Yes, because the study design does not prove causation.
Yeah, this is something many climate advocates say - that it is better to keep the car you have - but I don't think this is backed up by data at all. It's very clear that that EVs are able to save more carbon emissions than in a fairly short period than you would save by not continuing to drive an ICE vehicle, with manufacturing included.
If we were going to have a simple rule, replacing all ICE vehicles today with EVs will be far better for the climate than keeping them.
Money. Donate. There isn't a near term world where money won't matter in giving you a voice, so you should use it.
I think you just redefined a marriage. The function of marriage legally is all those "legal affairs".
That's also pretty true for people, unfortunately. People are deeply incapable of differentiating fact from fiction.
Things that have been improving:
- Global poverty rate (going down)
- Global average lifespan (going up)
- Global literacy rate (going up)
- Global internet access (going up)
- Global infant mortality and maternal mortality (going down)
The reality is, most of the world by many metrics is getting better over time. There are things that threaten this (climate change and increasing authorititarianism) and it has slowed, but overall we are still generally positive trajectory wise. In fact, I would say that in most metrics that matter, we are improving.
Limited visibility, limited comprehension, limited attention, and limited risk aversion.
My guess is that the vending machine is not owned by whoever put this up and the operator indicated they will be by to empty it.
It is definitely picking up very quickly currently. Far more common in the last couple years than before.
I can put my credit card number in any transaction directly, and so can anyone else. Digital payment can provide a random one time card number (at the expense of privacy, admittedly). Physical cards are absolutely not safer.
... Sodium Ion are already being sold in EVs.
I'd actually go with something like microfiche or nanofiche. Human readable (with some support from a microscope), lasts and incredible amount of time, and can be used as a very safe backup.
No, most of us are broke because we insist on ensuring that suburban mcmansions are the only places to really live. When you spend 30% on driving and 40% on housing, suddenly you are broke.
Attempting a coup is much harder with an opponent on the executive branch. The only reason the last one was close was because Trump was sandbagging the response. The only way one succeeds now is if the military facilitates the coup, aggressively, IMO.
This thread demonstrates the idealogical purism and lack of pragmatic political expectations from leftists and progressives. There is literally nothing the Biden admin can do that will ever be enough because it doesn't match some rosy fucking dreamland that only lives in your heads. Descheduling is huge, and signals the end of 100 years of madness with cannabis laws. If you want more, then we need to have more legislative power to implement it.
This is a fucking win, dumbasses.
What you are suggesting is a legislative action. The nation needs to provide enough legislative power to happen.
Tesla Autopilot is an automaton. When you put it inside of its failing conditions, it will fail 100% of the time. Like a machine.
So are people. People are laughably bad at driving. Completely terrible. We fail under regular and expected conditions all the time. The question, is whether the automated driving system (Tesla or not) does it better than people.
73% of Americans are overweight. They'll be just fine if they eat out less.
