Pure aluminium is only used when you need to have very little reactivity.

General construction steel has >98% weight iron. Around the same as most aluminium alloys.

I think there was a Renault that worked like this. I think the main issue is that you need a decently sized battery that can supply enough power or else the ICE needs to start every time you hit the gas pedal like was the case with the older Prius models and then you might as well connect it to the wheels and you can have a smaller electric motor.

But batteries keep improving and you can pull more power per kWh now. Maybe with solid state batteries this power train could become the more affordable option.

There was a scooter sharing company that drove around, swapping the batteries. It went out of business and now there are only the Bird style scooters.

If there were battery swapping stations, I'd definitely by me a bike.

My money is on MusX

That is the case in Belgium.

It is not enforced tho. If you didn't register as a donor, they will still ask the relatives, especially of they need to keep the body on life support after the person is declared dead.

The other side has a ditch that might be an open sewer. Those need to be mowed.

Cause selling new games is more profitable.

If a new games costs €60 and older games €5 or less (which would be a lot less on streaming services), they'd have to sell at least 12 old games for every new game they sell less cause of this change. And if gamers spend more time on older games, it's highly possible that they'd buy, even just a single game, less.

It's the same with movies or TV. They would only loose money if they make the whole archive available as there is just so much of it that some of the new things could become irrelevant.

Not that I'm against archiving, but it is caused by the creative sector having to have to make money, which isn't easy for smaller players, and greed.

Most isn't the right word. In countries where the government doesn't or can't keep the cost is meat down, a lot of people don't east meet daily as it's more expensive than other food sources. Gigantic subsidies for meat and diary exist in the US, EU, China, Brasil,...

I start writing the implementation and get the "variable not defined" error and then let the ide add the declaration. It's less keys to press and misspell.

I do like subtites almost everywhere, but hate these slides.

Maybe I also want adjustable playback speed, fast forward and readable high contrast subtites in my real live playback.

It's working great. I only can't get multi language and the emoji dictionary to work. The help page says I need to change the spell checker in the android settings but I can't find that option 🤔
