Busses here have better accessibility than cars.
There are people who need more aid than the busses are equipped for and the bus line runs specially equipped shuttles out to them on request at no cost (back when the busses had fares it cost the same as a bus ride).
Ty I’ve spelled his name probably every wrong way in the past.
When systemd first showed up there wasn’t much parallelized init systems. People managing complex systems with many services may find the tools of systemd make their lives easier. Of course, nowadays all that complex multi service machine stuff is containerized and none of those containers run systemd 🤔
If I were gonna psychologize it, poettering and kay typify what the Linux user of the 0s felt when they actually looked at what windows of the time had going on under the hood. “Look at you, tla username, pathetic creature of twenty text files under a trench coat!”
The problem with that sentiment is that there’s an honesty to recognizing and accepting that you’re not too far removed from the z80 and it keeps you from believing all this computer stuff is more than it’s cracked up to be.
No one who’s happy with python also keeps a loaded gun next to the server for when it acts up and that’s the problem.
I’m not sure. I want to look it up and see what was said to them so I asked about the two threads they were commenting in most recently that it could be.
If you wanna understand why it’s a bad idea to compare Nazis and communists that way, answer the following succinctly and quickly:
Why is it bad to lump with Nazis?
that's from 2015 and relies on some assumptions that im sure were reasonable back then but would raise eyebrows now.
we don't need to extrapolate the amount of lithium in a tesla battery anymore, it's 60 or so kilograms, not the 10 the article uses for its calculation.
i like reserves a heck of a lot better than resources for this calculation, but even using resources i come up with a disconcerting 4.4kg lithium available for each persons ev battery. not nearly enough.
my own source here says typical EV batteries have only 8kg lithium in them (see the spoiler for the flaw in their use of a particular nature article that definitely wasn't making its calculation to represent an ideal universal median ev), but even then there's not enough to give everyone an ev.
but wait, it gets worse! we use lithium in a bunch of other stuff, and even if everyone on earth could get by with half a battery and didn't need to haul a load, go offroad or anything that would require a bigger battery, they'd still want lithium batteries in their phones, tablets, computers, power tools, flashlights, vapes, game controllers, standard size rechargeables of all kinds and you know, all the stuff we use lithium for that isn't storing charge (and there's a lot!).
it's not all the way worse yet! resources is great if we're trying to maximize for evs, but awful if we're trying to save the planet in any way. who out here is trying to frack (in terms of extracting a "tight" resource, not the process itself) more?
if we use the more conservative reserves figure it gets positively grim: just one and a half kilos of lithium for each person on earth! so if we don't wanna tear up every scrap of the planet to make batteries only a little over the current number of cars on earth (1.474B) could be accommodated and even then that's using the "typical" mass of lithium in each vehicle!
hold on, i can make it grimmer: producing enough evs for everyone on earth would need 6.6 billion more rolling chassis to put all those batteries in. so four times the productive capacity for cars that we have now. that's not gonna be easy on the environment!
so id say we can't put every person on earth in an ev. if we're getting out of this its gonna be with reduced consumption, not an increase!
the math!
- 39.5Mt World Lithium Resources
- 13.5Mt World Lithium Reserves
- 60 Kg (138lb) lithium in a tesla battery
- 8 Kg (18lb) lithium in a more "typical" ev battery
- 1.474 Billion cars in the world
- 8.1 Billion people on earth
- 5.1 Billion adults on earth
39.5Mt/1.474B = a little under 53lbs per existing car. so we can't even replace all the worlds existing cars with tesla batteries, let alone produce enough cars for all the people on earth. but what if all the cars were using what was categorized in Nature as a more typical EV battery?
39.5Mt/8.1B = 9.75lb lithium per person on earth. so we can't give everyone a more typical EV battery (and we better have 100% perfect recycling!), but a lot of those are too young to drive, so what about just adults?
39.5Mt/5.1B = 15.4lb lithium per adult age 20 or up on earth. so we can't even give the earths adults a "more typical" EV battery!
i'm just gonna show work for the reserves calculations without editorializing:
13.5Mt/1.474 = 18.3lb
13.5Mt/8.1B = 3.33lb
13.5Mt/5.1B = 5.3lb
It's worth diving into the nature article that my source bases their claims of 8kg on. they look at the existing evs and calculate the amount from that. existing evs are almost universally small and light whereas replacing all the cars on earth with evs would require a decent portion of evs that can go off road and carry loads and have awful coefficients of friction that would use bigger and more lithium intensive batteries.
Nah wasps are chill.
Soviet Union hasn’t existed for thirty years. No need to micro-aggress me by making me feel old comrade.
Hey @sunaurus@lemm.ee, you might oughta explicitly say if users from other instances are welcome in this thread.
Otherwise the extremely active posters are gonna see it in all/hot and pop in to post.
lol take that fucking boot out of your mouth.
