I can’t find it now, but I saw a paper that said that India is one of 8 countries in the world where electric cars (charged from the main grid(s), no matter what time of day) release more CO2e than fossil-fuel cars, because of the amount and terrible quality of coal used to generate most electricity in those countries. The few cars charged only from renewable sources like wind/solar/etc. are of course vastly less omnicidal. Anyone have any good citations?

If this is true, would it also be true for coal-to-electricity trains vs more straight fossil-fueled trains?

Even trains in these bad coal-to-electricity countries might be less harmful than even the best renewably powered cars, as long as the trains aren’t regularly running with minimal passengers.

Please elide the emojis, they’re jarring.

And greed, well you gotta be wealthy in order to afford giving God a nice juicy tithe. Also gotta be self sufficient.

According to Luke 16:13 Jesus said “You cannot serve both God and money.”

Mark 10:21 “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

Is the Wikipedia article on granularity wrong when it says the USA uses middle-endian addresses when there’s both an apartment and a street address, e.g. “200 2nd Ave. South #358”?

For me big endian is logical, while middle endian just seems batshit insane.

While English messes up 11-19 when saying or writing with words, other languages like German keep up the ridiculous small-endian names even after 20 (einundzwanzig is “one and twenty”).
