Less toxic batteries are available. Sodium batteries. After they’re fully depleted, the sodium can be disposed of or recycled without harmful effects on the environment. Why Elon hasn’t implemented this is beyond me. Perhaps the infrastructure to manufacture them isn’t suitable for the demand that lithium supplies already.
Devils advocate: Maybe we was attempting to say: Proud to be the Vice President of the first black President, and appoint the first black Vice President. If he were to be capable of actually executing that thought, it wouldn’t be so bad. (If Kamala was actually decent, which she is not) Instead we got word salad. Nailed it, 10/10.
NYC has an enormous rat problem (according to local news) and Mayor Adams has been taking steps, including changing trash pickup times, to combat this. Personally, I think there are more pressing matters affecting everyday New Yorkers: Crime and cost of living for example.
This year 380 Hollywood productions moved to Europe to save money due to the increased payout resulting from the strikes. The theatrical teamsters and IATSE have contract negotiations this year and productions are also going a step further by reducing crew and the amount of production in the US, just as they did last year, in anticipation of more strikes. All of Hollywood is doing terrible right now, most of the “below the line” crew are happy just to be working. Source: I am a union member. Addendum: Streaming services controlled by Wall Street are allegedly the problem. Whereas before, studios would spend money recklessly for the purpose of “art”, they are now forced to be economical about what they create, and the old Hollywood Studios are having difficulty competing.
This is from the makers of No Man’s Sky, who after initially rolling out a dud, continued working on their game unlike lots of other studios. They definitely deserve credit for not giving up. Procedural generation isn’t new. I just see this as less blocky minecraft or them applying their lessons from NMS to a new IP.
To be clear, as far as I can remember is roughly 9/11. I was just a kid then. I know it wasn’t normal before that. Personally? With resources in the state/city stretched so thin on immigration I don’t see it as such a bad thing. But I suppose that me feeling that means agenda achieved. Do you feel less safe as a New Yorker with their presence?
Addendum, when they refer to garbage can bombs, I'm pretty certain they are referring to the 2016 events: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_New_York_and_New_Jersey_bombings Otherwise things have (thank god) been relatively quiet here.
New Yorker here: It's Thanksgiving, the holiday decorations come out of storage all over the city. Rockefeller Center puts up the tree. We tend to get a lot of increased tourism and foot traffic during the holidays which logically means were at higher risk. Military presence has been commonplace during the holidays or major events in NYC for as long as I can remember.
It’s a shame, out of all the EV’s I thought the Cybertruck was the coolest and had the greatest potential. Philosophically I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having ambition to develop cool new tech. Conceptually it’s incredible EV’s get the amount of torque that they do but without an analogue power supply it’s highly impractical. Battery degradation is a huge problem as well. On top of that, China owns the monopoly on lithium, which mining is ironically insanely destructive to the environment.
I know what it 100% isn’t! Hunter Biden’s pardon… Which everyone is suddenly no longer talking about.
