Maybe this can help explain it https://youtu.be/FK4RHzNHZXY?si=f8lGXy11J7ID6Sll

Do you know what an analogy is?

How about we both do the calculations and we cancel each others consultant fees?

This is also true for cars, but electric cars are viable even though its the same comparison between energy density. Would you be willing to have this conversation with actual calculations and specified arguments regarding the numbers?

I like trains and I’m not American. You brought up energy density as the factor preventing long haul. Please don’t appeal to authority as the argument but rather state what you think the energy density needs to be and why to make electric long haul viable.

I’m curious what you think the energy density needs to be for it to be viable and why? The way I see it energy density is a very minor factor for this equation but I’m curious to hear your explanation.

I know that’s true in the US, but do you have a source for Europe on that?

The ones who disagree just say that “is not clearly visible in the data, yet” for anyone wondering.

If you go by simple physics it’s undeniable that it should be speeding up, there are just too many variations and the dataset is too small for some scientists to want to make such conclusive statements.

Just to take a jab at the US from a European perspective…

You don’t have the right to bear arms in prison? I thought guns were sacred in the US!?

I’m not a fan of Apple but saying that this radiation is akin to gamma radiation in some way its just ignorant.

Here’s a source for the radiation levels for everybody else: https://www.reuters.com/technology/apple-disputes-french-findings-says-iphone-12-complies-with-radiation-standards-2023-09-13/

I can’t find a single source that ranks the US above Canada on quality of life. You got any kind of source for that that isn’t anecdotal?

Why not both?

Edit: Didn’t see that it was also a question of which is the greater problem. Overlooking is the greater problem.

You probably should do that to preserve democracy and protect yourself and your country, but you’re not going to. Instead what you’ll see is them coming for group after group and first throwing them in prison and then concentration camps. You’ll try to debate them and vote them out while they methodically kill you, thereby increasing their power.

It’s the same pattern as always. If I were in the US I’d do everything to flee while I still could.

Lowering the quality of education is something that the right always does, everywhere in the world, when they come into power. It’s a long term investment for them to stay or get back into power.

Education level is strongly correlated with political leaning so it’s a smart move from them to attain their goals (which isn’t making the country better).

Yeah, I just checked it out and it’s not my cup of tea. It seems like I align with them on much of their critique on a lot of stuff but I’m not in support of their endorsements (like the CCP). I also don’t like those kinds of memes and find the blending of serious discussions and (what I think is) juvenile memes to be off putting.

I saw both the best (well argued and sourced) and worst (denial of Ughurs genocide and the state of Taiwan) comments on that instance.

I’m not going back there though, I’m too old and tiered to have those kinds of discussion in an environment that is hostile to opposing views on certain topics.

I’m not the person you asked but I’ll chime in since I share their sentiment.

The answer is no, not a single one. But that’s because I’m on lemmy.world and hexbear is defederated from this instance. All the shit talking I see about hexbear is actually making me more and more curious about checking it out to see if its true, because it might be that hexbear is just a reasonable leftist place that is strong and people talking shit about it are just right wingers or centrists who are trying to give hexbear a bad name.

I’ll probably check it out eventually when I’ve become curious enough due to people talking shit about it. It’s probably shit though, but I don’t know that.
