That so ridiculous it’s funny as hell.

I’d far prefer the huntsman to bedbugs. Huntsmans are pretty chill and eat bugs for you.

The base load argument doesn’t hold water any more - not when there are places which are progressing towards being totally free of base load. Eg. South Australia is already nearly all renewable power with in-fill from batteries and transient gas power when needed. They’re still currently getting some base load from other states but it’s small and gradually being phased out.

They’re not economically feasible anywhere right now. Unfortunately nuclear power is very expensive compared to all the alternatives. Unless there’s some radical breakthrough I can’t see much nuclear being built in the future. No company would pay such a huge up-front cost to produce uneconomic electricity.

So the strict answer is - no, they’re not feasible everywhere. And also not feasible pretty much anywhere.

Hilariously non self aware.

But they don’t want anyone to get out.

It’s actually 25. But it’s amazing to think that people in Florida can get 30 years just for possessing some weed. I think it might be the US that has the problem here.

Remember the Samsung battery issues being all over the news a few years ago and everyone saying, “Apple never has these problems”? Meanwhile Apple was literally breaking people’s phones to reduce fires and paying people off to keep quiet about their battery fires. Nice. 🔥

Post-1980s tech companies maybe. But not most companies, no.

USB is the new defacto standard DC outlet. It’s only suitable for fairly low power (240W) though. That’s enough to charge your laptop but not enough to run a gaming PC.

Wow. That’s horrible. The US health system sounds like a dystopian nightmare.

there’s basically nothing out there for laptops that comes close to the M2 Pro

The Intel Core i9-13980HX laptop CPU is between 20% and 100% faster than the M2 Max on nearly every benchmark.

Basically few to non-existent cases where M2 is faster than either Intel or AMD’s best. On power consumption however it’s a total win for Apple. But performance… No. Not in any way.

Compared to Apple?

I don’t think 41 states realise that kids wouldn’t touch Facebook if you forced them. Instagram on the other hand…

They’re deliberately drafting troops from rural areas as much as possible to minimise the number of angry parents in the major cities who might actually mount a visible complaint.

So skeptical. And then a few hours later the US gives its blessing for exactly that: https://lemmy.ml/post/6687184 .

And the Israeli defense chief says “troops will soon see Gaza ‘from inside’”

It’s not like they have a choice about their government. There’s no voting and hasn’t been for decades.

The Gaza strip ceases to exist when it’s taken by force and “settlers” move in so it becomes part of Israel. Millions of Palestinians die in refugee camps.

On the other hand when you pay for a service you’re the customer, not the product. That can be an advantage.
