Stupid people are normally conservative, not all consertives are stupid of course, some are grifters :)
"I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. - John Stuart Mill
How is she stupid, see 3
These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:
-
Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
-
The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
-
A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
-
Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
-
A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

hanrahan@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Looking to change to a Linux-based OS on a laptop, but I don't really understand coding so I haven't tried any of them. Is LinuxMint a good place to start?English4·12 days agoI use Mint (LMDE) on my laptop amd desktop. Dual booting is an issie if you use Windows and have the installs on the same drive. I went Mint only. (18onths now)
No issies with the isntall, there will be some apps you can’t use, I ditched them amd changed to other apps but thats an issue with shitty vendors not with Linux itself
I use the command line very occasionally, 95% of everything can be done with the GUI
Mint’s a good a place as any to start. Has a good support forum if you have hiccups. Understand this is new for you, so you’ll need some effort.

hanrahan@piefed.socialto Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Massachusetts is testing bidirectional chargers that turn parked EVs into backup energy sources.English4·15 days agoDoubt this would be used by anyone unless there is some incentive (money) when your car charges back into the grid
That’s supposed to be the point, you get acceas tosuper cheap solar.say through the day to charge up and they take a percentage of your battery back.through the night and pay you to help balance the load, thats V2G. You also have V2H that allows your car to run your house in case of power outages, V2H
Here.in Australia through the day we often have so much solar being generated that they can’t use it all,.so enough ecars with V2G and this solves the issue.
This also seems like you are just letting your car battery health deplete faster?
For sure but car batteries are massive and this is only a part cycle, it has minimal impact.
Also i can’t post anything about EVs without saying WOW so much money invested in what is still a car.
Yes, they really arent part of any solution.
Timely reminder that to take the poly crisis of Climate Change, Pollution, resource depletion etc serisouly we MUST move away from all cars, including Ecars.
Even the IPCC states this and we still keep ignoring them. I see even Norway is starting to move away from ecars.
but also makes clear that simply replacing gasoline with batteries won’t be enough: cities must also dramatically curtail the use of automobiles and avoid “locking in” future emissions with more car-dependent infrastructure.
