Boeing allegedly overcharged the military 8,000% for airplane soap dispensers
  • When they say they can't afford to forgive student loans, this is what they mean. This is where the money went. A trillion each year into the military that can't say where the money went and fails the audit each year.

  • Repairable Bike Tips
  • I'll give you a BIFL answer that's not super heavy on performance. I'll assume your primary goal is commuting or some light exercise.

    1. Stay away from carbon fibre. Stick to aluminium or better yet, steel.
    2. Choose a bike that has a fanbase. For example Bromptons or Surlys are expensive for what they are but you can maintain them for a lifetime.
    3. Stay away from the cheapest bikes. If you're going for a low budget bike try to stick with a mainstream reputed bike brand like Giant.
    4. A belt drive is more hassle free if you have the budget.
  • Far left intellectualism
  • Instead the entire area will be turned into glass under Kamela but hey, she had good intentions! Unlike Trump who would have lead to the same outcome but he wouldn't have those good intentions.

  • Far left intellectualism
  • This is just pro Israeli propaganda. This specific conflict started in 1948. The whole UN has voted against Isreal. And you're telling me that that region will have all out war if Israeli troops stopped killing children? GTF outta here.

  • Biden Allowing Israel to March US Into War With Iran
  • Learn from Sri Lanka. For the first time ever they got a president from the third party. In the last presidential election he got 3%. Not thirty, three! This time he got 55%. Goes to show how fed up the people were with the system.

  • oh no! think of the stock market!
  • "Damaging equipment" is just nonsense. I've got an off-grid solar system. When the battery is fully charged the solar panels simply stops producing. It has potential (voltage) but no current until you draw power. Just like a battery is full of energy but it just sits there until you draw power from it.

    All solar systems could have smart switches to intelligently disconnect from the grid as needed, some inverter already do this automatically. So it's not a technical problem. It's a political problem.

  • Best Lemmy App in 2024

    Now that the Reddit exodus is about a year old and the client apps have matured, what's the latest state of the above question?

    What app do you use and why? I'm mainly interested in Android but suggestions for other platforms are also welcome. And if you are using multiple platforms, what's your primary one?

    What Are Some Great Films Not Adapted from Books?

    When films are adapted from books, more often than not, I tend to find the books a lot more enjoyable. So I have skipped watching a lot of films in the hope of reading the books later.

    So what are some great films not adapted from books? Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted from?

    From 3:18, CNBC reports that taxes from oil is not enough to repair roads and general federal revenue provides funds. That means that everyone is subsidizing car usage.

    If there were reduced car usage, infrastructure wouldn't have decayed at this rate. Ever increasing weight of trucks, SUVs other trending vehicle do nothing but accelerate this problem. This is another reason to tax vehicles by weight.
