I'm sympathetic to Appalachians, most of the women I've dated have been Appalachian actually. There's a lot to love about their culture and history. But as a political block they can be really frustrating as the region is just really inefficient for anything but mining, tourism, and subsistence farming, and the mining is killing them and everyone else. permalink fedilink source parent [–] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.ml 32 points 6 months ago (4 children) Require the ability that anything with a battery has the ability to have it removed for recycling.

I do think about disposable vapes with 20w USB c charging and three inch LCDs. Like those components are so cheap or old that they're basically free. People are just throwing these bells and whistles on like we use packaging cause why not permalink fedilink source parent [–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago We do an amazing job with lead acid batteries. You don't even have to throw them in the ocean anymore because you get money back. I think the batteries in everyone's car are basically ore for the next generation. I think this is where we'll start to see some innovation, large pita batteries supplimenting the crumbling infrastructure that people trade out every few years. With the deregulation of wireless Internet, wired Internet is basically a liability now. I know that where I'm located the electric grid hasn't been updated in years, the pipes are rotting out around us as well. permalink fedilink source parent
