At worst it is about a wash. Combined cycle power plants are very efficient, much more efficient than even the best ICE engines. You pay for that efficiency with space and equipment weight which is why you don’t see that in vehicles. Even with transmission losses and power train losses in EVs your miles per unit of burnt fuel is about as good or better. Mix some green energy in there and you are coming out positive.
Ah spring! Flowers blooming, bird songs… BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA… Goddamn leaf blowers.
Normally I would agree, but we are in the the bizzaro timeline
This gives me gender ew-phoria
EV weight is a legitimate concern both in terms of road and tire wear. However, this is a problem more generally given the current market trend towards driving a siege tower around to go grab some groceries.
If he cared about the grid he’d put solar panels up.
Hybrids: am I a joke to you?
No. Being politically active is of the upmost importance to me right now. I’m exhausted, but this election year is a matter of survival for queer people.
It’s people, there is never any winning. You do your best to find chill people and don’t waste your precious limited leisure time with people who make you feel bad.
My advice is to find a more diverse group. Married and LTR folks are typically less likely to engage in this behavior, especially if their partners are there too. Its tough when you’re in your 20s because 20something guys are all trying to throw their 3 pointer despite the odds.
Either that or find an overtly lewd mixed-gender/mixed-sexuality group and embrace it. I played a very racy campaign in Uni that was a lot of fun. Everyone was onboard with what was going on though before it started and we knew it was going to get weird in a fun way. It was a fun way to also explore my own gender/sexuality in a safe no-contact fantasy way.
I blame the ferengi
I use it to distinguish sex and gender. Only some females have to deal with periods and pregnancy, but all women have to deal with social mysogeny. In this context I would use women because it’s a gender issue not a sex issue.
It is because to the harasser they are killjoys. To the aggrieved they are robbing them of agency to help themselves. However, fuck the harassers, and sometimes people need help and don’t know how to ask. I would rather be called a white knight than a creep or someone who did nothing and was thus complicit in the harassment. I’m old and grumpy though and if I’m “helping” it is because I’m sick of the bullshit not because I care if people think I’m a good person; I think that intent matters.
“anarchists looking to consolidate power”
What?
That’s weird because all except prusa are Chinese made. My issue with Bambu is that it is a closed ecosystem, but they are undeniably very capable machines.
I really had no idea what I was getting myself into with that one, coming from Player of Games.
Terfs have poisoned the feminist name and cause. My tin foil hat says that it was an intentional act by fascist elites to infiltrate the movement to destroy it.
I always have to talk my folks down from shit they heard on Fox and Newsmax. They have called me frantically panicking that:
-There is a new gender neutral bathroom in addition to the M and F rooms at their gym!
“So you haven’t been inconvenienced in any way?”
" They are going to take the women’s room away! I don’t want to change next to a MAN!"
“… Are they taking the women’s room away and forcing you into the gender neutral one?”
" well no…"
“So you haven’t been inconvenienced in any way. This sounds fine. Why are you calling me again?”
-The government is going to force them to switch to electric cars and they don’t have a convenient outdoor outlet to charge a car!
“Did you get a letter that they are going to seize your car?”
“No not yet but they are going to do it soon!”
“Okay, well that sounds like it probably isn’t imminent, why dont we wait to see of you get a letter and then we can react then; worst case we take it to court. Also, someday you will have to replace your old car and an electric one might be a good option for you guys. Dad is getting too old to get under the car to change oil and you know he’s too stubborn to take it to a shop. You don’t need a lot of range, you only go to church, the grocery store, and your craft club. There are incentives to put in a charger anyway.”
My dad has a heart condition and these fuckers are driving both of them to an early grave for cheap political points. Fuck these fear profiteers.
I think slinging mud about how much money one’s opponent has is a little tactless when so many Americans are struggling financially. The Dems get accused of being deaf to the problems of the rural poor enough without leaning into the rich urban elite stereotype.
Also, where are the “lock him up” chants?
Action cameras are cheap, durable, and many come without any radios that can be used to track someone. They all look the same. Using a brand new sd card means that the only data on there is the pictures/video taken at the protest. The major downside is that if they are seized, they are an open book for law enforcement since they are unencrypted. If the sd card is taken or destroyed then one loses any evidence along with it.
