Unfortunately, stupid heartless people are a dime a dozen.

A couple that lived near me had a little thai cat, a sweet of an animal. They would let the cat out daily.

At some point, they just decided to leave the country and abandoned the cat.

The creature became the neighbourhood boss. Killed several males in fights, some even larger, fought off dogs, became a ferouscious hunter and never agaim entered a house.

That cat was king of the street for three years until one of his own blood dethrowned him.

I’d risk the same concept could be applied to all EVs, which would enable these vehicles to last longer.

That’s a thing?

If anyone hasn’t seen it, I’d recomend watching “Dredd”, with Karl Urban.

The man is in frail state. I’m not wishing his death but does he have to keep “producing”, as a proper slave to politics, or is he deserving of going as painlessly as possible with as little suffering as humanly attaineable?

Except for when people get bad trips. Then it gets from sad to phychotic.

And it is so easy. With no need for anchoves.

You can make the bread with corn flour and starch. Or even potatoe starch.

Past mistakes can’t be undone. Diferent time, diferent people, diferent way of thinking. I’m on that boat - pun intended - with you. My country started the trans-oceanic slave trade. A lot of bad juju on my ancestors tally, there.

What I do enjoy is joking with the way my country chose to settle on new lands. Most opted for iron and gunpowder, we opted for the go forth and multiply approach. The dutch were thwarted to invade Brazil because the people living there claimed Portuguese descent.

You guys could have chosen a different way to settle in those lands besides going all crazy for gold and wiping out the Aztecs in the process.

While you were doing that, my country was shipping off boats full of horny guys to fuck into existence our own settlements.

Make love, not war!

I’ll have mine with tuna, olives and pineapple, please.

The man’s frailty and dwindling health was visible. I sincerely hope a therapy can be found to mitigate suffering but let’s not hold illusions: it reached the bone, it’s aggressive; the man does not have much time.

Is that wine or paint? Wine washes off, unless you boil the stain into fabric.

I’m going to risk that is going to last for a very long time.

You’re blaming landlords/homeowners? Just blame lazy humans as a given and be done.

I’ve bought a house nearly 80 years old and the poor girl has had so much paint put on it, if it was makeup, it would be a rubber mask.

And it was done by tennants! Not the landlords, not the owners, the tennants! The answer was putting on a fresh coat of paint every year. And preferably in different colour from the previous.

The result was a mess of a house I bought for a really low price but needing a ton of love and maintenance. With 80 years old prime woods covered with paint that never belonged there to begin with.

It would be a sure way to have this technology properly funded and true recycling being done: all sharks would jump at having the opportunity to make fuel at the price of pennies.

But do we need more cars running on it as it is?

In my country, the communist party (very watered down version of communism but still) is behind/aligned with most unions and they defend that companies should either be owned by the employees (co-ops) or employees should have a stake and saying on companies governance.

We have another left-wing party that even defends that failing companies should be returned to the employees, with government backed funding (loaned) if necessary to recapitalize the business and relaunch the company under employee governance.
