@laurits_eriksen @KatyKray73 You didn’t even mention that with today’s technology we are already able to recycle 90% the lithium and other materials in used batteries. Meanwhile we don’t recycle any of the oil.
English

Energy expert Dr. Lars Schernikau: It sounds simple… until you do the math.
• 1 GWh battery = 700,000 tons of mined materials
• Takes 450 GWh to build (450x its capacity)
• Stores as much as 400 tons of coal
Hours of storage. Massive mining, degradation & risks.
This doesn’t fix intermittency, it multiplies the destruction.

@influenya @end3of6days9 @kittenaround_51 Its the fact we are a "first world nation" of why it exist. Cuba isnt having a good abundance problem...

Oh yep, I worked salad bar at a grocery store and it really opened my eyes to the sheer amount of food that went to waste, so after 36 hours if a salad was still on the—sales—floor it would have to be thrown out and I don’t just mean in its packaging dumped out so maybe someone could eat it, nope we had to open the containers and dump their contents right out because if a homeless person came by and found it in the container, ate it and got sick the store could—or would—be held liable and potentially even sued even though the person found the salad in the trash!
We threw out hundreds of pounds of not just the prepackaged salads we made in store, but also meats and cheeses from the deli section, produce that had a small blemish (e.g. a bruised apple, berries that had even just one green one in the box, pineapples that didn’t have tall or green enough leaves on the top, avocados that were too ripe, etc.) it was insane the amount of food waste we threw away and that was just the store I worked at!
We could have fed an entire public school breakfast, lunch, 2 snacks and dinner FOR FREE with the sheer amount of food that was being wasted! Working at that grocery store opened my eyes to a problem that shouldn’t even exist in any first world nation. Somehow it is cheaper for the grocery stores to throw out thousands of pounds of food than to sell it at a discounted rate or even give it to community centres, homeless shelters, school food programs!
English

This former grocery store worker shares what she learned on the job, she says we actually have more than enough food to feed everyone, but feeding people isn’t as profitable as selling it.
She explains “shrink” — all the damaged, expired, overstocked, or “ugly” produce that stores throw away instead of discounting or donating — and how they write it off as a tax loss while locking dumpsters or even destroying perfectly edible food.
I don’t know if we truly have enough to feed everyone like she says, but I do know for a fact that grocery stores operate exactly the way she describes. My boyfriend is a butcher at our local store, and this is precisely what happens there. I’ve even asked him if he could bring home some of the bones they throw in the garbage, and he told me it’s not allowed.
Have you ever seen this kind of food waste at your local grocery store, or heard similar stories from someone who works there?
English

@ImpairedNPC @GAFollowers Incorrect, in fact most of these data centers get 20 plus year tax deferments in order for the locals to incentivize building there. So investments arent seen for decades.
English

@GAFollowers The datacenter revenue probably generates more tax revenue than all of Fayetteville combined
English

Residents in Fayetteville, GA realized a nearby data center was using massive amounts of water after their home water pressure started dropping.
The facility used nearly 30M gallons of water without proper authorization while locals were being told to conserve water.
The company says it was an “honest mistake.”

English

This guy called 911 for a welfare check on his own 4 year old.
Deputy shows up, runs his ID, and arrests him on the spot as an illegal alien.
Body cam caught the whole arrest. He is now in ICE custody.
This is exactly what happens when local law enforcement actually works with ICE instead of shielding criminals.
Great job @GovRonDeSantis. Florida is the model for immigration enforcement in the USA.
English

Scamming the system? 😂 Have you ever lived in an apartment complex? One place that I lived in actually painted a curb red while I was inside of my apartment and towed my car while the paint was still wet.😂
It sounds like you have some personal issues that you have to work out. Did a black guy get un off with your girl or something?
English

A woman parked in the wrong spot at an apartment complex. The parking spot owner complained to the facilities manager, who called a towing company.
The tow truck arrived 2 hours earlier than the agreed time. After some arguments, calls, and denials, the car was released to her without any towing fee.

@GSCollins99 @Cjpearson @GovernorKayIvey Someone will need to sue to force them to follow the ruling and constitution.. they will proceed with the racists unconstitutional districts, then get sued, but it wont change the current election.. only force the change for the next one..
English

🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court just gave Alabama the green light to redraw its congressional districts in light of the Callais decision.
It's time for one of America’s best Governors-- @GovernorKayIvey-- to end the racial gerrymandering and flip Alabama from 5R-2D to 7R-0D.

