How many fkn variants of github are therr

Like whats the damn diff between github and gitlab

[frank kelp]

Yo, Can someone help me out with posting something in Tech support considering I am for some reason unable to post?

[strange skiff]

One gets yelled at for inaccurate graphs?

[sick coral]

should i buy the regular or deluxe edition of starfield

[strange skiff]

Do you want to play on the 1st or 6th

[sick coral]

i never played a bethesda game before except from 1 hour of the start of fallout new vegas and 35 hours of 76 so im not sure what im in for

[sick coral]

i dont want spoilers

the 1st

[strange skiff]

Then delux it is. That has the early acess

[full fossil]

safe to say ltt lost a lot of views

[sick coral]

can someone tell me what to expect

[dusty rune]

blud never played doom eternal

[sick coral]

thats an id software game

bethesda is just the publisher

[dusty rune]

pshh, same thing

[quaint venture]

I mean ZeniMax Media owns both id software and bethesda

[sick coral]

yeah but that doesnt mean that doom eternal is a bethesda game

if bungie makes halo and its released by microsoft, is it a microsoft game or a bungie game?

[quaint venture]

I could argue both

The publisher helps fund the game so in reality they do have a lot of ownership over said game

[sick coral]

yeah but that means theyre the owners not the makers

[quaint venture]

And if you go on bethesdas website Doom is on there as their game

[lyric sphinx]

Broast

[full fossil]

Was so happy to get a real video today

[sick coral]

yeah same thing if i go to bandai namco's website and look up "elden ring" doesnt mean they made it

[full fossil]

and it was a great video

[full fossil]

gottem

bethesda did start out with shooters and crappy lil games tho, but ya it wasnt doom

[sick coral]

so let me again ask, whats a bethesda game like?

what should i expect from starfield?

[full fossil]

I dont understand what youre asking

your average bethesda game?

[jaunty compass]

a buggy mess

[full fossil]

That would focus on lore, world building and classic RPG mechanics, normally filled with new ideas and pushing tech as far as it can, with more bugs than your aunts shed

[sick coral]

apart from the bugs

[hearty spear]

Depends on which game:
But, locked at 60fps, because changing that will break physics
A modding community that'll make the game 100x better than at launch
and eventually Bethesda will ignore patching shit, cuz the community will fix it better than they can

[jaunty compass]

"classic rpg mechanics"

i'll believe it when the game comes out

[full fossil]

There is leveling up with some sort of points/ stats to allocate , that has been confirmed

[fossil frost]

"classic RPG mechanics" means "uses the D+D ruleset"

[jaunty compass]

so they backpedalled from the disaster they were going towards, that's good

[full fossil]

I have game pass but not even sure I will play starfield im not really into space stuff, ive been playing daggerfall and armored core lately lol

[hearty spear]

I'm likely to try it, but potentially not right at launch

[quaint venture]

I mean their money helps make the game which I would argue means they do at least help make it and it counts towards their IP as well, if you mean purely creative sense then I can give you that but even then Bethesda did offer massive support when Doom 2016 was released so that it could actually be made ina reasonable time. To answer your question most Bethesda games are open world, skill tress and usually bugs

[jaunty compass]

I'm skeptical bethesda made an actual rpg after the disaster that was fallout 4 and fallout 76

you can see the degredation of the rpg mechanics as far back as fallout 3 and then later skyrim where it really went down hill

[quaint venture]

fallout 4 and fallout 76 are FPS games with a skill tree

[full fossil]

Zenimax is the parent company of bethesda who bought IdSoftware, the creators of doom in 2009

[quaint venture]

@full fossil

[full fossil]

oh i missed that

yes they own the company, so any doom titles made after 2009 are zenimax games

[sick coral]

i mean i tend to be lucky when it comes to experiencing bugs, in both fallout 76 and cyberpunk 77 i had ~3 bugs at the most, only one of which i needed to actually do something to fix

[jaunty compass]

they don't even have skill trees

they have perk lists

fallout 76 has fucking perk cards

[quaint venture]

Semantics

[sick coral]

yeah 76 leveling system is fuckkeedd

[quaint venture]

Same difference

[full fossil]

im lucky to have found exactly what kind of games i enjoy and no longer sit on the edge of my seat for new games. I could play TES 1-5 for the rest of my life and be content

[sick coral]

so theyre your comfort games?

[full fossil]

ya any old school rpg or good rpg, but i mainly like dungeon crawlers, there is no shortage of them from the 90s

once in awhile theres a game outside of that but its pretty rare, ive been playing ac 6 and having a blast with that

[pale osprey]

im in that boat but its sinking lol

[full fossil]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1882240/Forgotten_Realms_The_Archives__Collection_One/ is on sale

[pale osprey]

the batch of games i regularly play is from 08-15 and i still like playing them but its getting old and i want new games but new games fucking suck

[full fossil]

yeah I feel the same way, most new games of the last 10 years i cant really feel the love in

i really like elder scrolls 1-3 and games like might and magic , not heroes

[sick coral]

my batch of comfort games is modded doom 2, doom eternal, and ultrakill

[full fossil]

quite opposite lol

I really enjoy learning the lore, religion, politics, etc of a fantasy world then being a part of it, Morrowind is my favorite for this

[polar fern]

@sick coral m m m m monster kill

[sick coral]

theyre challenging when you want them to and mindless when you dont

[pale osprey]

the only 2 recent games ive like enough to finish are stray and cyberpunk 2077 (i had to wait a year for it to be actually playable though)

i play bf 2042 quite a bit as well

[polar fern]

Man, I am absolutely exhausted.

[pale osprey]

but it doesnt have an ending soo

[full fossil]

none of those are really my style unfortunately

[sick coral]

2077 was great. the story was too akward for me but as a general package its really good, especially the leveling system. i cant wait for phantom liberty

actually, hot take: 2077 is better than the witcher 3

[polar fern]

CP’77 was very nsfw 🤣

[full fossil]

I wish I could get into sci fi, cyberpunk does look like a good rpg, i checked out the character creator and it seemed great

[sick coral]

i saw ppl talk about cyberpunk edgerunners on twitter like "OMG I LOVE CP SOOOO MUCHH"

[full fossil]

lmao

[sick coral]

[polar fern]

@sick coral to be fair, Witcher 3 has some 👀 too

[strange elk]

[median idol]

Cherry Pepsi

[full fossil]

you know what non fantasy rpg I did really like? Disco Elysium

[pale osprey]

the games ive been playing long term are gta sa-4-5, last of us, skrim and oblivion, dayz, minecraft, beam ng and mw3 multiplayer on plutonium

[full fossil]

I once died because a little girl broke my moral by making me realize i was worthless at my job

[sick coral]

yeah but the witcher 3 is bad so idc

[polar fern]

@full fossil skill issue

[full fossil]

its not easy be in an alchoholic cop with amnesia

[sick coral]

also how can i enjoy this video game without an option to have homosxual sx

[full fossil]

no

[pale osprey]

i actually liked the story

[polar fern]

🤣

Bear sax tho

[full fossil]

i like my games sx free

im an old prude i guess

[pale osprey]

cyberpunk is fun to play with nvidia surround

[polar fern]

I like Minecraft, where you use seeds and wheat to breed animals. So wholesome.

