Fair point on the readability of the first paragraph, I’ve edited a little bit to clarify it’s about pollution. And I’m agreeing with you on the first paragraph, construction of EV does induce more or equal pollution, but it’s different sources of pollution, EV have the availability to have the most important part (batteries) easily recyclable. Once enough batteries hit the market to meet demand, recycled batteries could replace the majority of the market, replacing mining. Or new batteries; sodium? Who knows, the future could hold some wild advances!?

The big part of a power grid source is that it can be modular, in a area still running on coal can shut down dirty power plants and connect clean ones, a ICE will stay a ICE until you get a new car, which the current argument is that the production of cars is dirty and should be reduced as much as it could - I agree on that

I can’t quite understand the final paragraph… I don’t understand the 50% and 0%, and while walkable cities are good to strive for, it’s comparing apples to oranges.

While it could have been phrased differently, I very well did believe you could be arguing in good faith, there has been such a mix of people who have genuine concerns, and others that want to believe it’s a fad for one reason or other. But I would like to say I genuinely do hope you’re in the first group.

In this case, even without fire it would still be good. You’d want to hit the productive parts which would be hard to replace, and not necessarily the easily replaceable fuel tanks. The amount of fuel lost is one hit, while pretty can be replaceable, but if you make that surviving batch of fuel the last batch…

Now I’m going to go off on some non sourced reporting here because it was given to me in a car-radio news, but the pollution caused by the construction is about equal if not a little more, but different; in terms of EV’s than ICE. However the expected lifetime use of a EV is expected to make up for that and more to a end result of less than half at a minimum before needing disposal. By your own argument you are aware the vast amount of emissions are from the ICE use itself.

Speculation: with new battery technology increasing over time, that lifetime gap may even increase.

This is all of course if you’re arguing in good faith and are willing to also recognize the difference between generalized ‘pollutants’ and environmental impacts and carbon impacts.

That’s kind of the whole point of that phrase being highlighted. It’s not that anyone actually thinks that because young J.D was asked about sucking dicks and he said no, that he’s magically removed of all homosexual thoughts, and to be gay you need to like sucking dicks.

The implication is highlighting to be that he could be repressed bi or gay from his grandmothers rhetorical question.

*Some

Is the keyword, GMO purposes can be vast, and not all are just for pesticides or non-fertility.

Some are even used to be more pest resistant so it can be less reliant on pesticides.

If you go online, be ABSOLUTELY sure it’s not a foreign species of ladybeetle, as it’s a super easy way to release an invasive species if it’s not your local variety.

To my knowledge, that is only lead acetate. If it was lead acetate that would be a obvious additive, however the article talks about how the metals are accumulated from the cocoa plants themselves through the soil.

Ah, fair. I have mixed up two different articles, one from technology@lemmy.world. That article clarified a little more that this ‘recall’ is still just a software update with a scary name. It’s just updating the hood sensor to alert if it detects the hood is not fitted. Is it negligible that they aren’t doing a physical fix? Oh hell yeah, but they’re still just pushing it to software.

They really should not be calling these ‘recalls’

But… it is a software patch?

That’s the joke to the meme. Don’t think it requires much discussion. I would hope people would look at this and know it’s satirical/obviously abusive.

Who be brushing teeth BEFORE breakfast?

I thought that was the intention?

A double meaning icon, since the comma is used in writing on a text platform. I thought it was more creative than all the other soulless corporate minimalism.
