Who downvoted this?

You're dragging my memory back something like 20 years, but I feel like there was one he decided to get naked in summer and just stop for a few minutes. Nothing life threatening at that moment.

Could have been one of the 3 times he was warned winter was coming, but he was too distracted.

What do I look like, a person with a lawn mower, shovel and an angle grinder?

I've seen and used them. Not for 10 years or so though.

I've got and used them.

Making sure I'm reading this right - are two and 4 strokes oriented differently? I always thought both were above the cylinder.

Jokes on you, I never did most of that anyway.

Also still got the gas can from pre covid.

Hope they get shot - this is literally the logic for a conceal carry.

I think they go better as the long burn log to toss on once its already going. Moreover if you can stack a few up.

It was the sequel, and he's not naked. He realized when one exploded infront of him and a (frozen) fragment got lodged in his hood

Until you realize that interference with the "timeline" means many of the battles never happen, new tactics can be countered, and modern logistics require strong communications - you have info on the wrong war.

A boomer with non-gps ICMS would literally make a world of difference. Hell, transporting a modern university and all its research, staff and equipment could make a world of difference. Include climate change results.

Id actually bring back the power to pirate.

The amount of effort that has gone into trying to extract every possible stream dollar makes me just wanna fuck the system. I am happy to pay to watch or play something, but pirating is the only way to get it without being ripped, "this is no longer available" or "buy this other platform and make an account".

Steam and GoG got alot of my money because I could buy what I actually wanted. I would have happily paid for a soap2day app that allowed me to just select and watch stuff. The amount of 90s cartoons I could show the kids...

Hes never had a good run

She'll just shake it off

No bad blood there

Its not like everything has changed

(Promise im not a swiftie, I just like puns)

Those are female mantis

While I'm aware it's much newer its got similar vibes to history of the world

You are worth it!

If we go down that path you're also forgetting the energy costs of manufacturing, distribution, installation and maintenance of the renewable producers. Definitely haven't forgotten the need for a snarky comment though.

You can say "this is better, forget everything else" or you can look at the wider systematic concerns and solutions and actually succeed.

To start with I fully agree with your last paragraph- no arguement here.

You're right on recyclability, the problem is that they aren't because the infrastructure isn't in place or profitable. There is also the fact the earth doesn't actually contain enough of the rare earth minerals to give everyone an EV (This is off memory, cant place the source).

That's a very weird comment - first part is really hard to read and you've accused me of not arguing in good faith without anything to suggest as much. If im reading this correctly

• Evs are comparable in manufacturing carbon. I don't have the numbers but believe Evs are much higher due to rare earth mining, and that is before considering the environmental damage due to mining, social costs involved and considering the lack of standards where they are mined. Make no mistake, fossil fuel mining isn't much better in this regard but it is a well known beast.

You then have the whole argument on how that power is actually generated. Mass power generation is much more efficient than small ICE, but it does still add up if its not using renewable sources.

Regarding battery efficiency- yes I agree they will get better the same way ICE did.

The other point is that the EV swap delays other advances - walkable cities, car centric infrastructure, mass transportation. If we cut carbon by 50% but it delays 0% by decades did we actually achieve anything?

Yes, if you are only considering the individual's carbon cost and power is generated via 100% renewable means.

Something like 80% of China power is fossil fuels. Admittedly large scale power generation is more fuel efficient, and I don't have the full numbers of carbon cost of manufacturing, but its important to keep in mind that carbon costs didn't just disappear overnight.

Another consideration is that Evs still drove car centric culture. If each EV saved 50% of a vehicles lifetime carbon, but it doubled the time for mass transport to be more widely adopted, lengthened the time for cities to prioritize other means of transport and city design, and means we as a society made 50% more vehicles did we actually save anything?
