Hyundai is listening to what consumers want much more readily than other manufacturers, and their body designs strike an incredible balance between modern familiarity and retrofuturism. It’s almost exactly what I want from a new vehicle, other than the fact that they use all the same forced telemetry that other brands are using.

They’re also offering a great spread of electric AND hybrid vehicles to satisfy consumers worried about charger availability as well as consumers worried about the impact of gasoline-powered vehicles.

I won’t be surprised if they continue to increase their market share for a long time to come. If only privacy concerns were as common among the broader population as they seem to be here in the Fediverse, then maybe they might address those issues as well and be a no-brainer purchase.

However, the economy being good is not often actually good for the customer. It’s just a slowing down of things getting worse.

Spacetime is curved. Inertial paths through spacetime are straight.

Euclidean space is not the only space where straight lines are possible.

In actual reality there would be wind and water currents diverting any ship sailing that route from the depicted “line” anyway so the whole argument is pointless

The only straight line paths in the universe are followed by electrostatically uncharged non-accelerating objects in free fall in a vacuum. Or massless particles.

It’s a straight line through non-euclidean space

Sounds like a great tool to have available for school districts looking at using Linux for student laptops.

Yeah, the nazi secret police is still the first thing that comes to mind when most Americans hear/see “SS” without context.

Bottom is bad. Top is worse. We deserve better than all pictured. If you disagree, I do not respect you.

Transphobia is the intersection of misandry and toxic masculinity and all of it is gross.

I could easily spend a billion dollars but most of it would be doing Mr Beast type shit like building houses and wells and hospitals or paying for people’s medical procedures.

You have to be pretty heartless to have that much money and keep it all to yourself

If your feelings weren’t mixed you either don’t value human life or you don’t value democracy.

Edit: a bystander was killed and so was the 20 year old gunman. This is the human life I’m referring to.

Gotta combine this with the massgrave activation script to give Microsoft the ultimate finger

People are reporting ghost sightings. They called in the Ecto-1 if they’re real, and the Mystery Machine if they’re a hoax.

You have funded the enemy.

Yes but the grid doesn’t carry power efficiently over extremely long distances. You’re putting undue load on the grid if you expect wind blowing 500 miles away to cover all the power needs of the area it’s supposed to supply as well as every neighboring area where there’s not enough power.

This isn’t just an efficiency issue you can solve by throwing more windmills at the issue. If there’s too much power flowing through the lines we have currently, things break. Usually with fires and exploding transformers. Our power grid is designed for distributed production, but with on-demand generation as a backup for when intermittent generation is underperforming. Batteries are one option to achieve this, but they’re expensive to build in the scale we need them. Hydrogen fuel production is an interesting candidate to fill this niche and for all-renewable power, but the efficiency is quite low so you’re basically tripling the cost per unit energy produced.

But one way or another, you need additional infrastructure to power the grid with zero fossil fuels. Nuclear, batteries, hydrogen fuel, or a total revamp of transmission infrastructure all require expensive construction projects. Nuclear is the only one that’s been done at scale, that’s why I want to see it given a fair chance again. But I also think plenty of other options are promising BECAUSE they are novel, and I’d love to see a future where a combination is used to make a carbon-free, brownout-free power grid

They can’t deny that he’s older than dirt, might as well lean into the cuter parts about that fact
