It's more like 50-60% and it depends on who's doing the breathing - the vast majority of O2 generated by phytoplankton doesn't become atmospheric O2 - it stays in the ocean. So yeah, us terrestrials would see terrestrial 02 producers as our glam rock stars.

There's no way they could be lying, right?

This one right here. A) They already work at this crazy abstracted layer and B) They are often ... yeah... um, either not competent or out of touch - Nepotism and cronyism has run wild in corporate America at least.

My partner and I often joke about this - That LLMs would do a better job than current execs. We both work at a layer where we still have to do work based on very specific, rigid criteria (I'm in systems, she's in contracts), but still both high enough that we have contact with C-suite. It's bonkers how crazy and not-good these people are, and we've each worked for a few companies at the layer we are at... it's fairly consistent.

Edit: Just as an anecdote: One of my companies brought on a C-suite who came from another large company and another one before that and another one before that. He was terrible, but this was expected - his whole schtick is to come into that position in companies and figure out the most cutthroat ways to outsource, which leaves those departments in massive disarray but makes the company more money in the short term, then he jettisons away to another company. It's bad out there. Oh right, and he proselytized Christianity in meetings... that was weird.

RAM manufacturers were colluding to keep prices high, as I recall. There were convictions.

Edit: Back when governments actually did anything about all this bullshit. Ah those were the days.

Edit edit: Hooooly cripes. This should just about tell you all you need to know about how shitty corpos are: On 5 April 2006, Sun Woo Lee, Senior Manager of DRAM at Samsung Electronics, entered into a plea bargain with the US Government for his involvement in the price fixing conspiracy. Following the plea agreement he was sentenced to 8 months in prison and fined US$250,000. Lee was subsequently promoted to President of Samsung Germany in 2009, and then President of Samsung Europe in 2014.

Conviction = promotion if you made the company money

US auto manufacturer software development is widely considered to be top-notch.

/s just in case

That they're not even on the Trump/Epstein Island leaderboard

AI slop

If phytoplankton didn't exist, the things removing pure 02 from the ocean through respiration would die. In which case, the ocean would reach O2 solubility equilibrium at a fraction of a percent of atmospheric O2 and would stop uptaking it because there's nothing left to continue converting it to CO2.

Misconception. Range dropoff is not dramatic and in fact is not terribly noticeable over the normal lifespan of the car.

Source: I have driven the same electric car for 10 years with negligible range loss. In south Florida, which is not a kind place to be for a battery.

Edit: Unless you have an old school Leaf where they opted to not use actve cooling, which very much does thrash batteries. Note that this is a relatively rare design.

Subarus are actually one of the worst-case vehicles for this. I really don't understand the love for those things.

My partner has one and with the 'need to replace every tire if you replace one' thing, ads showing up in the infotainment center, the battery dying if the key fob is stored too close to the car (real stuff, it's legit written in the manual not to store the key near the car because of this, ask me how we know), she's so fed up with it.

Edit: To clarify the 'one of the worst case', other AWD/4WD vehicles have higher tolerances for size mismatch than Subarus. Like, I think literally every other major manufacturer is better about this.

Ah 'both sides'. Yes. The quantity of countries per president doesn't matter.

Yes, it's bad that other presidents authorized attacks on other countries that they shouldn't have. But also yes, Trump is objectively the greater evil.

If we had proper regulation, there would not have been 167000lbs of this shit to recall.

This is not 'oh, the regulation works or it doesn't', humans like to do that a lot for some reason, this whole 'it's either one thing or the other'. Nuance and gradients are a real thing. This would not have happened in a robust regulatory environment. The one we have operates on shoe strings.

Edit: 167000lbs at minimum. As another poster pointed out, this is just what was found. Which is like finding a roach in your house.

Wellll... yes, but actually maybe. Nvidia support on Linux is there, but it's essentially black box drivers and therefore hard to address issues around them when they arise, and they do. It's a lot more finicky.

Edit: Plus, Nvidia drops Linux support for older video cards that still work (like the 10 series), so the distros effectively need to drop support as well.

As long as they are within 1/4" diameter variance this is true, otherwise you FUBAR the viscous coupling over time. Which is why most mechanics default to 'just replace all of them'.

I smell a new Dungeon Crawler Carl announcer.

Every little bit counts.

Or that even if you order directly from their site, the order is still fulfilled by Amazon. My partner actually don't try any more because we've recently given up after trying for too long, paying more, and still ending up giving money to Amazon.

Don't fucking blame us for billionaires rigging the system.

You sure some bean-pusher didn't just find a few CAD files of previous models, think to themselves, 'This is easy, we can save money by not having designers' then just merged the files without reviewing them and pushed it down the pipe?

I've also had a great experience with Nobara. I did try Bazzite, but the immutable nature of it stopped me from doing the things I'm used on Linux. However, I've got my partner on Nobara as well, and she's verrry much not techy and still having a great experience.
