Seeing as China still burns fucking coal, I don't see how there can be a problem.
Olympic organizers have touted plans to cool rooms in the Athletes Village, which will house more than 15,000 Olympians and sports officials over the course of the games, using a system of cooling pipes underneath the floors.
The average high in Paris on Aug. 1 is 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit). The objective is to keep the rooms between 23-26 degrees (73-79 degrees Fahrenheit). The rooms will also be equipped with fans.
That could be a tad warm depending on sun exposure.
The pancake tortoise is a fast and agile climber, and is rarely found far from its rocky home so that, if disturbed, it can make a dash for the nearest rock crevice.[6] Since this tortoise could easily be torn apart by predators, it must rely on its speed and flexibility to escape from dangerous situations, rather than withdrawing into its shell.[10] The flexibility of its shell allows the pancake tortoise to crawl into narrow rock crevices to avoid potential predators,[6] thus exploiting an environment that no other tortoise is capable of using.[11]
Don't see anything about heat.
You have an incredibly adversarial tone with that "actual numbers" as if mine aren't, so I'm not going to continue.
But I will point out I'm using averages and you are cherry picking low mileage per year, low fuel consumption, and low gas prices. And I'm guessing funny electric numbers to change 1/4 the cost of gas to nearly 2/3 the cost. And funny enough you are combining low mileage per year with moderately-high battery replacement rate. You are picking and choosing.
Some quick math from this https://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2022/09/22/how_expensive_is_it_to_charge_an_ev_in_europe_and_is_it_really_cheaper_than_gas_854618.html#!
Puts slow charging at 1/4 the price of gasoline. That's substantial.
Other searching says average of 18k km per year in Europe. With 6 l/ 100 km average age 1.76€/ l, gasoline costs €1,901 per year. Vs €475 for electricity. Saving €1,426 a year (1,527 US) Do that for 10 years and that's €14,260 saved ($15, 270 US). I can only expect that savings will increase as gas prices go up.
As for maintenance anything with a timing belt is going to have a massive maintenance cost. There's just no comparison in the design of these things. Electric motors have such a simple design. ICE cars have oil changes, transmission oil changes, coolant changes, spark plugs, starters, 12 v battery, accessory belt, timing belt, alternator. Yes EV's have a 12v battery and coolant but these are not taxed nearly as much as ice cars.
EV motors are so simple they'll handily outlast ice engines. And no transmission either. Boy if you've ever had transmission problems you'd never want another, EVs don't have that. Tesla used to be on about a million mile drivetrain warranty because it really should be feasible. Ice cars can't ever get that (on average).
Batteries yeah we'll see how well new ones last. For a million miles you'll go through a few batteries, which get better each time.
EVs are more expensive up front, then cost less as electricity is cheaper than gas. And cheaper maintenance and longer lifespan.
Really not necessary (maybe unless you're rural in a high snow area). I have AWD and really don't need it, next car (sedan) will be FWD.
In 1993, a noose was left on a Black worker’s desk, and the following year he was told to “Go back to Africa.”
Oh yeah not subtle.
This worker, along with others, was consistently passed over for promotions in favor of less-qualified individuals.
In the early 2000s, another Black employee found the racial slur “coon” written on his work forms and “KKK” etched on his lunchbox. He was even ordered to submit a handwriting sample to prove he did not write it himself. The lawsuit states that one manager continued to refer to Black people as “colored” well into the 1990s, and another manager told a plaintiff that “women should be at home having kids.
Sounds like you need some recovery work. It's annoying and tedious I know, but if you need it you need it.
Sounds like you need to find something that you enjoy that moves you through a range of motion. There's a reason why people say so what you enjoy. Buy I will say, I think that much running can be tough on your body. If you really need to scratch that itch, maybe try sprints. But definitely try sometime else too.
Been a minute since I posted this:
Frame Canada: Wendell Potter spent decades scaring Americans. About Canada. He worked for the health insurance industry, and he knew that if Americans understood Canadian-style health care, they might.... like it. So he helped deploy an industry playbook for protecting the health insurance agency. https://www.npr.org/2020/10/19/925354134/frame-canada
Damn.
Albert Flick, 77, spent 25 years in jail from 1979 to 2004 for the brutal murder of his wife, the New York Post reports. Around six years later he was sentenced to further time behind bars for the assault of another woman.
According to the New York Post, the 77-year-old became obsessed with his victim and when she decided to move away he killed her, stabbing her 11 times.

Is there a way to search your Lemmy comments?
Or to load a whole bunch at once so you can Ctrl+F? I used to use RES on the other site to do that.
Have a low flush toilet that doesn't flush much? Keep a container nearby, fill it up with water, and pour it in the bowl as you flush.
I use an old mixed nuts container.
TIL China now has a 3 child policy.
Maximum, that is.
1 child policy from 1979 to 2015.
2 child policy from 2015 to 2021.
3 child policy since 2021.
>The announcement came after the release of the results of the Seventh National Population Census, which showed that the number of births in mainland China in 2020 was only 12 million, the lowest number of births since 1960, and the further aging of the population, against which the policy was born.[5] This was the slowest population growth rate China experienced.[6]
>Although the CCP government had high expectations for the new policy,[16] in a 2021 online poll conducted by the state media Xinhua on its Weibo account, using the hashtag #AreYouReady for the new three-child policy, about 29,000 out of 31,000 respondents stated they would "never consider it."[15]

People who thought OJ Simpson was innocent at the time of the trial, did you later change your mind?
How would Biden give abortion rights?
Act of Congress? So he would need majority of both houses and get rid of the filibuster?
Failing that, Executive action?
