More Leaf owners with battery problems say Nissan has abandoned them
  • Every single one of our ICE cars (3 toyotas 3 Hondas) have lasted 20+ years. I sold 3 to neighbours. They are still going.

    I’ve been warning everybody on reddit that ev batteries will fail long before their projected lifespans, and the cost of replacement makes ice cars a cheaper alternative. The mods keep banning me. But the maths and science is clear.

  • AI gives birth to AI: Scientists say machine intelligence now capable of replicating without humans
  • what a stupid shit for brains article and website - content like this needs to be banned and people who post it obliterated from the human historical records. That means you OP. Stop being a fuckhead. what a colossal waste of time. Like crypto and NFT, fearmongering and scamming people.

  • Twitch "isn't profitable" admits CEO, in wake of recent layoffs
  • The answer is so simple and yet the daft ceo does not get it. Just stop blocking users from seeing all the game channels they favourited. At the moment, whatever game channel I favourite, disappears into my library and never appears on my listings of favourites. Twitch modifies everything you do without telling you. Well, STOP IT YOU DUMB FUCKS. So bloody annoying. If they fixed this, everyone would use twitch for games and twitch would bea5 every other website. Colossal stupidity.

  • What can the US do to help Mexico finally stop the cartels?
  • Best thing to do is wholesale execution. The moment any of your family is suspected proven or otherwise of involve,ent in illegal activity, execute everyone instantly. Thus had to happen in the civil war and many other uprisings in the past.

  • Supreme Court will take up Trump’s eligibility to run for president
  • civil is guaranteed right now. it's pretty obvious the basis for denying trump eligibility to join the ballot will not be accepted by the Court. The Article on Insurrection arose out of a civil war, and nothing short of a civil war can give rise to the same basis.

  • No longer belle of the ball? Hong Kong faces stiff competition for tourism
  • the food scene in hk has collapsed. there is no longer any nice food to eat. everything is the same mainland china cuisine, which everyone hates. tasteless, oily, bland and sometimes very nauseating. there is not a single world class chef which supports this cuisine, yet the mainland china government had ordered that it be the only cuisine on offer. Lots of restauranteurs have been disappeared for offering anything different.

    The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion
  • Just wanted to mention Champions of Regnum, if anyone wants a simple rvr open pvp mmo. It is tab target and old school, slightly more advanced graphically than DAOC. It’s a fun easy casual game for players to drop in and join in the rvr war when and if u like. The war tends to be hilarious because there are 3 realms and the number of wacky shenanigans that happen is quite unpredictable. There is a significant grind, but this game is so much chill fun at the end, it’s worth 10+ years of playing for one character.

  • What DID Apple innovate?
  • Wrong wrong wrong. It was never about ease of use. It was always about taking control away from the user, and hiding authority for control. This kind of deceptive practice has led to what we gave today - cars selling subscription hearing seats. The truth is, the gui was always buggy and a product unfit for its purpose from day one. Apple sold it as a means to get consumers to accept a defective product from the start, perpetuating their ability to always sell updates, forcing consumers to pay for things THEY DO NOT NEED.

  • What DID Apple innovate?
  • Wrong wrong wrong. Macontoshs gui was crap and buggy as hell. Every seasoned it expert knew it was a shit lousy interface designed to dupe people into believing it was secure when in fact it proliferated viruses and security holes, and drove the control of computing into an avaricious humanity destroying company culture known as apple. DO NOT EVER PROMOTE THE GUI AS GOOD. ITS CRAP.

  • What DID Apple innovate?
  • Wrong wrong wrong. The graphical user interface is crap and will always be crap. The whole matter of popularity is marketing bunkum. Console command interface was al ways faster and better than any gui for general computing tasks. The gui is fine for office tasks, but shit for everything else. The popularity of the gui today has driven a massive upscale of cruddy bloated virus infected software. The fact that most people now only know gui has meant that control of viruses has slipped away. Had console commands been the mainstay for computing, viruses and security holes would never have been allowed to proliferate as they do today.

  • Americans, what are your plans if Trump wins in 2024?
  • how about the opposite view: trump supporters feel Trump will be good. He will allow the USA to become much more independent and cut off paying for other nations' wars. why should we pay for them? there is no need for america to be the guardian of democracy or anything. We just want to live god-fearing lives and raise good families. We don't need the rest of the world. Our military can stomp out any invaders.

    TIL 70,000 years ago a volcanic eruption killed many humans, leaving only 1,000 human alive in the whole word. This created a population bottleneck which vastly reduced diversity in human genetics.

    The Toba eruption (sometimes called the Toba supereruption or the Youngest Toba eruption) was a supervolcano eruption that occurred around 74,000 years ago at the site of present-day Lake Toba in Sumatra, Indonesia. It is one of Earth's largest known explosive eruptions. The Toba catastrophe theory holds that this event caused a severe global volcanic winter of six to ten years and contributed to a 1,000-year-long cooling episode, leading to a genetic bottleneck in humans.A number of genetic studies have revealed that 50,000 years ago, the human ancestor population greatly expanded from only a few thousand individuals. Science journalist Ann Gibbons has posited that the low population size was caused by the Toba eruption. Geologist Michael R. Rampino of New York University and volcanologist Stephen Self of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa have supported her suggestion. In 1998, the bottleneck theory was further developed by anthropologist Stanley...
