tomatolung@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Boeing begins flying back planes refused by Chinese airlinesEnglish7·3 months agoYea, an area where the unintended consequences are actually going to push China domestically built airlines to be competitive with Airbus and Boeing, even if they lack the range and efficiency.
tomatolung@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How are my fellow Americans preparing for the upcoming apocalypse?81·3 months agoIf Lemmy has a best of, this should be submitted. Or maybe we just need to create a new one called hardest life lesson.
Seal, YTDLnis, Newpipe, Tubular, freetube, etc… So many alternative options.
tomatolung@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Tesla sales plummet amid Elon Musk backlashEnglish4·4 months agoYour caredge article gives context for actual numbers rather then percent. Tesla sells between 110-170k per quarter in the US. It’s down 11% in January in the US according to Business Insider. While still selling 35,000 more vehicles then Ford in that month.
Where as Germany sold 1,429 Tesla vehicles in February, Australia sold 1,592, and France 2,395.
So the scale of sales is vastly different. This is not to say it’s not having an impact, but to dig into a percentage or statistics. (Mind you I wouldn’t use percentage in this post, except I can’t find the month on month numbers without paying for it, so I’ll wait for it to come out in future reports.)
tomatolung@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Antarctic scientists plead for help after ‘sexual assault and threats’ by colleagueEnglish29·4 months agoI believe it’s a remote station/environment issue based on my working in Antarctic and on Research ships.
NSF finally saw the light after it was forced down their throat, and they still haven’t resolved it.
tomatolung@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Antarctic scientists plead for help after ‘sexual assault and threats’ by colleagueEnglish19·4 months agoAntarctic builds are costly, difficult, and filled with challenges you don’t see in daily life, so while that might seem like a simple idea, it’s about half as hard as as putting it on the space station, with a 10th or less the budget.

tomatolung@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•China hits Lockheed Martin and Raytheon with export ban after US arms sales to TaiwanEnglish141·6 months agoI think you misunderstand the complexity of the situation. The US would go to war on behalf of our economic interest and allies depending on the leadership, but not likely initiate itat the moment. China is under immense pressure of a different type and may use military might in the future to change it’s power, but both have challenge which make your statement too black and white to be valid. It’s more gray.
The following are all Foreign Affair, but give good long form context to current challenges.

tomatolung@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you need to get off your chest before the New Year?2·6 months agoIndeed! Find yourself. Only then can you really connect with others authentically.
tomatolung@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you need to get off your chest before the New Year?1·6 months agoDisagree. It’s a tool that in it’s current form changes our way of processing and way of perceiving. It literally changes the way your brain seeks pleasure as well as intakes facts. One that individuals have to have a the money, knowledge, and social/legal/cultural power to take control of otherwise it will modify your decision making in such a way that you don’t feel, see, or believe there is a change. It’s so ubiquitous, pervasive, and disruptive, that contact and at least minimal acceptance is required to function in the global society.
The isolation, cognitive disrupted, physiological change that the internet has wrought through the smartphone, social media, and the apps is huge and yet not well discussed in anything but academic studies and other rarified forums.
tomatolung@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you need to get off your chest before the New Year?1·6 months agoFair point, well played.
Just because history is idealized doesn’t mean it was actually better. Hans Rosling said it really well describing his standard of living improvement.
With that said, the world has not adapted to technology in it’s current incarnation yet, along side the other challenges it’s a tough world for all but the very wealthy and even they are showing signs of increased anxiety, stress, and depression.
Being ruled by our evolved cognitive biases through our technology, requires external regulation before the vast majority of the humanity can cope with the change.
tomatolung@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you need to get off your chest before the New Year?341·6 months agoI’m over this technological improvement of our lives, and it’s manipulate existence. My hope is that we and I can push fucking phones down and actually connect with each other again. We aren’t getting out of this economic takeover unless we actually talk to each other like the adults we are supposed to be. Be passionate, but listen. Act with compassion, but defy the fascist ideals. Realize that we are biased and make mistakes, but can learn from those mistakes… Even when as you get older.
