Here is a more direct link.

Apprently my information is outdated. For a long time, wind turbines used electromagnets (the fact check is from 2016), but it looks like they are starting to use permanent magnets now (which require rare earths). They still don’t need them, and I think a lot of the ones using permanent magnets are from countries which have rare earths, but I will update my initial comment since I don’t want to move the goalposts.

In any case, there is a commenter above that mentioned solar, which according to my link does not need rare earth minerals.

I think the world bank report is a good read, regardless.

In a vacuum, sure. Not when you look at the whole picture

Not wind with sodium ion batteries. EDIT: Source

EDIT: This comment is based on outdated information (see the below thread). A growing number of wind turbines are switching from electromagnets to permanent magnets, the latter of which use rare earth minerals. You could still make wind turbines with electromagnets, but that does likely give countries with rare earth minerals a competitive advantage.

Do those neurons interact with hormones like mine do?

how do you know someone’s vegan? they’ll tell you

That statement reads to me the same as “how do you know someone has food allergies? They’ll tell you.”

EDIT: Just to be clear, I know that allergies are different than boycotts. If the girl could get anaphylactic shock from a drop of milk, the dad would be justified in reacting that way. However, in both cases, it makes sense to inform people that you can’t/won’t eat something.

People overwhelmingly kept autosave off. People just don’t like changing settings. I’m hoping Mozilla knows this.

From reading all the comments from the community, it’s amazing (yet not surprising) that all these managers have fallen for the marketing of all these LLMs

This is probably related to automation bias and wishful thinking

I think disroot and riseup are both left wing.

EDIT: Riseup is left wing (anti capitalist), Disroot looks like they’re liberal, but I don’t see their stance on capitalism anywhere.

It’s a shame someone named Arthur Pigou never figured out a solution over a century ago.

Oh wait

It’s a whitelist. Only phone numbers you explicitly allow can send commands. Alternatively, you can choose to enable a pin that must be given in order to execute commands.

FindMyDevice. Alternative to Google’s find my device. You send a text from a different phone number, and you can do things like get the GPS location, lock the device, erase the device, ring the device, or have the device take a picture of its location.

Most federal workers can’t strike because they functionally are already on strike due to the shutdown. They are already not working and not being paid.

The lawsuit is due to the threat of mass layoffs due to the shutdown, which is something that will happen to said federal workers who are, again, already not working and not being paid.

As for the ones who are working without pay, they probably should strike (or at least “call in sick” like they did last time). Air traffic controllers not showing up to work and delaying flights as a result is what led to an end to the last shutdown.

EDIT: Though, keep in mind, this is the United States. When air traffic controllers went on strike under Reagan, they were all fired, and air traffic controllers have never recovered.

I believe that the stance against nuclear power (specifically, nuclear fission, as opposed to radioisotope power used by spacecraft) by greens undermines the fight to stop global warming, and that many of the purported issues with nuclear power have been solved or were never really issues in the first place.

For instance: the nuclear waste produced by old-gen reactors can be used by newer generations.

Yeah, I didn’t even touch Pennsylvania. If you ignore Pennsylvania (specifically PA-7 and PA-8 which are the most likely candidates for election shenanigans) and the one seat Republicans gained due to gerrymandering (technically three: NC-6, NC-13, NC-14, but Republicans actually had to remove gerrymandering leading to Democrat wins in LA-6 and AL-2), Democrats would have taken the House. This is why the Supreme Court ended up voting against Independent State Legislature, as it would have benefited the Democrats due to ending the independent redistricting committees in states like California.

EDIT: I honestly think Republicans thought the race would be closer than it was, so they messed with suburban Philadelphia specifically since Pennsylvania was key to their strategy. This is mostly due to polling errors in PA-7 and PA-8 that underestimated the Republican by eight points, along with comments by Musk and Trump.

Oh, and also this article. Yes it’s New York Post, bear with me here. https://nypost.com/2024/11/05/us-news/widespread-voting-problems-reported-in-2-heavily-republican-pennsylvania-counties/.

In Luzerne County, one of two eastern Pennsylvania counties where Republicans overtook Democrats in active voter registration earlier this year, poll workers failed to set up shop on time.

Polls were supposed to open at 7 a.m., but in Luzerne County, wokers (sic, lmao) at a precinct in Laflin Borough were unable to access a scanner due to an issue with the lock. By about 8:40 a.m., several machines were up and running.

They didn’t say this, but Laflin Borough is part of PA-8.

Those are all good points. Thank you.

This is supposed to be a tetrahedron, but I suck at drawing 3D shapes. Just imagine that anarchism is the top of the tetrahedron and that the triangle is the base.

EDIT: Also, yellow is liberalism, if you can’t read it

EDIT 2: I have no qualm with down-voting, but I would prefer a comment explaining what parts specifically you did not like, so I know how to not make the same mistake in the future.

1. Those who didn’t vote, or voted third party, due to the pointless war in the middle east that involved war crimes just like every war I can think of since the Geneva Convention became a thing, that President Biden funded, did so in safe states that VP Harris won.
2. The makeup of the United States means that Republicans have an advantage in the Senate and therefore also the Electoral College.
3. Republicans gerrymander, Democrats half-heartedly gerrymander, since that is against the ideology of liberalism. This gives Republicans an edge in the House of Representatives as well.
4. The Republican advantage in the Senate is so great that the only way for Democrats to get a majority is to include neoliberal or conservative senators like Manchin, meaning progress is continuously stifled.
5. The Republicans are allowed to get away with stretching the rules, while the Democrats have to follow the rules at all times. Part of this, again, is due to adhering to liberal ideology, and part of it is due to the ruling class favoring Republicans. There has been a conservative majority in the Supreme Court since the 1980s. Democrats are controlled opposition, in that no matter how hard they try, they will never be able to enact meaningful change.
6. An actual left-wing candidate would not be liberal, as is the point of this post. Therefore, they would have no chance of winning the Democratic primary. That would force them to run as an independent or in a third party, and our system makes it almost impossible for a third party candidate to win, at least at the national level.

Yes, it is better to vote for a Democrat than a Republican, but it is much better to build grassroots support for leftism, which, shocker, is what leftists have been trying to do in the US for centuries. If anything, the leftists are doing the most to fight fascism, by trying to get rid of the US system of government that is biased towards the status quo, which by definition benefits the ruling class.
