I dont know anybody who lives in rural areas who needs more than 200 miles of range, and I know many who daily drive EVs. 1 hour to work would be fine driving an EV. Going to the next town over would be fine driving an EV. A long road trip to the city would require fast charging, but there’s plenty of those.

get foreign aid from the EU?

I think SteamOS does automatic firmware updates so you would have to make sure you don’t unexpectedly lock it up

Yeah the nerds usually find themselves in very powerful social circles if they survive school. Circles of emotionally mature experts with strong careers.

Kids’ needs are of course very important, but abandoning engaging hobbies in favor of some phantom desire to fit in is dumb.

Yeah definitely, the US system is very dysfunctional. A good amount of money simply gets lost in the bureaucracy.

Insurance companies are massive conglomerates that have to negotiate deals with tens of thousands of providers, millions of products, and millions of customers. Every Healthcare provider needs dedicated bureaucrats that can navigate the sea of paperwork. I don’t have the data in front of me, but I believe the US government pays about the same amount of money on healthcare as the Swedish government.

Any difference between what a Swede pays and what an American pays is just pure waste. A wasteland of pointless jobs.

There’s definitely some fuskbolag and dysfunctionalities in the Swedish system, but for the most part, Swedes are not wasting money keeping dozens of massive office towers filled with bureaucrats, and Swedes have a happier life because of it.

With regards to salary, all Americans already pay 4% off their paycheck for Medicare. So Swedes don’t have lower salaries because of vård välfärd - at least not directly. But that’s a complicated discussion, and we’re already seeing American salaries fall drastically due to geopolitical factors. There is some aspect of the US having a monopoly on cloud services, where many top European tech works have been bought up and poached by Silicon Valley. There is also the risk of the American economy overinvesting into AI companies, with hundreds of billions of dollars already spent, and further trillions planned.

Yeah, it’s something that people don’t really think about.

För klarhet, fackordet för skatten är arbetsgivareskatt. “tax planning” är skatteväxling. “out of pocket maximum” och “coinsurance” är engelsk fackord för högkostnadsskydd.

because having no internet feels like being in the stone age, when dinosaurs coexisted with humans.

I know you’re asking about the US, but for comparison:

In Sweden it’s a flat 3.55% of your labor income, so about €100-200 a month for most people, and usually caps out at €200 for people doing tax planning. In either case, it’s paid by your employer so you don’t have to think about the cost.

Out of pocket yearly maximum is €145 for Healthcare and €380 for prescriptions (which was raised 30% this year by the far-right coalition 😑). Dental care is also mostly covered by insurance, but there’s a co-insurance between 50% and 15%.

Innovations like selling your medical data to advertisers and bribing politicians!

I think both windows and Linux turn on a number of kernel hardening options when secure boot is on.

So sad that they let Linux gamers play this game which lead to this cheating epidemic. Competitive Linux games like CS2 and The Finals are just filled with cheaters!

Oh wait.

Why would you install Windows 11on a computer? What happens if you don’t do it before October?

alcohol an capsaicin hits hard. the alcohol acts as a surfactant and your throat just gets obliterated. even vodka+tabasco can be pretty rough.

Fuck EA

Usually there is an issue with glibc or Mesa compatibility.

…Does this game use Mesa?
