Game changer for people who can’t stand controllers, and for all the great non controller designed games on games pass. Can’t wait!

• Spend EVERY day having a press announcement on it and bashing the GOP with the latgest bully pulpit on the planet
• Expand and pack the court
• Push a court case that it was their duty.
• Push a case that it threatened national security based on issues it was holding up.
• Move to just put someone in the seat regardless and let it get argued in the courts meanwhile the seat is filled.
• withhold all federal funds to any state who’s senator was blocking it
• Any number of creative parliamentary maneuvers that let the GOP decide everything even when they’re in the minority
• BREAK ALL NORMS, just like the GOP did in stealing th pick. But Dems roll over and play victim. It’s all they EVER do, even when they control Hoise, Senate and POTUS at the same time.

There’s a ton of other shit too, but you get the point. Obama was quiet most days and played victim, bc the billionaires who owned him and who he bailed out of the financial crisis told him to ge a good boy and he did.

But theyre not recycled much–YET.

Agree and excitedly look forward to growth in that market (or even having a market for it). They will eventually become a profitable recycling opportunity. Unless one of the other battery techs (tons of them) in development just completely supplanted them. Either way the impact should diminish over time. Main questions are how fast and long will they continue to be an environmental negative.

Rechargeable nickel–cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH), lithium-ion (Li-ion) and nickel–zinc (Ni-Zn), can also be recycled. Disposable alkaline batteries make up the vast majority of consumer battery use, but there is currently no cost-neutral recycling option.

EDIT: You can read further down how close some of these companies are to an actual recycling center. They’re getting there!

After the upcoming Civil War. I’m not advocating for it, but I definitely think it’s inevitable.

Billionaires have paid BOTH Republicans and Democrats for this legal victory. It’s another reason Obama didn’t fight hard for his pick, and why the dems didn’t stop Drunky McRape from getting a seat.

Theater was fine, but this is what all those campaign “donations” (read bribes) were for.

I seriously can’t recommend Kagi enough! Make an account and do a hundred searches (FREE) that aren’t monetized and/or used to advertise to you or steal your data. It’s incredible what a difference it makes.

When a fact looks like propaganda to you, then you need to recognize the red flag and seek self improvement.

I still support moving this direction because it creates the necessary infrastructure that can be leveraged by newer battery tech. And likely even with the batteries, it’s better than diesel.

I don’t know how to help you read.

You sound like a demagog who feels attacked when faced with facts or genuine issues. Advocating for improvements to the technology isn’t being anti-EV or even anti-battery. LOL. #faceplam&sigh

EDIT: Why on earth are people downvoting improving battery technology? LMFAO, sometimes this place is batshit crazy.

There’s research into many different formulations that don’t use nearly as much (or in some cases any) toxic materials, solid-state batteries, etc.

Are you taking the critique personally? If so, that’s a misunderstanding. It’s not an attack on you.

It’s simply a fact there’s a LONG way to go on battery tech, and anything we can do to increase power density while decreasing weight is critical to making them more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

I love EVs and truly believe they’re the future. But holy shit what must these monsters weigh? And, what’s the environmental impact considering our current shitty battery tech?

I still support moving this direction because it creates the necessary infrastructure that can be leveraged by newer battery tech. And likely even with the batteries, it’s better than diesel.

But the new batteries to make them lighter and less polluting can’t come soon enough.

In most red states, it is literally impossible for the GOP to win a state-wide election without massive voter suppression efforts. No shocker here. Nobody hates democracy more than Republicans.

Edit: Just like Florida, Texas is easily blue if elections there were fair, and voting wasn’t intentionally made difficult for minorities and blue counties.

Its not that people have missed the joke, it’s that the joke is poorly formed and not hyperbolic enough to be funny, instead it’s rather a half joke and brings up a larger issue (intentional or not), that undermines the attempt at absurdist humor.

I find Dunning-Kruger to be funny.

I don’t envy you that miserable decision. And I get that you’ve evaluated everything and personally feel it’s worth gambling that they don’t fuck you and make it pointless, all that effort, bringing the game to market.

I’m rooting for you here, and I hope everything works out!

I feel just as awful for anyone who has an overwhelming port or even an impossible port. It’s just miserable.

End state capitalism, the coportocracy / oligarchy using the legal system they control to wield the fascist police forces against the people who don’t behave like they’re told. Meanwhile, taxing what little those people have to pay the salaries of those forces abusing them.

I mean, the studios are doing it right and following SOP.

They wrote the DCMA, used the congress they bought to pass it, the president the bought to sign it into law, and now will use the FBI and local militarized police to impose their will by force.

Constituon was an obstacle they did away with when they bought the Supreme Court.

For this reason, he said, “we stand firmly against a political instrumentalization” of the Convention.

Which is exactly whats happening. And in the process its demeaning and devaluing the convention. Much like happens constantly in Lemmy WorldNews.

Israel’s six legal representatives asserted that the ICJ has no jurisdiction over the complaints brought by South Africa since they relate to the laws of armed conflict, not genocide; argued that “random” inflammatory comments of Israeli politicians did not reflect policy determined in the state bodies making war policy; and insisted that the widespread harm to Palestinian civilians during the war was a result of Hamas’s massive use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes, and not genocidal acts

It’s nice when sanity and reality rear their heads. That’s going to rial up the Hamas members and supporters here ON Lemmy.

Wait, people are still using Unity after they clearly demonstrated they’ll fuck you on a whim? Honestly, seems like everyone’s been given a fair warning about dealing with these scumbags. I get migrating a codebase is a motherfucker, and sometimes it is even easier to redevelop much or all of the project. But again, if you’re renting retail space from someone who is a psychopath, bipolar, and an arsonist (Unity in this case), and they might burn your shop down at any moment, sometimes you gotta move!

Because when your legislators write laws (read, have them handed to them by the party with a direct interest) they do it for campaign donations because everything is money. Capitalism’s end stage is corporatocracy and oligarchy. Surprise, we’re there! Legislation in a healthy democracy/republic is written for the benefit of the citizens, but we stopped being a democratic republic long ago. In capitalism, legislation is written to maximize profit at all expense, including the health, welfare, and best interests of the citizens.

This isn’t new, study the history of the East India Trading Company. The difference is lack a monarch to dissolve the company (and it’s not just one company anymore). The founders remembered the lesson of East India Trading Company and corporate charters in the US used to be temporary, and you had to show a benefit to the citizens. It’s one reason conservatives, republicans, and capitalists don’t want strong education and history lessons. Corporations in the past were NOT people, and they better benefit society or they could swiftly have their charter revoked and dissolved.

This is a repeat, but even more successful than in the past. But when your populous has no education it seems brand new!

If you’re not using it, then you’re going to be extremely happy when you switch!

All mine hate capitalism. Though, I think we’re saying the same thing. ;)

Just reading a mild, reasonable, even keel’d post made my day. I appreciate you!
