No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How is Russia not Financially Crippled?
2·2 years agoNo they aren’t. They have similar wealth to other Caribbean nations, being richer than places like Jamaica and Haiti but poorer than Trinidad or the Dominican Republic. In global terms they rank 83rd, so above average, and they have a relatively high development index, I.e. pretty good health care and education. They might seem poor to you, but they’re actually richer than most of world.

Technology@lemmy.world•EV Batteries Are Dangerous to Repair. Here’s Why Mechanics Are Doing So AnywayEnglish
21·2 years agoEVs are still much cheaper to run than ICEs though. Yes the battery is an expensive replacement but maintenance is still much cheaper because they don’t have gearboxes, clutches, turbo chargers, catalytic converters, particulate filters, spark plugs, engine oil, timing belts, head gaskets, cylinders, exhausts, etc. etc.
Megahard Pear.

World News@lemmy.world•Revealed: Sellafield nuclear site [UK] has leak that could pose risk to publicEnglish
122·2 years agoProblems like this are just handwaved away because nuclear waste could in theory be safely disposed of. In the cases where is hasn’t been the pro nuclear guys just say “well if they did it properly it wouldn’t be an issue”, which might be true but if countries like the UK, US and Germany have had issues, you have to ask if its really realistic to assume that the problem will always be dealt with properly.
The other answer is some future tech reactor that hasn’t been built on any real world scale that runs on nuclear waste and produces none. Great idea in theory but how does it compare with renewables in terms of cost?

World News@lemmy.world•Falkland's sovereignty 'not up for discussion' Britain warns after new Argentinian president vows to 'get them back'English
193·2 years agoIf you think the Falklands should be part of Argentina, logically Hawaii should be part of Kiribati. Alaska should be Russian/Canadian, etc etc. If you think about it for more than a minute it becomes clear that geographical location is not the only factor or even the most important one.

Games@lemmy.world•The Weekly 'What are you playing?' DiscussionEnglish
1·2 years agoI’m finding it a bit underwhelming to be honest. It was so hyped, but it just feels like Dark Souls 4. I don’t find the open world really adds a lot apart from a lot of empty space filled with crafting components. The worlds in souls and sekiro were so carefully crafted and put together and I feel like the open world ruins that a bit. I guess after Sekiro did something similar but significantly different, I was expecting Elden Ring to be a bit more innovative. If I hadn’t already played the hell out of the three Dark Souls games I might enjoy Elden more. I’ll probably still beat it though and might change my opinion by the end - I certainly hated Sekiro and Dark Souls at times before I came to love them.

3·2 years agoYes, that’s what hybrids are, a hybrid between an electric and combustion engine car, I.e. they have both.

Doom (1993) took place on both moons FYI. Episode 1 was Phobos and episode 2 was Deimos.
