It's pretty clear that my low mileage ICE vehicle has lower lifetime emissions than an equivalent EV.

I specifically bought ICE for low annual mileage, long trips. EV is completely unsuitable, and would be more expensive, and more polluting.

I think the more appropriate study is that for many cases the EV is less CO2 emitting.
Not all cases, and they didn't consider pollution.

I do hold that for most people, and for my primary car, in my location an EV is a better choice.
But for some use cases they just don't make sense (and may never make sense)

Comment Underdosing. (Score 1) 108

The summary actually points out 45% of men ant 65% of women don't meet the RDA for protein.

I decided to track and realized I was eating too many calories and not enough protein. I'm targeting about 1g/lb.
I'm slightly under my daily calorie target, and find the protein highly satiating.

Big change was massive cuts to carbs, which means it's a bit heavier on fat relatively speaking.
4 cups of rice or mashed potato just doesn't fit in a lot of diets.

Wind and solar are. 10x cheaper?
In what universe.

I understand that they think its a crisis, and there should be no hesitation, and we should do whatever it takes no matter the cost.

But they simply not being honest.
They are also not listening to legitimate concerns or criticism.

I don't trust the. Climate extremists. It's a cult.

The real question is what are they trying to do.

Man pages are for someone who wants to type commands, most people don't want to type commands and be "computer geeks".

I'd consider
1. Try to install windows

If you install Linux, you're their personal tech support forever.
I'd go with any debian based distribution with the default desktop environment.

I've been using Linux a long time, and I still don't think it's an end user OS for people who don't care what the OS is.
I've even switched, my servers and development is on Linux, my actual daily OS is Windows.

WSL2 has made this very convenient, hopefully they fix ipv6 soon.
