My generalizations are perfectly valid, because they’re completely true. YOU are not most people, or most families. You are in a very large minority here, by being over 29, and being so young but had a grandpa who fought in the war. You’re well below 5% out of the federation here.

*Final note to add: I specifically said (along with the original post) “grandma’s”. Not grandpa’s. So your pawpaw fighting in WW2 isn’t any validation as a sound argument. An old man will marry and have kids with a young woman. It seldom goes the other way around.

Trickle down effect. The people who want ddr5 are settling on the higher end ddr4.

Two ram sticks are the best way to have the highest performance (2 16GB sticks are better than 4 8GB sticks). No one really wants to build a new PC with just 16GB of ram now, so people are looking for 32GB and 16GB sticks of ram. They also don’t want the slower ram, so they’re looking for 3,400+ mhz speed ram.

So for people wanting a gaming or video editing or ai system, no one wants the 8GB sticks of 2,400mhz ram sticks in your machines.

The demand has increased in ddr4 because it increased so much for ddr5. While all the data centers and ai bullshit needs the 5, it’s caused everyone wanting ddr4 to still need ddr4, and now people who wanted ddr5 to settle on getting ddr4 on the higher end speeds and capacitties.

DDR4 is currently like double the price is was 6 months ago.

Usually in the most petty of ways.

How are other countries on drivers not being on their cell phones or watching their phones\browsing? The US is terrible about it. It’s not legal most places, but it’s also not very enforced. I figured that was a bigger cause than the rise in vehicle size.

So it wasn’t an adult since they were 18? It also wouldn’t have been better said to be a teenager since it is also age accurate? Instead you chose “child”, specifically for the clicks.

Most people here are under 40.

Your grandma was only 16 when the war ended, so she didn’t do a thing in it.

Most kids are born before their parents turn 30, so for most people who are currently 40 years old their grandparents were too young to fight in the war.

Even if you’re grandma was older and your grandparents could have did anything in WW2, you’d still be in the minority for “most people on Lemmy”.

It’s 2025. There’s barely a person on Lemmy whose grandma’s were more than 15 years old in the early 1940’s.

Stop making gotcha titles that are BS. Are you fox news?

I’ll keep my unkillable Gen 2 Prius. 281,000 miles on the odometer, original engine, replaced the hybrid battery a few years back with a brand new one from Toyota (that I installed myself after convincing a dealership to just sell one to me) and knock on wood, but that’s the last maintenance item I’ve even had to spend any money on.

Too bad quality dropped off after the Gen 2 years.

Clickbait and ai bullshit from Google feed is pretty much all I’ve ever seen from them in the past year.

That contributed to all Linux. Gamers Nexus exclusively using Bazite for their Linux game testing is giving them specifically, a big bump.

Mostly all thanks to Gamers Nexus, I’d wager.

In the dwindling amount of phones that will allow you to install GOS on them?

Same here in the US. But what the “witty” twitter poster fails to think about is that the ambulance isn’t running code. No lights and sirens. No emergency.

Zoom in even closer right at the middle. There’s a little Yoda standing up facing straight back at you.

Bro, did you just call her fat?

But really, non contaminated marble is very strong in a load bearing sense, and the ends of the statue are plenty thick enough to support that weight. The arm that rests on the ground as well was much more likely there to be a support to keep the arm from getting damaged, and not a part made to keep the statue from snapping elsewhere.

I’m not speaking from an occupants perspective. I’m only chiming to provide some added context to the articles claims of the cutters primarily only being useful for rescue personnel.

I will say that the chances where a person crashes, and no one else is around, and the vehicle is on fire or there’s a reason the occupant should leave the seat after a severe crash, and the cutter would stay reachable, is very, very rare. Vehicles almost never catch on fire from crashes. Beyond that, unless you’re in BFE without a phone or anyone else around, it’s usually best you stay in place.

That’s what the farm folk are claiming, but that doesn’t make it true. Data centers can lose 80% water from evaporation, so their run off is definitely more concentrated, but if they’re using say less than 10 percent of the total water usage of the rest of the town, they aren’t the ones causing any extra issues. This sounds like (in this specific case) it’s all issues from commercial farming that are trying to shift blame.

Firefighter EMT here. Over 15 years. Glass breaking happens pretty often and we have plenty of ways with doing that. Almost none of us carry a dedicated seatbelt cutter at the ready. If I can’t get to the buckle very easily, I still just use a knife. Also works great for cutting the side airbags out of the way, which a seatbelt cutter can’t do. For the seatbelts I’m just very careful with the knife, and for the airbags I cut reaching in and with the knife facing outwards and away from the patient. Trying to carry and use a seatbelt cutter just simply isn’t worth the limited space I have to carry things that are quickly accessible. Too much of a one trick pony.
