This.y ICEV can drive 550 miles between fill ups. I can go 8 hours without stopping. Even better with dynamic cruise control and lane keeping assist. If you haven't checked out the Travel John, it really helps. Basically a bag you can urinate in, with a polymer that absorbs the liquid. Perfect fkrnlong drives.

Once in a while even ChatGPT makes a mistake. This has to be something AI added to the article.

We're still here, but in much smaller numbers. The level of discourse has really declined, too.

They study air samples trapped in arctic ice. We have the technology to collect core samples of the ice thanks to oil drilling. The cause of, and solution to, all our problems! (credit to The Simpsons)

Gasoline is cheaper now than it was 17 years ago. Think about that for a minute. Even with inflation and a devalued dollar, gasoline costs less than nearly 2 decades ago. We cannot hope for expensive oil to reduce CO2 production.

Kick your seat? The theaters around me only have the luxury lounge seats. There's a wall behind every seat, no kicking at all.

But will it seamlessly replace my iCloud?

It's the amount of food people eat due to depression and poor mental health. This turned into a global issue after the pandemic.

Is that a bad thing? We know how many people are needed to pay into Social Security each year. This would give us a good number so we know how many immigrants to approve for a forecasted year.

Perhaps your wearable could be some sort of headband or ring.

I misread and thought you wrote vacations. I think a mandatory vacation law would help us more than wearables.

I usually post in Support of EVs. I think they're inevitable, but this news makes me think they're not a good option. What happened to street cars and inter-urban-rail? This was common before Henry Ford made cars affordable (pardon the pun). I don't see why these can't come back. Yes, people would walk and bike more, too. That's not a bad thing.

It's not mean to reduce the flow rate on gasoline pumps. It helps people with the unavoidable transition to EVs. 80 years ago, offshore rigs in the Gulf of Mexico were extracting oil at 100' ocean depth. Now, they're drilling at a mile of ocean depth. In 80 years we have depleted the resource that took 100 million years to produce. It's not coming back, ever. You can argue in favor of this article. It is time for synthetic fuels. You can argue for EVs. Or you could argue that Earth is 6,000 years old and oil is constantly produced in ample quantities continuously. I am squarely in the second camp and only see synthetic fuels as a transitional fuel on the way to EV. Similar to those Compact Fluorescent Bulbs the government mandated that were eventually replaced by LEDs, with no government mandate.
