Vanilla bean is one. A lot of the people who produce it don’t really understand why we want it.

They pulled it. Google didn’t.

I wish communities would start banning that bot. It’s summaries are mostly awful, typically missing critical details in an article to the point of completely altering itsintent.

This example is particularly egregious though, I think it had a stroke.

He’s actually right about this one despite the down votes. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are electric vehicles that use elective motors not engines so there are no oil changes.

The difference is that a fuel cell vehicle captures electrons during the reaction that takes place when hydrogen is exposed to oxygen (they bond to from H2O) rather than storing energy in batteries.

So battery electric vehicles store their energy in a battery while fuel cell electric vehicles store it in the form of hydrogen but ultimately electricity is was powers both of them.

I don’t know what provoked the OP’s comment. I just wanted to add context because I personally made a lot of bad assumptions from it before reading the article.

Also I don’t know that your statement is accurate and global warming is never brought up in the article.

They don’t know why the ozone hole is big this year but they suspect it may be related to a volcanic eruption. Article concludes that scientists expect the ozone layer to be back to normal by 2050.

The suggestion is that this is an unusual year for the ozone layer which sees the hole expand this time every year before retracting again by December. They never suggest human behavior is damaging it again.

What? I never said I was trolling. I said I was offering a different perspective.

It’s so bizarre how people are attacking me for that. You would think I said something awful.

I did enjoy the reaction that my original comment got but only because the comment wasn’t intended to stir up controversy or invoke a strong reaction but clearly has.

I was contributing to a conversation with a comment that I feel was quite harmless. I didn’t know free speech absolutism was such a feather rustling topic.

What’s sad is you being mean to a person for simply making a comment on a social media platform.

No I don’t personally believe in absolute free speech I was just trying to offer perspective in response to a comment that was rejecting the concept outright.

I do enjoy the rise it got out of this audience though.

The concept of absolute freedom of speech is based on lessons learned in history and even the present. As soon as you start limiting speech you have to draw a line and nobody can agree on where that line should be. The real issue however, is that it’s ultimately government that decides.

A government that can limit few speech gets to decide what acceptable speech is and that’s a dangerous power in the hands of the wrong people.

There’s definitely consequences to unhinderred free speech but I think history shows us that the alternative is worse.

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out that’s for sure. Every time I drive by a rest stop on the highway I imagine what the gas lines would look like if those people were instead lining up to spend 20+ minutes minimum at a charging station.

Even if you put a charger in every parking space it would likely be a problem. Those lots fill up as it is and I can’t even fathom the electrical feeds required for that.

I think the people saying “oh it’s just electricity we already have that” are a bit dilusional. It’s going to require enormous investment into infrastructure and even then it may not be feasible.

I think it’s one of those things that seems great when only a handful of people are doing it but will become a nightmare as more EVs end up on the road.

Its great for those who have a dedicated place to park their car, can charge at home and only commute a short distance back and forth to work but it falls short for many.

The XLE does 410 miles. Few electric vehicle can touch that and EV ranges decline over time so almost no EV that’s more than a couple years old could match it.

Where does all of the anti hydrogen rhetoric come from? Hydrogen has its issues for sure but so does electric. Hydrogen has advantages to electric, namely range and refueling time, which may make it a better choice, at least for certain applications.

What’s so horrible about Toyota investing in it? At least someone is giving it a shot and they actually have a production automobile that uses it.

Here we are going all in on electric with a grid that can’t support it, charging times that are too slow, driving range that’s too low and housing that can’t accommodate it but hydrogen is somehow a crazy idea?

They’re the same drug…

They’re taking a whack-a-mole approach for sure but it’s either that or shut the whole instance down. I imagine their hope is that either the bad guys give up/lose interest or that it buys them some time.

Either way, it shows they are taking action which ultimately should help limit their liability.

This bot is terrible and I wish it would be banned. It’s basically just randomly selects snippets and it leaves out very important details.

The actual article says that the concentrations are very low and they don’t even know if the manufacturer is intentionally putting them there or if they’re finding their way in from other sources during manufacture. Also says the bamboo straws may have been grown in soil containing PFAS.

They even found PFAS on most of the glass straws.

It’s concerning sure but the levels are so low that straws are the least of our concern when it comes to PFAS exposure.

If you think it might help I’ve got a bit of a hack I’ve used in the past to cache a sql database in a compressed ramdisk using zram and bcache. Imagine stuffing a 50G DB into 20G of memory.

It won’t fix the inefficient SQL queries but it would make it so frequently accessed tables get cached in a ram disk cutting query time significantly.

This might be enough to reduce the impact of these attacks until queries can be optimized.

This assumes your database isn’t running on something like RDS though.

This made me laugh. Configuration management systems like ansible, chef, salt, and puppet only exist because people wanted to manage a large numbers of systems and keep them consistent and replaceable, i.e treat them like cattle instead of pets. They were born out of the pets vs cattle analogy.

I realize containerization has taken that a step further but it’s funny to hear someone talk about these tools like they’re something archaic.

You are a bad person

Clearly my post did not come across the right way. I was just trying to offer encouragement, not belittle you.
