  • Interesting that there’s a comment posted an hour before yours that says the same exact thing, but it’s upvoted, but yours is downvoted. Would be interesting to see conservative VS liberal leanings on Lemmy by time of day.

    By the way, I completely agree with you. These stats have nothing to do with lgbtq community and everything to do with business looking out for its interests.

    For example all 3 cellphone providers available in US are on the list. Most likely the only reason donations vary is because they are either based in or focusing their business in different states. What are you going to do? Switch to using ham radio?





  • We already transport electricity and then it is just wasted because we don’t need that much of it during peak green energy generation. You would use this otherwise wasted energy and store it in hydrogen.

    You have no real argument here so you’re bringing in useless semantics. We’re already transporting and storing hydrogen in liquid form without any issues.

    You have to realize just how idiotic the idea of a battery trailer is. Current, garbage batteries barely able to achieve 250 mi of range are 25% of car’s weight.

    It doesn’t matter how inefficient hydrogen is to produce because we’d be using energy that is currently just wasted.



  • Water is non issue since it doesn’t have to be too close to generators. We kinda figured out how to transfer electricity where we need it.

    Transporting it is a small issue but we’re already transporting a lot of liquid gasses and other flammable stuff like gasoline.

    If nothing else it could be used by millions of semis for which current battery tech is absolutely fucking useless and likely will remain that way for decades.

    But really if we didn’t jump on completely wrong tech years ago and just switched to hydrogen instead of batteries, we would have cars with zero emissions, zero range issues and zero charging problems a decade ago.











  • What’s so special about 0 - 100? 40° of civilized units sucks, but is still perfectly survivable and is becoming more and more common in some parts of the world. That’s 104° of fucked up units.

    Negatives up to -30° are also common around the world and I frequently went out in shorts and t-shirt in -10° for a short time to grab mail or take out trash.

    The only sort of reasonable justification for F units I’ve ever heard was that there’s less of a change between whole degrees, but decimals are not exactly hard to figure out imnho.
