My brother caught it first. He developed keloids from it. I was maybe 6 or 7 at the time. I had to wear mittens on my hands till it healed.

Back in my day our parents had parties for chicken pox. The older you get, the worse it is.

There was no vaccine when I was a child.

I do.

Both have the same issue of excessive barrel wear. Main difference is rail guns use no explosives at all. It’s all kinetic energy. It’s insane how much of a punch they pack. My limited understanding is that’s why we have not put any in service. The go through barrels too quickly

Iraq was working on one as well though many years later

They also lost federal funds unrelated to their BLM support. Looks like death by a thousand paper cuts.

Since labor is a cost. You just defeated your argument.

If labor goes up, prices will go up. It’s that simple. Fast food is only profitable at high volumes. Their profit margin is only around 10% which is low.

Rogue one felt like Star Wars to me. The other did not.

That is actually what Elon said yet the media keeps twisting it. He is prohibited from providing a signal in Crimea because of sanctions. If Biden agrees, he’ll turn it on. He can’t turn it on just because Ukraine makes a request as federal law overrides them. Now I’m surprised Biden has made such a request even secretly in the background

Most states have medical prisons to detain those with special needs.

Here is an example of one.

Sometimes they’ll be paroled if they are Low risk. That way the tax payer isn’t financially responsible.

Ironically medical care is a right to prisoners but it’s not for everyone else.

I didn’t realize Estonia had already joined nato. When they talk about nations donating to Ukraine, Estonia tops the list based on gdp.

Well I learned something new today. I didn’t realize they were part of nato. I thought they were still waiting for to join

The problem is Estonia can’t hold out again Russia for very long. They just don’t have a large enough military.

Maybe nato needs to send troops to train them like 100k or so.

One article I read said he likes to fire whole teams and then see which people are asked about. Those are the ones he rehires. If nobody misses you then you were doing a job of value.

From a human level, this is just shitty. It isn’t the way to treat people.

If you want lemmy to be more active, make it more active. If you want users to engage more, then give them something to engage with. Every user is part of what happens here, even more than on reddit. That is why I am active.

Maybe your instance has defederated with too many others?

Lemm.ee is great about letting you decide what to filter. I can’t say enough good things about the admin.

Do you mean lemmy as a whole?

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the number, but last I saw, they were trending down on all counts.

My thoughts were also about phantom breaking, but I don’t know if it is still an issue.

I haven’t had an issue with it for over a year but according to others it’s still a real issue. The car will just slam on the breaks for some odd reason. I don’t want to say no reason because the car thinks there is a valid reason but there isn’t. I’m more likely to have the issue on a sunny day, by a bridge when I’m the only car in front of me.

Since I’m a conservative, I have many fans who follow me around and downvote anything I say. It’s sad they think that gives them power over me or that I care.

As long as someone is having a discussion. They’ll never get a downvote from me.

The driver assist is pretty damn good. It’s so good many people trust it to much. They’ll read email. Crawl in the back seat. You can go to Amazon and buy things to make it seems like your hands are on the wheel. Now the article did say EV are more likely to be read ended. I do wonder if that’s because of the phantom breaking.

They have the worst accident rates among all brands and their driving assist features either can’t keep idiots from making bad decisions or, worse, even amplify the dangerous effects that idiots create while driving

You need the study to clarify that. Oddly the first article says accidents but when you see how it’s defined, tickets such as spending are called an accident

I have not found an article that breaks down other EV since there are few of them and lumped in with brand as a whole.

You’ll see ram and Subaru are comparable to tesla
