The oldest Mayan ruins are from 1000-800BC That’s what…~3000 years? Not bad… Will this glass be as resistant to the elements as carved rocks?

I have them all downloaded. 25 years of old hard drives and nerdy piracy have me well stocked for the apocalypse
Yes, and if you teach this to your friends and children, the big companies will eventually adapt to what the market is offering vs trying to dictate the market
I’d buy in to that. You could even do it the way NASCAR does it: here are the specs. You can buy it from us to guarantee you are in compliance, or if you’re good enough to replicate this setup you can use your own, but we’ll tear down your setup to inspect after every contest. The only changes allowed are peripherals
I paid full price for both Factorio and Skyrim because they are full games that I get to own. No micro transactions, and modding is almost encouraged through Steam. I will never buy another microtransaction game. I will never buy another “subscription based” platform like Xbox. I’m so fucking over not owning the thing I bought
Toyota is one of the largest auto makers in the history of the world. They’re practically their own government, and have more than enough money bankroll a burgeoning technology tree. To say they fucked up by testing a brand new technology and developing it in-house, seemingly on their own until recently (BMW and Mercedes have both joined Toyota in their development process within the last 5 years) is bonkers.
Any new technology or idea generally has a long road to maturity. You wouldn’t say the quest for quantum computing or the unified field theory are complete wastes of time and money when we’re discovering things along the way. Hydrogen may not work out for your consumer vehicle, but it absolutely works better than electric for those trans-oceanic container ships and shooting rockets to the moon.
This is the Internet. You can’t say ass here!!!1
So what’s the new solution in place of DRM to make sure that the things you make aren’t ripped off by China or any other rich competitor?
This you?
How does forcing a company like Apple or John Deere to allow their customers to repair their own products lead you to think China isn’t already ripping off every bit of tech they come across?
Based on what?
You’ve been had. I love that I can hear your heartbeat go up in your response. You’re a clown 🤡
Please learn to be less of a cunt. “Russia will become a nuclear hole.” And since you like downvotes, here’s yours.
So you first advocate for nuclear weapons to be used, and then you say just kill Putin. I’m not sure how the last sentence excuses the other sentence
B.utt P.lug for life!!!
Nah man. Nobody wants that. Are you willing to let it be you that gets nuked? Your family, your children, your home?
Ain’t that the truth. We could’ve just been naked eating fruit and making art all day, but instead we have anxiety and loans.
I think you are vastly overestimating the productivity of renewables right now. They are a smart investment to augment what we have, but to take non-renewables offline and to build enough renewables to reach the levels of modern nuclear, we will need an additional decade… Assuming the tech in renewables continues to make massive gains. There just aren’t enough skilled workers, and you can’t run these people non-stop to produce enough windmills to meet demand.
Renewables are only 20% of the US total, nuclear is 18% (and the US is the highest producer of nuclear worldwide at 30% of the world’s total), and the remaining ~60% is fossil fuels.
“I am not mad at you. This is not your fault. I am upset at the situation, and I am having trouble controlling myself. I apologize if I sound crazy or have upset you with my words and actions.”
It takes 6 years on a fast paced build. If we had started when we knew of the problem, we could have avoided some of the problem. It is the only energy source we can scale up in that way, however. Every other energy source takes longer for less yield with current technology.
Kia and Hyundai are the most stolen cars in North America due to missing basic security measures like steering wheel locks and the ability to spoof the key fob with a cell phone. You could also take a Hyundai or Kia that is near it’s fob and just drive off in it. There was no proximity shut off until a recent OTA update, and it didn’t work on every model
They’re cheap in NA and they’re likely to stay that way until they add proper security measures. In response, both State Farm and Allstate have raised insurance rates on Hyundai and Kia made after 2015. They’re cheaper because they cut corners, and the end customer foots the bill on the insurance side
