I guess that’s good? They’re saying they won’t be in full swing until 2030. I know, “best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago, second best is now” but just seems given the situation there has to be a way to speed things up

I do like the group name “friends in law” like we’re all one happy law breaking family

As others here say, we would modify the materials to fit our purpose. There are some increasingly tall buildings made from wood, I saw some neat YouTube videos about them and how they process the wood and press layers together to improve strength.

Yeah I just block communities in languages I don’t speak. But maybe that doesn’t occur to some users.

I think also helpful to remember that many have died just from being punched and their head hitting the pavement. If a bike knocks someone over there’s always the potential for serious injury, especially for older folks.

I don’t get it, does India require speed limiters on ebikes?

Reminds me of Harlan Ellison’s short story, “I have no mouth, and I must puke”

As others have said, seems like it would have a counterproductive effect.

Punishment or inflicting pain tends to engender sympathy for the one being hurt.

That said, sometimes political assassinations have been effective based on the criteria of the assassin. I’m reminded of the guy in Japan who shot Shinzo Abe.

Every new technology is initially more expensive, then as it moves into mass production the cost goes down because of economies of scale - more suppliers, innovations in technique.

Battery costs have gone down an insane amount already, and it doesn’t look like they’re done.

Going further, what percentage of accidents affect the battery pack? The article seems to conflate Tesla manufacturing techniques that make cosmetic repairs difficult with all electric vehicles - just because Tesla has long repairs doesn’t mean all manufacturers do.

It also talks about electric manufacturers going out of business, but is it 15% by number of businesses or by manufacturing volume? Lucid and Rivian aren’t making that many cars in terms of absolute volume, but could go under. Hyundai, Kia, Chevy et al. make a lot more cars and seem unlikely to collapse.

From your other comments seems like you’re trolling.

But for anyone else reading this: I had seen numbers between 10-20% from Michigan and Minnesota for people who voted “uncommitted” in the primaries. There is smaller turnout for primaries than general elections, and democrats are only half or so of the turnout at the general election.

It’s extremely unlikely that a 3rd party candidate will win with a fraction of the primary voters who are a fraction of the general election voters. If people went forward with a 3rd party candidate it does seem likely it could throw the election to Trump.

I support the uncommitted campaign in so far as it alarms Biden about losing voters who want to see action protecting Palestinians and makes him change his positions.

I don’t think those same people should vote 3rd party during the general election because of the classic bullshit choice we have to keep making: the lesser of two evils.

Let’s also remember: there are many obstacles to even getting listed on the ballot, and those requirements vary state by state. Even if someone well funded decided to run today, it’s unlikely they could get their name on the ballot in every state. (So add ballot access reform to the wishlist along with ranked choice voting and eliminating the electoral college)

Needs legislation! When everybody’s doing it and people need to get around, there should be privacy by law

This fictional character doing something has restored my faith in humanity

I’ll vote third party anytime someone has a realistic chance to win, but that’s not the U.S. presidential election. There’s a reason for the trope “throwing your vote away”.

In an ideal world we’d get rid of the electoral college and implement ranked choice voting. Until then, the primaries are where we maybe have some chance to influence who becomes president.

The human brain loves wordplay that doesn’t really mean anything.

While residents own their homes, they still have to pay rent for the lot, and each time a trailer park is sold the new owner looks to recoup their investment one way or another.

Good news in the states at least is resident owned communities have started to see a lot of success, check it out.

You know what they say, “if you don’t ask you don’t get”

It really makes you wonder how some people make their way through life.

Very helpful to know, thank you. Of course now I’m somewhere that uses zoho which is inferior for a variety of reasons.

I do think it’s strange that there’s no native/default accommodation. Every organization has to handle contacts who aren’t with an account anymore.

Yes, I think all the contacts should be retained, because those interactions are useful information. And at the one company we did have a custom checkbox field for “not at the company anymore”, but I would really like that information to change the way the records are displayed. Like if I’m looking at an account page, and I’m looking at the list of contacts, the ones who are still there should be listed first, and the people who are gone should be grayed out or something. Having to open each record one at a time is cumbersome, and the page load times are so bad.

In the two organizations I’ve been at we didn’t use the lead object at all, it was all contacts. At the one place we did have a custom checkbox field for “no longer at the company” but that didn’t change how the contacts were displayed at all.
