I remember Beto also having a real chance. Then reality hit me in the face like a ton of bricks.

God I hope so.

Sadly no, I’m in heavily gerrymandered Texas. I hope for the day when we swing purple.

I waited 30 mins in line yesterday to vote early and brought a first time voter with me. I plan on hauling more people on Thursday, including another first time voter who I peer pressured into voting by offering a free lunch.

It’s also been archived for a year with no revamp in sight.

What insurance companies? They all backed out of Florida years ago. Now it’s state funded home insurance footing the bill.

The problem is this automatic litter box was bought from Amazon, which was being resold from Aliexpress. People have some level of trust in Amazon. Misplaced trust I would say, as it becomes littered with sketchy 3rd party sellers who have no responsibility to their customers.

It’s almost as if nuanced discussion is discouraged on platforms like this.

Tried from Mullvad’s exit nodes in HK and Singapore. Didn’t seem to work.

Got a source? I’m genuinely curious about that, since I know cold fusion has been long considered the holy grail of energy generation. I just want to hope that it isn’t mere science fiction now :(

China built 37 of them in the last 10 years according to the article. It doesn’t take forever, it just takes foresight and planning, which most of the Western world lacks beyond the next quarter profits lol.

The baseline capacity nuclear provides can get evolving countries like China out of the fossil fuel phase, which is critically important. I don’t know what your problem is with nuclear, it’s been a relatively safe and stable form of energy generation that’s far better than any fossil fuel.

Edit: and I just read the top comment in the thread that they’re building a fuckton of coal plants too. Damn it.

There is a lot of investment in energy storage solutions. Everyone knows how critically important energy storage is for our climate change present and future, and whoever develops the best and most scalable solution first will make billions of dollars.

Nuclear fission doesn’t get that much investment afaik due to overblown radiation fears, while safe cold fusion is the real end goal of energy generation and deserves more investment than it gets now.

Nuclear is a good middle step to full renewable, it’s not the end goal. There’s not enough storage capacity right now for energy usage at night, which is where nuclear can fill the gap until efficient energy storage can be achieved.

Tesla’s plug. Nearly every auto manufacturer has announced changing to it in future EV generations.

Fair enough, I went lease because everyone’s going NACS soon.

I just leased an Ioniq 6 from a Hyundai dealership end of October. The salesperson was great, but she didn’t know anything about EVs, especially their own. She even admitted it was the first one she’s sold.

I went back a week ago and found the same 5 Ioniq 6’s sitting there. I’m pretty sure they’ll stay there for quite a while.

And miss out on all the struggle and suffering of figuring out how to build a compose file over many hours? Who would want to miss out on that?

All kidding aside, I had not heard about dockge. I might give it a try, see what it can do with my existing compose file.

I went full EV a month ago with an Ioniq 6. Love it so far.

Looks like this is still routing through dealerships, not direct to customers:

The structure still rewards dealerships, unlike the direct sales models that completely sidestep the business model. When vehicles go on sale at Amazon, the local Hyundai dealer will be the seller of record.
