Article leaves out tires and tire wear pollution which is significant and bad stuff. It’s also worse in heavier vehicles. Yes, EVs, especially if CATL can get their sodium battery line off the ground, are better overall, but let’s not oversimplify. Also, the most environmental car is still a car…
We went from zero cars to everything covered in cars in a lifetime, we can go back in a lifetime.
That seems like a fair percentage estimate. What you’re leaving out is society. The ancient Greeks, even the 99.9% dummies, were excited about philosophy and learning. Today, Joe Rogan is one of the most popular podcasts in the world and you can’t throw a stick without hitting a dozen grifters proudly parroting logical fallacies while people clap. So yeah, there might be eight million people out there, but their thoughtful blog probably gets a dozen hits a month. Their world changing lecture was cancelled for being woke. Their exciting revelation they add to the conversation get overshadowed by someone yelling how great “Oh! My Balls!” was last night.

Thusly, I call the boring game “soccer” and the often decided by refs game where everyone has brain damage “gridiron”. Nobody wins, which is beautiful in its own way.
There are no good guys in this war.
I am 14 and this is deep
Before I go all in with you, I have to know- is this an illegal company where crabs are the product or where crabs are running things?
Sounds like, as with so many things, we’re getting the worst of both worlds. USA! USA! USA!
I like the part where reviewers have a scale then use less than half that scale. Like 5 star movie reviews where half of films are 4 star or higher and 99% are 3 star or higher. Maybe if a movie has an incoherent story, is obnoxious AND offensive, and sounds like it was filmed in a well then it’ll be 2.5 stars. To get 2 stars it has to be something that doesn’t even qualify as a movie and thus won’t get ranked.
Then everyone clapped. Those lousy poors, not understanding the value of expensive footwear. So undignified.
Sadly, no. It probably will actually cost around $1B to drive screwworms back to the Darien Gap again and that’s assuming the people in charge are planning that (they’re probably not- why help poor countries?!) and capable of following a plan that already worked once (they’re not). This number will balloon out of control and their nonsense plan to hold the line at Texas will be a disaster IF it ever even comes online as it’s planned for late 2027. A preview of the planning genius.
That success is part of what caused the problem. Complacency set in, and capacity eroded.
This part is sort of glossed over. There was a report in 2018 that the Panama facility was in dire need of updates. We were talking about a one time $50M investment and an extra $10-15M a year to hold screwworms at the Darien Gap as they had been for decades. Trump did nothing. It’s easy to blame COVID, but there is a very, very avoidable problem and yes, the blame lies squarely with Trump.
Didn’t fElon already try buying his way to an AI company then ruined it by being who he is? [searching] Yeah, he bought talent to put together the stupidly named “xAI” to make the offensively wrong did-you-even-read-the-book “Grok” which after three short years is so bad it’s not even on most LLM performance charts. Who knows, maybe fElon’s pedo pal in the WH will take out Anthropic, Google will give up for no reason, and the Chinese will also give up for no reason. Then everyone on Earth will spend more money than they have on Grok. $22,000,000,000,000 in revenue, EZ PZ!
Weird, it’s almost like there’s a global class war going on where only one side is organized and doing the fighting. Also, that a big part of their campaign is to infiltrate any remotely left leaning political party to sabotage it from within. But that’s crazy. I mean, if there were going to do something like that they’d also be constantly sowing conflict between left-learning centrists and leftists which only ever happens every single day on every single media and social media platform.
That’s a bit like yelling at firefighters for wasting time connecting their hoses when they should be putting the fire out.
Maybe covering everything with cars and car infrastructure was a bad idea.
That’s a quality headline rewrite.
I always feel bad for just a moment when I order a pizza because you know on some level the delivery guy is hoping this delivery will be the one. Sexy lady in a corset or maybe naked, maybe more than one lady! Sigh, just a big straight guy- at least he was polite and tipped well.
I would agree that kink is a spectrum, or axis. Specifically, it’s the Z-axis to the masculine/feminine attraction (“gay-straight” but generalized) X-axis and sexual intensity (aka, horniness level) Y-axis. That’s right, we’re going 3D.
Funny how the coalition you tout only moves right.
Probably because there is this widespread view on the left that is a combination of not understanding how our government/elections work and not understanding political coalitions as demonstrated by this thread. That and thinking that showing up once a year (let’s be real, once every 4 years) to make a token gesture without doing the 364 days of fighting is enough. Hard to get what you want without participating and/or even understanding the situation.
Ouch. And to follow that up with “intelligence is often underestimated by cynics imo”. Simply brutal. I hate to be the one to break this too you, but having a PhD doesn’t necessarily mean a person is smart. Even if it did, that 1% is sort of entirely making my above point about society.
