txsoftwaredev··on Apple will use 100 percent recycled cobalt in batteries by 2025
Recycling cobalt batteries can have environmental impacts if not done properly. The process can result in the emission of pollutants, including greenhouse gases, toxic metals, and hazardous waste. Improper disposal of the waste generated during recycling can also have harmful effects on the environment. Not to mention recycling cobalt batteries requires a significant amount of energy. The process of recovering cobalt from batteries involves crushing, shredding, and melting the battery components, which can consume a lot of energy and contribute to carbon emissions.

We have an open border that allows anyone and anything to be imported in to the US. TX bears the brunt of it due to its proximity.
txsoftwaredev··on Early Remote Work Impacts on Family Formation
I lived in a home no where near that expensive in DFW and commuted 45-60 mins each way when my kids were young. Plenty of places you can work in tech and not own a million dollar house. Even still so today.

txsoftwaredev··on Coinbase CEO slams media for treating Sam Bankman-Fried with ‘kid gloves’
Considering the MSM and the White House are close friends this should come as little surprise.

"So which politicians got money from the founder and former CEO of collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX?

MarketWatch has compiled an interactive list below of the candidates and committees who received funds from Bankman-Fried based on the latest disclosures to the Federal Election Commission.

Overall, he gave almost all of the $40 million to Democratic politicians or groups, and just over $200,000 to Republicans, according to the disclosures."

txsoftwaredev··on Carvana to cut 1,500 jobs as online auto dealer’s troubles mount
I purchased a car from CarMax earlier this spring online and it was an easy process. Filled out some forms online, went through some questions on the phone and then had a car dropped off in my driveway a few day later.

A private seller can utilize a NICS check with an FFL if they choose. It's up to the private seller.

And the laws still apply to them. They are not allowed to sell to anyone not allowed to legally own a firearm, e.g. under 18, felon, out of state. If they do they are committing a crime.

And they will need an FFL if they make a business of selling privately.

txsoftwaredev··on Gun owners’ private information leaked by California Attorney General
It's no body else's business, especially the power hungry federal government, to know if I own a firearm. If you want to see what happens when you disarm citizens there are plenty of examples through history. You can look at Australia during covid and the camps they setup. The citizens could do nothing. The government should always be kept in check and having armed legal citizens is a wonderful thing for freedom.

txsoftwaredev··on Why is life expectancy in the US lower than in other rich countries? (2020)

We homeschool our three children and put in a lot of time and effort to prepare them to provide for themselves. Do I care of they become the CEO of a company? Of course not but I do want them to achieve what they are capable of. I know my kids and their abilities. Taco bell is not their pinnacle.
txsoftwaredev··on Why is life expectancy in the US lower than in other rich countries? (2020)
One issue is having an open border that allows trafficking of deadly drugs.

"Between 2020 and 2021, nearly 79,000 people between 18 and 45 years old — 37,208 in 2020 and 41,587 in 2021 — died of fentanyl overdoses, the data analysis from opioid awareness organization Families Against Fentanyl shows."

We also push vaccines during a pandemic that was primarily killing the obese in the greatest numbers but no mention of exercise and a reasonable diet.

But taco bell is the pinnacle of your kid's career ambition? I know as a parent I'd be very disappointed.

They wouldn't be able too. It's a great job for a high school kid or one with a low IQ that has limited options to start with. But it should be temporary to teach you how to be responsible, show up on time, do your job correctly, etc.
