  • Lithium ion batteries cannot super accurately report their own charge so the percentage isn’t necessarily digit accurate.

    I am also usually just making sure it’ll get me to a place I can charge it when I actually need to worry about charge. That doesn’t usually require like the difference between say 33% and 26% for me.

    I just need to be able to see if I’ve got like a fifth of battery left or less / more.

    Admitedly also with the ADHD if there’s a percentage I fixate on it for no reason so it’s less annoying for me to have it off.

    Same with the battery level in my e-bike. 👀 I know it’ll get me to work and back as it always does but not constantly fixating on the remaining battery is impossible.




  • The bipartisan package allows the president to impose tariffs on the world’s top five purchasers of Russian oil or natural gas, including China and India. It provides exceptions for countries that import less than 15% of their natural gas from Russia and are taking steps to reduce those imports.

    Allows but does not require.

    The legislation also includes sanctions on Putin, senior Russian political and military leaders, Russian financial institutions and Russian energy projects. It would expand U.S. sanctions to target older, reflagged oil tankers that Russia uses to circumvent existing U.S. sanctions on Russian oil and energy revenues. The bill also allows the White House to waive sanctions or restrictions if the president certifies to Congress that it’s in the national interest.

    And also allows him to undo any of the stuff he doesn’t get a say over directly.

    Very cool!

    I have no doubt he will use it as an excuse to further fracture our global power and image in attempts to extort easy wins, personal wealth, or both.

    But I do approve of increased support for Ukraine and am thankful there has been progress, atleast in messaging, from the right toward Ukraine.

    Also

    Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., who had held up passage of the package over the tariff authority, said he received a written commitment from the Trump administration through U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer that ensures guardrails. The tariffs would be lifted once the countries are no longer on the lists of those purchasing Russian oil and gas, or helping to evade sanctions, he said.

    Guys it’s fine.

    I said IT’S FINE. HE GOT A WRITTEN COMMITMENT.




  • He clearly has not accepted that in-group/out-group dynamics always leave potential for you to become part of the out-group, or to have only assumed you’d be in the in-group in the first place. Just thinks Trump messed up by taking HIS partner instead of someone else’s.

    “go after criminals” he continues to say, failing to realize that especially in the most heavily incarcerated country on the planet, criminals are actually also largely moms and pops and kids with families that are torn apart by agents of state violence over incredibly minor or intentionally targeted laws.

    My experience with so many people is that even when solidly proven to have held a belief they no longer find suits them, they do not look for a systematic fault in their mental processing models or a larger misunderstanding in their base assumptions of reality to find how it was they were led into false belief. They simply assume it was either a fluke, or that reality does indeed conform to their ideas and just made a mistake this time.

    So to keep the balloon filled and maintained, I’m thinking we get a low paid part-time worker. They’ll have to be on call for emergency needs of course so open availability.

    And to make sure they do the job right, perchance an underfunded, understaffed regulation and inspection system?
