I've done the same thing, I get it!

Also sounds (alas, all too commonly) that people don't know what "fascism" is, or what "left" vs "right" wing means, like the idiot GP.

Quick piece of advice, click the "parent" link if you want to know what someone is replying to.

A better question is what does it say to your thought process that you deny something is a problem because one or two people, but not the people who are actually qualified to talk on the issue and are saying it's a problem, are claiming the world is going to end in a year?

And why don't you apply that across the board. The same people who deny global warming seem also to be overly happy to denounce any attempt to have the government improve conditions for people on the basis that it's "socialism", despite most (usually all) European democracies having all the benefits that are being asked for, yet not a single one is a dictatorship. Clearly there are nutcases on that side, but nonetheless the "Oh AGW people are alarmists" people still somehow believe that the moment the US has a functional healthcare system available to all the government will turn into sOvIeT rUsSiA.

The scientists have, so far, made predictions that, if anything, have been too conservative and in reality GW has progressed far faster than the median prediction. Those are then facts. No other claims matter.

The UN is the one entity on Earth that provides an organizational framework for all of the world's governments. It has no powers to speak of, but it is a central meeting point. Nobody's expecting it to "guard goats", they're just expecting it to provide a forum.

You don't live in America? I could have sworn you did.

FWIW, in the US, which is probably the country that uses gasoline highest per-capita, the circuit panel is usually right in the garage. Not merely "next to". And there's usually already a 220V outlet there because home owners typically have the washer-dryer in the garage - even if they don't and have a separate laundry room, the garage usually has a 220V outlet.

You are aware of this concept called charging stations right? You know how your car can't make a 3 hour journey without being refueled? So they have these things called "gas stations" where you can refill your fuel tank? Well, it's the same for EVs. You can drive for 150 miles (approx 2-3 hours), stop at an EV charging spot, and then continue.

The beauty of EVs is that you don't usually need to. Most people can just plug it in at home overnight for 99% of the journeys they make. They only need the charging spots for those once-in-a-blue-moon traveling 1,000 miles towing a snowmobile situations. Whereas gas users are having to use recharge points (that is, gas stations) literally every 100-200 miles of driving.

Exactly. People have been driving cars for 25,000 years now. That's the natural order of things, huge roads, massive gaps between homes and the businesses that serve them, and unsafe forms of transportation to take them from one place to another. That's why governments across America refuse to legalize medium mixed-use density development, because merely legalizing something is the same as forcing people to use it. Look at Europe, where everyone is so upset they can't drive like the natural order of things, and have to walk or let the bus or train take them to places. It wasn't like that before global warming! 40 years ago Europe was just strip malls and HOA-controlled suburban developments. But then the liberals came in and forced everyone to live in walkable communities and have access to buses.

Madness!

Ah the nuclear shills have woken up today. Welcome to the day you get to push an agenda by making absurd generalizations about your opponents while ignoring the fact that your tech isn't actually the only fossil fuel alternative out there, and which, when done incorrectly, can cause major disasters rendering entire regions uninhabitable, something not true of, say, wind or solar (though, interestingly, reverse-true of hydro, in that when done correctly it renders entire regions uninhabitable. But at least you get notice! ;-)).

Keep fucking that pigeon though!

No, it's not. Trump is merely the latest, and honestly probably has no fucking idea either way. Predominately Republican establishments have done all they can to thwart any attempts to fund alternatives to high oil usage. The last time we even saw anything vaguely approach anti-AGW legislation was under a Democratic Congress, and was... cash for clunkers (and the contemporaneous pro-EV "Make Musk Rich" subsidies. Yeah. That. Even allowing people as individuals to choose to live less oil dependent lifestyles, by legalizing medium density zoning and building things like bike lanes, have seen stiff opposition from the RWNJs. This isn't new. It isn't something Trump or even the Tea Party introduced. It's been going on for 40-50 years now.

And ultimately, people voted for the Republicans knowing this was what they'd do. Half of them are on Slashdot right now. They'll invent lies from "AGW is a ridiculous liberal myth because all the scientists are in the pay of Big Not Oil" to "Allowing people to live in walkable neighborhoods and have access to public transportation is the same as banning cars and is what Hitler, who was so anti-car he created Volkswagen, did."

This wasn't done by any one person. Half the country pushed for it. They want to wreck the world. The only link to Trump is that you can clearly see people as nihilist as the anti-Earthers are, of course, going to push for the most extreme nihilists to get into power.

They literally released the update yesterday you smug pinhead.

If you aren't running updates every hour, you probably don't have it. Hell, if you don't have a distribution with the latest version yet, you don't have it.

> Second, it is absolutely insulting to judge someone solely by their degree after 25 years of professional experience in the field of tech reporting for the general populace

Oh, it's not just the degree he's judging the journalist on, it's also that she's a woman. Because everyone knows in "We use DEI as a pejorative despite not knowing what it means" lala conservative land women don't know things like us smart men do.

What a fucking tool the GP is. Not as bad, I suppose, as the guy who posted an anti-Semitic slur in the AirBNB article, but still pretty bad.

Is the selling point of AirBNB that it's cheaper than a hotel, or that it's more friendly to, say, families (which Hotels are usually hostile to - literally the only hotels I've ever been to that were almost close to family friendly were at Legoland.)

I've never seen an AirBNB ad boast AirBNBs are cheaper. It's always focused on convenience and availability of more than "1 king/2 queens + bathroom" type cookie cutter hotel rooms.

And, honestly, landlords have needed to be reined in for a long time in terms of adding absurd conditions, often not visible until after you've agreed to rent the place. Absentee landlords are common, and a place that's reliant upon guests to do the cleaning is going to be a shithole on a regular basis when one guest follows another with lower standards. It literally cannot work if you rely upon guests to do the cleaning.

Welp. Slashdot is... Slashdot I guess. Sometimes I hate this site.
