The US is very unlikely to launch a physical invasion. It would be extremely foolish

It would be extremely foolish to avoid preparing to defend yourselves based on expecting this administration to avoid foolishness.

Steam Deck is awesome. Highly recommend, especially the OLED

Sports cars with good dual clutch autos are definitely still sports cars, I’m not at all about that sort of elitism. Just stating my own preference.

No offense taken at all, you’re right to draw attention to it!

Fair point, I think I agree. Just makes me feel ever so slightly called out for mentioning them frequently myself, though it’s pretty clear you’re not talking about regular users giving honest feedback so that’s more a “me” problem

you see ads on Lemmy?

It’s had it for at least months but even if its years old it’s still a cool feature and deserves attention

dual clutch auto in a sports car. can be really really good but still, if gas fueled sports car, should have three pedals.

Oh that queer hating fuck is still around?

Replacement batteries are really not a concern with EVs. They last longer than most folks expect and they come with pretty lengthy warranties.

It’s still ridiculous how expensive they are to repair or replace, and for sure that will hit some folks hard, but it really should be quite rare to replace an EV’s battery

Yes.

EVs are definitely better for the environment than ICE powered cads. But they won’t singlehandedly solve climate change, let alone all the harms when places prioritize single occupancy passenger cars at the expense of public transit.

And sure, I’m drawing a line here because cars are one of the precious few industries where you can still buy union-made.

Where do you draw that line?

You should also worry about if Chinese EVs meet reasonable labor standards. Which they don’t.

Replacing nazi cars with slave labor cars is a pretty fucked up idea.

These motherfuckers are actively making tech as a whole less secure by destroying any trust the public may have had in firmware updates.

Urgent security fixes are gonna go unpatched on a lot of shit because consumers are seeing more and more firmware or software updates actively making things WORSE.

The USA is not civilized enough for a federally operated and mandatory centralized medical records system. Not even close.

But It should have already existed for medical use. Back in 2010, it’s not insane.

If, hypothetically, a single centralized medical records system was established in 2010, the current administration would be able to get into it for their own nefarious purposes of tracking which people are getting gender affirming care, abortions, or anything else they feel like a pretense to go after the “undesirables”

Perhaps in this hypothetical it would have seemed overly paranoid in 2010, but current events clearly demonstrate that such paranoia is well-founded.

format it yourself? this is silly.

There should be some mechanism in place for Doctors to get this information quickly, and by nature that would probably involve the government

This is an insane proposal. If doctors could see such info, so too could the literal Nazis running the government. What you’re proposing as a centralized repository for medical info would instantly become a literal “round up these people and put them in camps” list.

talk about some really raunchy sex
