making electrified transport a reality
Electrified rail remains the most efficient form of transportation and has been available since the late 1800s…
People are just so obsessed with cars that they ignored the safest, most efficient, and environmentally friendly option for over a hundred years.
I guess the future is bound to be filled with dangerous traffic with even heavier cars, and filled with millions of batteries filled with lithium mined by impoverished children.
Yeah, it is always the most frustrating feeling just seeing weeks of work go down the drain. Two years ago we had a really wet spring and then a really dry summer, somehow the combo made the grasshoppers go crazy. They ate my whole garden in like two days, made me feel like I was in the dust bowl.
There’s a reason humans started to live in larger settlements once we started agriculture. That shit takes a village to maintain and harvest.
Yeah, this is pretty much the only way to survive. Gardening alone isn’t really enough to feed yourself, especially without the help of modern petrochemical derived fertilizers and pesticide.
It really takes a community to grow enough food that you won’t be starving in the off-season. I have a fairly substantial organic garden and I wouldn’t really want to rely on it alone. Ive had too many seasons where a blight or bug just rips through them.
Yes, most far right parties are very nationalistic and based in populism. They typically are also very pro capitalism while being very anti socialism.
A parties view on cultural progressiveness isn’t the main determining factor wether or not they are far left or far right.
fitting on the traditional left/right spectrum.
Maybe if you are using the American definition of left and right… The traditional geopolitical definition of left and right has to do with economics not how woke you are.
By the traditional definition of left and right he is definitively right winged.
Wut? The man was literally a stock broker who constantly criticized socialism and communism. He’s obviously a fan of capitalism and all it entails. You know what you don’t get with communism… Elite billionaires who invite other elite billionaires to have sex with children on a privately owned island.
Fascism is running rampant through most Western styled democracies all over the globe. It’s a byproduct of late stage capitalism, instead of addressing the root problem that is causing wealth inequality, fascist and their wealthy backers are blaming everything on scapegoats.
The US is just the bellwether, but we’ve seen a very prominent rise in far right parties surging in even socdem countries.
Lol, so your claim is that people with excessive cholesterol levels require it because they are making more brain…?
No is claiming you shouldn’t have any cholesterol in your blood, just that there isn’t reason to have an elevated amount.
If your body actually needed the excess lipids being produced it wouldn’t be saturated in the blood, it would be getting used.
The body literally makes it because you need it
For what?
People with high cholesterol live longer…
I don’t think that’s really a conclusive study. It only focuses on people who are already 80 or older and ignores the majority of people who suffer from cardiovascular issues that don’t make it to their eighties because of it.
From this study you could also conclude that people who have a natural resistance to high cholesterol live longer.
Youd wanna lower arterial plaque so cholesterol doesnt get stuck?
Plaque forms when cholesterol lodges to the walls of arteries. This happens at a greater rate when you have more lower density cholesterol in your blood.
An arterial calcium scan is the best indicator for heart disease etc. Not cholesterol
But calcium buildups are formed from clacified plaque, which is made from cholesterol…
If all forms of high cholesterol were really beneficial Americans would modern day Methuselahs.
Kinda a crazy move considering that they were charging 8k for “fsd” before, and are moving to a monthly subscription of a hundred bucks a month.
You would have to own your Tesla for six and a half years for them to make the same return. My guess is that the hundred dollars a month is just the initial price which will drastically inflate over time. That or they are just going to raise prices by 8k and still charge you a subscription cost anyways…
Not when compared to the maintenance and cost of installing the amount of multi lane interstate and highways we currently have in the US.
Electric rail isn’t a solution for every commuter in the US, but it is the solution for most commuters, as 80% of Americans live in urban environments.
Also, the argument that America is too large to have rail isnt very logical when countries like Russia or China depend on it for the vast majority of their logistics.
