3,878 fuglytruks is the apparently the entire fleet. That is the really big story here. The fuglytruk is a flop. Nobody wants an 80k rust bucket.

For good reasons. Besides being a huge ongoing expense, they frequently end up amplifying the erosion, and would almost certainly degrade the public beaches adjacent to these houses.
" local citizens came together to take the necessary steps to protect their homes." - the steps they took were obviously not the necessary steps, instead they were unnecessary and in fact idiotic.
The Town of Salisbury did not ‘grapple with sea rise’. An ad hoc association, Salisbury Beach Citizens for Change, basically the owners of multi-million dollar absurdly situated beach front homes, blew 500,000 dollars on one wall of a giant sand castle.
Except of course anyone can manufacture and sell plug compatible pipes.
I started out in the computer industry working for a company that reverse engineered and built IBM compatible terminal systems, This was more than 40 years ago, when that was its own large and profitable sector of the computer hardware market. It was absolutely legal to build ‘plug compatible’ reverse engineered third party systems. DRM is almost entirely horseshit that has helped turn the entire tech industry into silo’d enshittified monopolies.
It’s our version of China’s social credit score.
Critical that it is tied to inflation. Otherwise the system will just rebalance via price to protect profits. That has to be stopped. They have to give all of us a larger share.
I don’t disagree, it ‘ought to’, but my point is simply that even if it doesn’t the benefits of legalization to both the addicted community and society in general are more than enough to justify legalization.
Addiction might go down, it might go up, but crime will definitely go down, and accidental overdose deaths will basically be eliminated.
Capitalism and neoliberal globalization is great as long as your capitalist organizations are dominating the system. But that inevitably results in the emergence of other competitive capitalist organizations. Then it’s back to trade barriers, and when that fails, military conflict.
Vast amounts of public funds will be used to both mitigate the damage caused by and protect the continued profitability of the fossil fuel industry.
1.5 is so 2020. The new limit is 2.0.
Ah the enshittification proceeds. Content is not king. Revenue is king. Those railing against it will be swept away as the shit tsunami envelopes everything.
Every now and then Lemmy has an actual discussion like this that gives me hope that it can become more than just an idiotic link aggregator. Thanks!
A degrowth society has to be an equitable society. Otherwise your criticism is entirely valid.
We are going to have a degrowth system regardless of any policy decisions, as the current growth system is burning through critical resources and destroying the environment. We can either plan for this, or we can have an unplanned existential civilizational crisis.
Raise your hand if you have ever peed in a public area. ✋
Yeah it’s intended for pvc water pipes - it’s safe.
I did. I forgot to mention that. The actual problem was that the funnel no longer sealed tightly with the water container. Using thread tape repaired the seal. Replacing the funnel would also work, but thread tape is very inexpensive.
The F150 EV is not exactly a success.
