1st of April was 2 days ago, was there an editing delay? In any case, there is only 1 Matrix movie, it was released in 1999 and I went to watch it in the theater 7 times. I have heard rumors about sequels but only that, they don't exist, whatever exists is not the Matrix, to make a movie like that one needs balls...
I wanted a weekend driver and got myself a 2014 Boxster, no way in hell that would have been an automatic, that car is for fun and has nothing to do with any 'retro' crap. I wouldn't be caught dead driving an EV though.
Doesn't that chart show it in the middle, so pretty abundant? Why are there so many abandoned copper mines (e.g. in Ajo, Arizona) that become uneconomical because prices crashed, not because the copper ran out?
Why hype the zero-sum idea that the low efficiency is a hard limit that can never be exceeded, so everyone should just give up now and if not I'll cut your funding till you give up, because obviously this type of thing is just hype and no, I'm not hyping anti-hype at all, because wouldn't that be self-unaware, and am I not the Captain of this rational, super-consistent story I'm telling here?
"see! you don't need to worry about climate change! You can keep driving your Hummer!"
Why is that preference so distasteful to you, even if the pollution produced could be mitigated? Are you trying to change hearts and minds by using science to legislate your particular arbitrary preferences?
Does nature like it warmer like in the Jurrasic?
Are you saying that the free market externalizes costs like methane containment, and thus rationalizes not recycling because it's too expensive when you can just landfill your waste and let nature (or could the Fed buy climate bonds that would pay to contain it?) handle the methane?
If you examine the Sankey diagrams on the Lawrence Livermore National Labs site, will you too conclude that two-thirds of electricity generated is basically sent to ground because there is no human demand for it? Thus Washington has so much excess hydropower it sells it to needy states like California?
Do you realize that the Bonneville Power Administration (or Authority?) way overproduces electricity and could run at much higher capacity full time instead of turning off generators at night? Have you heard the hum of powerline wires? Can you imagine so much excess electricity crammed into the wire not demanded anywhere that it tries to arc into thin air?
I run a number of companies, I am not under illusion that my companies are here forever, however I also am against government bailing out my companies should they fail. They should be then restructured or shut down, whatever. I haven't worked for someone permanently since 2000, so I don't understand this idea that there shouldn't be unemployment or emoyment should be at 100% and I am against government setting that up as well, as it means unnecessary money spent on jobs that shouldn't exist. Yes, I am against government bailing out anyone, I am against government taxing work, income of any kind, preventing businesses from making their own decisions What exactly do you think a government drone knows about running any business, mine or yours or whatever business? However they can bail it out and create amazing amounts of waste dojng it.
It is completely unnecessary to spend tax money to support any company, be it a bank, a hospital, a private rocket launcher, a farm or a software company. Of course all of this is done, all of this is wrong and all of this just breeds incompetence, corruption and graft. Governments shouldn't decide what business lives or dies, it should be exclusively done by competing in the open markets. Imagine how much money is wasted maintaining things that shouldn't even exist, money that could be spent productively, on things people actually need.... money is time measured in life hours.
Instead we should turn everything into indestructible plastic instead, because biodegradable plastic will release CO2.
DOT.... they should talk, after doing what they have done that raised the number of deaths due to commercial trucks now operating at maximum speed with completely tired drivers due to all the stuff they did since the 2019... the results were as expected, which means 'nobody could have seen it coming' in political speak. They would never admit to being complete idiots, now they want more control over other stuff. They are going to get it.
You don't know me, so it doesn't matter. I fly maybe 50 times a year, seriously. I drive a few cars, I do drive quite a bit in some days, and I have to 'charge' (buy gas at a pump) somewhere in the middle of a day, I have to do this fast and keep going because of business and because of many personal things I have to do. This entire thing doesn't work for me at all. I buy plane tickets without long planning, I mean I buy them and fly the next day most of the time, I purchase them on the way back (I don't know from where I will be flying back), basically this is what I consider normal life and what I consider necessities of life. There is no chance I would have time in my day to plan my day around charging my work car, which is just a mode of transportation and it has to be ready in the moment's notice at any time. I also have a car, that I drive for fun for example, it's not an electric, it's a fun car, I like it. I don't actually like electric cars, I get sick in them, I could get one when they get good but just as a curiosity.
