Not quite, the true invariant quantity is the magnitude of the spacetime 4 vector, which depends on rest mass.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-momentum

It actually goes further than that. In spacetime you’re always going the same speed, the more in space, less in time.

At least from the special relativity perspective.

That seems around what I’d expect the measurement error to be anyway

Eventually yes, but I personally think that recycling solar panels and so on could slow collapse much more than the author suggests.

Also batteries, lithium is expensive so a lot of companies are trying to come up with cheaper, but also more sustainable alternatives. And they already have with lithium iron phosphate that requires less lithium. And as prices for a substance rise, so will the desire for alternatives and recycling.

It really does read like an ad, which is amusingly ironic since linux mint is free.

I think it depends, farsighted? Probably not.

Nearsighted looking at things hopelessly out of focus and not trying to look, perhaps.

I’m very nearsighted amd taking my glasses seems to make them relax, since nothing will be close enough to make them focus.

Somebody that’s farsighted might strain their eyes to focus without their glasses.

They will be safe to eat indefinitely, but may not be palatable, depending on how it’s stored.

I’m not ignorant of rural life, I’ve lived in rural areas, suburbs, and visiting cities a lot.

There are a lot of reasons why american cities suck, high crime, decrepit buildings, not unique to cities either.

Enjoy your life, and be safe. Try not to put others in danger.

I don’t know why I care so much, but someone in my area died in a car accident a few months ago. I didn’t know her, but i was very close at the time it happened.

A drunk driver hit them and everyone blames them alone, and yeah its their fault. But the road leading up to it is too easy to go fast leading into a shopping center. I don’t want to live a culture that just accepts car deaths. I want the county and government to fix unsafe roads. And I’d like something to be done to stop the arms race between cars on the road, in the end your not that much safer, while people outside the car die in greater numbers.

I’m sorry that the area you live in has decided that transportation can carry a serious risk of death. Roads can be desinged in a safer manner, even when people are drunk.

Transit options are workable even in rural areas when designed correctly.

Well I bike to work, so take that how you will.

Personally I’d rather advacote for safer roads for everyone, and transit options that doesn’t turn into an arms race, like buses, trains and biking where possible.

Also get hit by a semi, tell me how you win that arms race.

I hate it cause its lethal, wasteful, and stupid.

The average car age is 12.5 years, so many of them are likely approaching 20

Yeah and that’s why I’m not advocating for 100 year cars.

I’d be pretty happy with 20 years to, but 10 just feels like planned obsolescence.

I also messed around with the math very loosly, and only accounting for crashes that total a car, they could be expected to go 20 years or more on average.

And that’s now with all the terrible driving that happens, especially at night. With slight deacrease in accident frequncy that number can increase a lot.

So maybe 30 is a bit much for now, but I’d still like an ev that would claim to last 20 yeara.

So far most ev batteries do much better than cell phones, as long as they have cooling.

But you still have it backwards.

We could very easily design and build a car that lasts 30 years. But we don’t, because manufacturers don’t want them to last that long.

Evs don’t have transmissions, or complicated engines, and the wear on brakes is much less with regenerative braking.

Other things like air conditioning and interior coverings could be easily servicable

Why should the life of an ev by limited by its battery?

Because lemmy search sucks. Its very specific, and usually the most relavant stuff is buried by tangetially related things.

We have reactor designs that use already spent fuel, we just aren’t building them. We have enough spent fuel for centuries, and afterwards the reprocessed fuel is much less radioactive, and only for a few decades.

If you’re barely scraping by, having less money can significantly affect quality of life, or at least percieved quality of life.

Valve ships a linux device in the form of the steam deck, so almost certainly.
