Even with the lithium mining, an EV will reach “pollution parity” with a comparable sized ICE vehicle anywhere from 6 months to 5 years on the road, largely depending on what is powering the electrical grid (coal fired electricity being the 5 year), with the average being 1-2 years. That means that an EV from 2023 on average has caused less total pollution than an ICE vehicle of the same age.

On top of that, there has been significant progress made in recycling these batteries so that less lithium needs to be mined, as well as using other metals such as sodium, both sodium ion and sodium iron batteries are commercially available.

were fine with that because shit should just work.

… I don’t think there’s any combination of those that are good. Best option still has you shitting blue.

From someone who does this for a living… vary your names and addresses. Less chance of collisions if your suite teardown fails to clean up properly. Depending on your needs, having a hard-coded unique name/address per test can be fine, or if you’re using Python, there’s a library called Faker that will generate ISO-valid test data. It’s also a bit easier to see where a teardown failed if maybe an exception got swallowed.

Both, really. Shitty social support in that he likely had an F-tier education, leading to being obsessed with power.

PS/Xbox controllers have more internal space, so their joystick modules are much, much larger than what goes in the joycon. That means they can have more material in the potentiometers, meaning less susceptible to wear and dust/dirt intrusions.

That can be such an annoying one to get to depending on where the nearest oil patch is.

possibly an attrition tactic? If they completely destroy the bridge, then Russia might just abandon it and transport stuff there via plane/boat instead. Damaging it just enough that it’s cheaper to fix than to set up a new supply chain, over and over, could be more costly in the long run, and regularly divert construction resources. Not to mention the impact that constantly disabling the bridge could have on Russian civilians in the area - i.e. “how is Ukraine always damaging this bridge?”

Could also be psychological - having the bridge there and hitting it over and over and over sends a pretty clear message.

Same group of people who joked about sexually assaulting her while she was underage… so no.

No different really to the US’ “post-slavery” sharecropping.

Internships for software are almost always paid, and compared to other disciplines, paid reasonably well. $30+/hr in Canada is fairly normal for dev/qa internships, and I’ve heard from several students that I’ve interviewed that they’ve made more in US companies. Some companies also offer raises for students that return for successive terms.

Doesn’t need to be any design flaws, a few minutes with a welder and/or a truck load of concrete at the door once they’re in there would render the whole billionaire problem “solved”, Hotel California style.

My high school in the latter half of the 90’s tried zero tolerance… briefly. Fighting got worse under the policy, cuz us kids figured if we’re gonna catch a suspension, might as well earn it.

I’ve settled on soaps that don’t aggravate my psoriasis and have an agreeable scent. They do happen to be “men” soaps, but absent another option or if I’m not at home, then I was with what’s available.

The only exception is my beard wash/oil/balm. I bring that shit with me.

We have that in Ontario, and as a kid my cub/scout troop would go around town and ask people to give us their empties as a fundraiser. We’d return them and use the money to buy camping supplies and stuff.

I love you
