  • You're gonna have to cite a source on that one, you can't just say one of the leading launch providers that has both nasa and defence customers is cutting corners without any proof.

    Have you ever works with the airforce on space related stuff? Cause I have, and they are not the kinda people to just hand wave away stuff.

    1. They arnt banning coal/wood fired pizza ovens.
    2. They are restricting particulate emissions not Co2 emissions. It's not a climate change thing it's an air quality thing. The pizzareias need to filter out the particulate, not get rid of their pizza ovens.
    3. Even if they were banning coal/wood fired pizza ovens it wouldn't effect pizza. Pizza ovens get up to 900f and the pizza cooks in 90 seconds. There is no time for any smoke flavor to penitrate the pizza. A natural gas or electric oven is going to yield the same result so long as they hit that 900f temp.
  • Exactly, corporation and individual behavior is predominantly emergent of the system. Theres some blame that can be passed on to the consumer or the corporation but only so much, it's not my fault I can't afford an electric car. It's not my fault installing solar panels on my house won't recoup the cost by the time I leave/sell.

    If you want people to eat less meat you need to make it worth people's while to eat less meat. You don't need to outlaw meat, you just need to make it less attractive from a financial perspective.

    If you want people to use less gas you don't need to outlaw gas cars you need to make it less attractive.

    You could write individual incentives and disincentives but a carbon tax is simple and hits at the crux of the problem. Remove beef, oil, gas, solar, wind, hydro subsidies and implement a carbon tax. Boom, meat alternatives are now cost comparable. Green energy is now handily cheaper than oil and gas. Theres also a sizable amount of conservatives who are for a carbon tax since it's a "free market" solution instead of picking winners and losers.

  • There are a lot of reasons to dislike Musk, this is not one of them.

    When Elon came on board Tesla their business plan was to buy existing super cars and an existing electric drive train and then convert the super cars.

    This was all going to be done by hand in a workshop. They would do dozens of cars a year.

    Without Elon that's what they would be doing, he was behind the transition to building their own vehicles on their production lines and volumes comparable to normal manufacturers.

    That's why he won his lawsuit to be listed as a founder.

  • Do you drink hot coffee or tea or soup? Cause hot beverages are considered more likely to cause cancer than this designation for aspartame.

    Do you eat meat? Cause that's two levels higher than this designation for aspartame.

    Also the studies this ruling is based on indicates you would have to drink ~30 aspartame sweetened sodas a day to be at any risk.

  • To be fair, a lot of research had been held up by it being federally illegal.

    I think enough people have used it for long enough that we can assume it's relatively harmless but we can't say it's completely harmless just because the studies haven't been done.

  • That 50 year roof won't out live Ya, sorry to say. I had an 15 year roof when I bought and the insurance company forced me to get a new roof, according to my insurance broker most insurance agencies won't agree to insure a roof older than 10 years old. So if you aim to sell between that 10 and 50 year point that roof will have to be redone. It's stupid and fucking wasteful.
