I was heavily on your side untill the comma, man. Margherita is delicious and the ultimate test of the chef as there is nowhere to hide mistakes.

Does it qualify if I add basil after the cook?

I agree. I think there is a reason we have the saying: Never meet your heroes.

Anyone I pick would in my mind have been built up to some impossible to live up to standard that they could never meet, so picking someone passionate about something I like seems like the better move.

Probably Linus Torvalds

Did the west ignore russias offer to completely withdraw from Ukraine so they could once again live in peace?
I must have missed that.

Or are you just a russian shill thinking we should reward them for invading, raping, torturing and murdering thousands of people? Surely not, as that would be quite stupid…

How does the US being full of propaganda change the fact that China has a lot of censorship?

Both can be true at the same time, you know…

Yeah I think so too.
People have always talked about a long weekend in New York or a cruise from Miami.
Now it’s just dead. No mention of the US at all, other than the blithering baboon.

Would not want to be a trans atlantic airliner this sunmer

I’d say no. Regardless of it being stolen or not, the amount of damage done with no (read: few?) checks and balances does not present the US as a democracy at all.

It should have been impossible, but he and his team have found and abused every single legal loophole there is and it does not seem like the majority of politicians are interested in fixing them.

It’s not trust inspiring when one person can write a presedential order overuling a literal constitunional amendment.

I don’t hate Americans. Most are great people, but I do hate their rotten to the core political system.

You keep doing you. I found the joke funny.

If we’re all too afraid of downvotes to post our true opinions, Lemmy will turn into another echochamber.

As a Norwegian, it hurts to say this but Hilleberg also make excellent tents.

Pricey buy you buy once and cry once.

Never played the game and probably never will, but I wanted to say this anyways: stay awesome!

It’s people like you, who do stuff out of passion and not monetary gain, that made the internet so great.

I try to stay out of American politics because I get that my views are probably skewed being in Europe, but I do see his approval ratings close to and sometimes above 50% on certain areas.

Without telling you what to do about it, I must admit it scares me to think that there are millions of people agreeing with what he’s doing. It feels like the US is a preassure cooker only just getting started, slowly inching towards a disastrous explosion.

What are the realistic potential outcomes of everything going on?

I really appreciate that you took the time to take a photo to show us your iron. It’s nice to get the more personal touch as I keep forgetting we are real people talking together.

It looks like an old clenodium. I’m sure it has seen its fair share of work. Thanks for sharing!

Sure, a Weller station will probably last a lifetime even with serious usage, but I do maybe…. 20 total solder joint per year, so I couldn’t justify the price.

I do agree that it’s better at what it’s supposed to do though

I just got one, and it’s so practical with a PD battery bank. Can now solder inside or outside on my car/bike with zero hazzle

Danish. Norwegian would be “boikott varer fra USA”

You heard right

Serious question: wouldn’t the MAGA/Republicans just pick up arms in return?
It feels like the divide in the US is so massive right now that you can’t agree on anything at all. No offence intended…

Close.

Every NOK over 500k is now with VAT. They changed it last year.

The selection under 500k is still quite good, so I’m not gonna pretend the deal is horrible, and you only pay on the amount over, so a 600k car is still artificially cheap compared to most places.

This is true, but the batteries do not suffer any harm by being used when cold, just charging which we by now agree is not an issue as long as the car heats them up first.

They also expell heat by being used, so they are nice and toasty for when you reach you destination and can plug in.

The misinformation is that they don’t work well in the cold. Truth be told, they are fantastic in the cold. I’d argue better than ICE. That’s a different topic for a different day though.

You are, rightfully so, claiming batteries don’t like cold temperatures. What you fail to add are the mitigations companies make to solve these issues. That feels disingenous, unless you just didn’t know.

If your phone had the capacity and function to heat itself up during outdoor use, it would also work brilliantly.

So while I’m sure the scientific papers are great, without having read them, I’d guess they don’t include the whole picture either as if they would, we’d be in agreement.

I tried finding where I called you any names and failed, but if you felt attacked then I appoligize for that. I have nothing against you or think you deserve that. We are just disagreeing on this one topic.

Have a good night!

Which is why they are heated before being charged, either by the on-board heater if it’s been parked, or naturally by just driving the damn thing.

You said EVs don’t work well in the cold. That is a demonstrably false statement by the fact that Norway has over 500 000 of them rolling around all year. You can post as many misinformed links supporting it as you wish. If it had any merit, we would not be at 90%+ adoption rating.

Either you are the biggest genious in the world and we are half a million morons, or you are just wrong.
The fact that I drive mine in weather spanning from -30 C to +25 C makes me suspect the latter.

Have a good one, mate.
