It looks like you can construct scenarios where ICE cars are cheaper than EVs by a fine margin, for instance a mid-sized car that you own for just the wrong amount of time in a country with a high gas subsidy (the United States, for instance) that you don’t drive much. However, for most scenarios, it seems you’ll save 10-15% on the total cost of ownership.

The acronyms TCO (total cost of ownership), ICE (internal combustion engine) and EV (electric vehicle) may help you should you decide to continue research on your own.

I love Athletic Brewing Company. Their Oktoberfest is very good, and their Blueberry Lemon Mango sour is my favorite NA beer on the market. I also really like Best Day, especially their Kolsch.

I’m from Seattle, Washington, and it’s illegal to pretend your parents are rich here. Not sure why, though 🤷‍♂️

I added a user story to the site to reflect this idea! I can’t promise we’ll ship it, but I can promise we’ll think about it.

I’m trying to get a team together to do something similar which you can join if you’re interested: https://dougs-digital-garden.netlify.app/notes/trailsapp/

The fediverse is less like Twitter and more like email. You sign up for email through a provider, like Gmail or Outlook, and they have control over your access to the other users and pay the costs of running your hardware, the same way you sign up with a particular domain on Lemmy or Mastodon. Like email, you have an inbox that receives messages, and communities are like email groups you join and send messages to. And, like email, it’s based on standards that everyone has agreed on through a group called the w3 consortium.

I use bi personally, but pan people argue that they’re more than two genders and they are attracted to all of them. I use bi because my sexuality is dualistic – I have both heterosexual and homosexual attractions. The two are effectively synonymous.

I dunno about taboo, but I think there’ll be a lot fewer “monosexual” (homo/hetero people) and a lot more bi/pan people. I think we’re seeing an increase already in acceptance that most people have at least a few people of their non-preferred gender they’re attracted to, and those kinds of mentalities will permeate to a mushy continuum of sexuality, rather than hard categories.

I use namecheap – I got my two most recent domains for less than $8 apiece – but I hear good things about Google domains as well.

And I’ve seen real combat, too 😜

Uh… I may have committed a little light fraud

It’s common enough that this dude made this song about it, idk 🤷

James Bond. Ian Fleming wrote a series of novels parodying spy novels, and they’ve turned into one of the best spy movie franchises, with no hint of parody left.

3, 4 and 5 are all legit problems, but the community is working on it, and they’ll get better. 1 and 2 are features, not bugs.

This is a very good addition!

We’re working on it! Here’s the spec-in-progress: https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/

These things take time. We’ll get there.

Kinda. What you’re referring to is “decompilation”, which is the process of taking the output of a compiler and trying to reverse-engineer the code that produced it. But decompiled code is really hard to read and modify, because it isn’t what humans wrote, it’s what the compiler translated it into, and that can have some unexpected changes than are mostly irreversible. And, since it’s closed source, if you somehow manage to make a change, you can’t re-release it – you don’t have the license to do so.

With open source, you see the same code as the maintainers, so it has the high-level programming concepts and good variable names, and you have permissions to fork and release your own version.
