Everytime someone says they don't have anything to hide I ask them what the pin of their phone is and to give me their phone. Suddenly that's something different...

I hate how they cut off the graph...

I often hear people saying "But where does the electricity for the EV come from? Driving an EV is not better than driving a diesel."

They have to realize that the thiny ICE in your car is optimised for weight, and has an efficiency of 30-35%. So about ⅔ of the fossil fuel is turned into heat and blown out of the exhaust. Compare that to the turbine in a coal or gas plant, which can archive up to 90% efficiency.

And don't forget that an EV is an investment, which will likely still be on the road in 20 years time. The electricity mix at the moment is still rather fossil fuel heavy, but this will change completely within the next 10 years.

Edit: not 90% but 40% efficiency. See comments below

That's why open source rules

I look forward to a future where the elites stop playing monopoly against each other. Who cares if we're competitive?

What I'm hearing is that people have an inert desire for privacy, EVEN if they don't have anything to hide (what are you hiding in the toilet?) I don't see why that wouldn't extend into the digital realm....

I hate this. What if I wanna cover my face to evade facial detection? That's illegal now?

There's actually a pretty good reason why they don't do that. Media attention. Most acts of activism are ignored. Only extreme things make it into the media (sadly). Anything short of blowing up the pipeline won't get them media attention. How do I know that? "Letzte Generation", a German activist group did shut down a pipeline, but nobody bothered to report about it.

I like the idea of protecting children from algorithms that make you addicted and lead to doom-scrolling. But you don't to that by restricting the individual, but by restricting the corporations.

Die Tafel alleine braucht doch bestimmt schon mehr als 1000W....

If your goal is to stay anonymous then you're right. But I think Tor-ussage should be normalized, even if you're not actively trying to hide your identity.

I'm not sure how you arrived at this conclusion but the math is wrong. Did you just multiply 200 pounds by 5 feet and arrived at 1000 footpound? Your units don't work at all. A weight under a certain acceleration falling for a specific distance has a certain amount of kinetic energy (E=mgh). Energy =/= Torque.

Ha lustig.

Die ganzen Diskussionen ums Klima haben komischerweise gleichzeitig mit den Protesten der LG angefangen. FFF wurde wegignoriert und ist jetzt nicht mehr relevant. Und das obwohl deutlich mehr Leute dafür waren/mitgemacht haben.

NIEMAND der für Klimaschutz ist, wird sich wegen der LG auf einmal gegen Klimaschutz wenden. Nur Leute denen das Klima eh schon egal sind wenden sich gegen die LG.

100% right (I live in Munich) If you want the Oktoberfest experience without the obnoxious tourists, I recommend visiting the "Frühlingsfest". It's basically the same thing in the same place, but in Spring

Das würde noch mehr Schlagzeilen machen

Eben nicht... Die LG hat schon echt viele Protestmethoden ausprobiert, von dem oft vorgeschlagenem "klebt euch doch bei den Politikern Zuhause fest" bis zu Hungerstreiks. Das wird aber von den Medien und der Bevölkerung einfach ignoriert. Das Stören des Alltags funktioniert einfach am Besten, und das hat zb schon auch Martin Luther King bewiesen.

Full disclaimer: I maybe read 10% of your comment.

Why is the government (all governments really) hiding it from us?

Why don't the aliens want to be seen? And why do we still observe them sometimes? Given their far far superior tech it shouldn't be hard for them to avoid being detected.

You're not completely wrong. But (1) guns make it sooo much easier to cause a lot of harm, and (2) a gun gives you so much more confidence than a knife. Also: you can run from a knife, you can't run from a gun

Least stupid car brain

It's not. There's a perforated metal tube inside of the pressure vessel, into which the monitor is screwed.

Both are in the arms business. They make money from war.
