We absolutely do need carbon capture research and development, along with gradually scaling up carbon capture projects.

Unfortunately, carbon capture is useless if we’re still burning fossil fuels for power, heat, and transport.

Carbon capture is actively harmful when used as an excuse to build new fossil fuel power plants.

Some people just take a while to absorb new information.

My father would always seem like he was completely stuck in his ways and unyielding if you argued with him for one day. But if you came back the next day, he usually had a much better view and had accepted some of your statements.
I actually enjoyed debating him once I learned this, and learned to drag out the debates over several days. I also understood a lot more by copying his method of learning.

Not everything needs to be instant. Give people information, then give them time to think about it.

I suggest making edit obvious to those reading who don’t know the original source. Something like:

where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to the right to execute those who promote intolerance.

I heard of someone trying to get a refund because it “disappeared”.

Do not put a Himalayan salt lamp in there. A dry cloth will do if you really want to clean it.

I don’t mind internet connected devices (ignoring privacy issues). What I have a problem with is internet dependent devices. All critical devices should have a backup mode for a lost connection, and all devices should fail safe, not run at max temperature.

My smart lights are controlled by Home Assistant, so they still work when my internet connection goes down. I also have physical switches so I can control them like basic lights if Home Assistant breaks.

Always have backup plans.

I swapped my mother’s computer to Linux (Mint). She had no issues using it, because I put the desktop icons in the same place, and copied the browser profile.

Is that like deciding that Tylenol causes Autism, then trying to find evidence after making an announcement?

Steam is almost flawless on Linux, and I’ve rarely seen a game that doesn’t work out of the box (just remember to press “enable proton for all titles” the first time you install steam).

I’ve never had to do any tinkering with Linux Mint, and I’ve heard the same about Bazzite.

Linux has come a long way in the last few years. You might be pleasantly surprised.

I’ve been using Steam on Linux for a few years. Check out Proton DB for game compatibility.

The majority of early EV fires were from a single battery factory accidentally placing battery terminals too close together. This affected only Chevy Bolts, and has been fixed with a recall.

Even including this data, combustion engine cars are over 60 times more likely to catch fire than EVs (1,529.9 fires per 100,000 vehicles for ICE vs 25.1 for EV).

It looks like you’re the one who might need to start carrying around a fire extinguisher, just in case.

My 15 year old EV is still driving like new. I had the battery replaced last month, not because the battery didn’t work, but because newer batteries have much more range and are cheap enough to be worth the upgrade. I’m planning to keep driving it for at least another 20 years.

This 100 year old EV is still driving with minimal maintenance. I don’t think EVs need to be scrapped particularly quickly.

Pride and prejudice

It could cost a bit if you wanted to keep it up to date.

It’s harder to pronounce, and no-one can understand it.

I love Factorio for how few bugs are in it, and for how much the devs care. They even hired modders, and those modders kept making mods while making the game.

I’ve played a few games in your list and loved every one of them. I should probably try the rest.

I once exited vim.

😥

I understand that this is a joke, but people believing themselves to be superior is what got us into this mess.

Mine’s only 15 years. I need to keep working on it.
