with the true remedy lying in ending the international conflicts.

And replacing as many as possible diesels with renewable fuel and EVs

I did see one of those briefly, before it went away.

Somehow Amazon has been all electric delivery trucks for over a year. That’s all I see anymore

Do they not understand that greenhouse gas emissions spread out through the entire atmosphere?

Could also use their pre-merger names, from when our environment was being destroyed by more than a handful of global mega-corps. Tropical storm Exxon AND hurricane Mobil

I’d settle for first mile. Boston’s “Big Dig” from a couple decades ago missed one fundamental piece to straightening out traffic downtown: they built a “haul road”. This allows trucks to avoid some traffic while bringing out cargo from the port.

I don’t understand how this wasn’t a train

You don’t even have to save that much. I spent my 20’s putting away 7-10% and was on track to retire early. Then life happened: I had to do an emergency withdrawal and could not contribute anymore. Then I lost half the remainder in a divorce. Now I’m approaching retirement age wondering how long they’ll let me work

Anyway, not trying to one-up anyone’s misery, but wanted to make it clear that even starting off right with retirement savings isn’t always enough.

I’m in the US so of course it was a medical emergency. Even with “good” insurance, it was a financial disaster

A scenario closer to winning is instead of only building infrastructure for cars, we build a comprehensive transportation system where people could choose the best mode for any given purpose.

You might ask yourself why everything is dependent on roads and whether that even makes sense?

And if you disagree with the idea of car and truck owners paying their fair share, perhaps a different proposal?

Plus there are always new and fun chemicals added to tires

That’s splitting hairs - usually the debt is financed by defining a revenue stream to pay it

I guess it depends on the stain. Maybe there’s good reason Vance needs a white couch

It’s not humanity, it’s a Republican convention and the person at the Mike who could have most readily responded is a sitting Republican senator

Don’t they all have auto-shutoff?

Does not help. If you don’t notice the burner is hot, you’d think the flame would be obvious. It’s not

My new stove beeps when it is on but there’s no pan which seems like a good idea at first, but that means it yells at me when I pick a pan up such as to help the butter or oil spread around

Thanks

I’m trying to figure out how to afford EVs for my kids and it’s not happening 🙁. They have no way to charge at home, but still …. Also wondering if I can mod a slate truck to look sort of Jeep like (I’m realistic about my chances of going off road intentionally)

Imagine running out of electrons, having to walk miles to the nearest facility to fill up your bucket, then walk all the way back with electrons sloshing out all over the place

It’s about time we got slapped in the face with reality

I’m fine with that. Maybe a little Darwinism will help raise our average iQ

I rented minivans to move my kids into their dorms, and they had outstanding mileage. That was my “truck” requirement

Hot single couches in your area want to meet you!
