All of these are individual actions. I'd add organizing with other folks trying to make a difference. Direct action or political advocacy can have a much more significant effect than an individual acting alone.

My partner's iPhone is six years old. We're going to replace it soon because it stopped receiving security updates. She'd keep using it until it completely bricked otherwise.

I appreciate they're some of the best around for longevity but I wish they'd push further. I have a Fairphone and their firmware support is the same so it's frustrating that there's not really an alternative here.

I wish more devices would move in the Framework laptop direction, where hardware can be upgraded and old hardware can be repurposed.

That doesn't help you understand his supporters though. You have to wade in the shit they call news. You have to hear what they say to begin to understand them.

You're in a media bubble. It feels like there's no way anyone could see it differently. The people who disagree with you are also in a media bubble and don't understand how you could believe what you do.

For everything you said they

"I don't even know you. You're not the man I married 5 years ago."

China's energy grid is about 80% fossil fuels. Assuming their energy mixture remains unchanged (a bad assumption as their coal usage is on the decline) it would take about 65,000 miles for an EV's carbon output to break even with an equivalent ICE vehicle.

The waste and suffering involved in carbon intensive fuels is ongoing instead of being single event. One benefit of renewable tech is the recyclability of it's components. Once we're made the battery it can be recycled and died not require ongoing extractive mining forever.

EVs have a place in a just future and can do some good at this time. Alternatives to cars are still a far more important and uncomplicated solution to our climate problems

Direct action gets the goods

Frequently the databases are impossible to properly search because the data being added is not normalized

Most taxes on asset sale is based on profit, subtracting the bought price from the sold price. Given the wording the tax would be on the sale price, not the profit.

I'm a lot less likely to report a crime after the George Floyd murder. Granted violent crime, like murder, tends to get reported regardless of a person's personal feelings about police, and reported murders are down

I like eco-dent I have some jagged spots on my teeth that most floss snags on. This stuff doesn't snag and it uses wax instead of forever chemical
