It's just another attempt to slow down renewables by taking up all the funding doing something else. It doesn't need to be useful or practical, so long as it drains the carbon reduction budget.

at least, not with my 1080p monitors, which I prefer over higher-res ones

Blasphemy!

4k monitors are beautiful for normal desktop usage, making text crisp and clean with smooth curves and none of that blockiness that comes from low resolution, and with modern scaling settings you can even have 4K text and 1080p graphics at the same time with the same performance as native 1080p.

Born too late to watch the collapse of the Russian empire, born too early to watch the collapse of the Russian empire, born just in time to watch the collapse of the Russian empire.

Nobody went and flipped the breaker for the jacuzzi? People like that obviously need practice dealing with inconveniences.

Mint 22 would be straightforward, at least: https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade-to-mint-22.html

Mint 21.3 might be a bit too 'stable' for your new GPU.

Linux graphics move fast. You generally won't have a good experience with an older distro and a brand new GPU.

IIRC, pumping hydrogen is only fast if the pump has a substantial rest between vehicles. Get a line of FCEVs wanting filled and you're looking at filling times not much faster than charging a battery EV.

Ah, the Internet. A place where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents.

I realise it's a joke and the details are irrelevant, but an EV is probably going to take weeks to drain its battery just sitting on in the garage. Days if it's running the A/C.

Moving the vehicle costs so much energy that it's a bit shocking how long an EV battery lasts if you use it for things other than driving.

The impact they're hoping it'll have is people will think this isn't the right time to buy an EV so they'll keep buying Toyota gas cars. That's why Toyota is constantly in the news regarding battery tech - it's to support their fossil fuel business.

Income tax when you aren't receiving an income is a weird idea.

It sounds like the author wants a land tax, but hasn't ever heard the term.
