One way or another you need grid-scale turbines to maintain grid frequency. Solar power can't set frequency and wind power is too variable, so power grids use some sort of turbine to do it.

Nuclear reactors are also necessary to generate things like medical isotopes and tritium for industrial processes, and fusion research. Someone, somewhere on Earth needs to keep their fission reactors going.

Just about every major advance in technology like this enhanced the power of the capitalists who owned it and took power away from the workers who were displaced.

This is just going to cause people to switch to other DNS resolvers and then the governments will lose even more control over internet traffic.

lol but seriously this is the first time I'm not buying a Nintendo console on launch in a long time. Their prices here in Canada were already absurd but this gen is just unreal.

Can confirm, have boomer parents who wonder wtf is wrong with everyone just freely giving up all their personal data to the people they spent 15 years being drilled not to give their information to.

I think well adjusted people participating in their communities and meaningful action are not burning cars.

Do you buy Nestle products? Do you buy anything from Amazon? Do you drive an ICE car and purchase gas for it?

If you do any of these things you're an evil piece of shit Nazi and deserve to have your possessions burned to nothing (per your logic)

The car still has utility to the person who owns it. It's "real" value is irrelevant to most people so long as it does what it was supposed to do when purchased.

Once you purchase the vehicle, the damage is already done. There is nothing to gain from busting up cars people already purchased.
