To see my enemies crushed. To see them driven before me. And to see more hybrid and electric vehicles on the road.
Genghis, we've talked about this before: you can't snap arrows and push EV's at the same time -- there needs to be a transition period.
That we're able to dodge the incoming wave of fascism and peacefully skim board into progressive politics.
The US Government will remove their heads from their asses and work on fixing things before it's too late.
Ideally by regulating the shit out of corporations, and dismantling fraudulent 501(c)(3)s like the Heritage Foundation.
Just having better options for the next presidential election would be a step in the right direction.
Hopefully more states start to heavily push the Alternative or Ranked Choice voting systems.
There are entrenched entities heavily invested, literally and figuratively, in aligning the government with their interests, and against the interests of the majority. Their primary methods are propagandizing the gullible to vote for the representatives they have invested in, and fomenting apathy in those they cannot propagandize.
The solution is two-fold: supporting candidates aligned with your interests throughout their career from local elections up to more powerful ones, and voting in every election for the front-runner who is less detrimental to those interests.
If you think the current government has their heads in their asses, it's a good bet that this two-fold solution takes the form of voting for progressives in local elections and greater primaries, and showing up to vote for whichever of the front-runner candidates is comparatively more progressive.
Voting for a candidate that is progressive but vastly unlikely to win is counterproductive. Not voting because none of the likely candidates is sufficiently progressive is counterproductive.
If everyone understood this, and showed up to vote, within a few election cycles we'd have a government composed of un-assed heads.
This was literally in the post under this one: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lithium-metal-battery-with-over-500-Wh-kg-developed.862073.0.html
I just want reliable long-term storage. Even if it's a trickle of power coming out, I want it to be reliable and large, so that I can just throw energy at it when I don't need it and can rely on it when I do.
That's energy density, not power density. https://www.energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Energy_density_vs_power_density
If a loaf sized battery could hold 100 miles, I'd put 100 of them in a car and only recharge them every 10000 miles.
I'd be okay with how long it would take to charge.
The people in power actually taking climate change seriously, and not just in a tragedy of the commons type of way. I mean actually working together to slow it down or reverse it.
Proof for extraterrestrial life. It doesn’t have to be aliens in spaceships or even a transmission. I would be fine with microscopic organisms on Ganymede or Europa.
Without giving too much away, in the book/tv series The Expanse, signs of alien life are found on Phoebe. The books are most excellent and reportedly the tv series is as well, but I'm only on season 2.
Same, on waiting on NASA to bring back the water samples from mars, hoping for life to be found on mars
I hope to see my own financial stability in the future. I hope things change for the better and there are lots and lots of job openings for people, no more recessions.
I don’t know you or your situation, stranger, but it can happen as soon as you’re ready.
That's a part of what I mean. Why make it one thing as opposed to another thing? Not everyone is blessed to not have indecision.
I'm here to make a flippant sarcastic comment about us already having fusion, and that all we need is enough solar panels to capture it. I thank you for your time, and yes I will go eff myself.
The Star Trek timeline, I just want a holodeck, but they just keep hawking this VR/AR crap :(
It's gonna be locked down. Everyone wants a holodeck, but imagine there are so many rules and regs on what you can and can't do in one that it's not even worth it?
Imagine playing GTA, but:
Would that be a GTA you would actually play?
If anyone ever invents a synthesizer somehow capitalism will fina way to ruin it. It would be lovely to live in a post scarcity society though
