There already aren’t gas stations in these remote locations. Why would there need to be EV chargers??

The thought of having rail service small campsites is comical.

If we did move to a world where cities are dense enough that public transit did replace cars for most people, cars would still be a viable rental for when leaving the city.

Of course, percentage just help show relativity. It’s why people can look at a 0.5% increase and dismiss it as not significant.

Would it help if I translated the percentage for you? Linux surged 600000 to 2.3 million.

I’m super confused by your point.

In this case we’re looking at Steam.

I have no clue how many people submit to the steam survey, but I’ll assume it’s representative.

A quick google suggests steam has about 120 million active users.

Linux went from about 1.4% to 1.9%.

Rough math says Linux went from 1.7 million to about 2.3 million.

Or an increase of 600 000.

That a lot, both in relative terms and in real terms.

Here’s a counter example for you.

You own stock in banana company. Over one day the price increases 2x. All the news agency’s are talking about how banana surged in price today. Will you then suggest that banana didn’t surge in price because it only makes up 1% of the overall stock market?

That’s why we’re talking about relative percentages.

In your example we would need to know how many trees existed on your road/city before. If there were less than 3 or 4 trees in your city before this, saying there was a surge is likely fine.

What percentage increase do you feel is required for surge to be a reasonable definition. A 35% increase feels surge-y me.

This Samsung app is the one thing I need to actually switch my family over to jellyfin.

I could do the workaround for myself, but I’m not doing it for others.

So for now I’m the only jellyfin user

Fastmail & my own domain

It is insiane to me that Google shows these ads to google one subscribers.

I already pay google hundreds of dollars a year, and have done so for years. then over the last 2 yesr they slowly started rolling out intrusive ads into my mobile Gmail app.

It was the final straw for me. I’ve started slowing migrating my email off Gmail, but my goodness is that ever a slow and painful process.

None of those give any connections to the drop in sales and then being inclusive.

The whole economy has been slowing down and people have less spare money. Did you know that when people have less money to spend the first thing they stop spending money on are luxuries.

Bud light and comics are doing just fine.

Who told you otherwise? You might need to reevaluate your news sources.

What players do off the ice is irrelevant, what matters here is that there are teams that still want to do pride warmups, but they can’t.

You haven’t yet given a good reason for why teams shouldn’t be able to use pride related jerseys during warmups, and that’s because there really isn’t a good reason.

Good news, this shit has zero impact on the game you’re trying to watch.

Which is why banning it is so stupid. If you’re such a huge bigot that being reminded that people who are different from you exist, and that reminder is enough to ruin hockey for you then that’s on you.

Here in Canada it isn’t granular, every alert is sent at the “presidential” level

The emergency alert system isn’t meant for informational updates.

Using it to broadcast updates on when power is going to be restored isn’t what it’s meant for

What emergency safety features? Making a 911 call?

The last time a major weather event happened it was really hard to get updated information, the power was out, internet was down. I only had an old battery powered radio that still had an FM tuner.

As time passes fewer and fewer devices have the FM tuners, and it’s less and less likely I have spare working batteries for them. A phone on the other hand, I’m already setup with backup batteries I can use to recharge it, I don’t need to be as “prepared” to be able to stay up to date if it could still pick up the radio

He’s a dem who doesn’t seem to share any views with other Dems.

He singlehandedly delayed or outright prevented many large bills from going through.

When Bidens term is looked back upon, Manchin will be the force that prevented Biden from pushing though some of his more progressive plans.

This is very region dependent. But here in Canada we have 25-30 year mortgages broken up into 5 year terms, every 5 years we renegotiate our interest rate and have the option to switch lenders.

If your house value were to drop 75%, it might make it harder to switch lenders (does a bank want to lend you more than what the house is now worth).

I think there is an escape hatch here where if you stay with the same lender they will still accept you, but I honestly don’t know much about the specifics.

Things would need to get pretty bad for this to actually matter (and I suspect the government might step in if it became widespread)

It may have been great, but not in a sustainable way.

For Epic those exclusive contracts were part of their advertising budget.

I honestly wonder how many indie games that started as an epic exclusive are still around today because of that exclusivity deal or if they only survived because eventually the exclusivity expire and they were able to list on other platforms

First past the post incentiveses two party systems, which is why people are desperate for ranked ballot, or something that can allow other parties to exist.

But it clearly says “Black Lives Matter” not “Only Black Lives Matter”.

Fixed that for you.
