Well , it doesn’t explicitly specify in the article what they mean by “don’t have their phone”, but from context I understand it as “not using it”, or having it put away but still within reach.
The article also seem very directed at social media. All the things you mentioned, except social media, are on a ‘need’ basis (transportation, bank access, etc) which really doesn’t take an abundance of screen time.
Apart from this printer nonsense, why do people hate HP so much?
Excuse me Sir, there’s a line.

What do you mean … you people?..
Firstly, apartment complexes and the likes are usually owned by bigger companies with more leverage when negotiating loan rates compared to individuals. Secondly, renting a small apartment while holding on to their down payment money / saving even more is clearly gonna be cheaper than buying a 2 bedroom home in the middle of a city.
I honestly just think it’s ignorance and/or plain idiocy. One of my closest friends who’s not dumb by any means, bought a home with his gf when homes were highly overvalued but loan rates were still on a record low (European country). I asked him if it was really such a good idea and if they couldn’t just rent or keep living seperately for a while longer - but no.
Well, when everything caught up and their rate doubled all of a sudden it’s hard to make their economy work (luckily they get by and are both educated but the rates can’t go much higher before shit hits the fan).
He later had to get a new car and could barely afford a 20yo used car and complained that it’s hard to have money left after all costs of living and I, like a good (bad?) friend, discreetly (not very much) brought up the fact that I “told him so”. His response was “yes I know but those are the rules we just have to play by and it’s out of our control”.
I wouldn’t never not touch it
!!DUN DUN DUUUUUUUHN!!
Bro i researched your comment and guess what? FALSE.
I’ll take two; one to put in my bed and one for my underwear
Huh. I’ve just always heard that AC is the better way for long distances. TIL
Hi dad, I’m Mail man.
It’s gonna push DC from DK to UK? Seems ineffective?
Well I claimed that I’ve not seen a study that accounts for all the different attributes at once. So there’s really nothing for me to provide?
But if you really need it, MIT did a study in 2019 and they explicitly (in about 2 sentences) declare that they don’t take into account battery lifetime, capacity degradation over time, battery efficiency’s sensitivity to cold, the problem with disposing of depleted batteries. According to their study an EV has about 55% of the emissions of a traditional ICE of comparable size, not accounting for the aforementioned details, nor the fact that EVs replace batteries. I.e. they assume one set of batteries for the entire lifespan.
Now, I might very well be wrong. And I probably am (judging from the down vote bombing). But I just want to see a thorough study of both types of vehicles with everything taken into account from basically drawing board to junkyard.
Well, please show me a trustworthy study of the difference between ICE and EV emissions per mile during their lifetime. The ones I’ve read always say “in their lifetime”, but they don’t take into account EV batteries need changing after about 10 years … And batteries are as we know the “big bad” of EVs. The absolutely only true comparison would be all emissions from all sources spread out over either per mile or per year. A combustion car can easily last 20 years, which isn’t really a fair comparison to the 10 years.
Production of batteries, handling discarded batteries, breaking of minerals FOR the batteries, and producing the electricity have all been shown to be worse for the environment than than the entire life of a traditional car
It does
