Yeah just like how Paul Revere made up the story about the Boston massacre to sell papers.

I don’t see how history is a take. I literally wrote papers in college about this.

Bullshit. You can easily get a battery for less than $25,000. The Tesla model 3 is a 50KWh pack and is $14000 to replace and likely costs way less to make.

If you were really skilled you could buy 50KWh worth of cells for less than $10000.

The reason the batteries are more is because you have SUVs and Trucks that need twice the amount of cells for about the same range because they’re not aerodynamic

The goal wasn’t to make the British go away, the goal was to have representation and more than half of the people in the colonies weren’t even for the revolution. This is why they dressed up as natives for the Boston tea party so they could blame that shit on the natives.

The support of independence wasn’t much till Paul Revere demonized the Boston massacre into being much more villainous than it was.

The colonies kinda got what they want in revolution with the articles of confederation but with the rise of the federalists the US was created as a V2 of the British empire.

To me it looks like they think of the Internet like corporations do and needing growth to justify investment. I think that’s fair reasoning for sites that are profit driven but Lemmy isn’t.

Beans are cheaper dry than canned though. If you have the patience you can start them in a slow cooker before you go to work.

Garlic, onion, and peppers go miles in making beans taste good while also being cheaper.

Do they pay you to “yeah but” for them or are you just a simp?

But iPhones get long support, pixels now get 7, and S24 get 7.

Fairphone themselves even admits they can’t fix everything in production so a phone that was about to be waste is more fair.

If they built their phones in Germany or something I could accept the price but they’re made in China where labor standards aren’t exactly great.

I mostly can’t get over paying more for worse specs. It doesn’t have to feel bad now but with 8 years of support it could very easily not feel good in the future. It’s a $760 phone that benchmarks close to the Samsung A54 a $400 phone.

The selling point is the ethical value of the phone but it’ll never top how much waste buying a used phone saves.

The switch runs on a chip that’s used in Android TVs and really old tablets. It could theoretically run way more if Nintendo weren’t so difficult.

Ideally I’d like trains for local trips and high speed rail for longer distances. I’d prefer to not own or use a car at all but most cities would have to be torn down and rebuilt to achieve this.

Just because they are good and your job gives raises doesn’t mean previous employers did.

If you want loyalty get a dog, I work to get paid.

Capitalism only ever innovates in the extraction of more profit.
