Comment EV's and the other 80% of the world? (Score 1) 130

Oh yeah, they can't afford them and don't have energy infrastructure to charge them and won't for 100 years. Thank you Tesla Musk wankers for encouraging a technology that will distract from technologies that have a chance. You know the reason Musk plays down hydrogen? Because he runs a business selling batteries, and doesn't really give two shits about the environment; he's trying to go to Mars with all the suckers money he can use to build his spaceships.

Comment Re:Peak superhero hopefully gone? (Score 0) 114

I think a lot of people are getting sick and fucking tired of shit comic book movies. And all comic book movies are shit. When they first came out they were a novelty nostalgia thing. And of course retards running Hollywood said, let's make dozens of the same thing with only costume changes and little variation. Half a dozen batmans, half a dozen spidermans, half a dozen supermans, villains, minor comic book characters, etc etc etc. There's a reason online streaming series and movies are so big and movie audiences are falling. Most movies in the theatres are comic book shit balls, and they charge through the nose for non-essential 3D or boomy thing sound, or whatever fucking idiocy they call an necessary hyped theatre configuration they make. Stop paying the actors tens of millions they don't deserve, there are thousands of actors out there who will do even better jobs and catch the public's attention. Stop the CGI and effects that cost tens of millions, a good story doesn't need it. Stop building full towns with complete buildings that no one will see the inside of just so you can burn them down 'realistically'. Reduce the production demands and staff that you don't need with all the bullshit comic stuff. Then pass the savings on to the consumers so they can pay less than ten dollars a person to get in the theatre where they won't need a mortgage to buy some popcorn and a drink. And use some of the savings to pay for real screen writers to give us stories we want to go see, and are worth watching again.

1) How is it more polluting if it is hydrolyzed using things like wind generators like planned in Newfoundland?
2) There are huge reservoirs of white hydrogen being discovered all around the world in the last few years. A massive one in Europe just recently.
3) It isn't about efficiency of storage, it's about distribution; but most of EV ostriches don't want to hear that.

We have existing models and distribution networks to move hydrogen. But 80% of the world can't even reliably distribute electricity reliably and continually for existing needs. But then again, the EV religion is all about the privileged class who are the only ones who can really afford battery cars right now. They don't care or even think about what others outside their social class think or can afford, never mind poorer countries who won't be able to build out the kind of power grids needed for battery vehicles. And they certainly don't think about transport of goods, or should I say the lack of transport. Due to trucks that will require half their rated weight load going to batteries to handle the kind of torque they require. That means more trucks to make up for the lost volume. Again, why think ahead when in their happy lives they only ever had to think about the happy path. No hard thinking about places that can't support their ridiculous world views.

Comment Sounds Like A Tesla Musk Sucker (Score 1) 104

Toyota (largest car maker in the world) and quite a number of other large companies still believe quite strongly in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. And there are findings of huge reserves of white hydrogen around the world, and green hydrogen facilities are in planning stages or being built to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. The EU will be mandating that hydrogen filling stations be built at least every 200km on highways. The EU and China are both pushing for more hydrogen vehicles. And no wonder, we already have ways to distribute it via existing distribution models and networks, ALL over the world. As opposed to electricity distribution which is just meeting demands today in only the highly industrialized areas of the world; that is, maybe 20% of the world's population. All the rest? So bad that daily blackouts are so common they are even scheduled (like in India).

So drinkypoo, you need to give your head a shake or get it out of your ass. It's people like you and your idol, Musk, that are preventing the world from moving on to other technologies that can actually end reliance on ICE vehicles.

This is complete bullshit. People can subscribe to Fox News on cable any time they want. For example, in the "News" package under Premium channels on this page for the Telus ISP. And no, I don't subscribe to Fox as it is utter trash. But I could if I wanted to. It is the same with all the other providers. https://static.telus.com/commo... In terms of Meta, they have blocked news media from any country being posted on Facebook or Instagram in Canada.

Comment Stupid law designed to fail (Score 3, Interesting) 405

There has been no work by the same government to ensure there is infrastructure to support said "non-ICE" vehicles. And supply chains will break when all transport trucks will only be able to carry one third to half of the existing loads because batteries will be taking up the rest.

Comment Re:I am not... (Score 1) 34

I often wonder if today's game code was built as efficiently as back then, how much better they would be. Back then they were limited by the hardware and code had to be tighter and less wasteful of resources. I've noticed that as hardware has improved by so many orders of magnitude, the quality of the gaming experience has not kept up at the same rate. I have to believe companies are trying to allow shittier coding be made up for hardware improvements; it's annoying as hell thinking about how games (and much else) could be running faster and with more interesting play. I hazard to think that reliance on multiple levels of frameworks has something to do with this.

If you care to read about it, it is easy to find documentation from scientists and biologists who generally agree that daylight savings time is not healthy as a year round system. They agree that standard time is much closer to what the human body clock runs on. We have evolved to wake up when the sun comes up, and forcing people to get up way earlier than that with year round DST is very unhealthy. https://aasm.org/aasm-experts-...
