How to make a month go by as fast as possible other than sleeping

I'm having some personal issues causing some severe depression and anxiety. I'd like to get past this time as fast as possible, and my days are dragging on. I can't sleep, which would be a good way to make time go fast. But I also can't just play video games, I don't have the motivation to play more than a few minutes and it...

Jigsaw puzzles, the bigger the better. It keeps you constantly mentally engaged and the act of reaching for pieces and looking around is good physical activity too.
I get back ache if I do a jigsaw session for the first time in a while.
It really tires me out before bed and can prevent that rumination before falling asleep.
Finally it’s really cheap, there are limitless puzzles in charity shops and even some libraries lend them.

That’s enough Lemmy for today.

What kind of backhanded EV misinformation bullshit is this?

Electric, gas, petrol, hydrogen, diesel, cooking oil or vodka; what you put in your car to make it go makes no difference to the tires or the wear.

2023 top 5 vehicles sold in USA and weight:

1 - Ford F-150 4069-5697lbs

2 - Chevrolet Silverado 4400-6947lbs

3 - Ram pickup 4765-6440lbs

4 - Toyota RAV4 3370lbs

5 - Tesla Model Y 4416lbs

Looks like the only electric on the list is below the average weight. We don’t have these conversations about the trucks.

Those are the most sold vehicles in the US, when you have heavy EV’s in the top slots you can say that heavy ev’s are a problem… until then it’s what you are buying is causing the problem.

That is a list of the most sold vehicles in the US. Where are the people lining up to say the ICE trucks that are so popular are causing all this tire pollution?

That explanation is fair enough but the headline is red meat the the EV disinformation brigade.

I agree entirely, but the title of this post suggests that EVs are the problem, but actually it’s heavy vehicles.

Additionally when we say “problem”, particulate pollution from vehicles is 99.9% a diesel problem, and 0.1% a tire problem. (Not actual statistics but let me know how wrong I am with the actual stat)

That’s a terrible thing to say!

…Only joking.

I tried to buy an EV for my parents a couple of weeks ago and the dealer had the EV misinformation playbook memorised and tried to convince us that EVs were a fad and that should get a hybrid until Hydrogen takes over.

I’ve decided that whenever I see these common myths, I’m not going to just let the misinformation go unquestioned.

In this case I think specifically focusing on EVs will generate more clicks for article writers, but it does also feed a common anti-EV narrative that they are somehow worse than ICE cars because of tire wear, which is not true.

I do see the other side that the tires being developed are specifically looking at EV owners, so this is a tough one to get the balance right on, but I do still think the headline is written to stir trouble and generate clicks.

One thing is certain, America needs to stop buying so many trucks!

Well there are contractors who need to tow heavy machinery around, so about 0.01% of the people that buy them need them.

Title: "The most environmentally-friendly device is the one you already own." The image shows a pie chart with Apple Corporation's CO2 emissions. In the center are the total emissions from 2018: "25.2 million metric tons of CO2". The pie chart illustrates the following (from lowest emissions to highest): - End of life treatment accounts for less than 1% of emissions - Corporate facilities account for 2% of emissions - Product transport accounts for 5% of emissions - Usage accounts for 19% of emissions - Production accounts for 74% of emissions The original report from Apple is: "Environmental Responsibility Report: 2019 Progress Report, covering fiscal year 2018": https://www.apple.com/environment/pdf/Apple_Environmental_Responsibility_Report_2019.pdf.

    I may be completely wrong but don’t Samsung, Google etc. stop supporting OS updates on Android phones after 5-6 years?
    Apple have supported devices for 6-8 years AFAIK.

    I’ve been watching this graphic tick over for some time. I knew it would reach this grim milestone and I thought my feelings would be clear, but…

    I feel sorry for the forced combatants, something different for the brainwashed and something different again for the willing participants.

    I hope every Ukrainian is able to phone home tonight and let their loved ones know they are safe.