[full fossil]

was it a pretty complete story?

[pale osprey]

yeah with different endings depending on how stupid you are

[full fossil]

haha nice

[sick coral]

bg3 being advertised as "the game where you can have bear gex" is the best marketing move ive seen in a long time

[polar fern]

you know Minecraft is the ultimate game because it has bread.

Yes. 🤣

[empty pollen]

Need me some Linus Loaf Tips.

[pale osprey]

i put a video in #off-topic

[full fossil]

The opposite for me, Larians cartoony art style and the marketing being "LOL RANDOM" humor/encounters and sx stuff really made me uninterested

[median idol]

I'm down for Emily to make some Linux Tech Tips

[polar fern]

@empty pollen Preheat your oven to 400°F and then line your baking pan with parchment.

[full fossil]

BREAD TIPS LETS GO

[empty pollen]

And then?

[polar fern]

Jensen was actually using that oven for bread.

[sick coral]

i mean i do agree its bad when they overdo it, just look at opera gx's titter acc

[empty pollen]

How is eveyone doing this fine afternoon?

[lethal jay]

If anything, I like how they pushed the fact you have options to do so much. Obv they showed one of the most outlandish option to get headlines

[full fossil]

lol they post a lot of sx stuff on there twitter?

[sick coral]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cfKc8U4iwg

[full fossil]

yeah ive been told that its not as bad as it appears and i have it on wishlist for a sale

[empty pollen]

Watch out for this one they want your password, I can just feel it.

[sick coral]

wrong reply

[full fossil]

if bread is so great why doesnt it have RGB?

[sick coral]

they do this shit

[polar fern]

@empty pollen pour your rested dough carefully into the lined bread pan & place on the top rack for 35 minutes.

BRB

[lethal jay]

100% worth picking up for under 20euro or so. Its a great game, but if you haven't played larion games or dnd before, its a hard sell at 60 euro.

[jagged dune]

wait what

[empty pollen]

Where should I buy my bread pan?

Is there a store?

[sick coral]

this is actually offensive to me, its fine to joke around on tha titter but dont straight up block people from their own information

[jagged dune]

Opera GX is fun

[full fossil]

lmao kind afunny

[polar fern]

@empty pollen kitchen supply stores are good for finding high quality bread pans, and some of them even sell the parchment!

[jagged dune]

first of all they dont actually suspend you for playing val...

[full fossil]

i played divinity 1 and 2, i enjoyed them but not enough to beat them

[jagged dune]

it's off of twitter, it was made just to gain clicks and views

[polar fern]

Just be sure you’re not buying a plastic version of a bread pan because those do exist

[sick coral]

how would you know

[median idol]

https://youtu.be/RcYDipyvNwE?si=LOhfP8FtW_GKRSpS

[polar fern]

Hah

[full fossil]

I like opera GX because it adds sound when I type, it lets me know when the latest jontron video is out, and it steals all my information

[jagged dune]

they literally advertise valorent ON the browser....

[polar fern]

BBL

[dusty rune]

greatest twitter account

[jagged dune]

I use opera GX, the twitter acc is for shitposts

[neon mesa]

edge best browser anyway

[dusty rune]

cause the guy who runs the account is a major troll lol

[sick coral]

https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/opera

[full fossil]

I unironically use edge for all my real accounts and opera for youtube/discord/etc

[empty pollen]

I dont trust them, I want a LTT store bread pan and an all edges lasagna/brownie pan. Someone tag the merch folk.

[full fossil]

yeah I know I just dont mind

[jagged dune]

I use chrome and opera mostly

I just like how convenient opera is

[full fossil]

i love the sidebar, and the cutomization

[dusty rune]

every browser on that list is high or extremely high

[jagged dune]

the customization is the best part honestly, it's so fun

[empty pollen]

Who likes brownies with edges?

[dusty rune]

ok you can stop sending lol

[empty pollen]

I just had a geocities flashback.

[full fossil]

send more

[dusty rune]

so every browser that is even slightly known is spyware, got it

[jagged dune]

every browser tracks something in someway

[sick coral]

have you even clicked the links

[dusty rune]

have you heard of librewolf, icecat or waterfox before?

[full fossil]

no

[sick coral]

yes

[full fossil]

y

[dusty rune]

i seriously doubt it

[gilded forge]

Firefox goated

[full fossil]

true, but i still dont use it

[dusty rune]

anyway, everything you do on the internet is tracked, changing your browser wont help you

[gilded forge]

Tor.

[quaint venture]

Yeah they're firefox forks, why?

[jagged dune]

nope

[full fossil]

not true at all, i use mcaffee antivirus and pay for winrar and winzip

[dusty rune]

😭

[dusty rune]

ermmmm, has spyware

[gilded forge]

I pray this isn't real

[sick coral]

icecat is made by gnu, which is one of the biggest advocates for floss and tracking-free software

[full fossil]

It is, and i clicked all 3 of the download buttons to get winzip and win rar

[dusty rune]

cant use tor browser guys

you have to use stripped down and weird ass browsers

you thought you were save with brave?? NAH

[full fossil]

they are brave about spying on you

[gilded forge]

well I knew that. it has a fucking crypto wallet installed by default.

[neon mesa]

i mean the company that owned brave got into some privacy scandal before

[dusty rune]

anyway, as long as my password dont randomly get swindled from the browser, does it matter?

[neon mesa]

honestly, a browser that advertise privacy (many other apps too) is sus

like how DuckDuckGo is a sell out

[full fossil]

i honeslty just use edge, and all microsoft everything, im using their os so they are going to take my info if they want to regardless

[jagged dune]

in other words: Just don't use the internet. everyone is spying on you.

[dusty rune]

yeah i like edge as well

[full fossil]

i use opera gx for stuff i could care less about

[neon mesa]

i use edge dev channel since it has the new UI
and also microsoft account integration

i also use onedrive, edge mobile, and microsoft launcher

oh and the office 365 suite

using one ecosystem makes it easier

[dull granite]

literally ltt

[gilded forge]

I just sandbox anything shady

[sick coral]

thats not ltt thats the carti sub

[dusty rune]

...

