It is.

I’d rather establish licensing/training requirements for light truck operation. Nobody likes it when someone takes away their stuff. But convince them that the only people allowed to operate such heavy machinery are “elite” and they’ll gladly take pride.

Normal passenger car driver’s licenses in most of North America have such a comically low bar because people need them for life. You lose your license, you can’t live. It’s not just harder. You physically cannot get to work, get food, meet friends, etc. It’s bonkers. Solving that problem is hard. But making sure that people who really absolutely shouldn’t be driving something as dangerous as a truck can’t get one “just because it’s cool” is a different, much easier solved problem.

Awesome! Thanks!

Isn’t all non-quantitative language just… A Series Of Poor Choices? 😉

Love the name, BTW

Crash tests indicate native guardrail system can’t handle heavy electric vehicles

Fixed that headline for anybody who doesn’t read the article (which is better at explaining some of the nuance). AP is good, but not totally immune to clickbait titles.

Disclaimer: I am an EV owner.

EVs are quite a bit heavier when comparing within size class. From checking just a couple curb weights across similarly-sized vehicles, you can expect between 15% and 30% heavier.

But, to your point… if you instead compare between vehicles with a similar pricetag, EVs are about 15% lighter. When people go to budget a new vehicle, I expect many people are less willing to do the math to realize that trucks are extremely expensive to fuel and maintain, and so they’re lured in by the “utility” they provide, when in reality it’s substantially cheaper to rent one for the 10 days a year they need it.

With that said… you know what’s even better for humans than EVs? Trains. Buses. Diverse transit infrastructure!

Ahh, so… crypto, which is based on crypto, can be used to pay for treatments to crypto.

Got it.

Do you mean to say that crypto is based on crypto? Crazy!

Turns out there’s a lot of historical context. Also, whether it was God or Satan who influenced David is somewhat ambiguous thanks to quirks in translation.

If they could read the Bible, they’d be upset.

Yup. They would be.

Well, yea, that’s the problem. I shouldn’t have to “learn” a UI, things should be apparent and obvious.

Counterpoint: vim is very well liked for it’s UI, but there’s a very steep learning curve.

To your point, though, the learning process ideally ought to be seamless and linear; each new thing you can do with the application should be mostly obvious given what you already know about the UI, not force you to learn everything from scratch or do work to learn it (unless you’re into that kind of thing). I don’t think Discord is the worst offender of this rule, but they could make it better.

You’re right: it’s probably not practical to paint a building with the stuff. Nighthawkinlight briefly comments on this. I believe the idea is to use it on passive radiator panels to sink heat from a pumped coolant fluid. That way you can strategically place panels (e.g. on the roof) and control them, just like solar heating panels.

So, not trying to sympathize with Eich here, where do you get “alt-right” from?
