Ingredients listed separately from directions, so when I read “Add the tomatoes and stir” I have to leave my place in the directions to find out how much tomatoes.

You’re supposed to prepare your ingredients before you start cooking. Its called mise en place. There might not be be enough time to go dice 2 tomatoes before the pot starts to burn. But if you already have them in a bowl ready to go, you can just add them when the recipe says. This also helps with your next point about doing things simultaneously.

Like most things in life, a little bit of prep and planning beforehand can make a big difference.

I think a bigger part of the production emissions come from further up the supply chain than the factory. Such as extraction, refinement and shipping of the lithium and cobalt required for batteries. That is also what makes it hard to estimate.

My point was that switching to EVs will not make transportation emissions disappear.

An EV still produces about 30% of the lifetime CO2 emissions of an equivalent ICE, assuming a 100% clean grid [1]. So unless we change the systems that are putting more and more cars on the road, and increasing vehicle miles traveled each year, emissions will continue to rise.

Cars only really became available to the public in the 20s or 30s. I bet your city was overrun by cars by the 50s. Cities drastically changed over just a few decades. Why should it take significantly longer to go in the reverse direction? Other than a lack of political will.

edit: I’m not against EVs overall. I know there will always be a need for cars/trucks to some extent, and I think they should all be EVs. But don’t let that be a distraction from actual meaningful climate action.

I interpreted the meteors/city on fire as short hand for general armageddon because it is probably pretty hard to draw; in a single comic panel: droughts, crop failure, wild fires, floods, severe storms, wars over fresh water, etc. You know, the actual things that will kill people from climate change.

But if you interpret the meteors as literal, then what is the point of the comic? A swarm of meteors is not influenced at all by someones choice to drive an EV or not. So this comic is no longer a critique of that choice.

This comic seems to imply that the outcome of climate change will be dependent on individuals’ choice of personal vehicle, and not on the cars themselves or the systems that keep people reliant on them. EVs will not save us from climate change. They are an attempt to prolong the life of the auto industry as we move into a future that must move past motornormativity.

Marvel is copaganda.

The most recent Intel Core 2 Duo was discontinued in 2008. I doubt Intel would be able to convince anyone that this is a competing product or would cause any customer confusion. No one is going to be looking for a low end processor from over a decade ago and accidentally buy a watch.

Does it use just standard watch bands? It looks like it, but I didn’t see it mentioned.

One of the things I find ridiculous about other smart watches is that they use proprietary bands. When I found out that people are paying $60+ for a silicon band for an Apple watch, it blew my mind. Also that people put screen protectors or cases on their Apple watches because their $500+ watch doesn’t even have a crystal lens, and is prone to scratching.

Cost of doing business. He knew what he was getting into.

If he wanted a safer job, he should have become a cop so he can just shoot whatever danger there is.

When this labourer falls, its his employer’s insurance that is going to make a payout. The cost of the insurance policy is wrapped up into the contract price that the landowner paid to have the construction done. So ultimately it is the owner that looses out.

tldr is good for this.

Just use KDE?

It is just KDE though. Its just a plasma skin. But what you get by installing Wubuntu instead of a proper distro, and then applying a skin, is supporting a developer with a history of bad security practices and poor behavior. Not to mention the potential copyright issues. This whole project will probably die when Microsoft realises that someone is using their name and trademarks to sell a competing project.

Even if you have 100% confidence in your own provider, you also need 100% confidence in every other recipients provider, which is basically impossible.