[jagged dune]

"1y"

[gilded forge]

I uninstalled it and just use a cracked version of Office 2013 and LibreOffice which I sync with my Gdrive using Synching and Gdrive desktop

[gilded forge]

plus tell me you don't ACTUALLY use bing...

[neon mesa]

i do use bing actually
after using it daily i find the result to be equally relevant to google

plus i get to use microsoft reward

[dusty rune]

i dont like the image search of bing sometime

[neon mesa]

free trip to the convenicence store every month

[gilded forge]

bing annoys me. just small things that make me hate it

[neon mesa]

plus bingAI

[dusty rune]

the points in romania r so useless

you basically get no offers, and no way to get points except those 3 or smth when you search something

[sick coral]

if you dont care about your data being leaked, then no

[full fossil]

I actually like edge but I hate bing

[hearty spear]

well, it is just a chrome skin, so, yeah, it's a fine browser

[full fossil]

edge is?

[dusty rune]

and how will my data being leaked affect me

[hearty spear]

has been for a while.
MS Stopped making their own browser like 2 years ago or something?

[full fossil]

why is it lighter?

[hearty spear]

different stuff included. Same way Brave and other browsers do it

[neon mesa]

bing looks better ngl

[full fossil]

nice, well its better than internet explorer

[hearty spear]

MS Killed that.... 8 years ago? more?

[full fossil]

oh okay

I wouldnt know

[sick coral]

do you want your full name, address, and passwords all public?

[neon mesa]

any new windows installation will not have IE

[full fossil]

im about to have a new windows installation

[dusty rune]

i already told you about the password part

[full fossil]

i am building a pc that will trigger anyone

[quaint venture]

Would be nice, I might forget them in the future

[dusty rune]

and my full name is already public lol, its the internet

[full fossil]

already bought the stuff and building it this wekeend when it gets here

[dusty rune]

fully noctua

[hearty spear]

good luck actually using it today. MS makes it hard

IE was replaced with Edge in 2015 officially.
Edge got dropped as a separate browser and switched to Chromium in 2020.

[gilded forge]

or OG edge

[neon mesa]

ah yes noctua
pay triple for same cooling performance as a $40 cooler
and also, look ugly as fuck

[dusty rune]

nah, chromax looks good

[full fossil]

I actually do use it sometimes, its my default for outlook and ive been too lazy to change it for years

[hearty spear]

do you not run updates?

[full fossil]

idk

[hearty spear]

cuz for a while MS has included a BHO that forces you into edge, and you can't even manually use IE without some fuckery

[gilded forge]

I feel like that's not safe. or efficient.

[hearty spear]

considering how little of the web actually works with IE still? it is kinda dumb

[full fossil]

what doesnt work

[neon mesa]

webpages

[hearty spear]

most of the internet doesn't work in IE.

[neon mesa]

many modern webpages uses newer standards that straight up missing in IE

[neon mesa]

what are you trying to prove
that's just edge

[full fossil]

no its internet explorer

[hearty spear]

that's edge

[neon mesa]

??

[hearty spear]

110% that's edge

Click on the meatball menu and show that

[full fossil]

lmao.. sorry

youre right, it looks different then my edge when i open it

i assumed since outlook was opening it it was internet explorer but its just edge

[jagged dune]

opera just uses google for it's search stuff

[hearty spear]

if you click on that "Internet Explorer" app in start? It'll immediately close and launch edge instead

[jagged dune]

the only real differences are the tab screen and all the hotbars/customizations

[full fossil]

this page is working fine

[neon mesa]

read lmao

[full fossil]

I know im just joking lol

[gilded forge]

I don't know what to make of this statement

[gilded forge]

try OldWeb Project

[full fossil]

OH

sorry this is a bit random, but you said old

i bought a retro mech keyboard and the driver for it is literally a virus

https://www.whatgeek.com/products/ajazz-ak992-mechanical-keyboard

[gilded forge]

just run it sandboxed or in a VM

[full fossil]

This is the keyboard, if you download the driver ( don't) its a virus

[hearty spear]

free bonus virus! That's worth at least an extra 20 bucks!

[full fossil]

look at that list lmao

[gilded forge]

wait it's only $50?

[full fossil]

i actually got it for $33 and am really happy with it

retro during the day, nice backlight at night

[strange elk]

Damn Id prob buy that keeb too

45 rn

[full fossil]

it came with key caps to replace the brown if you want all one color and its a decent mechanical keyboard

its just a lil virus ya know

[dull granite]

sometimes you gotta to uhhh close the door

[full fossil]

true

[lethal jay]

The worst kind of keyboards to me are the semi-mechnaical or mechanical that are super clicky. Like harsh on the ears loud. I'd rather rubber domes at that point.

Or shaky caps, they make for a pretty terrible typing experience

[full fossil]

this one is solid but definately a bit clicky, it doesnt bother me but it does bother my wife if im typing a lot lol

and im in a different room lol

[stoic beacon]

Blue switches or an old IBM...

[pliant karma]

IMB Model M hits different lol.

[fierce moth]

May I suggest box jade's 💀

[pliant karma]

I would totally use that keyboard

[stoic beacon]

My parents still have theirs

[fierce moth]

I have yet to try a model m

[lethal jay]

I had a like 20 euro semi-mechanical that was sooo loud

[stoic beacon]

It's just about 40 years old now probably

[lethal jay]

it drove me and everyone else in the house insane

[fierce moth]

Ltt should do something bread related for the April fools video next year

[ebon otter]

Does anyone know if you can put 4 side fans on the fractle north if you buy another side mount?

[full fossil]

True

[fierce moth]

What retro games have y'all been playing lately?

[tired glade]

First spellforce

Or it doesn't classified as retro yet?

[fierce moth]

Depends what console generation it released on

[tired glade]

It's PC exclusive

[fierce moth]

Personally I think 6th gen and older is retro

So like gc, ps2 and og xbox

[full fossil]

Just beat Elder Scrolls Arena, now I am playing Daggerfall

1994 / 1996

[fierce moth]

That's quite old

[full fossil]

going all the way through them again but with the same character

[tired glade]

Oh,my Arena

[full fossil]

little role play fun

[tired glade]

Had you figure out block?

[fierce moth]

Personally I've been playing shin megami tensei 1, via an English translation patch

[full fossil]

I dont understand the question

[full fossil]

thats a series I always wanted to try but haven't , its like a harder pokemon right?

[tired glade]

It was worth every dime tho

How's it run nowadays

[fierce moth]

Pretty good, locked 30

[sage quiver]

Good to hear.

