Who have stolen land, drilled under people’s own land to access their oil, drilled into other countries without permission (eg Russian firms). They’ve also hidden data about environmental damage since the 1960s including CO2 evidence. Worse than tobacco.

Yeah there are problems with battery and EV materials and their links to all kinds of nasty things. However, lets not forget how bad other industries have been (even recently) for slavery… the cotton industry, the soft drinks indusrty, even the plastics recycling industry.
And OK, lithium is a problem, but there are other ways to store energy that arent being used. We need to stop expecting a perfect solution to everything and just start using sand batteries, compressed air etc, things where we do already have engineers that can accomplish something.

In the comic he loses his/the speedforce. Could imagine it was from that, but deep down I know it was just a toy companytrying to sell parents junky toys.

I’ve been waiting 6 years for our Trust to fix our work equipment and the access areas we use …they spend as low an amount as they can only for stuff to fail again

Fuck me, I uninstalled about 4 games for invasive ads. Its a shame the open source community and paid games cant be a solution to all this data collection and ads on android.

Laws against threats to kill, rape and assault tend to be pretty constant across the world… 🤷♂️

On youtube I had a persistent one who only stopped threatening to track me down and kill me (for a road safety video) when I posted the address of a local police station and said “pop in, any time!”

I gave up reporting on major sites where I saw abuse. Stuff that if you said that in public, also witnessed by others, you’ve be investigated. Twitter was also bad for responding to reports with “this doesnt break our rules” when a) it clearly did and b) probably a few laws.

There have been several killings in the UK where someone faked being a girl/woman to lure someone to their death.

I run a fridge freezer off a Delta Pro and 600w of solar during the summer. If we get a few days spell of bad weather I have to place it back on mains. Its good to have in an emergency, though it cost me 3 months wages (plus overtime)

^^THIS^^
Plus to add that modern kitchen stuff like that will throw on the compressor to cool the unit down with up to a surge of 1200w. Usually for 2-3 minutes as it engages the cooling pumps and moves the refrigerant.
I’ve run fridge freezer units off battery a few times (deep cycle lead acid, lithium/LFP)

The Cinnamon challenge.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
I took the ads out because even though it isnt a career (music is a serious hobby, you might say) there was push back against putting your own music on the platform. “No self promotion” was a general rule iirc. A few subs kind of let it happen but they were rare.
The dashboard was indeed shit. It had all the wrong details and choices for someone like me.
I would have done an AMA but I’m just a bloke, LOL! And yes I agree - the users are anti-ad. Not sure how a site like that floats, financially. Can only imagine there is corp or Government money secretly going in (as we found out years after Google started up).

Didnt work out for Cinnamon 😂
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Those types of ads have been there since near the start. Its been confusing people for years. All that will happen is the popular non-ad posts will get accused of being paid for.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
I took ads out on Reddit years ago just to see if I could promote my music. It did less than zero and actively dragged me into a load of shit on various subs of interests I had. People there refused to talk to me, and told others not to.
Reddit is toxic. I avoid the site. Or better still maybe people should just spam it with irelevant shit
