I love America… I fucking hate Trump, MAGA and the GOP.

I’m curious how you can take it back if I no longer have it. Say I spend it on activities and services, how can you recover it? Physical goods, you might be able to take those.

I have been thinking about both Palestine and Ukraine. I hear a lot of words, and indirect support via aid, money, weapons (in Ukraines case), but no matter how bad countries say it is, no one is willing to commit anything further to actually defend these people which sadly makes their words fall short to me

Assuming it was even “water” to begin with. Not a random chemical compound known to cause cancer because it flows better than water in the container.

The part of “Circle of Life” they neglected to tell you about in the Lion King

It’s just more FUD trying to keep away from it. We’re still a ways off of 100% renewables and nuclear can very much help fill in that gap without reliance on foreign oil or fossil fuels.

I’d say it’s also all the property owners who need occupancy to justify their costs

Lucid and Rivian, though I don’t know where they source their battery packs, but they’re probably the closest

It did that to me about a month ago. And the ads were interesting too. It thought I wanted lingerie

That’s a non-sequeter. You started by saying that internet on cars were bad and then switched to “you should be using bikes”

Yeah I point out that Texas used to actually be part of Mexico and the border moved, not the people.

I think I mentioned it in another post but Schwaticars are a bit different. Though I’d assume they’d have to have some basic functionality in the event of an outage. “Always on” hasn’t come to cars… yet

Again though, they are all quality of life things. You don’t have to use it on most cars. Don’t want it, don’t pay for it and don’t use it. So just like giving people the choice of AA/CP, what’s wrong with giving them the choice of using those features?

I mean, what’s the alternative? It’s not like it has to have internet. Anything internet connected is mainly quality of life:

• Traffic
• Remote (app) features
• Music

Except maybe Teslas, damned if I know what they do. But they’re nice to have things that generally require realtime updates but the car functions just fine as a car without it.

That’s the irony though. If a virus is super deadly it actually won’t last as long because it kills off its host before transmitting as often. Oddly the most “successful” virus are the strains of common colds because they replicate the best while causing the least amount of issue.

Something else that people don’t think about besides the backend server is the connectivity. A lot of these cars use LTE with eSIMs that can’t be replaced, and getting an internet package for it will be next to impossible since Tesla gets them at bulk rates. Once upon a time cars did allow “bring your own SIM cards” but not anymore. Also as cars get older the cell networks get shut down. Some companies did offer upgrades but that was few and far between. Most just said “sorry, you’re SOL”.

So even if you could hack your car, your car won’t have any way of talking to a custom endpoint.

I have never once used discord and it makes me wonder how much information I haven’t been able to find, but I’ve managed to get what I need so I don’t know if it was important anyway.

Frankly any meat is game for me.
