13·14 hours agoAren’t EVs mostly a thing to save the car industry, and not really in the end all that good for the environment?
No that’s ICE talking points.
There’s obviously no comparison to be made with public transit, public transit kicks the ass of everything else in environmental friendliness. But it isn’t and won’t be an option in many cities and countries, so cars are here to stay for the medium future at least.
Given that we acknowledge the need for cars, what about the higher environmental impact of manufacturing them? Research shows that based on the cleanliness of the power sources the grid is using, it takes an average of 6 - 24 months for an EV to break even and start overtaking an ICE vehicle in (reduced) emissions. That’s not a long time in a car’s lifetime, and that’s not yet accounting for future economies of scale such as battery recycling that we don’t yet implement.
6·14 hours agoThe WLTP is pretty accurate to the actual range I get on my BYD.

Pretty common practice in places that are humid or close to the equator.

I did! Most of the arguments against basically boil down to ‘make it harder for the average user to do this’. In addition to the unequal access to information, sites like lemvote demonstrate how easy it will be for the average user to bypass the imaginary technical barrier. Sure, you may block it now, but as the Threadiverse grows so will the number of sites and such that do so. Even a browser extension ala RES. Even without the whack-a-mole issue, it’s only a matter of time before somebody sets up such an utility for public access with an obfuscated instance that can’t be easily blocked.
Security via obscurity🙄
Google is not the arbiter of knowledge, but the combined search engines are certainly a decent indexer of it. To claim something is ‘common knowledge’ when we’re unable to find a hint of it anywhere online, and is based solely on something you read a couple decades ago, is pretty ridiculous.
Honestly if it was something you read 20 years ago and there’s nothing about it to be found today, there’s a chance it was nothing but racist nonsense. (Not saying you’re racist or anything, just that the source might have been and you got taken in).
Do you have a link I can read? I’m referring specifically to the part about centuries of built up excrement.
Is that actually a thing? I can find results on Google about their crappy sewage system being overwhelmed, but nothing like what you’re mentioning.
Cmon, except for Moe, we generally sympathise with whoever Calvin is interacting with.

Yes, but the ruling stated that they violated defamation rules, which implies defamation did happen.
The question I was asking is, how is it defamation if it’s true. You seem to have wandered off onto a tangent of what constitutes ethical / civilised advertising.
one can easily see what happens when it is allowed to talk about your enemies instead of what you provide. Just look at the logical end of this in form of the attack ads of the US political campaigns.
More countries than not allow comparative advertising, and the world is not ending. Why use politics as an inaccurate example when the majority of countries actually practice it to some extent?
The question was how is it defamation, you’re giving a non-answer that’s nothing more than a blatant appeal to authority.
Self driving is absolutely a thing. FULL self driving like what Tesla tries to bullshit about is a way off.