English

@HipHopThinker @Cjpearson @GovernorKayIvey @GovKemp One can only hope.. we want our two non racists seats.
English

@Cjpearson @GovernorKayIvey Is Georgia next.
I know @GovKemp does not want that smoke,
but that smoke may want him.
English

@RDuke437979 @Cjpearson @GovernorKayIvey One.. one fucking additional seat. All this boo hooing over ONE fucking seat.
English

@Cjpearson @GovernorKayIvey What are the new possible gain/loss numbers if Alabama moves ahead with this?
English

@JUSTcatmeme Cost pops a 3rd mortgage down payment. Well worth it if ya ask him.
English

@JustinBrady @stevepcshotmai1 @aakashgupta @grok It hasn't, more people go to the doctor or get surgery by a wide margin than see a chiropractor.
Still, surgery is way more likely to harm you then a chiropractic visit by a long shot. But theyre also doing way more invasive things like opening the body up. Apples and oranges.
English


Caitlin Jensen, 28, walked into a Georgia chiropractor in June 2022. She came out with four dissected arteries, a stroke, cardiac arrest, and a traumatic brain injury. It took her nine months to say "Mom" again.
She had come in for lower back pain.
Your brain runs on four arteries. Two carotids in front, two vertebrals in back. The vertebrals don't run free. They thread up through narrow bone tunnels inside each cervical vertebra, C6 to C1, then loop around the top vertebra in a tight horizontal curve called the V3 segment.
When a chiropractor performs a high-velocity rotational thrust on the upper neck, V3 gets stretched and snapped against bone. The inner artery wall tears. Blood seeps between the layers. A flap forms. Flow blocks, or clots break off and travel to the brainstem.
In Caitlin's case all four vessels tore. Paramedics worked 12 minutes restoring her pulse. Surgeons placed a stent in one artery and repaired what they could in the rest. The brain injury came from the bleed that followed the stroke that followed the dissection.
One in 20,000 spinal manipulations triggers this. Arterial dissection causes 2% of strokes overall but 8 to 25% of strokes in patients under 45. In 55% of cases symptoms start within 12 hours of the adjustment. No screening test identifies who's at risk beforehand.
The American Chiropractic Association's own spokesman told the New York Times patients should get vascular scans before neck manipulation. Almost none do. Informed consent matching a surgical risk disclosure isn't standard. The average victim is 40.
Caitlin's back pain lived four vertebrae below the artery the thrust tore.

@LionHearted76 @SirBylHolte They can help customers.. you just arent the one they care about helping.. get it yet whitey?
English

@SirBylHolte I felt the same way when I needed help at stores and asked store workers with name tags, and they said, “No speak English.”
At Home Goods I asked 3 workers who all said they didn’t speak English.
Why have they been hired if they can’t help customers?
Completely unacceptable!
English

I just booked a round trip to the liquor store.
My Lyft driver looked like a white MAGA woman so I thought, “great someone sane.”
But when I said “go right instead of left, it’s faster, she replied : “No ingles.”
My heart sunk.
But because I had high school Spanish, I said “à la derecha” and pointed.
She ignored me and tried to go left.
I said no and pointed right.
She pointed at the GPS.
I pointed right.
She finally did what I said but then she almost took the wrong fork and I had to yell NO NO NO and pointed frantically.
When we finally arrived at the destination, I showed her my phone where it said IN SPANISH “this is a round trip.”
She nodded, but when I came out ONE MINUTE LATER, she was gone.
So I furiously changed the tip to ZERO and gave her one star with complaints about her attitude and how she abandoned me.
But I just gotta wonder:
Why is Lyft employing people who can’t understand important directions when we tell them?
Would Lyft Mexico hire me to drive their customers knowing I couldn’t understand them?
Does it make ANY SENSE?

@SockDem_ @G_Gozerian1 @nthonyLewis @DangerousThinkg Because theyre southern states with a higher population of.. wait for it.. blacks who seem to have a tendency to commit violent crimes.
English

@G_Gozerian1 @nthonyLewis @DangerousThinkg Why do blue cities in red states perform worse than blue cities in blue states then
English

@DaveWBrowning @SwissLiberty @DangerousThinkg @grok Also all democrat majority, and often super majority counties/cities.
English

@SwissLiberty @DangerousThinkg @grok I strongly suspected the answer. They are the most populated counties, and also have more murders than other area based on population.
I was curious on the breakdown of those two factors.
English

Kinda respect what just happened
My internet bill tripled this month because some 5 year promo ended
I called asking if they could bring it back, they said no
So I hit them with the “alright then I’ll just cancel”
Lady immediately goes “sounds good, let’s get that cancelled for you right now”
Completely called my bluff, and I went into pussy mode.
folded instantly and will now be staying a Spectrum customer

@Cha43147R @notcapnamerica Hey bot ,
This closes loopholes that both the Fair housing and Civil Roghts do not specifically address, such as allowing private groups or "member-only" orgs to create new whites-only housing communities .
English

Quick question just for funsies
What party did the 100 people who voted against it belong to?
My Mixtapez@mymixtapez
Pennsylvania bans whites-only housing by a single vote, with the final vote coming in at 101–100.
