Hmm, can't even see the comments. I get you though, I remember hurtful comments from way back. They do kinda stick with ya. People are a lot more confrontational on the internet than they are irl.

Wahots , to Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related in Aetna agrees to provide equal fertility coverage for LGBTQ+ people in landmark settlement

Hell yeah, this was (and is) a bummer for queer couples that want to have kids. We want to start families just like heterosexual couples, but stuff like A.I. and surrogacy can be extraordinarily expensive. And these so-called "pro life" politicians aren't taking steps to make it any more affordable to concieve while they scream about every life being sacred and replacement theory and all that nonsense.

Honestly, stuff like underwater welding should be done by robots. Stuff like that is so unbelievably dangerous. I could see a lot of dangerous jobs getting swapped over to robots (bomb defusal, hotwork, chemical processing or oil rig repairs when the plant is shut down, etc).

Russia and China always do this shit, it's going to be very problematic when one of their poorly trained pilots screws up and kills a bunch of people and themselves.

Not to mention google and apple deliberately C&Ding stuff like the awesome first party youtube apps and stuff like project islandwood. They deliberately tried to stopp their apps from working because they knew what would happen if WP succeeded.

This is why I skip so many threads. Mostly, I just wanna talk about aquariums, gardening and bikes/ebikes.

As soon as people bring up ________ and __________, I'm out.

Wahots , to Futurology in New German research shows EVs break down at less than half the rate of combustion engine cars.
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

They already have third-party batteries for ebikes as well as battery repacking services for proprietary batteries.

Hopefully, such services come for cars, assuming we get comprehensive R2R for cars and bikes.

Some ebikes have proprietary stuff like proprietary motors, spokes, and batteries.

This is awfully specific, haha.

Even some domestic brands like Juiced go on sale for like, $1,200 for a Juiced Ripracer. Aventon appears to make good stuff too, if you want bike shop support. I've had my bike for a month and put 320 miles on it. Fun little bike :)

Wahots , to Technology in China launches world’s largest electric container ship with 50 MWh battery
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

194 nautical miles isn't terribly far, though. For port to port, sure. For oceanic shipping, I don't think 194 is going to cut it. I think we will probably have to do SMRs or efuels to really cut cargo ship and cruise ship emissions when crossing the Pacific or Atlantic. Though I don't know where nuclear powered shipping (in non-military applications) is in terms of progress.

Wahots OP , to Android in YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps like ReVanced
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

I even had Youtube premium for a bit. Revanced is nice just to dial back some of the bells and whistles that isn't relevant to the video platform. The official app feels clunky.

Wahots , to Science in Peter Higgs, physicist who discovered Higgs boson, dies aged 94
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

He did a lot of good work. I also feel happy knowing that we actually found the particle physically while he was still alive. That has got to be satisfying. Rest easy, Higgs. ❤️

Wahots , to World News in Iran arms Hezbollah ahead of wider conflict with Israel
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

Seems like the root many of the problems in the middle east pretty much all lie with Iran, especially its murderous elders who donate weapons and train various paramilitary and terrorist organizations. Seems like a huge thorn in the side for that entire region.

Wahots , to No Stupid Questions in Is there a title (Mr/Ms/Mrs) that is gender neutral?
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

A sci-fi book from 1991 used that (Hyperion), and I thought it was just futurespeak. TIL!
