Also can't comprehend the "protected" bike lane.
It just looks like more road

While true, quantity of poop particles also matters.
Your body can fight off loads of bacteria. But once it gets to an infection point, it can't keep up and you become ill.

So yeh, poop is everywhere. As long as it's small amounts, it's fine.

*consume the whole atmosphere

They weren't concerned about rock getting involved.
The concern was that the extreme temperature and pressure caused by the fission event would trigger fusion events of the nitrogen in the atmosphere, which would lead to a chain reaction of fusion of the atmosphere.

Windows 11 and OSX are so outdated

Seems like her initial reaction is from the gut with love and support.
And then maybe she searches and "researches" the topic and starts spouting bullshit, and doesn't have the appropriate social filters.

All I really wanted from her was understanding, but she just gave me a lot of self-doubt and sadness instead.

Feel free to call her out on these things. Highlight the instances where she has initially been supportive, and then u-turned into harmful communication.
Ultimately, this is about communicating these scenarios with her. Hopefully she can modify her behaviours.
I know I have changed my behaviour significantly when people have done that with me, and I have noticed the same with my parents when I call them out on things.
It's just human.

It's possible that she has undiagnosed conditions.
Might be that you notice some markers of this when talking to her about your concerns.

Or it's possible that she is researching in the wrong way and in the wrong places (maybe a "mom group" which is actually a toxic environment).
Which will also become apparent when discussing the topic ("you said you thought I might have autism last night, but this morning you said I was lazy. I'm trying to figure this thing out and you have a perspective on my life I don't. Saying one thing that validates my concerns, then saying a hurtful opposite thing less than 12 hours later both makes me seriously doubt myself and my experiences and makes me feel really unloved and unsupported. Why did you change your tune?" sort of thing).
At which point you have to decide if you:
want to try and correct their news/research sources;
accept that they will prioritise their shitty "research" over their actual experience - basically not rely on them for support and disregard their opinion, but still love them;
or cut them out of your life.

There is also the possibility that she is toxic, but her initial support comes from biological "love and support".
You don't owe her anything, and - if through communication about the issue - you figure out she is toxic, then it's fine to reduce/eliminate your reliance/relationship/contact with her.

Ultimately, her opinion doesn't matter. She isn't a psychologist or a medical doctor. If you think something is wrong, you need to talk to people that have studied the subject.
Talk to a professional, and keep going until you feel heard. Don't give up until you feel heard and understood.

Just buy from the EU.

Yes, but...
The same could happen the the EU, as with any foreign power.
It's unlikely as the EU is fundamentally built differently. But it could, no doubt a country that wanted to push through their adjenda by exploiting loopholes that haven't been discovered/exploited because of "decorum" could still happen.

Buy source-provided.
So, you get everything you need to maintain the platform with the purchase cost.
If you want updates and improvements, they have additional cost.
Like so many software licencing models. 1 year of updates - except it's source provided.
It's more expensive, but you get what you pay for.
Renew your licence every year for another year.
Stop paying? You get to use the EJ69 fighter jet platform as it was in 2019 for as long as you can manufacture parts for it.

Or you could buy the cloud-hosted fighter jets. And risk the off-switch. But it's less upfront cost, higher long-term cost

You'd need a service contract with a battery supplier.
No fuel station would risk a competitor driving in with their old batteries and swapping them with good batteries.
So you would likely be locked in with a fuel station brand.
As a consumer, you also risk picking up a dud.
Fuel stations would also need to be considered in insurance claims, as they would own the battery.

It's a great idea, however. I'd rather see more public transport and less cars. But electric cars, easier "refueling" of electric cars, and more solar/wind/hydro/nuclear power is a good hold over

What is your home page that you need access to it so conveniently?
Besides, new tab can be set to a webpage instead of a blank tab

I was kinda hoping the UK was past exploiting the ill-informed, idiots and reckless. Especially after the wild wild success of Brexit.

But no, apparently not.
Exploit the AI hype that a lot of people probably don't understand.
Somehow argue that a computer is more human than a human.
Put this absolute garbage of a solution on the ballet, and watch everyone go "well, politicians aren't working, let's try breaking the system" and vote for some untested hallucinating predictive text algorithm to lead a country, while employing twice as many staff to fix/feed/spin/manipulate/fake the results of the AI.

Not if they keep taking it away from you.
Then you are left with 0 vehicles while they fix it

I understand that, but the misuse of the word "recall" is archaic and I'm pretty sure specific to only the auto industry.
Phones don't get recalled for software updates.
I think it is to mean a mandatory update that fixes a core/safety system, and the wording is some legal thing relating to when such an issue would have to be fixed by a mechanic in a garage. Likely to fit around existing insurance documents and laws, without having to get those reworded.

But "recall" means

to order the return of a person who belongs to an organization or of products made by a company

I just want to clarify that this update isn't actually a recall. It a "car recall", which in this case is just a software update.
