For example, a typical medium sized family car will create around 24 tonnes of CO2 during its life cycle, while an electric vehicle (EV) will produce around 18 tonnes over its life. For a battery EV, 46% of its total carbon footprint is generated at the factory.

So EVs are a small improvement. Since I enjoy older cars and my privacy a lot more, I’m gonna keep enjoying them and not let manafacturers ram EVs down my throat, especially when a lot of them are hideous SUVs.

I read up a little about why people dislike systemD

I feel like this isn’t the right way to research something. Is there any reasons it doesn’t work for your needs?

Don’t use kubernetes.

Creates endless pain.

After they dragged him out he appeared to be on the phone to someone to make them aware of the situation. With the amount of police brutality and racism in America I don’t blame that reaction. Their actions here only justify it, too.
