Not really. See table 2 here (a ways down the page)

Cold generally slows degradation.

But using them at cold temps is bad

Presumably Lemmy. In which case it is also a dad joke.

You're right, but the culture at any given plant might be hostile to doing things the right - safe - way.

So uh I take it we aren't talking about this Dio here?

Price increases seem to take long residence in people's minds. Prices are noticeably way higher than in 2019. Whether wage increases make up for that is kind of beside the point, psychologically. Collectively, big price hikes are traumatic.

Economists correctly talk about inflation as a rate of price increase, and they correctly consider real wages as a useful metric of well-being. But economists are academics and we use the word "inflation" in a colloquial sense, in a politicized real world, where it means "I have noticed that prices rose is recent memory and every time I go to the store I feel cheated."

But to be clear, it's not in my top 10 either (mine starts with climate, democracy, and freedom). Just sharing how I see the disconnect on inflation as a hot topic.

We've probably already seen the major stuff from the house committees investigation. If this does anything, it will only make it a little more fresh

FYI the photo you're referring to is of NY Attorney General Letitia James, not the judge. She looks black because she's black.

I don't know what you mean by this.

Unless you're under the impression that the judge is part of the DOJ?

Or you think the DOJ shouldn't be prosecuting this case against menendez?

Yet one more victim of climate change

I understand the gripes about NYT wrt trans rights and Palestine and general "both sides" bs, but within this context about endorsements it's worth noting that they are publishing a big series of pro-Harris editorials in the last couple weeks of the election.

Also it is marked "DVD"

Regarding flight: where to? Of similar "democracies" Europe and Canada have similarly troubling trends. Scandinavia? Australia? SE Asia? Are they any better, really?

I would love to see a detailed technical explanation for how this would be possible.

I design battery-powered electronics for a living and I can't think of any design that would let a battery explode with the violence these did, let alone on command. Unless it were deliberate.

Is this....antisemitism?

I haven't heard of this. I saw from a YouTube comment that it's a mod. But nothing more in the post or youtube description? Just a video of walking down a hallway? Maybe I missed something in the audio because I watched muted?

What is it? Should I care?

Yeah I could google it. Should I bother?

I'm not seeing "cash for clunkers" types of arguments here - I've always seen EV adoption as more about market share of new cars rather than share of the entire fleet.

Of course the former leads to the latter, eventually.

Hey man are you OK?

"Tech" is a conflated term. The way I read OP is that they don't want their cars main user interface to be a smartphone app. Doesn't mean the car can't be technologically advanced.

Here's a paper

Some voters prefer to deliver their mail ballots to a drop box rather than sending them back through the mail. These voters may be motivated by lack of trust in the postal process, fear that their ballot could be tampered with, or concern that their signature will be exposed. Voters may also be concerned about meeting the postmark deadline and ensuring that their ballot is returned in time to be counted.

Ballot drop boxes and drop-off locations allow voters to deliver their ballots in person. More importantly, the availability of ballot drop boxes and drop-off locations ensures that even voters who wait until the last minute to vote or who receive their requested ballot in the mail at the last minute will be able to return their ballots in time to be counted.

Many of these last-minute voters drop their ballot off at a voting location (which may not be allowed by state law). Setting up ballot drop boxes and educating voters to use them mitigates a number of COVID-19-related risks associated with in-person voting. It also minimizes the number of people that will need to access voting locations, thereby providing more space for those who are engaged in in-person voting

Can you please elaborate?

This monster hasn't soldered the headers on.

I'm just being descriptive. You asked why, that's why.

I'm not saying it should be that way, or that it should not be changed now that it is that way. I'm here for US politics but I'd be happy if this became a world politics community and I had to subscribe to c/USPolitics (or whatever) as well.

Boilerplate comment for boilerplate meme

Whenever I see a fucked up, but not world-news-worthy story like this, it is always some guy spamming fucked up news from India in multiple communities it doesn't belong in. And I always block them.

The lawsuit itself appears to be real, not fake.

The allegations may not be true.

It's subtle, but there's a difference

I get so frustrated when an article introduces a new term, says what somebody thinks about it, then goes off on some tangent before finally describing the issue at hand two thirds of the way through the article.

Signature matching is supposedly a way to prevent fraud, in which a voter’s signature on a ballot, or in this case petition, is confirmed to correspond with a signature from the same voter registered in the state’s database. But it has been criticized widely as a method of voter suppression.

I'm in his district, I'll see what I can do

Do you need to poop and fart?

I looked and saw that you've posted about 100 times in the last month (many of which j recognized and appreciated, thank you for your service). Three of them have net down votes.

Seems like your posts are mostly well received, so I'm not sure what the issue is? 97% positive isn't enough?

I didn't get it at first and thought this had to do with a faulty SMBus
