I want to thank you for your reply. Hearing about someone like you and your attempt to improve your community and the world I the ways you can is so uplifting!
People are social (even the introverts) and the return on in person, deep social interaction is another reason it's important to fight the allure of convenience of online media being ones primary and most influencial social interaction. I love that you're doing it!
"The solar power producers during the day, and fossil legacy plants in the night."
Thus is precisely the bottle neck I was referring to.
Batteries are the bottleneck now that solar PV equipment is so cheap. I'm excited to see how ot plays out.
It has the potential to be a primary vehicle for most people.
After 100% tarrif, it might still be competitive with the lackluster options in the lower end of EV in the US.
Rather than take a defeatist veiw from this line if thinking, it will do well for your mental health to first spend more time, energy and thoughts on things you can control. Not just things related to environmentalism, but broadly reduce energy, engagement and focus from the things you don't have significant control over and direct them to those things you do have control. It's good to get a broad picture and observe the world around you outside of your control in small doses, but it's easy to over indulge in an unfocused survey of problems in the world, especially on social media. (I include Lemmy communities in the social media category).
Furthermore, when you do engage with these problems, do so with more narrow focus and in more depth with an eye towards understanding the level of impact the problem has and what organizations or policy positions you can support to amplify your limited influence over the issues that causee the problem. In this way you can mitigate the feelings of helplessness and sense of there being many existential and imminent problems you need to contend with but cannot remedy. You can turn seemingly untouchable solutions into real possibilities without overwhelming your emotional capacity by working with others.
So directly, absolutely not.
Indirectly, probably.
Do you think that prison labor and undocumented workers are a significant portion of the labor used to produce EVs in the USA?
it’s not the manufacturer that bears the cost of tarriffs, it’s the customers.
And the locals that lose their means of providing for themselves.
The counterpoints are about local US employment and thinking comparative advantage is bullshit.
Time to start pushing for EV subsidies from Congress for real.
Elon was already aware of the global landscape and chose Trump as the conduit for government support of the EV market.
I'm saying that scenario has a low probability
Wikipedia has a great image of orientations on the dates of Saturn's opposition from 2001 thru 2029 (copied below). It really shows what's going on and the approximate timing of visibility of the rings as they change from a Northern to Southern view from Earth's perspective. Between March and November of 2025 the rings will be in the least visible orientations.
Rivian will probably be bought out by a larger company if they fail to scale, so that going zero possibility seems low.
Tesla did change the world for the better. Elon took the financial rewards and is using them to offset all of the improvements with catalyzing social issues into worse social issues.
Slow single leg heel drops.
Fore foot raises with your back and butt against the wall and feet about the length of your foot away from the wall.
The above are preventative strength exercises that should be done when you aren't currently feeling shin splint pain.
Make sure it's not a stress fracture.
Rest and stretch the lower legs muscles.
Reduce how long and how often you run for a while after your pain stops.
Once Mexico has manufacturing plants building Chinese badged vehicles, I think the dominoes will start to fall. Right now , it seems that Mexico is just importing cars assembled in China.

With costs fast declining, sodium-ion batteries look set to dominate the future of long duration energy storage, finds an AI-based analysis that predicts technological breakthroughs based on global patent data.

Passkeys allow for a simple, yet extremely secure, sign-in experience. Learn more about what they are and how they work in this article.
A tech service named Clerk put together a nice breakdown of how Passkeys work on a technical level. I've found many other explanations too focused on technical definitions rather than a conceptional overview or so simplistic they were unhelpful for me. This one feels like a nice balance between not enough information and too much.
The article is broken down into the sections below: >- What are passkeys? >- How does public key crypto work? >- A practical use of public-key cryptography >- How are passkeys more secure than a username and password? >- Clerk supports passkeys [this last section is irrelevant to anyone not interested in the service provided by Clerk]
Clerk provides some sort of user management service; I don't know nor care if it's any good.

The Toronto Maple Leafs' recent focus on 'grit' is proving costly to addressing their depth scoring issues during the 2023-24 season.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with gritty players, but those players need to perform on top of their physical play.

Miller, Tom Wilson, and the Tkachuk brothers revered for holding their own physically while providing offensive as well. > > > > That’s where Toronto has gone wrong.

Do teams with harder shots score more goals above expected? Where do the most goals come from? Let's break it down.
A few weeks ago, the NHL finally unleashed its long-awaited player tracking data onto the public. Now it’s time to dissect what it all means.
Sometimes, all it means is “that’s cool!” — and that’s OK. Sometimes a fun little tidbit is all a stat has to be. But it’s still worth looking into how meaningful all the new numbers are and what bucket they fall into: relevant info or interesting trivia.
Each new stat poses its own interesting questions worth answering and that’s the goal of this series; diving into the new data to see how much it matters.
Let’s talk about shooting.
