Wahots, to worldnews in Pope allegedly used derogatory term for gay people

He is then believed to have continued by saying in Italian that there was, in the Church, already too much of an air of frociaggine (fag***, according to Gtranslate)

Goddamn, apparently I’m missing out on the good shit at church, wtf. They better be at pride this year. 🏳️‍🌈

I kinda assumed people understood the messages behind Battlefield 1, Death Stranding, and Helldivers 2, lol. Most of the messages are telegraphed pretty clearly.

This is well written. On the last point, not just the democracies are struggling either. All the autocratic nations are also having big (and even scarier) problems such as major population crashes in the next 30 years (no more young people), economic rot that would make 2008’s great recession look pretty fucking chill, or systemic problems that have no peaceful, easy solutions.

Vote. He’s not allowed to turn this country into a “shithole country” in his words.

Wahots, to energy in The surge in hydroelectric dams is driving massive biodiversity loss
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

You gotta have reliable baseload energy. Traditionally, that has been hydro in blessed regions, coal and gas in other regions, and nuclear if your country has the funds to do so.

The key is to always have baseload power for dark winter months, weeks of bad weather, or heat domes and forest fires, where you may find yourself not having sun or wind for extended periods of time with incredibly high demand on the grid (for AC!).

My two cents is that nuclear energy is worth it for clean, reliable energy that doesn’t hose all of your rivers. We will need some hydro for water reserves and power, but a diverse energy mix that doesn’t rely on hydrocarbons is the way forward, imo.

Baseload of hydro, nuclear, geothermal. Solar and wind with battery storage, pumped storage, green hydrogen. Rooftop solar. Greenscapes in cities to keep heat down and absorb rainwater so it doesn’t mess up combined sewage pipes.

Heat pumps and proper insulation for homes and buildings. Ebikes for short range commutes of 1-45 miles. Puts a lot less strain on the grid than EV cars, too.

There were bug chasers during the pandemic, too. >_>

Wahots, to asklemmy in What did you buy that improved your life?
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

A bidet, an ebike, a tongue scraper.

The first means no more clogged toilets, no toilet paper needed, and a fantastically clean ass always.

Also comes with side benefits like being able to eat the hottest foods imaginable, not getting hemorroids or healing those ones you may already have, being able to wipe your ass with two broken wrists (if you mountain bike or are old), not getting forever chemicals on your asshole, and having an ass that your SO won’t think is disgusting.

A commuter ebike, because it allows you to travel 1-45 miles stupidly easy, which saves a staggering amount of money on gas (uses pennies of electricity), parking fees, and wear and tear on your car. Side benefits include not being absolutely enraged in traffic, occasionally beating your own drive times in a car, and not having parking anxiety at popular destinations such as beaches, parks, downtown shopping, or ferries. Provides a decent amount of exercise as it basically becomes an exercise bike when the assist is turned off.

It also will allow you to get up hills without getting sweaty.

Tongue scraper- removes plaque from your tongue in cakes. Way better than mouthwash. Leaves your breath much fresher after meals. Works best at night, but also can remove bad morning breath. Get a small metal one. Dramatically changes your breath quality and makes your mouth feel cleaner. Great if you plan on doing some kissing.

Wahots, to globalnews in Google criticized as AI Overview makes obvious errors, such as saying former President Obama is Muslim
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

The whole part about “its safe to stare at the sun for 5-15 minutes if you are white or half an hour if dark skinned” is going to land them in serious hot water when people start going blind or accidentally poison themselves or others with similar queries about food, mixing cleaning products, or medicines.

Or even something as simple as it spitting out the wrong temperature to safely cook certain foods.

Wahots, to micromobility in Green BeTriton e-Trailer Is a Bike Camper Trailer That Floats, With Unlimited Range

I have a mighty need. (Would love to see a fat tire compatible rack, and some higher walls for wave protection on lakes)

Wahots, to micromobility in What pedals do you use? How do you like them?
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

My ebike: the default flat pedals. (Good for stopping at lights and when cars veer into the protected bike lanes.)

My traditional enduro mountain bike: crank bros mallets, a clip in pedal.

Wahots, to micromobility in Biden’s New Import Rules Will Hit Ebike Batteries Too
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

This is what worries me about the tariffs. I’m all for supporting American companies, but I don’t know of any making ebike motors, motor controllers, throttles or battery packs. Even Grin Tech in Canada is using Chinese parts.

The most important thing is getting people off cars for short trips of 1-45 miles. Making ebikes affordable helps us decarbonize for a fraction of the cost of what an EV car costs. You can get an Aventon ebike for as low as $1,000 USD. More ebikes from Juiced Bikes on sale go as low as $1,150. And those aren’t even subsidized by the government, even though ebikes make a lot more sense for cities over EV cars.

Until there’s the capacity to drop in American motors to replace Bafeng motors and american batteries to replace Samsung cells, I don’t see this helping people get off of ICE motors and oil.

What will happen when someone’s motor breaks in 2026?

Wahots, to micromobility in Mackinac Island faces possible legal action over electric bike policy
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

They are gonna lose that fight against her, lol. They didn’t have snowmobiles, planes or electric mobility scooters in the late 1800s either, haha. And yet, those are allowed. Banning cars is a noble goal. Banning clean forms of transit while still allowing ICE vehicles is kinda crazy.

Wahots, to buildapc in New Motherboard with loose CMOS Battery - Should I worry/return?
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

If it were me, I’d go for it. I have even bought used x570 mobos with no issues. I’m still daily driving it, and it’s now under waterblocks. Mobos are pretty bombproof compared to the 00s.

Wahots, to melbourne in Homeless physicist 'sick of smelling of my own BO' living in a van in a region with impossible rent
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

Poor woman. Jesus, that is nuts. Reminds me of Regular Car Reviews’ video on the PT Cruiser where he said something along the lines of “Everyone is just a few bad scrapes away from driving a PT Cruiser.”

A bad stroke, a marriage that fails, an inability to work, and suddenly, you are cashing in your retirement and living in a van down by the river.
