World News@lemmy.world•'It doesn’t catch fire': Why China’s "fireproof" sodium battery could be the breakthrough that makes EVs safer than ICE carsEnglish
1·3 days agoAgain, talking about safety, not fires. Not only does number of fires not necessarily mean more dangerous: the fires could be on average smaller and/or easier to escape from, or maybe they tend to happen while unoccupied (block heater fires for example) etc. but also EVs could be more dangerous in other ways (they are heavier so maybe harder to avoid certain types of incidents?) so it’d be a wash even though they’re less likely to burn.
Additionally, rates are a better way of looking at these things I agree, but ignoring sample size and use case can miss part off the story. That might not be free case here, it’s just worth keeping in mind.
The beauty of a time machine though is even if you take a really long time to build it, you can just go back and build it faster.

1·4 days agoOf course, but we’re talking safety here. The claim is that ICE vehicles are less safe than EVs. I’m wondering how that is since all of the safety features will be essentially the same.
If you’re saying one has a higher risk of fire injury I’d love to see the stats on that as fires for either type are pretty rare.

21·4 days agoWait, how? Aren’t they essentially the same except heavier?
It’s that muddy middle that has many atheists describing atheism as “hard” and “soft”. If the answer to the question “do you believe in a god or gods” is anything other than yes, you’re an atheist.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a reason that all elected (not appointed) officials shouldn't be subject to a recall vote?
2·25 days agoIn Canada you can recall elected officials (although difficult to actually pull off), so it’s crazy to me that in the US there’s no mechanism to do so?

I appreciate the serifs for “AI”, as all the popular modern fonts botch it all the damn time.

Seems to align with my personal experience that turning on the filter (but also really turning down the brightness more than the default settings on the phone allow) makes me fall asleep sooner, but that could easily be from just training myself over time that this is the signal to start the sleep shutdown process.
