Another point is that cars, car infrastructure, and car oriented development is one of the single most wasteful ways to use land. Building smarter cities with alternative transit systems, mixed use areas, and actually using all 3 dimensions like many newer cities in China could protect so much habitat from needlessly being destroyed. There’s hardly any truly wild land left on the east coast, it’s hard to tell what things used to look like now that practically everything is covered in suburbs and strip malls.

Plus you can probably run stock Android on the op6 if you wanted to run Android 13

I can see this going wrong with steam proton if each install gets it’s own wine config, simply reinstalling or updating might look like a new machine

It’s honestly sad that these people would rather hold on to the little power they have than retire and spend the little time they have left with family.

This sounds like a slam dunk separation of church and state case. I’ve seen a lot of bs from the LDS since moving to Utah, from liquor licenses to psychiatric care, etc. I do not trust them to responsibly hand out welfare to those that need it. If they were giving out these funds directly to the state with no strings attached, fine, but it appears that they don’t and they are in control of how the aid is given, and maybe even who receives it which is hugely problematic even if they help non-mormons.

Anyone defending this as “fiscally responsible” are idiots that have no idea how this church works or how our country was meant to work.

I’m glad to hear that’s not the case! I was speaking on my own experience living out west in the US where there is still a lot of public land. The attitude in the western US is unfortunately pretty bad. They want more and more public land to develop into low density single family home markets like Phoenix. It’s pretty infuriating hearing the locals moan about BLM and concoct conspiracies about how they stole land from them and show zero interest in the health of the local wildlife.

There’s still quite a bit of untouched land in Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Navajo, basically anywhere that has large amounts of BLM land, but this unfortunately is getting pushback from locals who want everything to be developed.

Yeah I can’t help but feel so frustrated seeing people develop places like this. In order to support wildlife they need valleys as well as mountains. You can’t just build on every strip of usable land because a lot of animals need to graze and nest there too.

I moved to Utah and a lot of towns cities straddle mountains like this where the town is in the valley next to the mountains. It’s very cool, but Id take forests over a view. I find being surrounded by woods much more comforting than high desert with a view but I guess that just depends on where you grew up.

I agree it’s not practical, but they don’t necessarily need that output all the time. They could charge extra for faster charging and just make it so while the fast chargers aren’t being used they charge batteries/capacitors for the fast charging stalls. But even with this, the fast chargers would probably always never be available in urban areas, and this would lead to a lot of waste too if nobody is fast charging.
