Car roofs don’t work well. The Ioniq 5 had them as an option. It could only charge a few miles daily, and doing the math it would never pay for itself over the lifetime of the car.

Roof panels on cars also tend to get damaged from rocks and pebbles just like windscreens, and when a solar panel gets a bad section it affects the whole panel.

Parking lot canopies is a better placement than on the cars. Not only do they produce electricity they, also keep the cars shaded so less energy is used on air conditioning.

Anyway for small scale personal use, I think the balcony panels are the best option in the places where it’s legal and possible.

Maybe it’s a fad like it was in the 70s and 90s.

The current fashion for young people is vintage, recycled or unique items.

Generally consumers are more quality minded too. I suppose the Temu/Shein influx made people more conscious of their consumption or something.

New regulations also ban companies from discarding surplus textile products, so basically everyone from politicians, consumers and companies are working to kill fast fashion.

It’s not recession. The second hand stuff is more expensive than Temu. Quality costs.

So it is a military target now.

Some people plug their ears when they hear anything unpleasant. This is extremely unpleasant to read about, so it needs to be repeated over and over again.

I have read about it before, but I still can’t really understand it. It is difficult to imagine how something like this happens without ever having been in such a situation. It’s a natural defense mechanism to downplay the severity of it in an attempt to create the belief that it can be avoided if it should happen to yourself. That’s were victim blaming cones from too. “It won’t happen to be because I would have done this instead”.

The more detailed descriptions help me better grasp the horror of it and how the victims got lured into the situations.

He has the most punchable face of any 45 years old pre-teen I’ve ever seen.

They’re tossing the dog a bone to make it shut up.

It will work, but not for long. The facists dogs will come back to get more from the hand that feeds.

China buys all the mink fur in the world for clothes production. I’m not sure where the end consumers of the products are.