[fierce moth]

But I have a modded switch so I overclock

[sage quiver]

oooh

[fierce moth]

Homebrew really unlocks the potential of the switch

[full fossil]

I can't stop segue-ing

to our sponsor

[fierce moth]

One piece of homebrew even let's ya hook up non Nintendo controllers without using an adapter

[sage quiver]

But have you segued on a Segway from your house to the park?

[full fossil]

I sadly don't own a Segway people mover

[sage quiver]

Me neither.

[neon mesa]

RiDgE!

[sage quiver]

I find the pro controller to be adequate, but that's nice to have.

[full fossil]

Get that chunck out of your pants. Not that one, the other one.

Your wallet.

With a Ridge wallet you can keep all of your cards easily accessible while compressing their size

[fierce moth]

Yeah, I picked up a pro controller the other week and it's much better than using an xbox controller

[sage quiver]

Noice

[fierce moth]

As the analogue triggers ain't confusing you

[sage quiver]

Aren't they digital on the pro

Or do you mean you prefer digital

[full fossil]

I bought a razer controlelr with extra bumpers thinking i could bind them to anything i want only to find out it shares the x and a button so its literally useless to me

[fierce moth]

Yeah they ain't analogue

Therefore if you have a controller with analogue triggers it doesn't do anything

[sage quiver]

Ahhh, I see what you mean.

[full fossil]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09C13DWYL?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details this thing

[fierce moth]

So the trigger has to be all the way down for it to work

But overall it's nice to be able to use an xbox controller on the thing if I'm running short on controllers

[dull granite]

[fierce moth]

Yeah

I also have the NSO snes controller

Which is so good to use in mk8

[sage quiver]

Shame the sticker cap is so low :(

[gilded forge]

I just use 8BitDo. reliable, big enough to feel as comfortable as a GCN controller, but small enough to not feel like the Wii Classic controller.

[solar stratus]

That’s amazing

[fierce moth]

I would love to get an 8bitdo controller

[sage quiver]

Higher-res reshoot courtesy of @whole rose

only one i have is the Duke controller replica from Hyperkin

and yes, im probably one of the few people that actually like the duke controller

[fierce moth]

I had to bloody cut off a couple of fingers for the price of gc controller I got

Well finding it at least

Got it for a cool 45 aud

[gilded forge]

i just have the same one ive had since i was a kid. i have the Mario Red launch edition Wii, and I got gc games from gamestop and would use the gc controller that i had back then for it. it blew my mind growing up that two consoles could be played on a slim rectangle

[fierce moth]

I personally prefer using my cube for gc games, but when I can't be assed plugging everything in I'll just use my wii u

I pretty much use the same sd card between all my disk based Nintendo consoles

I have a question that is probably pretty stupid. I'm installing an aftermarket CPU cooler. The screws don't seem to fasten into the board though. It's like there's nothing it's screwing into. Do I need like bolts or something for the other side or am I missing a thing that I need to screw it into?

[dusty rune]

did u install the backplate

[graceful burrow]

You gotta have a backplate

[graceful mortar]

🛑 find the instructions first

[dusty rune]

did u read the manual

[graceful burrow]

Yeah read the manual lmao

[sullen depot]

Would that come with the board or the cooler? I don't think so. The stock one just screwed right in. I've read the very short two sentence instructions a bunch of times.

I don't know if I have a back plate

[graceful mortar]

What cooler, what board

[graceful burrow]

You are installing the cooler

Why would you need the motherboard manual if you're installing the cooler

[sullen depot]

I don't know what the back plate comes with It wasn't in the cooler box

[graceful mortar]

What cooler what board

[graceful burrow]

Depends on the motherboard and cooler

[sullen depot]

ASRock x370 killer sli/ac am4 & peerless assassin 120 SE ARGB

[sage quiver]

Looks like that cooler uses the stock backplate for AM4

[graceful mortar]

^^

[sullen depot]

Do I need to buy a back plate?

[sage quiver]

It'll look something like this

Comes with the motherboard

[sullen depot]

Oh okay cool! Thank you guys. I'm going to have to go in a treasure hunt to find it now though. Lmao

[sage quiver]

It would've been attached with the hardware shown on the bottom of this image

[sullen depot]

So I have to remove the board in order to put the black plate on there huh?

[graceful burrow]

No

Gotta remove the other side panel tho

[sullen depot]

Oh thank God

[graceful mortar]

itt should have been attacked to the screws on those black plastic things i posted here #public-chat message

[sullen depot]

Oh okay, I think I have seen that before. I took it off when I installed the stock cooler originally

[graceful mortar]

like this (this is NOT your board, just similar)

[sullen depot]

Thank you guys. Now I just need to find it

[graceful mortar]

that link doesnt work so cant direct you to instructions. shoudl have been in cooler box.

[sage quiver]

Yeah, I found some random YT vid when I ran into the same issue

Though it would have been installed on the motherboard, not the cooler box

[graceful mortar]

here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6PrpIVYP14

[sage quiver]

The backplates included with the cooler are likely for Intel

ah wait, you were referring to the instructions being in the box

[graceful mortar]

yes

video is basic but good

[sullen depot]

Oh I feel really dumb now. When I uninstalled the stock cooler, the back plate on the other side just fell down. So it was already inside the computer just slipped out when I removed the cooler.

[graceful mortar]

yep. i figured that

[sage quiver]

Glad you found it!

[sullen depot]

Do you think we will continue to see dna sequencing advance to the point to allow us to have designer offspring?

This should stop the issues of off spring abuse and abandonment right?

Should this technology be available to everyone? Or should we restrict it to the financial elite?

Bearing in mind the statistics state the less financially sound you are the more likely you are to be subject to abuse.
Thoughts?

[tired glade]

[graceful mortar]

So now we're at that crossroad.

Wasn't there these kids that were modified to be immune to a disease or something?

[graceful mortar]

[tired glade]

You can order mammoth meat now

[past egret]

they arrested the scientist and left it at that

they are both still alive and no trials have ran on them yet probably because theyre like 4 years old

maybe once theyre adults, they might consent to trials?

[graceful mortar]

I'm just curious how we're going to use technology to navigate this ethical concern.

For instance we've known for quite some time unassigned stem cells have they ability to repair nearly anything.

They actually just ran trials using stem cells to cure HIV. We've known that for quite some time but they just finally got around to doing it.

[tired glade]

Haha

You don't need babies for stem cells anymore,so that problem fixed

HIV is always puzzled me. We've effectively inoculated many diseases off of this planet.

