Strictly speaking, it’s classified as a “series hybrid” powertrain.

It runs like shit today. Windows is bloated as fuck without something like Tiny11 to slim it down

I’d never buy a Nissan Leaf solely because of the air-cooled battery

Stop subsidizing corn. A crazy amount of US crops just get turned into animal feed or ethanol.

I just don’t use services that don’t work with Firefox. Easy.

Sounds like a job for flex tape! /s

3 million abandoned wells is wild. I had assumed that most of the methane pollution in the US was from industry or cattle.

Then they would all drive diesel trucks with modified exhaust and floor it between stop signs

I’m not having children to compete with other people. I don’t want to be responsible for bringing a life into this world only to suffer as crops fail and wars for resources rage.

In America, school teachers are paid shit wages, and guns are everywhere. Quality of life is decreasing as wages stagnate, the rich get richer, and democracy slowly turns into fascism. The oceans are getting hot enough to kill the fish, and they keep getting hotter. Microplastics are literally everywhere, and we’re still learning how bad that is.

We’ve already passed the Paris Climate Accord global warming limit, and the yearly global greenhouse gas emissions are still increasing to record levels. 1.5C of warming was supposed to be the doomsday limit, but now they say 2C isn’t that bad? The moving target for the global warming limit is a joke, and the poor and impoverished are the punchline.

Sure, I get the urge to have children, but I’ve already gone through the 7 stages of grief myself about it.

I can afford kids, but fuck making them live through this climate collapse we’ve created. I’ll adopt if I really want a kid.

I’m actually scared to dual boot. I’ve heard too many stories of Windows updates messing up the bootloader

After trying Windows 11 for a while, I just gave up and installed Kubuntu on my computer. I still use a Windows VM for some things, but I make sure to firewall the shit out of it lol

The term “SDV” is pretty much an industry standard in automotive engineering

I mean, it’s true. Network-connected devices are inherently a cyber security risk.

Far right conservatives around the globe are using the same playbook.

Does my 1 hour each way commute count as time to myself? Because my company certainly seems to think so

Great, so the US is going to marginally cut their greenhouse gas emissions. Unfortunately, this is a global problem, and globally, we achieved record emissions this year.

Eh, I’m in this category. Why save money for retirement, when I could just enjoy today? Is life ever going to get better than right now?

What’s the point of living a worse life right now to bank on a retirement that may or may not happen in a world which will be measurably worse in almost every way? Rich people and politicians don’t give a fuck about climate change.

Eh, it’s also a convenience problem. If I want to watch a specific movie, good luck figuring out what streaming service it’s on. It’s so nice to be able to just watch what I want without that hassle.

For music, I think yes. For other forms of media, not so much.

This is the result of decades of having management full of people with finance degrees rather than technical degrees. They cut costs because they don’t understand worth. Same thing happened with Southwest Airlines.
