I follow you, until the last part.

"Men don't matter", "women don't matter" - those statements often seem to imply that the other gender is dominant and treats the other as disposable. This is not true - both men and women heavily suffer from bias, discrimination, and abuse - both in their own ways.

Traditional expectations hurt everybody, men and women, and should be thrown out the window. This includes a traditional concept that men are always perpetrators but not victims of abuse, among other things - something that is still commonly ignored, sometimes out of genuine ignorance, sometimes in bad faith.

This is only natural because the post features a picture of a woman holding a highly misandric and hugely misleading sign.

Besides, it's one of the rare venues to talk of what's important. And when there actually are rare posts or comments regarding abuse of men, many women flock in as well to tell about women rights.

As a non-rapist, I'm sick of constantly being seen as a high-risk individual just for having a penis despite dedicating a lot of attention to consent and being generally a highly empathetic person.

People who know me well trust me and see me as a very safe and gentle person - but in the outside world, I'm equated with rapists around a random trait.

The share may differ - I'm not aware of it being equal and you bring up interesting stats right there - but regardless, men can absolutely be victims of all kinds of abuse, and we have to treat it seriously.

Yes, men forced to do what they don't like or coerced to have sex is rape, and same for women.

Isn't this hate somewhat misplaced, still? Like, AI under capitalism might hurt you, but the problem is not AI.

Instead of working on core issue, many people try to ban every symptom, and it might be a very simple distraction tool.

Proud owner of 1TB Samsung 860 Evo.

Pretty much yes, it counts :D

Moreover, iirc, there are 64TB 2,5" SSDs and 100TB 3,5" available for enterprise users, and 8TB M.2 SSDs on consumer market. Space is really not a constraint.

Why is 3.5" preferable? You can always use a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter, and even 2.5" casing is mostly empty anyway

SSDs can reliably hold charge states for years, and there are storage media that are more reliable than HDD.

HDD's would still find a niche, probably, as a balanced option, but said niche will likely get smaller and smaller over many years.

Let's just start with the fact that American political system is super skewed to begin with and no actual left has any power.

Dems are highly pro-capitalist, moderately nationalist and merely call to strike a bit less horrible balance between the interests of people and businesses. This is not left, this is a bit better right.

This fallacy keeps people trapped in an idea that the only possible options are "good" ultra-capitalism and "greedy" ultra-capitalism, which is not true.

People that try to have "both sides heard" totally ignore that there are way more than two angles in this conversation and that Dems are not some sort of a political extreme. Reps, ironically, kinda are.

And Democrats often think they vote for something actually good, when it's actually just a lesser evil. Keep that in mind, no matter what you decide.

This might not be the case anymore, now that solar is dirt cheap.

But, as another commenter said, I'm onboard with any decision that scientists (including both energy and climate sciences) and engineers come up with working together.

[–] Allero 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Solar panels are very cheap, and any modification, even just a moving cover, greatly ramps up prices. No, really.

We just need a lot of panels to generate significant amounts of electricity, which would necessitate a large cover or a lot of mechanisms - which would get expensive on that scale.

As pointed out already, acceleration here is massive, as collision takes split seconds.

A more useful formula is: F=m*∆V^2 /2, where F is the force, m is mass, ∆V is speed difference (essentially your entire speed if you're gonna hit the wall, and that's very likely).

Notice that speed in this formula is squared, so doubling the speed results in four times the impact.

22% higher speed leads to 50% higher impact.

41% higher speed doubles the impact energy.

Etc. etc.

Also, mass of your car, even though it's not squared, impacts the result greatly. Twice as heavy car will exert twice the energy at the same speed.