But if I'm a pharmaceutical company I'm much less interested in a cure, a much more interested in lifelong treatment because it pleases my shareholders. Hence PREP

[tired glade]

Cure is easier to sell than 90 years of medicines, you believe in lies

[graceful mortar]

We're going to have to agree to disagree based on the conversations I've had with individuals who hold doctorates and focus on exactly this.

Is it super easy like using cowpox to inoculate against smallpox? No.

But there's a lack of funding for continued research.

[fierce moth]

Humans suck with diseases

We only eradicated one disease so far

[gilded forge]

no, if you're a pharmaceutical company, you're looking for the best way to squeeze money out of people with little to no insurance, and holding THEIR LIFELIHOOD in your hands. people die not because cures dont exist, but because they cant afford the cures that might work and might not work. take insulin for example. diabetics need it to survive, yet its so expensive that on top of insurance costs and other medical expenses, theyre basically BROKE.

[graceful mortar]

Not really. 'one of those' take a look at Pfizer versus gram-negative bacterium.

[graceful mortar]

See I disagree with that.
Just because of the financial aspect.

If it's a disease that tends to ravage poor communities there's no money to be made so why would I spend $10 $20 billion dollars?

Who's going to pay for all that? I'm going to have to donate the cure and then my shareholders will vote me out.

[noble parcel]

Hi. How's everyone doing?

Do we know if Emily is coming back soon? 🥺 I really miss her

[graceful mortar]

Exactly what I'm saying. Hell we saw it with the EpiPens (I used to work on the case manufacturing side). We saw it with Narcan.

Why would this be any different?

[tired glade]

Had you ever heard about international health organisation?

[pale osprey]

a cure can only be sold once. meds are a subscription to life

[graceful mortar]

I'm not saying there's a conspiracy or that we have a cure just waiting in the ranks.

What I am saying is there's a reason for lack of funding that simply can't be ignored and that's the financial aspect of return on investment.

[fossil frost]

a cure for cancer, your target sales base is every animal on the planet... a preventitive cure? fuck, if you are the company that comes up with that and patents it/copyrights it, you get 30 years of being the only one that can end the most common cause of death in a lot of countries right now, if you think palatine care treatment is worth more than that, you are absolutely deluded..

[gilded forge]

"lack of funding" and "putting funding into places where it doesnt matter" are two different things

[tired glade]

There are enough diseases out there, especially when people paying 15$ for 200ml of vitamin water

[graceful mortar]

What??? No you're supposed to look at Pfizer and their progress they made with gram negative bacterium before they canceled it

because if you bring an antibiotic to the market the first thing you have to tell everybody is use it as little as possible because every single dose that you administer makes it less effective for everyone.

Or you can spend that $10 billion dollars and make a drug like lipitor and make all of your money back in less than 3 years... Verses 20 to 30 just to break even on an antibiotic.

This shows they're not necessarily concerned about the best interest of the people.

[fossil frost]

so... you are saying that there is a conspiracy?

[pale osprey]

greed isnt a conspiracy

[fossil frost]

a vaccine is a cure, im pretty sure most people get yearly boosters for a lot of stuff... a cure can be a subscription too

[graceful mortar]

I mean this came directly from the individuals who worked at the Pfizer facility....

[tired glade]

10billion for pandemic is nothing

[gilded forge]

I don't need you to tell that a corporate organization isnt in the best interest of people. all corporations are in the best interest of shareholders and making yearly quotas. it doesnt matter which one youre talking about, because theyre all bad.

[fossil frost]

its not, but purposely hiding something you know to exist in the pursuit of greed, is conspiracy

[fossil frost]

i know people who work at a microsoft facility, who say that microsoft murder babies... do you believe me?

[pale osprey]

like companies covering up how they are killing residents of towns with chemicals they dump in the water?

[astral wedge]

I heard that LTT was producing a COVID vaccine made entirely of Bread. 🥖 🍞 🥯

[fossil frost]

because i said it... and i have just as much believability as you do, and its just as bat shit insane as what you are saying

[graceful mortar]

How much could I charge an insurance company for a cure to cancer that comes in a single shot?

$10 million, $25 million?

do you really think the insurance companies are going to pay that?

Bear in mind my daily medication cost $200,000+ a year so those numbers aren't far off.

I can have you tied to a medication that I can increase the price of at any point in time that currently cost $200,000 a year.... or I can give you a single dose of a medication that completely eliminates the need for you to be a reoccurring customer.

See the financial bias there.

[tired glade]

People, why there aren't conspiracy theories about how food is getting delivered around the world, that is extremely complicated mechanism too?

[fossil frost]

if they discuss the act before hand, and then make any action in furtherance of that act, then yes, its conspiracy

[tired glade]

Wasn't that someone very bad?

[graceful mortar]

Okay since you're not willing to do the research I'll go ahead and give you the TLDR.

Gram negative bacterias are how we had superbugs such as MRSA. Stay with me here

Pfizer had made a large amount of ingrounds to a new antibiotic to deal with this issue.

The facility was closed down because pfizers blockbuster revenue from lipitor was about to end because the patent was about to expire allowing generics to compete

In order to financially stabilize themselves they stopped all research on antibiotics because of the ROI aspect.

They were ready to go to trial That's how finished the antibiotics work.

[spice pine]

hey crazy question here but uh. why are we talking about conspiracy nonsense?

🍞

[graceful mortar]

I mean I believe that those people exist

I don't necessarily believe that a software company has any reason for any gain to be had from murdering babies.... What gain would they have from that?

[fossil frost]

medicine in the USA doesnt cost what the badge cost says it does.. that 200 grand, is 200 grand to the insurance company, and the insurance company pays about 10 cents on the dollar... all medical care in the USA is marked up 10x, because of this...because its all pretend numbers to make people at the top of these companies feel better about themselves... in the rest of the world, these sort of numbers are seen as absolutely insane, so no, nobodies medicine costs 200 grand, probably doesnt even cost 20 grand

[fossil frost]

well. im telling you they do exist, and they do do it

[tired glade]

Oh, right, reminder for everyone, pharmacy mainly makes money on vitamin supplements

[fossil frost]

in the same way you are making up your horse shit

[pale osprey]

even though you may not find out for sure sometimes logic is all you need to get a good idea of the truth. there is no evidence that putin ordered Prigozhin to be killed for example but nobody is saying anything else happened

[graceful mortar]

See I didn't say that. you said that.

My question was why did it take so long to get to real world testing of STEM cells to cure HIV infections?

[spice pine]

isn't stem cell research like, super heavily regulated?

