Back when I smoked I’d extinguish the cigarette and wait until I found a trash can. And I know plenty of people who do the same. Unfortunately plenty of other people don’t and it sucks.

Show me the statistics of how many people got cancer from second hand smoke in outdoor areas. I’ll wait. Just make cigarettes fucking expensive, like in Australia. Make smokers pay more for health insurance. There’s so many good ways of handling the problem. Banning people from smoking outside is just fuel for all the fucking Nazis that would love to get rid of the EU. And it won’t change a fucking Thing. As if people would suddenly stop smoking outside when no one is around.

As much as I like the idea of getting rid of smoking altogether, this is a huge infringement on self-determination. Sure, go ahead and declare certain public areas as non-smoking zones. I’m absolutely fine with that. Even if it means that the entire inner city is such a zone. No one should have to inhale secondhand smoke. But if you’re somewhere where you don’t bother anyone, why should that be illegal?

Ecigs are just as, if not more disgusting than regular cigarettes. Vape clouds tend to linger in the air a lot longer. And then there’s the fact that single-use vapes exist and it’s a fucking disgrace.

But who will clean the biofilters?

Calling Trump weird is a bit like belittling him. Maga shitheads like to see him as this untouchable guy, who says what’s on his mind. Harris calling him weird kind of makes him seem small.

It’s kind like calling Putin a raging homosexual. I have nothing against homosexual people, but Putin and his bootlickers do. If that’s a problem for them, all the better.

Yeah, no shit? These controls are shit in any car, including yours.

Lol, this sort of shit also comes in ICE vehicles. The only reason this is more predominant in EVs is because some braindead MBAs think EVs need to somehow be more “futuristic” and tactile buttons are too old-school for them. How is it difficult to fathom that in certain situations this can lead to accidents?

Kagi has a button that lets you search fediverse forums. I haven’t tested it yet though.

Edit: yup, works like a charm!

I absolutely get what you mean. It’s just that there aren’t many components in an EV that can fail. If they do fail however, it’s no doubt going to be expensive. I’m looking positively into the future though.

The ADAC (German Automobile Club) has deemed EVs more reliable than ICE cars. I’m fairly ambivalent in this regard. EVs are still way too expensive for me. Next car will be a used ICE vehicle. Maybe after that one we’ll go for an EV, simply because it makes sense for us (PV on the roof), but vehicle2home or vehicle2grid has to be the standard by then.

Older, mechanical cars are very reliable, I’ll give you that. I imagine the cars you have aren’t exactly the newest models.

If you make sure to not charge the battery to 100% all the time, the battery of an EV will easily last for 300,000 km. There will be a slight reduction of overall capacity, but nothing that will impact your day to day life (unless it consists of driving 24/7). Overall, EVs are way more robust than ICE cars.

But yeah, if you’re out of luck, then repairs are expensive because of the reasons you mentioned.

Oh shit, you’re right! I had some trouble reading that comment. It makes a whole lot more sense now!

And yeah, I too had a comment removed by some overzealous reddit-tier garbage mod.

Pray tell, how do you plan on removing fascism? Because believe me, everyone here would love that.

Removed by mod

I was hoping that the admins on Lemmy aren’t the same type of shitheads like the bad ones from Reddit were, yet here we are.

Führer

ftfy. Alternatively, you can write it as

Fuehrer

Solid list though!

Languages are weird, to be honest. In German we call a teppanyaki “Teppangrill”.

It’s usually a teppan style grill. A stainless steel plate over gas burners.

I guess you’re technically correct, as you never said deep-fry. But for some reason I immediately thought you meant people would submerge the sausages into boiling fat.

I’d call it grilling to be honest. It kinda looks like a teppanyaki, which is a form of grill.
