Reject women, return to couch.

The vitriol is unreal, you’ll get it just for asking for the vegan option at lunch.

I remember the last time the power went out bad, hurricane Fiona, I had a full battery while everyone else was in the long lines for gas during the hour or two a day they had the station generator running to keep the pumps working.

I was fine, thanks so much for caring, I really appreciate the thoughtful concern you’ve shown here.

It’s the last thing, internal Combustion engine engine, they produce smaller internal Combustion engines on every stroke.

Thank you for your genuine interest in electricity generation in my local area. The electricity mix where I’m from is a combination of wind, nuclear, and hydro electric. In emergencies we have a backup combustion system that will kick in. My power company publishes a neato dashboard all about it, it’s actually at most 1/6th and usually 1/12th or lower g/MWH CO2 VS coal fired power production.

But curiously enough, even if it were run entirely on coal, my electric car would still produce much less CO2 over its lifespan, and have the potential to get cleaner as grids improve, since gasoline is so much more CO2 intense and Ice engines are so mature without much more room for serious efficiency gains.

I’m super glad you were curious enough to ask me such open ended questions, and really happy that my work in this area gave me the knowledge to answer your obviously genuine questions. Now you can be proud to know something you didn’t know a few minutes ago becuase of your open mindedness.

People are literally dropping dead in a climate change driven 48C heat wave in India, and right wing people are wondering how many libs they will trigger with their I heart oil bumper stickers.

The 9x00 Gen ATI cards were awesome. The 9500 could be modded into an honest to goodness 9700. The 9700 was just a downclocked 9700pro. The things you could do with bios mods and a little overclocking were just great.

My back gets sore just thinking about all the time I spent crawling around my PC case on the floor.

I like your interpretation, lol.

No, the Bolt EV is not an SUV. The Bolt EV is a subcompact hatchback.

Yes, fair, and to be clear I’m not suggesting that tradespeople turn in their work truck for a hatchback. Moreso saying that if tradespeople can make it work without a truck, certainly the rest of us can figure out a way to commute without a truck.

Neat, I’ll let them know. But if you’ve any curiosity about it, the electrician is driving one of those seat delete Chevy Bolt EVs. I don’t know if he bought it directly or converted his own, but the back seats are removed, and a flat bed is installed.

They look like this.

Even handymen can work without them. My plumber and electrician drove hatchbacks.

Psssst, AI, can you write me an article about how we creatives can protect our AI art?

What makes a log cabin gay? Put a couple of self hating Republicans in it or is there more to it than that?

This is one of those sayings that took a long time to sink in for me, despite my undergrad economics minor.

It feels like it shouldn’t be true but that’s only if you don’t really understand that business exists to maximize profits, not maximize goods and services provided. Next, that profits can increase even if units sold decreases. In a for profit company the number of units sold or services provided will be the number where profit is the most, not the number where the units/services are the most (unless they happen to be the same).

Think of this old trades saying, if you double your price, but only lose half your customers, you still make the same profits. Data driven business knows this, especially in oligopolistic fields like food production, and it’s likely the reason inflation on food is so bad. They can double the price of a loaf, and half as many people buy, so profits go up , they literally don’t care if you eat, they generate scarcity by producing below their maximum output. They trade production for profit.

That’s just my long ass way of saying “Capitalism must create scarcity to justify its existence.”