[fossil frost]

medical research (all research) is tied up by ethics committees, funding, computer modelling studies

and STEM cells on top of that, are a live box of wasps thrown into a small room of many people

[graceful mortar]

I actually just looked at my insurance statement The pharmaceutical company request $6,000 for 30 doses. It is negotiated down to $4,500 for 30 doses.

It's a life time medication. That's 54,000 a year.

I also looked at non-insured options in case I have to drop my insurance. The cheapest price available to me is $4,000 a month. $48,000 a year. Median income in my state is 50 k

[strong knoll]

I need help in #audio-tech pls

[fossil frost]

yes, the inflated costs are on your statement, its not what actually gets paid

[graceful mortar]

That's interesting. Do you have any testimonies to back that up?

[fossil frost]

only what the people told me, in the same way you only have what you "were told"

[graceful mortar]

In the mid '90s it was theorized that stem cells could be used to treat HIV....

[fierce moth]

At the end of the day, humans are just big meat bags

[gilded forge]

but the issue is that most people cant afford it either way. my dad recently lost his job and thus his primary health insurance. what was originally free because of yearly shit i could never understand, is now $300 for 30 tablets of abilify. because of the financial situation in my family, he has to stop using the medication that keeps him from being a deranged psychotic.

[tired glade]

Stem cells most likely won't be path to full cure

[fossil frost]

im not defending insurance companies, im saying that @graceful mortar is full of shit and an absolute lunatic

[tired glade]

For now*

[graceful mortar]

No these are what the insurance company actually pays. In my case the US government actually pays.

There is not some secret back door offline invoicing that occurs. That is what they are paying.

The statement of benefits is considered a legal document.

[spice pine]

i'd like to point to places like costplusdrugs that are actively working to bring the costs of most medications down, i think that's a pretty good thing

[pale osprey]

and if you dont have insurance and arent smart enough to get them to lower the billed ammount then you get fucked

[graceful mortar]

No see on the Pfizer situation there is well documented testimonies from the researchers themselves.

[fossil frost]

similar medication for myself, 60 for £9 every 2 months

[gilded forge]

[graceful mortar]

We were talking about DNA sequencing. Since HIV hijacks DNA. (Like all viruses) we're still on topic.

[pale osprey]

just because someone has been doing it for decades doesnt mean they are good at it. there is currently a cop whos been a lieutenant for 27 years getting in shit for not knowing the miranda rights.

[graceful mortar]

I didn't want to draw the conversation to that fact....

[spice pine]

i don't understand what the point of this conversation was other than to just upset people lmao

[tired glade]

It like super condition material, doesn't matter if we getting better one, if it won't replace cost effective materials we already using

[tired glade]

Cure is less costly to sell for big companies

[graceful mortar]

It was supposed to be about designer babies.

And whether or not if there was no human aspect to their creation whether or not they'd be considered property.

Then we got into sequencing which then let us to viruses because viruses hijack DNA their own benefit.

Then we started talking about how US pharmaceutical companies have absolutely no interest in the greater good because they're publicly traded companies and therefore their first priority is making their shareholders as much money as possible... by law.

We went full circle, but it's pretty bumpy when you start having to let people know that corporations do not act in your best interest.

[gilded forge]

how many people died with COVID in a single year, vs HIV in a single year? excluding the 80s, COVID has claimed more lives in a single year than HIV has. a worldwide pandemic killing thousand of people per day VS a viral infection that kills that many in maybe a year. yeah. sure.

[nova ingot]

[fossil frost]

in general, the amount of time spent doing something does have a positive correlation with the aptitude for doing that thing, but there are always exceptions, and everybody knows somebody who is one of those exceptionally stupid people who nobody knows how they got to where they are

[spice pine]

oh, yeah i thought that "why didn't it get done sooner" thing was pretty disrespectful. it's obvious that research into terrible diseases like that are going to unfortunately take a lot of time and red tape to get to where we're at

[tired glade]

Don't compare that to COVID

[fierce moth]

But I can just summon a catgirl

[gilded forge]

i didnt, he did. i was only proving him wrong.

[graceful mortar]

Okay well you can't really just like cut huge sections out. Like you said with dropping everything from the '80s.

The other issue is it's almost impossible to get a true COVID statistic because of the cost of testing and limited capability

so it's well documented already that a number of individuals that died listed as COVID were actually from the normal flu (New York) so we don't really have control over the reported statistics.

I don’t think I have the patience to ever do it myself but goddamn some folks are skilled

[graceful mortar]

YouTube recommended me this but I had already seen it...
https://youtu.be/EkyAuG9RSSU?t=2104&si=aYDQmczF37WsF_lG

I wish YouTube would get it's shit together. The website is so huge plenty to learn (what I primarily use it for) but I don't particularly go digging.

(Though I do find Nile red and blue interesting which was someone the algorithm fed me)

[last solstice]

man I feel like if I play games instead of watching youtube im more productive

[pliant karma]

this pic gotta be framed in lmg lol

[last solstice]

if gaming is a sport activity then youtube is vape

[bold brook]

lol

you could basically argue for either one

[last solstice]

yea i know its just interesting how bad I feel after I doom scroll youtube

infinite scrolling is a curse

yet games end at some point and you know exactly what you are getting

I have like only 60 ish games so its not like I can doom scroll games

[olive stump]

I’m looking forward to the Floatplane exclusive where they try to epoxy a fucking loaf of bread 😂

[last solstice]

my freind does recommend game pass thou

[bold brook]

does anyone in here know anything about domain appraisals or if there's even any place i can find a decent not too expensive appraisal service, all the ones i have found are like flat rate and expensive and idk if it's even worth using them

certainly dont really believe the ones that are telling me my domain is worth 2500 bucks at least lol

[olive stump]

Wouldn’t recommend for anything that isn’t a simply word or 4+ letter

Domain reselling is just a shady af business in general

[bold brook]

domain in question is a dictionary word, very common

the tld is .info but idk

feel like its still prob worth a few hundred bucks

[olive stump]

.info would knock the price down quite a bit

[bold brook]

yah figured as m uch

[lethal jay]

Im watiing for the bread pin on lttstore

[olive stump]

Nothing wrong with listing the domain on a reseller with a highball price and leaving it there tbh

If you think it’s worth $500, list it for $1000 and leave it there

[lethal jay]

Im still so sad that they released the keybaord pins like a week after I ordered stuff. Shipping/taxes means I only order like once a year or so

[olive stump]

My partner saw the keyboard pins and now I’m being bugged “when next lttstore order”

[lethal jay]

I cannot blame them

[bold brook]

doubt they'd ever do it, but it would be cool to have an LTT mechanical keyboard

like a really sleek one done with a company that made it custom

[lethal jay]

Ltt keycaps I could see, at least in the colour pallette of ltt

but a full keyboard, hard to know

[sick coral]

pls yell @ me 2 go 2 shleep

[sick coral]

they say they dont enter a space unless they can improve on something
heres something to improve upon: quiet mechanical keyboards

[past egret]

discord keyboard flashbacks

[lethal jay]

Discord made a keyboard?

