There was a long time of that happening and everyone being blisfully unaware. That's the period that feels like the golden age to me because we were getting all these new cool and free services not fully realizing what we are paying.

Tried this recently and I hate it. It makes a racket and no matter how careful you are with it it stinks. Plus the constant extra work of filling it up. I'm selling it off and getting a heat pump. Should have done that from the start tbh.
Question still remains, how do 4 different countries lose power at once. Sounds like an insane fuck-up.
Same man, it's been a dream since installing this.
I'd say Sarah doesn't know much about cats or is just lazy.
Cats love toys, but it needs to be engaging. They love their pray to feel alive, to move, to hide. A crumpled up piece of paper on a string tied to a stick works wonders. That means the owner needs to participate, but most don't. Also cats are crepuscular so for maximum success keep play limited the evening or morning. You might be surprised how much of a hunter your cat actually is.
Would be amazing. At the moment I don't know of a single brand opening up batteries to fix them. They all consider them a single replaceable component/module even though inside that's far from the case.
...if nothing goes wrong with anything in the system.
Don't get me wrong, I like EVs but there is always a risk that a single cell in the pack dies or a transistor on a BMS explodes and no one want to have anything to do with it. They will sell you a full pack which is usually so expensive it totals the car. This is a pretty shitty risk dangling over second hand vehicles especially.
This being unsustainable has been a discussion point for years at this point and yet they keep on fighting while it feels like western society is slowly collapsing.
I think calling it fear mongering against EVs is right in the sense that it's not exclusive to EVs. All cars have cameras, microphones and sensors these days and are connected, so legislation should deal with that properly.
I don't understand the downvotes you got. The same people will complain when a profit driven reddit alternative springs up to take the mainstream while Lemmy remains niche because they wanted a kind of exclusive club. Being unfriendly to the user is a recipe for failure.
On the flip side, the biggest forum on the internet being shared, distributed and owned by its' users would be an incredible win.
And what do you think that is? So far I blame algorithmic/targeted social media that leads to echo chambers and lowering living standards because of rising cost of living and prices without salaries keeping up.
But I'm also getting the impression that no one that can actually do anything about it is aware or cares enough to act so we are fucked either way.
