Yeah, lithium ion batteries are a real danger.

People are saying yes, but that seems bonkers to me. I've done some extensive repairs for the last two cars I've owned (a Honda and a Toyota), as well as for my mom's Volvo, and I've certainly never encountered adhesives to attach any parts. In my experience it's always hex bolts or plastic clips. I'll admit I don't love those plastic clips, they probably break 1/4 of the time when you remove them, but they seem perfectly reliable when they're in.

But hey, like I said, I haven't been servicing any American cars, so who knows, maybe it's used all the time. Maybe yesterday's bad ideas are today's tried and true best practices.

What. The. Fuck...

Are we taking lessons from Samsung now? I mean are they serious? Adhesive for car parts?!

Well gee, as long as car exteriors don't experience extreme heating/cooling cycles on a daily basis, then adhesive should work just fine. Oh wait.

It's like they wanted this vehicle to fail.

Does jellyfin do any kind of library sharing? Because that's the killer feature that Plex has for me.

I have three friends who have Plex servers and between the four of us, I think we have all the content anyone could want.

Also lacking a soul is a more flowery, poetic way of saying that they seem unable to have kind of compassion or joy and they treat situations as mathematic

Ok, that word you're looking for is "empathy", but soul is definitely the wrong one. The words you use to describe people matter a lot, I'm not being pedantic.

Like, I’m glad you’re looking out but I think you’re missing the nuance here.

You think I'm missing the nuisance? Funny. Ironically, I think the language you're using just lacks empathy.

Absolutely! I mean you're acknowledging that they're people, and people have conflicts all the time, this is normal. Feel free to have all the opinions about that you want.

But saying that as a group, they all lack basic intelligence or a soul, that's not helpful to discourse, and that's really my only point.

I accused you of dehumanizing people and you respond with...

It’s not a binary

What does that even mean in this context? Are you saying they're like part people?

For the record you said earlier that they lacked intelligence and a soul, which is pretty literally dehumanizing, that's what I was responding to. Look, I'm not trying to shame you here, I get where you're coming from. I'm trying to remind you that you're being taken advantage of. That foreign and corporate powers are actively trying to influence public discourse and divisiveness is their most powerful tool, they're pitting us against each other for their own gain.

So don't fall for it! Don't take the bait! As soon as you start treating the other side like they don't even matter, like they're some different species who aren't smart enough to think for themselves, then you're giving up the game, we lose.

And you're right about one part for sure though, conservatives are lacking in communication skills, unfortunately, so are liberals; that's just a human problem. (And on that note, maybe some day I'll learn how to communicate all this in one sentence rather than having to write several paragraphs every time.)

I can't even begin to unpack the implications.

You've probably finished unpacking them...

Things will fall from the sky, mostly stainless steel, some carbon fiber, some ceramic tile. They could be falling in a bunch of different places, even populated ones (Though most will fall in the ocean). Most of the volatiles (propellant, pressurizing gases, hydraulic fluid, etc) have already escaped, so not much of that is coming down. It's highly unlikely that debris will hurt anybody, but it is possible.

Some nations will be justifiably mad and there's a remote chance someone gets hurt. But that's about the end of the implications.

I understand that, it can't be. Because fusion power generation hasn't all been worked out yet. Unlike fission. That's my point.

Also, once fusion does work, it will still be the most expensive way to generate energy man has ever devised, so there's that too.

Well, the first ones didn't fly at all, they usually just killed the inventor.

That's basically where we are today with fusion, they don't work at all yet. Luckily it's not killing people.

Well, really it's the opposite, nuclear works already. So why not just build nuclear plants at 1/20 the cost? (and actually get some net positive energy)

Just saying...
