Maybe cleanup costs should be baked into the price of a building permit…

USA did it in 1991, day one of Desert Storm

Interesting, didn’t realize they had a geothermal loop in the concrete floors. I wonder if condensation will be an issue?

look at Mr Moneybags over here, able to afford a van down by the river

That extra weight will also mean that more force is required to accelerate and change directions.

The nimbleness of a vehicle can be expressed as the ratio:

(Tire Contact Area * Tire Stickiness) / Vehicle Mass

Increasing the vehicle’s mass while making the tires harder will lead to longer breaking distances and will cause a vehicle to understeer at lower speeds.

In a world with too many humans already, can you imagine painting a drop in the birth rate as somehow a bad thing?

lol

So this big breakthrough in tire technology is . . . making them harder and reducing their grip?

There’s no reason EVs have to be heavier forever

That’s a bit of a stretch, unfortunately. The energy density of batteries is nowhere close to that of gasoline - joule for joule, gasoline weighs about 100 times less than batteries. Also, a fuel tank big enough to give its vehicle a 400 mile range will get lighter over the course of the trip, as the liquid fuel gets converted into polluting gas and exhausted into the atmosphere - batteries don’t get appreciably lighter as you discharge them.

Agree that 400 miles range with charging stations as ubiquitous as today’s gas stations would help EV adoption. I do worry about the rollout of charging stations being slowed down by competition with expensive and fragile hydrogen tech (keep the hydrogen on boats and trains pls).

plot twist, cleaning up the source of that contamination would mean a local business endures lower profit margins. the bureaucrat who’s job it was to push the Approved! button got chased away from their terminal by a guy in a rubber mask who brought a fog machine and a projector

You gotta wonder WTF the French were thinking when they decided to force people into the sweltering insomnia of 80 degrees indoors at night just for the sake of creating the appearance that climate change is the fault of the dispossessed proletariat running air conditioners to survive global heating, and pretending like the owners of the means of production aren’t actually in a position to change how the economy functions.

run on “government bad”

get elected

govern poorly

“told you so”

you mean the patriarchy?

This legit sounds like bioweapons testing on the public.

096 has breached containment

why the hell would Mozilla be obliged to acknowledge this request?

That’s what I’ve been scratching my head about too. What leverage does Russia have to force them to do this? What consequences could they impose for non-compliance?

Does Mozilla own property in Russia? Sell it or write it off, then ignore the censorship request.

Do they have employees who live or have family in Russia? Either fire them or help them move, then ignore the censorship request.

None of the above? Perhaps it is we who need to fire Mozilla then.

Also, its probably safe to assume the producers will lie about how much they’re allowing to leak into the air.

There’s an app installed on your phone and a separate bluetooth device you keep in your car.

By default, it assumes you’re the driver of your car, but you can use the app to claim someone else was driving your car during a particular trip.

If you’re in someone else’s car, the app assumes you’re not driving because the bluetooth device in your car isn’t nearby.

what taking damage does to a mf’er

Or simply working out of troll farms in China or Russia while being bankrolled by Republicans in USA. Same M.O.

that would threaten Monsanto’s patents

Its the other cancer peddling shitheel this time. Syngenta owns the patent, making it completely justified for Greenpeace to prevent them from gaining control of the food supply, even if they have to use BS arguments about food safety to do so.
