We got one. it’s absolutely awesome. My only complaints are the automatic seat changes not occurring until after I’m wedged into my short wife’s seat and select myself as the driver, and the soft button selection that controls both radio and AC. The number of times I’ve frozen my butt off instead of turning down the volume is too high.

Other than that, it’s fast, very spacious backseat, great amenities (cooling/heated front and heated back), and has great range, and rapid recharge capabilities (20->80% in 18 minutes with a fast charger). We call it the spaceship.

The states are not liberal or conservative, it’s the fraction of rural/suburban to urban areas. It’s extremely rare to find a left leaning rural population and similarly difficult to find a very right urban one. Find a place that suites you, but keep in mind your hood’s politics will largely be controlled by population density engaging-data.com/election-population-density/

Only about 15% of PBS and 1% of NPR come from federal funding. The vast majority of both come directly from community, non-profit, and corporate support. The Voice of America is the only state funded media.

There is a separate discussion about whether or not that is actually good for a society, or just adds a path for state-influenced propaganda.

Climate change is real and really fucking shit up (am an Earth Scientist), but I’d be more worried about a global nuclear incident.

Climate change may do us in, but in all likelihood it will just increase the stresses on food and water supplies. Humans are extremely adaptive and will likely persist unless there is a cataclysmic event that kills nearly all food for decades or more. Scarcity of resources will dictate just how populous we will be 20, 10, 1, 0.1, 0.001 billion?

We’ve survived the Pleistocene when the earth was about 6°C cooler. We expanded greatly just after and have continued extremely well through the Holocene, making it our own (now Anthropocene). We’ve inextricably changed the environment for the worse, but it alone will probably not be the action that wipes us out.

This is just a nieve view. Africa is a diverse and very large continent, with many different lands.
Sure some countries have fantastic and stable agricultural lands, particularly near the equator. Other countries suffer large multi year droughts that can rapidly and negatively impact large populations. These populations then heavily depend on imports, and relief from a country like Ukraine, Russia, or the US that all make easily transportable grain.

The US has had a similar problem during the dust bowl of the 1930s. This is not an African only problem.

We are undergoing Lemmy's own Cambrian Explosion at the moment. Massive growth and diversification of the platform.
