Rivian CEO issues strong statement about people who purchase gas-powered cars: ‘Sort of like building a horse barn in 1910’
  • Not OP but searched up EE's video on a topic like this. Been a long while since I watched it so I don't remember much about it in description is the sources. So at the very least you can check some of that type of stuff.

    But yeah in general an ICE is horrendous at efficiency vs electric. An ICE blows some 70+% of its energy on making heat we don't use but instead actively use some of the available energy made to cool it.

  • ChatGPT generates cancer treatment plans that are full of errors — Study finds that ChatGPT provided false information when asked to design cancer treatment plans
  • People want to trust it as a source of quick knowledge. It is easier to be told 9 goes into 81 a total of 8 times trusting that the computer is always right, because it had access to everything, than to work out the answer given was wrong and is actually 9.

    Think of WebMD. People love to self diagnose despite it commonly being known as a bad practice. But they do so because they can do it with less effort, faster, and cheaper than making an appointment to drive to an office so you can speak with a doctor that runs a few tests and gets back to you in a week saying they aren't sure and need to do that process all over again.

  • Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
  • Pretty sure I joined in 2011 as well. I'd check but why give them traffic. The website was only still usable with old reddit and the app is total trash. RiF is what I used to interact with reddit about 99% of the time. When they axed it I left and the flow of people over to Lemmy has made it just fine for my needs.

    Sure it is still a little lacking for some of the subs but it's getting there.

  • POV , your secretary bought a new car for her daily commute to the grocery stroad.
  • Probably. You'd be amazed at what someone with a regular license is allowed to drive. Such as the International CXT. Basically made to be just under specs that require a CDL. (To my knowledge it is mostly a weight thing. Like 26000 pounds and CDL is needed. 25999 pounds? you're fine without.)

    The laws are pretty arbitrary and leave a lot to be desired. Which is also why you see some sketchy driving by people driving the large U-Haul box trucks and other moving rental companies. Same with trailers/campers. Any random can hook up an oversized/improperly loaded trailer to their little Ford escape and drive about.

  • What are some examples of your tastes changing as you got older?
  • Have always loved dark chocolate. As I got older I liked the darker stuff more. 85-90%. (Fyi 100% is no good. Lol.) Milk chocolate has always been a no for me. Best I can do is tolerate it if the flavor is mostly masked by whatever it is encasing.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Used to have cheapo 12v hitachi. Its poor little clutch didn't fair well when I asked it to drive several 5 inch lags.

    DeWalt what I use now. Received a 6ish tool kit as a present a while back. They all get light use but the sawzall is certainly the most used. Diablos 3tpi blade makes for a great and violent pruner.

    No more cheap bits though. Driver or drill. (Sockets too.)The level of annoyed and frustrated cheap bits makes for just isn't worth it. Drivers hold better, strip less, and last longer. Drills go through material faster, break less, hold an edge longer.

  • Do you have a main? If so, which class and why?
  • Solo I tend to pick scout just for laziness of getting around quickly. Normally only run simple mission types this way.

    In group play I mostly do driller. Even if I'm useless the whole mission I can make up for it with B lining to extraction point. Overall I just like the feel of the class and that I am always making an easy to use hole to where we're going and use later. (Don't worry about the one that leads through a ceiling to my and your death. I'm sure it won't be a problem later in the mission.)

    That said I do like all the classes and mix in a healthy share of gunner and engi keeping overall ranks semi near each other.

  • Best Lemmy client for Android?
  • Sony Xperia 1 III. Aside from server issues in the first few days this month with Lemmy the Jerboa app has been working well. Seems fairly close enough ish to RiF for me. Really probably has a lot more going on than RiF ever did. Some mild stuff to get used to but overall a good experience. Was happy to see the ability to change the post sizes to smaller so I can see more at a given time.

  • Nobody alive has a kill/death ratio IRL, since you can't divide by zero.
  • Yeah I think some of the issue here is games likely just cheat math to get an answer then remove said cheat once the math works how they want again.

    So something like K:D if D=0 then D is 1. Beyond that they can release the rule and let it work normally.

    Otherwise to get the stat before someone has died it would have to briefly run on a kill per life. I think...

  • Why do i see mostly posts from a single community?
  • Active isn't very good. I've been having good results with hot/new. Haven't tried top by time yet.

    Then I would suppose same community might just be a function of traffic those are receiving vs others so your odds are higher to see the same. Should smooth over as more places get better established.

  • Someone posted a can of beans saying Lemmy will upvote anything. But will Lemmy upvote SPAM?
  • But Spam is pretty good.

    Butter some bread to toast, cook up some bacon, fry the spam in that, toss on some cheddar cheese and you've a great sandwich. (I dislike egg but that's probably a great addition too.) Pepper to taste.

    Ignore the multiple grams worth of salt you'll be taking in. It's worth it.
