  This is the only semi-legitimate reason I can get behind. For kids in grade-school.

  If anybody outside of grade-school brings this up, I would laugh and ignore.

  Probably helped lower some risk, too.

  Wasn’t there some controversy with who had the first flying machine? There was supposedly some guy in CT that flew an aircraft before the brothers?

  You are in good company here. I feel that Lemmy has adopted every damn Linux user on the planet, lol.

  I haven’t been this pressured into using Linux since living with my parents. My father is quite the power user for decades and all the jargon and humor here he appreciates.

  Hey, that makes sense.

  I was seeing “political” and misunderstanding it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CRISPR used to 'reprogram' cancer cells into healthy muscle in the lab⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe it can work inwardly and be separate from politics. In reality, though, I don’t think it can.

  I think the other Christians may have other issues that need resolving first if they believe that this is something that should be stopped or hindered.

  Let me help you

  Cost more up front: yes, new stuff always does

  Range is never real not even close: evidently tesla has been lying about range, but for the most part, if you use an AC in an electric vehicle the batteries die sooner…which is the same with ICE vehicles. Use more energy = deplete faster.

  Expensive to replace: yes

  Wear out sooner than ice engines? Oh I don’t know about that

  Lack of charging stations: yes, a limited problem, but in my area there are tons of them and you also charge at home and work (work is free, so it’s free gas)

  Slow to charge? 10-15mins wait is really not a deal breaker, you’re just making some extra time to use the bathroom and get coffee.

  Useless on road trips: I personally just rented a full electric and did an 800 mile round trip. It was not that bad.

  Range worse in winter: goes along with ‘that’s how batteries work’. Plan your trip.

  It’s better for environment to keep older car on the road? Hard NO. Older ICE cars are less efficient with gas, which uses more gas. Getting a newer more efficient ICE car is better for the environment.

  Creating a battery is bad for the environment up front, but after that there’s a very small impact over the lifetime usage of that battery.

  On the other hand, creating an ICE engine is light on the environment, but through its lifetime pollutes. Way larger impact on the environment than the electric.

  Tell me how you’d enforce it?

  It’s easy enough to wash a generated text and AI text catchers don’t work.

  Is it really just an honor system?

  He said not exactly

  Maybe he’s tied up in a basement or something.
