    I’m sorry but I’m too lazy to dig up links to back up my claim. But you are correct in that electric vehicles pollute far more being produced than combustion engine cars, however the electric vehicles gain that back over it’s lifetime if your charge from mostly non-fossil sources. The figures I have read says that over the lifetime of a car, electrics output 70% less CO2 than combustion cars, and that includes the production of each of the cars.



  • According to Karl, Billy must pay all the legal fees if he withdraws from the lawsuit. He must also pay the legal fees if he loses. Billy’s only way out of paying would be to win the lawsuit.

    So the longer Karl strings him along, the more the fees will mount.

    And since Billy doesn’t have a leg to stand on he can either withdraw now, pay a lot of money, and admit he lied. Or he can keep fighting mounting more fees in the slim nope of winning.




  • It’s nice to have some quick mental conversions ready.

    1 mile is roughly 1.6 km, so 100 miles is roughly 160 km

    3 feet is roughly a meter

    2 pounds are roughly 1 kg

    1 gallon is roughly 4 liters

    32 fahrenheit it 0 celcius, 100 fahrenheit is slightly over body temperature, 200 fahrenheit is almost enough to boil water… Any other value requires math to figure out…






  • It would be wonderful with something more granular than “NSFW”…

    I would love if we got something even more granular like a "Content Warning: ".

    Examples:

    • Content Warning: nudity - might be a painting with nude people, might be a photo of nude people, in essence if it isn’t porn, but there’s exposed genitals, butts or breasts.
    • Content Warning: porn - you can probably guess…
    • Content Warning: gore - images with gore, people missing body parts, often dead as well.
    • Content Warning: death - images with people dying, but without gore.
    • Content Warning: blood - images with some blood, but no death or gore. (often seen in news articles)
    • Content Warning: violence - people fighting, but without turning bloody.

    These could of course be expanded with many more categories if need be.

    EDIT: added violence by request


  • This is pretty cool, but I’m wondering why… Sure there’s lots of systems that make use of A/B partitions, which is a pretty good move, but with BTRFS you could have it all in one partition with an A/B subvolume, and they would even be able to share extents that are common between the two (meaning drastically reduced disk space requirements), while still maintaining the ability to boot into either…

    Depending on how much changes you might even keep many more than just two subvolumes. On my machine I run BTRFS with snapper, which takes periodic snapshots, as well as before and after every time I install or uninstall a package, with the ability to boot into any of the snapshots if a change somehow botches my system.
