I'm saying that scenario has a low probability
Wikipedia has a great image of orientations on the dates of Saturn's opposition from 2001 thru 2029 (copied below). It really shows what's going on and the approximate timing of visibility of the rings as they change from a Northern to Southern view from Earth's perspective. Between March and November of 2025 the rings will be in the least visible orientations.
Rivian will probably be bought out by a larger company if they fail to scale, so that going zero possibility seems low.
Tesla did change the world for the better. Elon took the financial rewards and is using them to offset all of the improvements with catalyzing social issues into worse social issues.
Slow single leg heel drops.
Fore foot raises with your back and butt against the wall and feet about the length of your foot away from the wall.
The above are preventative strength exercises that should be done when you aren't currently feeling shin splint pain.

Reduce how long and how often you run for a while after your pain stops.
Once Mexico has manufacturing plants building Chinese badged vehicles, I think the dominoes will start to fall. Right now , it seems that Mexico is just importing cars assembled in China.
Something like not registering the car in Texas so it technically isn't imported. This is similar to all the people in the northeast with cars registered in Florida to avoid higher insurance premiums, but they're playing games with federal laws instead of state laws.
I'm not sure why you were banned, I was just annoyed about reading a screenshot of text.
It's different in my view. As the mods and admins are experiencing a loosely coordinated brigade of vitriolic messages. It's no surprise to me that they responded by filtering out those who are being persistent in bad faith communication. But they have in fact been receptive to improving the bot based on feedback. They have not, however, instantly determined and implemented any improvements.
Reviewing the situation as an outsider. It seems that the mods and admins are not wrong and those complaining are ill-informed about many aspects of what they're complaining about and are being belligerent in their ignorance. But even if they were 100% informed and correct about Media Bias Fact Check, their behavior has been out of line.
The boost app developers really should fix that. Spoilers are working the vast majority of lemmy frontend UIs.
The level of vitriol that the banned users have been spewing seems like harassment of the mods.
To be honest, none of what I’m seeing in these comment seems worthy of a ban.
I don't agree with this. It seems like people are harassing the mods for the mods having a different opinion. These people don't seem interested in any counterpoints or evidence that undermines their opinions which don't seem to take relevant facts into account.
Lemmy provides for inadequate moderation tools and the developers of Lemmy don't see adding additional tools or improvements to existing tools to be a high priority, so there's not going to be more transparency from anyone running a Lemmy instance or moderating a lemmy community.

I copied it for you:
Link to the study, because the fuckers never do: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2405334121 Here's what I was looking for:
In all studies, we made certain that the participants and the people in the images were from the same nationality, since cultural familiarity is critical for the face–name matching effect to occur.
Additionally, this survey was conducted by Israelis, and since it says it was translated into English in the paper, I assume it was conducted in Hebrew. They say "socioeconomic cues such as age and ethnicity are experimentally controlled", but I don't see that they explain how. My suspicion is that the results are affected by non-facial cues like clothing, hairstyle, facial hair, and indeed age. For example, if I showed you a picture of an old woman and asked if her name was Doris, Helen, Megan, or Kayley, which do you think it is? If I showed you a picture of a guy with short dark hair, possibly graying, beard stubble, and a collared denim shirt, is his name Edgar, Clarence, Emil, or James? Further, since they did some kind of control over the prompts, I have to assume they presented faces and names the respondents would be familiar with, meaning this does not necessarily hold outside of Israel and Israelis (and I assume mostly people ethnically Israeli Jewish). This reinforces my belief that their methodology is flawed, and while people might look like their names, their faces themselves do not change to fit, rather there's a correlation with other factors like age (i.e. name popularity over time), grooming style, and so on.
How is it not? Energy storage for use later in a different location from where it was collected seems like the purpose of a battery to me.
Terraform is making the claim right now. By eliminating inverters and loss from long distance transmission lines there are opportunities to make solar installation that's not near existing infrastructure to be economically more viable.
Aircraft and shipping would be two very important circumstances.
Because the battery tech you're thinking about isn't the most efficient in all cases. Using hydrocarbons as a battery can be more efficient depending on circumstances.
This seems to validate Terraform's approach of synthesizing hydrocarbons from PV power sources where there's more distance between the production of PV power and it's use. I hope they can figure out methenol synthesis instead of methane for this purpose.

With costs fast declining, sodium-ion batteries look set to dominate the future of long duration energy storage, finds an AI-based analysis that predicts technological breakthroughs based on global patent data.

Passkeys allow for a simple, yet extremely secure, sign-in experience. Learn more about what they are and how they work in this article.
A tech service named Clerk put together a nice breakdown of how Passkeys work on a technical level. I've found many other explanations too focused on technical definitions rather than a conceptional overview or so simplistic they were unhelpful for me. This one feels like a nice balance between not enough information and too much.
The article is broken down into the sections below: >- What are passkeys? >- How does public key crypto work? >- A practical use of public-key cryptography >- How are passkeys more secure than a username and password? >- Clerk supports passkeys [this last section is irrelevant to anyone not interested in the service provided by Clerk]
Clerk provides some sort of user management service; I don't know nor care if it's any good.

The Toronto Maple Leafs' recent focus on 'grit' is proving costly to addressing their depth scoring issues during the 2023-24 season.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with gritty players, but those players need to perform on top of their physical play. Skilled grit is a coveted asset in the league, with players like Timo Meier, J.T. Miller, Tom Wilson, and the Tkachuk brothers revered for holding their own physically while providing offensive as well. > > > > That’s where Toronto has gone wrong. The grit they have added and targeted over the past few seasons has been somewhat skillless.
