Biden Must Resign
  • Given Biden’s condition, the Trump campaign will try to stoke irrational fears about a potential Harris presidency anyway. And the hypothetical, driven as it is by lurid right-wing fantasies, will necessarily be worse than the reality. That is, Harris can begin to defuse apocalyptic right-wing arguments against her—that she is some kind of left-wing radical who will render the country unrecognizable—by governing wisely for the remainder of the term.

    If the president wants to protect American democracy, he should hand over his office to Kamala Harris.

    For the good of the republic and to demonstrate new leadership before the election

    PSA: Nova Launcher is owned by an analytics company
  • Same here, I was a big fan of Nova until I discovered Niagara about a year ago. It's a totally different concept from the icon based launchers. I love the minimalist approach to widgets and the self optimizing app list. Tying it in with sesame has led me that product as well and I'm finding the whole solution to be really nice

  • ground.news 57 companies linked to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions since 2016

    A mere 57 oil, gas, coal and cement producers are directly linked to 80% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions since the 2016 Paris climate agreement, a study

    57 companies linked to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions since 2016
    • Only 57 fossil fuels and cement producers have been responsible for most of the world's CO2 emissions since 2016, according to the Carbon Majors report by InfluenceMap
    • Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, and Coal India were the top three CO2-emitting companies during this period.
    • InfluenceMap's database aims to increase transparency around climate change contributors for legal, academic, campaign, and investor purposes.

    Trump bemoans lack of immigrants from majority-white countries to the US
  • Well they have to be really white though, not like those lazy Spaniards, Italians or Greeks. Should probably leave the Catholics out of it, too, and maybe the Irish for that matter. Do Portuguese count? 🤔 /s

  • Do you tip for takeout? (How much?)
  • US here, before COVID I would tip delivery drivers but not if I was picking it up. Now I tip 10-15% for takeout and 20%-25% for table service. I've also come to understand that checking your order, packing the bag, and including condiments or extras all take time and I've decided I'm ok tipping for that if it helps them earn a more decent living.

  • Tesla Cybertruck gets less than 80% of advertised range in YouTuber’s test
  • I'm not sure where that number came from but according to Wikipedia the conversion from momentum to electricity loses 10-20% and the conversion from electricity to battery storage is another 10-20% leaving a theoretical recovery at 60-70%. In real world tests, Teslas recovered 20-32% range with regenerative braking, a far cry from 2-5% you cite. https://electrek.co/2018/04/24/regenerative-braking-how-it-works/

  • I had no idea you could just do that
  • For sure! My community is served by a volunteer department and I joined a couple years ago, definitely a rewarding experience. Now not only have I gotten to sit in a truck, but I drive them, have learned all sorts of cool tools like the jaws of life and get to work with a great group of people serving our community.

    You don't need to be young and fit either (I'm not!), there's a job for everyone. Anyone who's interested should definitely check out their local department. Most have active Facebook pages sharing updates and their website should have info on how to learn more about joining.

  • Tesla Cybertruck gets less than 80% of advertised range in YouTuber’s test
  • Idle losses are real but not very substantial in a modern engine compared to the bigger factor you're missing which is that in city driving tests there is a lot of speeding up and slowing down, ICE vehicles throw away all the energy used to slow down as heat in the brakes which makes city cycles particularly inefficient while an EV captures that energy through regenerative braking, dramatically reducing the net cost of those momentum changes.
