Metric measuring systems are superior in almost every use case, with the exception, I think, of how temperature feels to us. As arbitrary as Fahrenheit seems, it does seem like a more natural scale to talk about the weather or body temp. The smaller units are nice for these purposes too. 0 being very cold and 100 being very hot feels less arbitrary than -18 and 38, even if celcius is more logical and easier to use for many other things.
At some point it almost stops seeming like greed and more like the willful extinction of the human race. But I’m probably just underestimating the greed.
Pick one and get something started! Be the change you want to see!
I’ve watched enough Supernatural to know a demon possessed corpse when I see one.
This isn’t a science related meme. I can understand you not being sure where to put it, I haven’t seen a “Racist Memes” community on Lemmy.
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.)
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.
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.
It’s more like they are around again, they folded quite a while ago then started back up in 2019 I think. Still a fairly long development, but not 15 years, haha.
I think the timer is a little pushy, but giving a warning before closing open investment isn’t a bad thing. If they reopen crowdfunding after closing it now, I will share your suspicions.
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.
The first change needs to be teams pay for their own stadiums instead of them being taxpayer funded from cites and states. I don’t care if it will drive tourism, use that money to take care of the purple in the city and make the city a nice place, even make it a nice place for a stadium, but make the team owners/pro leagues pay for their own damn stadium.
