many people without the time/skill/space to work on their own vehicles are) there are EVs that are hands-down cheaper to buy and run, and it’s not close.

Good for people that don’t care about cars and don’t travel much, but impractical for most people, IMO.

Road trips aren’t as good (except in a Tesla imo), but there’s very few advantages irl of modern gas cars over comparable modern EVs. Hell, my bolt, currently the cheapest EV on market (well, now discontinued), has most of the same performance specs as my '01 3-series BMW: same 0-60, same turn radius, same stopping distance, lighter with a similar center of gravity. The BMW is more fun out in the country (can’t beat the feel of a perfect manual shift), but the bolt easily beats the Honda which is the actual market-class comparison, and on crowded roads with merging the instant acceleration is a huge bonus.

A lot of advanced analytical tools in biotech at least are developed to be compute cluster compatible, and thus work best on unix-like CLI, e.g. Linux (or Mac with a bit of tinkering)

For many of those years it was the only electric pickup truck being advertised. And also, yes people do like the Tesla name. Musk and growing competition has done a ton to tank the reputation lately, but until just a couple years ago Tesla was far and away the best and most advanced electric car, and depending on your criteria the most advanced/best car period. Perception shifts slowly outside of well-informed groups, and the Musk hate is really only affecting well-informed left wing groups right now, so a lot of libertarian Musk fanboys are still fully on the Tesla train

Tariffs in general aren’t inherently bad if they protect domestic interests, especially against a foreign power that is subsidizing production as part of an economic power play. If Trump had limited his tariffs to China and Russia not included all of our allies I would have agreed with him. If we didn’t desperately need more EVs and if US automakers weren’t such colossal assholes about making good cheap EVs I’d agree with this one

Mirror every object. You don’t realize how many things are designed with a right-handed assumption unless you aren’t right handed. Also, most people can’t read well anymore because it’s all backwards

I don’t have specific papers but a lot of research into the origins of life on this planet go into that kind of thing! I know there have been interesting findings into using clay imprints for self replication, for instance