[past egret]

yes they did

[lethal jay]

Was it....usable?

[past egret]

yes

it was just some keycaps slapped on a OEM tkl board

there nothing to write home about

[lethal jay]

Low profile mechanical keybaords? I remember in an old laptop review Linus talking about how low profile mechanical switches could feel nice, but also allowed for faster typing speeds compared to full size switches because of the travel time

[pale osprey]

youtubes i guess i would call it cache for reccomendations is fucking tiny

not that i know of no

[pale osprey]

it doesnt take 2 seconds because i didn't know how to do it which is why i dont have the time to do it rn. if you want to talk about common courtesy instead of saying takes two seconds then say how its done

[harsh quartz]

Just take 7 Benadryl and go to bed

[full fossil]

You down with LTT? Ya you know me

[polar fern]

Caffeine? I’ve found it helps. 🤔🤷‍♂️

[full fossil]

I'll take 8 benadryl fuck you

[harsh quartz]

Take 9

[full fossil]

could take some coffee

[polar fern]

7?! Um.

[full fossil]

Don’t take that much

[polar fern]

4 per 24 hours.

[full fossil]

You can Od from Benadryl

ok fine I'll take 25

[harsh quartz]

11, take it or leave it

[full fossil]

Leave it, no one do that please please

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9JQkxu_ofE cool clear water helps

[full fossil]

i have two bottles of water

[harsh quartz]

Fine, 12, but you drive a hard bargain

[full fossil]

@harsh quartz does 15 work?

[harsh quartz]

Drink warm water, it’s better for you than cold water

[full fossil]

You’re loved

warm water is TERRIBLE

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/hot-sexy-buttered-smear-toast-gif-17929488

[full fossil]

as in the experience is terrible

[harsh quartz]

Go drink your cold water that your body can’t absorb

[full fossil]

cold water yay :33

[polar fern]

Cold makes blood vessels contract.

[harsh quartz]

The body just has to wait for the water to warm up before it can absorb it easily

[steep girder]

Me: Press rotate cw or ccw in app that calls itself Win photo 'viewer'

Microsoft: every rotate immediately write back to file

[polar fern]

And lipids solidify

[harsh quartz]

Mmmm hard fat, like butter

[full fossil]

coffee is good 2

[harsh quartz]

Black coffee or dessert coffee?

[gilded forge]

Fallout New Vegas.

[steep girder]

Well pretty much anything solidifies at some point when the temp decreases

[spice pine]

did someone mention New Vegas?

[full fossil]

i have no true preference
its just whatever passes by

[full fossil]

oh someone did??????

[harsh quartz]

Tea

https://tenor.com/view/café-gif-18098540

[vapid smelt]

didnt like that game

[spice pine]

truly a bold take

[full fossil]

tea makes me vomit when warm for some reason

[harsh quartz]

I’ve tried fallout but can’t do it

[gilded forge]

that's a sin please repent.

[harsh quartz]

Bad take

[full fossil]

NV was a banger jesus christ

[full fossil]

my body made that take involuntarily sorry

[polar fern]

Always drink room temp to warm water unless you’re trying to cool down/avoid heat stroke. Your body will thank you. ❤️

[gilded forge]

ikr then we had 4 and 76 lmaooo

[harsh quartz]

If that’s a sin then I’m in level 8 of hell

[steep girder]

Chicken grease solidifying from cold I hate tbh. You put it in it was greasy oily liquid.You take it out and all of it is at bottom of container like opqaue now...

[spice pine]

if you ever want to start a flame war, you can always just state the fact that fallout 3 was better than new vegas

[harsh quartz]

I leave water bottles in cars on 110F days and then drink it

[spice pine]

(/s i do not agree with that statement)

[full fossil]

I've never really gone far into nv but i do own it in steam and have played some
maybe i could play tomorrow

would stream here but...
no regular vc

[harsh quartz]

Best fallout is fallout shelter

[full fossil]

I'm still playing NV

[steep girder]

If you can notice a changed taste (plasticy), dont drink it

[harsh quartz]

I take my micro plastics like a man

[full fossil]

this chat..

[spice pine]

I'm so glad i'm not a man, and don't have to take microplastics

[steep girder]

Its not immediately harmful but as a practice, its good to not practice opting out of melted plastic bottle

[full fossil]

same.

[vapid smelt]

fallout 76> new vegas

[harsh quartz]

Missing out honestly

[full fossil]

bad take @vapid smelt

id rather not be a man ngl
good luck to you men out there

[steep girder]

Its not microplastics yet and far from the issue. Generally even the safer ones used to make disposable water bottle are bad for you to some extent

[harsh quartz]

Good take because iirc this is one of the first games that made people realize monetization had gone too far and companies started backing off, at least smart companies did

[steep girder]

Plastics are notoriously bad for interacting as like hormone idk. Bad.

[lethal jay]

You lot telling me you don't have a lttstore water bottle from lttstore.com? Never run into microplastics and 1-use plastic bottles again!

[full fossil]

okay this chat is on peruvian cocaine goodbye

[harsh quartz]

How dare you? I only consume the finest Colombian products

[spice pine]

as if I could afford that kind of habit

[full fossil]

okay at least you made a good take
columbian cocaine is good

[lethal jay]

Ong, I don't understand people who drink/use recreational drugs daily. My bank account could never

[polar fern]

Phenols and aromatic hydrocarbons are frequent contaminants in plastics, even if they are not used in the plastic itself. Other plastics can release these chemicals when heated.

