In general, any large vehicle like a pickup truck, will do horrific damage to animals (or people). It has far more to do with speed and weight, than the “hardness” or “sharpness” of the materials used. Crumple zones are more there to protect the occupants than whatever they hit.
High speed car accidents and roadkill are some of the most violent injuries one can witness.
It shows the importance of diversifying energy production. In Quebec it’s all hydro, but sometimes the weather means the reservoirs can get low over the years. It affects production in a serious way and can take time to build up again.
Wind and solar are also affected by weather patterns in their own ways. Maybe less so or at least maybe different factors. Hedging and balancing grid production is going to be a new challenge.
Fossil fuels did have the advantage of being pretty easy to ramp up or down, whenever, for whatever reason. Some countries might want to keep around older but very efficient fossil fuel plants as backups for these kinds of events. That or waste incineration for example.
May be an orange, but you sure have a smart system to alert you if the kibble is late.
An app is always a red flag, especially if it’s the only way you can interact with the device.
They literally all brag about not being educated, it’s not like they didn’t tell us. lol
French doesnt even have a word for jaywalking.
Yeah, I won $50 with scratch offs one time… I don’t recommend trying the lottery.
My advice for dating has always been: focus on making friends first. Meet people from work, sign up for a class, rekindle with old friends, volunteer somewhere. Just make new guy and girl friends, don’t go in looking for anything more.
You start inviting people for stuff, you’ll get invited to stuff. Then other people might show up to, friends of friends, relatives, etc… Such and such might not be into you, but she has a cousin the same age. Or such and such is a cool friend and he has a female best friend he brings along to parties.
Worst case scenario you are single and have a really healthy social life. Then when you least expect it… bam someone falls out from somewhere you never expected. lol
It was always shit, I promise you release day Tinder was not all that different from today. Maybe less expensive to use.
Hell, first dating advice I got was “use the websites that charge you for replies, people are more serious there”. lol, you used to have to pay to talk back prior to smartphones.
And they convinced several generations that using them is necessary for dating.
It’s just trying to get you engaged to ultimately pay. You can have matches and they’ll be super far in the cue forcing you to buy matches or access to seeing them.
The prices to make the apps functional are incredibly high.
Besides, I don’t think they need to engineer anything to be bad. Dating random people outside your social network and interests is just not a recipe for success. Much easier to date people in the same environment as you: work, school, friend group etc…
Dating apps cant do that. Matching people you kinda know is really weird and awkward lol
We could live without anything that uses ads to “sustain” itself. Nobody hosting ads on their service is doing so to “maintain” themselves. They just want profit for their labour… they are entitled too, but its a business choice, never a necessity.
And yeah if I use something, I’ll always pay for no ads. Ads cost so much more of our lifespans and contribute so fucking little to those that host them. Garbage.
I respect your take, but I think it is wrong.
Who’s houses are the datacenters being built next to?
I think Ai hate might be the single most unifying position in the west right now.
Most people didn’t even trust algorithmic automation before agents came along. lol
Some transit channels have uploaded mirrors to PeerTube but the numbers are minuscule compared to their Youtube channels.
Mass Effect was really just Bioware not wanting to pay for Star Wars again. Why not do the same and make a new Mass Effect worthy IP?
The trilogy told the story. Andromeda didnt really add much.
Wow, stereo TV, fancy.
The red one is for dangling.
All renewables are subject to some kind of weather impacts. A challenge with the grid is adapting to spikes in demand like if it’s really cold or hot one day in particular. You cant turn up the sun or wind on demand.
We’ve been having brown outs in Canada for the first time ever in the last few years. Its crazy to imagine since our electricity is so abundant. Same with France struggling with this heat wave.
