Oh this dude is definitely gay.
*it can be safely done yes, but but shouldn’t and it’s not allowed in some areas. Where I live everywhere that sells batteries has to have collection points for their recycling and it is not legal to put them in the trash.
Hey, yeah I assumed. Just looking for a chuckle.
What did you do OP… Just tell your SO that your best friend installed tinder on your phone as a joke…
Dear Germans, When someone had a grandfather who was Turkish that doesn’t make their german born descendants Turkish… They are german.
Dear brits, The Indian guy who’s grand parents were born in Britain… he’s not “the Indian guy”, he’s brittish.
Dear French, French is not a skin color. It’s a nationality. A black guy can be French too.

Immigrant descendents in Europe.
The thing about people’s roots is it’s complicated, messy, and not only an American problem. More compassion and understanding goes a long ways.
It is easy to find many other sources with the same statistics. These as I understand them are people who speak 2 languages and not people who have simply learned some of a second language. There are a lot of American people speaking Spanish in the US, of course there are also for example, 1.5 million who speak vietnamese.
This is broadly true with white Americans when their immigrant background is there already for generations… but a huge part of america does not even speak English at home. America is a melting pot of people from everywhere in the world and they naturally bring their languages, food, and culture with them. It is easy to forget, especially when only looking at specific demographics of a diverse country.

I know it’s a joke about Americans not speaking a second language, but they aren’t too bad at it. They land at about 23% and seeing how the EU average is 25% that’s rather good. https://www.americathebilingual.com/the-surprising-truth-about-american-bilingualism-what-the-data-tells-us/
Tipping is of course a major issue not just in the US, but in many other countries as well. There are a lot of good books written over the years on the subject. One was written by a career waitress that is worth reading and how it leads to the acceptance of sexual abuse of the waitresses.
It’s fun to think about changing it and everyone just stopping it. If this is an important issue to you try and change it. If no one fights for what is right and progress things will only get worse.
Yes and no. It is not in your face anti EV, that would be too obvious and it does not need to be. Answer a few questions for yourself (don’t worry answering them to me).
Will this article make people want to buy a EV as their only car?
Is this article mostly for or against EVs? Would you say it’s 80 or 90 percent about the problems of owning a EV?
Does this article have fair criticism of gas cars and gas Infrastructure in wild fires? Do they even mention the issues with gas cars and fires?
Will people question the safety of a EV after reading this?
They address peoples personal safety while charging, specifically for woman (the most likely buyer of a EV). They talk about back areas, poorly lit places where you are alone and they could be dangerous. How will this make women feel when considering their next car purchase?
The US like everywhere has a history of nearly 100% gas cars and gas car infrastructure. To have a article pointing out that gas car infrastructure is better than electric vehicles infrastructure is shortly said as no shit, how is that not obvious? So then what’s the point of pointing out the obvious? More importantly what’s the cause of pointing this out? More people will consider not buying a EV. When less people buy a EV there will be less infrastructure for them. See where this is going?
I get it, you feel like we need to talk about the problem to fix them. But do we? Is this not obvious already? Do we all not know that taking a EV into remote areas and wildfires may not the the best of ideas?
EVs are great in 999 ways out of 1000, but let’s find one extreme example of how they may not work perfectly in extreme conditions that won’t happen to the majority of people. There are obvious bias things in the article, as with many anti-EV articles as gas companies pour millions every year into anti-EV articles. Do they mention gas stations are turned off around fires for obvious reasons so gas vehicles also have issues - nope. There are simple obvious solutions around this that are simply not presented.
It just reminds me of an article that I read everywhere about how a tesla blew up. Nearly every article talked about it like it just spontaneously blew up. Nearly no article mentioned that it blew up after it collided into a huge boulder on the road. Nor did they mention that the driver was totally fine as it caught fire half an hour after the accident. Or the obvious, that gas cars can also blow up but they slam into a boulder at high speeds.
Depends on the company. It’s often used innocently to identify that you are a person, and a specific person. Other times it gets tossed into huge data bases. I work in sales and it’s crazy what personal details you can see about people when you use expensive Software.
It’s a bit of a preference thing. I like most of my fruit, papaya included, so ripe as possible. Like some people would say it’s not good anymore. Ideally also picked ripe from tree/bush. Others like it crunchy, even peaches or nectarines. Yuck.
But when a papaya is green and hard, it is great to shred and make into an Asian style salad. So it depends on you and what you want to do with it.
So the question is back to you OP, when is a papaya ready to eat?