[harsh quartz]

Just need better budgeting

[harsh quartz]

Mmmmmhot plastics yummy

[spice pine]

I have like $5k in credit card debt i'm paying off (4ish months to go), once that's out of the bag?
I'm staying sober because my mind is fragile enough without messing with it lmao

[polar fern]

Mental health and fiscal stability are both very important

[vapid smelt]

imagine being in debt

[harsh quartz]

Easily could afford 50$ a day in…vices

[polar fern]

$50 a day of chocolate sauce for chocolate milk

[harsh quartz]

Imagine not using debt as a tool to increase credit scores

[spice pine]

hard agree. It's technical debt, I make enough to pay the stuff off monthly (minus the $5000 transmission I purchased) so I'm not worried about it, but I need to get it down and under control

[steep girder]

Peruvian supposedly the best strain naturally by some metric I heard. But all 3 of the countries anything decent comes from (Colombia, Bolivia and Peru) had very 'bad' amounts in the highest sorts. The good sorts growing today are a result of human crossbreeding it

[harsh quartz]

Of course when I refer to Colombian products I am referring to coffee, as at home I only drink Colombian coffee

[lethal jay]

Only coffee I ever somewhat enjoyed was a specialty Ethiopian coffee, but not enough to justify the price

not a fan of coffee

[steep girder]

Perhaps I was referring to that Or some other plant species. We'll never know

[harsh quartz]

I wasn’t till I started being out of the house for 15 hours a day every day, learned to love coffee after that 🙂

[harsh quartz]

Ahh yes, Colombian bananas are also the finest (I don’t know if Columbia exports banananananans)

[lethal jay]

I just don't enjoy the flavour, and currently do not crave the caffeine

[spice pine]

I'm not a big coffee fan, but some tea? Love some tea.

[harsh quartz]

I didn’t like most coffee till I started drinking dessert coffee more regularly, then we got a keuring and I started trying lots of different kcup flavors, found Colombian to be the least abrasive tasting across most brands

[steep girder]

Keuring and nesspresso always the event horizon

[vapid smelt]

im happy with my 780 at 23yr

[harsh quartz]

It just makes it so easy to get a quick cup on the way out of the house

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, and to get that you had to use debt

[spice pine]

I was sitting around 750 before I maxxed out my 20mo interest free financing card to get my car's transmission replaced. Got my house and car under control though, so I care a lot less about my credit score now haha

[vapid smelt]

i always pay off my card in full at the end of the month and never took out loans

[steep girder]

I remember in office some days you see the JIT stocking guy come in with box of nespresso cartridge to refill. Fck yeah! Time for 10 consecutive cups of coffee.

3 hours in the jar is empty again till next week. Everybody either really pissed off at eachother or havin time of like. You like squeeze the gallon of sweat from jacket that became towel for the day

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, so you used short term debt to increase your credit limit, it’s almost as if that’s how the system works

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, I have a car, so my credit score has 1 purpose in the next 10 years, and I’m just building it up for when that day comes

[lethal jay]

Kinda a dumb system if you have to force yourself into debt to prove financial stability. Surely, never needing to borrow or take out loans would be proof you don't struggle financially

[vapid smelt]

im just waiting for the housing market to crash

[harsh quartz]

There’s a difference between “forcing yourself into debt” and swiping a credit card instead of your debit card and letting autopay get it

[lethal jay]

I've just accepted that im not going to be affording a house within the next 20 years

[lethal jay]

I much prefer the idea of just paying with money I have. I don't like the idea of credit cards. Dislike that if you ever really want to get a mortgage its almost a requirement to have been using one

Plus their interest rates are incredibly predatory

[vapid smelt]

1bed 1 bath house for 280k

[steep girder]

Well not exactly. Scores for visa and mastercard i dont think have minimums. At least not the ones you practically get decision made based upon. Could be wrong but each financial institution that opens you a visa or mc checks credit and decides

[spice pine]

on top of it being an outrageous price, why would you ever pay that much to live in SLC

[pale osprey]

paying 280k just to have your cars turn to dust in 5 years

[steep girder]

Limit could be one of the less dependent ones on score. They also try to gauge by monthly income and stuff.

[steep girder]

So finance a luxury or sports car retail price?

[pale osprey]

what ?

[jaunty compass]

I have a rich grandmother so I won't need to rely on credit to get a house, I'll just have to pay her back

So slightly less bad than the bank

Barely

[steep girder]

What car are you supposed to pay out total of 200+ grand for?

[lethal jay]

Cybertruck

[jaunty compass]

PS1 car

[spice pine]

I think they're referring to the fact that Salt Lake City, UT (where that home is) is notorious for the salt causing rust damage to most cars

[pale osprey]

we are talking about a house my dude

[steep girder]

Oh so like freighter truck?

[pale osprey]

salt lake city is where cars go to rust away and die

[lethal jay]

Nah, just a electric f150, Because don't americans just need a truck that big.

[polar fern]

I think if properly administered and such, coffee is a sustainable crop. It can also benefit local and regional economies with fair trade oversight.

[jaunty compass]

Sure if properly administered but it's so much easier to ruin the soil and make a ton of coffee and money in the short term

[polar fern]

As far as electric vehicles and sustainable automobile type stuff, I believe that we are still in the very beginning stages of figuring out what is going to look like some years from now

[spice pine]

I'd love to get an EV, but living in a rural area makes it a lot less practical

[polar fern]

I think that we need to work a lot more on better batteries, lowering the mass of cars so the battery is moving less, and also look into things like overhead lines for high gross weight vehicles and compressed air for lighter vehicles such as high density area deliveries.

Like I just said, one of the main issues is that our automobiles are extremely heavy

[spice pine]

40 miles each way to work every day, cars hate me

[lethal jay]

that, and getting far cheaper energy production. If everyone went electricl cars, demand would go way up, and you need some way to supply that without raising the price tenfold

[polar fern]

Most electric cars have around 140 miles of range on average given changes and capacity from use and temperature.

[steep girder]

What does sustainable even mean lol. In the sense of agriculture? You can sustain planting and harvest cycle with an equalibrium or net positive seeds from previous crops?

[pale osprey]

nevermind cheaper. the whole point of evs is they are supposedly better for the environment but then they proceed to charge them with shit like coal

[polar fern]

Well again, like I said. Lighter vehicles would take less energy to move therefore your battery pack could be smaller and it would take less energy to charge

[spice pine]

I'd love it if most of the EVs for sale in my price range didn't look like... well

that

[polar fern]

A coal power plant is far more energy efficient and clean than an automobile engine

[lethal jay]

Nuclear reactors. I mean its the only solution I can think of. Wind and solar just are not consistant enough and rely on outside factors

[steep girder]

Nothing about farming is truly sustainable rn. At some point, the ground itself can by exhausted by overfarming in one spot. The terrain sinks overtime and underground elements like Hg and sht end up on surface

[polar fern]

Plus, with a coal-fired power, plant or even natural gas or oil, you can produce steam for other users, not just to spin the turbine. Same with SMR’s.

[pale osprey]

that car isn't actually in your price range. its just so bad bmw has slashed the price to basically give them away

[spice pine]

My point still stands

anything under like $20k is butt ugly lmao

[polar fern]

what I mean by sustainable is that agriculture that respects the ecosystem is going to have less of an overall negative impact than agriculture that focuses on chemicals and monoculture planting.
