I would field a guess, that this person is super angry about being left behind in the ever growing tech industry. Some of the complaints are valid, but directing them at specifically Valve seems super weird, since they are currently the best company concerning user-experience.
It’s kinda beautiful. Like an artwork perfectly depicting human nature.
Donald Glover as a trans man? I’m currious what makes them think that? Either way, dudes a fucking legend and is welcome in any community I’m in.
If he said what needs to be done, he’d be imprisoned immediately for inciting violence against the president, and for planning a coup. Until he has troops on his side, he can not tell you what actually has to happen.
They think 21% are transgender too… A lot of propaganda has gone through these people.
Same as with any other? You pick one flavour first, and then another.
Many of them even let you choose one to mix with when you choose a flavour.
It really does. Situated in Europe, there is no more wildlife to destroy. What wildlife could be destroyed by cats was decimated 10.000 years ago by people. At this point cats are important to cull rat and mice populations. Europe doesn’t have nature anymore, and it hasn’t in a very long time.
I’ve started using a wireless charger. It’s been so much better because I regularly had to clean lint and wood dust out of the charging hole.
Not completely right. The middle can just be a piece of chain as well, but it needs to be under tension. Steve Mould explains it very well in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0onncd0_0-o
Don’t get me wrong, I hope it does, but realistically the EU will likely just ignore the petition by giving a quick no vote and continue with their lives.
Because of innovation.
Let’s say we make 4 standard sizes today. Type A (25kwh), Type B (50kwh), Type C (75kwh) and Type D (100kwh). These 4 different batteries have different sizes, because energydensity and all that.
In 3 years some company finds a much better way to store electricity. Now they can pack 50kwh into a 25 kwh pack (with the same linear progression through the other types. So now you’d need a Type A1 and Type A2, Type B1 and Type B2… and so forth. Now you have 8 different kinds.
Sure you could just reuse the obsolete batteries for something else, or strip them down to their materials and use those, but that would be so incredibly wasteful in energy, that the green option, would be to offer both. That way someone who only needs a type B1 for their commute, can save a bit of money, while the company isn’t forced to replace all the batteries. But now you have a shitload of different batteries in your storage.
In 3 years time some new company have made an even better battery. The batteries should be able to function for more than 6-ish years, in fact, many places have warrenties for 10+ years, so just determining that they’re done and needs replacing isn’t a viable option at this point. So now you need 12 different kinds of batteries.
Sure you may not need as many of each battery with each new generation, but you’re still going to need an excess of what you expect to have to need. Otherwise your customers will choose your competitor when you run out of their particular battery.
But the absolute biggest issue is. How many batteries would you need in a city like Tokyo at a single battery swapping station? 100 isn’t going to do it, 1000 is probably more realistic. How do you store 1000 batteries in a city like Tokyo? Buy a skyscraper, knock it down and build a storage building? You’ll be half a billion in dept from the start and won’t break even in your lifetime.
In short. Swappable batteries is an attempt to overengineer a problem that has an insanely simple solution. Patience. Who knows, maybe in 20 years you’ll be able to charge 50kwh in 5 minutes anyway?
Biggest problem I see with this is storage. A Fiat Punto sized car will need a smaller battery than a Peugeot 5008. Even if a place like the EU were to force standised tech to make Peugeot batteries to be interchangable with VW or BYD, the amount of different batteries due to car size will make swappable batteries require a rediculous amount of storage space. So how do you get that kind of space in the middle of London? Or Tokyo?
I think just growing a patience and planning when and where to charge is a much more efficient way of going about it.
Charge while you’re shopping, or while the car is parked at your job, or while you’re picking up the kids from school.
And really all it took to debunk it was my 6 year old self after having heard it (from a teacher none the less), and putting sweet food on the spot that could supposedly only sense sour stuff.
How this myth has ever spread is beyond me…
Just tried this with ChatGPT, stupid thing doesn’t think rabbits and cows lay eggs. Instead it started talking about the sizes of egg cells in mammals.
A lot of those problems is 100% fixable through the settings menu…
While you’re waiting, innocent people are going to die. Your inaction is actively aiding the fascists.

My first thought was “surely Bush is too fucking old to be able to shoot anyone”, but surprise, Bush, who hasn’t been the president for nearly 20 years, is younger than Trump…
But have you considered how this is hurting him personally? His poor little fascist feelings?
I don’t mind remasters per se. Diablo 2 Resurrected was absolutely awesome, and they didn’t really change that much. Just modernised the graphics and made som some qol adjustments.
