BirdsWithBeefyArms,

This isn’t necessarily true. If you are using an identity provider, you can still perform a password reset on GitLab and set a password there, bypassing your 2FA on GitHub. You usually shouldnt rely on IdP 2FA unless the destination system enforces IdP signin every time. There is a group setting in GitLab that does that, but it will only apply for that group.

BirdsWithBeefyArms,

Lies. They’re very reliable. You can rely on them to be wrong.

BirdsWithBeefyArms,

Always scourge. Times like right now are a joy, though undoubtedly (and deservedly) short-lived.

BirdsWithBeefyArms,

Tldw: no. ‘this is still the greatest purchase of my entire life’

How crazy is it to buy two routers in order to bridge a connection across the street?

I need to bring internet access the street and am currently using a router running openwrt connected to my network access the street. I am thinking about getting a second router or outside ap to create a dedicated network for bringing internet across....

BirdsWithBeefyArms,

For comparison, 1 gallon of gas is 33.7 kwh of energy, so 3m/kwh is 3*33.7 = 101.1 mpge

So the numbers look low, but they’re certainly not low in comparison.

BirdsWithBeefyArms,

My comment wasn’t necessarily addressing cost as opposed to how to calculate efficiency. Cost gets much weirder. Nobody can accurately determine the price that anyone else pays for electricity unlike gas, because solar and time of usage exists not to mention the percentage of time home charging comes into play. Washington Post ran a pretty good article on this recently.

Either way ignoring cost, the EV will always be more efficient. That doesn’t mean it will always be cheaper.

BirdsWithBeefyArms, (edited )

You’re stating a different point that I’m making. I’m consistently saying “I’m not talking about price”, then you go back to price. The initial OP stated that the car obsession is showing it’s wasteful, because it consumes a ton of resources. Someone corrected the OPs understanding of the average efficiency of electric cars. I provided the EPA agreed-upon conversion of MPG -> MPGe. You then decided that efficiency = cost. It’s not.

Yes, for most use-cases an electric car will be cheaper; you can read about that here. There are some use-cases today where it won’t be. But it wasn’t the point of my post. Whether or not it’s always cheaper, using an EV Escalade vs a gas Escalade will always be more efficient.

BirdsWithBeefyArms,

Exact same situation here, two 3rd gens.

We did the same type of research you did OP, and honestly you have three options:

  • get a low cost ‘automatic rake’ box, which will break in a month if your pet has a bad day on the potty. Or worse, everything will get stuck to the rake and it’ll be worse to clean than scooping the box.
  • you go with something proprietary like the crystal litter solutions.
  • or you get an expensive box like the litter machine.

Its certainly unfortunate that there aren’t better options for cheaper, but I do think that it’s the right choice in most cases. I have 4 cats and 2 litter boxes, and I empty them about once a week with a deep clean every 3 months or so. We do have one non automated box because sometimes they prefer that, but overwhelmingly they prefer the litter machines.

Minneapolis ex-officer sentenced to nearly 5 years in Floyd killing (www.reuters.com)

Former Minneapolis police officer Tou Thao was sentenced on Monday to 4-3/4 years in prison for aiding and abetting manslaughter in the 2020 killing of George Floyd, a Black man whose neck was pinned to the ground by another officer’s knee during a botched arrest....

BirdsWithBeefyArms,

He didn’t take a plea deal. The others did.

BirdsWithBeefyArms,

I have a Rivian and it works great with no subscription. The only thing you can add via Sub is a hotspot, which seems reasonable to me.

BirdsWithBeefyArms,

I agree, I do think they should allow both aa/cp, and wifi while driving so you can tether to your phones wifi. I’m not as doom about secondhand sales as you seem to be though.

BirdsWithBeefyArms,

Essentially the standard is saying that anything attempting to connect to the web must provide an attestation that it’s representing a human.

Mozilla opposes it because it’s another barrier for new tools to implement, and there is no evidence that bots wouldn’t just say ‘yeah, I’m a human!’

So no benefit, and more barriers

BirdsWithBeefyArms,

I think that the issue is that everyone here is saying “everyone should do X”, and that just doesn’t make sense. Maybe everyone should just pick one thing on the chart and do that to improve the world as a whole? “People will have kids anyway, so that’s not a good measure” could easily be reframed as “People will have meat anyway, so that’s not a good measure”.

We all have a sacrifice we’re willing to make to be better, and we don’t mind doing. Some people don’t want to have kids, so they contribute that way. Some people don’t want to eat meat anyway, so they contribute that way. If you want to do better, pick one thing and start doing it, even if it’s not perfect.
