I had to stop Picard’s first episode because I burst out laughing when the superhero jump up the stairs happened.
I finished 2 seasons of Discover before I stopped watching.

I don’t think I’ll go back and try to finish either series, but I could stand DISC way longer.

No

Is this a Lemmy problem, or a problem because you are using an app?

For example, if a company has 1,000 shares in total and you own 200 of them, you own 20% of the company.

Not really true. Most private corporations have more than one type of shares, and this article doesn’t seem to recognize that. That’s a huge issue.

You need to look at the articles of incorporation, the bylaws of the corporation, any unanimous shareholder agreements (Normally called a “USA”), and maybe even the resolutions in the Minute Book. Retractable, non-voting shares that you aren’t allow to transfer/sell without a director quorum, are not going to get you the same as voting shares, or preferred shares, or even shares that have different transferring restrictions.

In an instance, it’s the green button at the bottom of the sidebar for the specific community, and the one for the whole instance is below the sidebar.

That is true, but the speakers would probably need to be much louder than 80dB. The loudness required changes on a few factors, just I threw out one of the many ways that driving is awful for everyone around the car.

I probably should’ve re-linked the article I posted earlier in the branch, and thrown in a quote with one of the example findings:

This would require signal strength of greater than 289 dB just for the animal to hear the sound.

Driving on the highway, at speed, will put out at least 75 dBs.

80 is generally the line drawn when you’re causing hearing damage in humans. If you’re blasting out the sound to go over the sound of the vehicle, you are causing other issues.

They don’t really work.

Is the whistle louder than the sound of your vehicle and the road?
Is that sound going to reach the deer before it’s too late? What about when the wind is blowing in the other direction?

One of the predominant frequencies of the whistles, 12 kHz is clearly outside the best frequency of hearing of the deer. The average sound pressure level at 3.3 kHz was determined to be around 70 dB re 20 uPa when the device was bumper-mounted at 40 mph and was totally lost to the road noise produced by the car since it falls within the range of car noise

If there was a decent used EV, it should be used by someone who has a greater need/want than I have.

My coffee consumption has a larger carbon footprint than my household’s driving, so I could try to find other ways to reduce before I throw away a working vehicle.

GREET is broken into 2 models; GREET1 which is just about the use of the vehicle, and GREET2 which is just about the manufacturing of the vehicle.

I thought the movie was just okay, a lot of people say it had an effect on how they view war.

War is bleak, and everyone loses.

As long as you would drive enough so that difference can offset the fabrication of the EV. Most people will hit this number in less than five years.

We drive about 350km a year on a high-coal grid, so we won’t drive enough for a new EV to be better for the environment than getting a used car that was headed for disposal.

I know people who drive more per day than my household drives per year, so I know that we are going to be a fairly rare case.

The best solution is 0 cars anywhere.
A more realistic solution, is to replace planet-murdering cars with planet-kicking cars.

The math that I have seen on when an EV becomes better for the planet compared to an ICE is kinda all over the place, mostly due to how the power is generated.

Where I live, with a high amount of coal, buying a used ICE vehicle makes more sense than buying a new EV. If we drove more than just our weekly grocery trip, it might make more sense.

Copy/paste from the main post:

People who are part of the Fediverse are generally progressive, which is why they are here to begin with instead of facebook/Xitter/reddit.
People who are progressive generally don’t like people who don’t like trans people.

This is just anecdotally, but it there seems to be much higher than average rate of trans persons on the fediverse.

Crimea has been occupied since 2014, which means it is not free.

You close the lid before you flush, that’s why it exists.
