This isn't really true in my experience. I have an Outlander PHEV and the costs associated with maintaining the electrical system have dwarved the ICE maintenance costs. The other major expense has been tires, which electric cars also

Can you elaborate on why you think Android is a disaster? Particularly the environmental aspect and freedom of choice. If android didn't exist then iOS might be the only major mobile OS, so in that sense at least it seems to be good th

It's more than just a lack of salary. There simply isn't enough technical work to keep highly skilled engineers busy at your typical industrial or infrastructure sites. Even if you had the funds to employ highly trained engineers,

I would never trust Samsung for this. You'd still end up using a closed OS, just one published by a different company. And in this case the company you're substituting has an appalling privacy record. Vastly worse than Google

Are pro-BEV people actually missing this? At least for now, the goal is only to remove some of the more significant sources of pollution. Vehicles for personal transport are a reasonable place to start. Obsessing about perfection is only go

It isn't a fallacy, and there is plenty of good discussion that can be had by questioning our proposed response to climate change, or COVID vaccinations. The mistake is calling the extremist view points "the other side". Peop

I'm the same. I rarely feel thirsty and can happily go all day without drinking any water. Even when dehydrated, I don't feel thirsty. Remembering to drink is a constant chore.

It makes more sense to use splitting to refer to access, rather than use. No group anywhere uses all of the www, but in the past all groups at least had the option of doing so. Edit: it was probably a much more significant change from the C

NZ has made a similar mistake to Oregon as described above. We shut down early and hard, practically wiping the disease out with less than 1200 total infections, and totally burning through all the good will required to tolerate a second sh

You could use PLA more to reduce the impact. It's made from plant materials and is biodegradable - unfortunately it still needs to be composted correctly to fully break down, so almost all your parts will still end up contributing micr

For many people, integration is defined as "the area under the curve" and computed using sets of known rules. Infinite series are a tool we use to reason about calculus concepts more formally. It's a very arbitrary distinctio
