And it costs municipalities less money than the problems it prevents, so obviously we shouldn’t do this everywhere and raise the standard of living for everybody. Because it wouldn’t be fair, somehow.

But remember, electric motors also require next to no maintenance and can last for many years of runtime. Pros and cons.
Take that house so they never see that view again.
Oh, agreed!
Sure, to get them to speak in unison. They did all read from the same script though. It wouldn’t be as viscerally creepy without the editing, but I would say the situation is as bad as the video makes it seem.
I am not medically trained in any way, but I would say sudden noticeable losses in strength and endurance in one arm is a good enough reason to make a doctors appointment. So many issues are easier to deal with when caught early, take care of yourself!
If you are in a small car and an F350 hits you, it is going to do a lot of damage whether it is this or a more conventional car. At least with this you may limit the body and frame damage to that wheel and suspension. If it just tears off that wheel it will pobably transfer less impact to the passenger compartment too, and I care more about my neck than a wheel or quarter panel.
Probably worse for Barbra than the picture is this phenomenon being named after her. I was familiar with the the Streisand Effect and who the name came from, but didn’t know the backstory and hadn’t seen her house.
For anyone curious.
Maybe that was literally the case, he apparently had mercury poisoning at around the same time.
It’s starting to sound like a retelling of the old lady who swallowed the fly.
Someone needs to invite /u/Poem_for_your_sprog to Lemmy.
Well, I just said carbon fiber, but to be more exact it is forged carbon SMC, so yeah, careful engineering involved. Same stuff Lamborghini is using for some structural components, so probably fairly fit to purpose.
Well, it has a carbon fiber frame with a crumple zone in the front. They are going to put it through 3rd party safety testing. It won’t be as safe as a big SUV, sure, but I think it will be safer than an ebike. It also protects you from weather and has 35 cubic feet of storage in the back. I think ebikes are great too, but this does have more of the advantages of a car.
The benefits increase as the efficiency of the car increases though, check out Aptera. They say they get 10 miles per kwh, and they have a lot of surface area for panels. Enough that in ideal conditions they say they get 40 miles per day from solar. It is a bit different looking though.
Growing crops to make ethanol is not particulatly green. In fact, in most existing production loops we would be better off environmentally to just burn pure gasoline than produce the ethanol to mix into it, unfortunately. Too much water, too many tractors and trucks, and way too much electricity into ethanol production to be worth what we get out of it. And the bit of carbon the crops sequester doesn’t overcome it. Electric vehicles are by far the greenest option right now.
Huh, I’ve been using a VPN for under a year, and DDG for just a couple of months, but I haven’t had a captcha from them yet.
If you are using Firefox, switch your default search engine to DuckDuckGo, haven’t gotten a captcha from them once. And right in the search bar you can switch to Google if DDG isn’t doing too well on a particular search, I do end up doing that about 5% of the time.
It won’t have started getting closer again before the Milky Way collides with the Adromeda galaxy in 5 Billion years, so it and anything we send on a similar path isn’t coming back.
Last year their revenue from selling cars, powerwalls, and solar tiles was around $90 million. Makes the stock price seem crazy, yes. But then they sold $1.8 billion of carbon credits to other auto manufacturers, and that costs them basically nothing. Still doesn’t justify the stock price, but makes it less ridiculous. Selling carbon credits is Tesla’s main business at this point, the things they make just provide the justification for it.
In general I agree with you for sure, we have way too many. But if there are any worth preserving, I’d say it’s the old ones in Scotland where golf was invented. And at least there they don’t have to be watered constantly.
TIL! I had never heard the typhoon was used for both tornados and hurricanes in China, had just heard of their Typhoon rating sytem that seems to apply more to what would be called a hurricane in the states.
But the storm in the article was not a tornado. The 3 people who were pulled from their homes lived in a high rise, and had large windows that failed in the wind, and they were blown out.
Sure he’s got climate wins, but some of the wins are questionable, like giant hydrogen hubs. Hydrogen sounds great on the surface, but the more you dig into it, the more issues crop up. Some of these hubs will end up producing hydrogen by burning fossil fuels, and that isn’t a win at all. And speaking of not winning, we are producing more oil and natural gas than ever before. That’s why we aren’t excited about his “Climate Wins”, they are offset if not overcome by losses.
Having said that, regarding the Climate, pollution, and everything related, Trump is the worst choice. He’s already promised Carte Blanche to oil execs if they donate to his campaign. (Not in those words of course, simpler, more incoherent ones.)
