Kindness is Punk

No Donnie, you’re not that kind of Dodger! You’re a draft dodger!

I mean, that’s the Republican strategy, right?

Make up a bunch of easily disprovable lies about what your oppenents doing, then when your opponent calls you out, it sounds like nonsense.

The cat is owning it, as a warning

The party of small government everyone.

Yup, it was a requirement for the job.

For the production of the tank itself or the likelihood of environmental impact?

Here is an article about the tank, it appears to still be in the proof of concept stage. As for my conjecture that it would likely have a high carbon impact during production that was based mostly on similar studies ₂ done on the production of cars.

true but we figured out things before like this when computer tech was rapidly changing so I do think it’s possible while definitely having its challenges.

we need an alternative to needing a manufacturer specific part that costs nearly $15,000 and weighing in a ton and requiring a crane to replace.

I guess both? I know climate wise the manufacture of those things cannot be climate friendly.

Getting troops for “administrative and clerical functions” bullshit.

I think EV battery cells should be standardized and modular to reduce difficulty of replacement and make replacements cheaper and more available so that it could extend the useful lifespan of the car. If you could replace your battery with an off the shelf equivalent used EVs would hold a lot more value.

And Hyundai is making hydrogen powered tanks, what a world. I wonder if hydrogen fuels poses any unique risks as compared to petrol.

We love GOG here. It makes me sad the amount of devs that don’t release on GOG because I’d buy them in a snap.

It’s more and more common to see private religious schools opening up to me and they’ve relaxed how closely they need to follow federal guidance on outcomes. I’m so worried for those children, literally having their future sold away because of a culture war.

Who could have possibly predicted that Trump would side with Putin? What an utterly shocking development if only there had been years of obsequious praise, leaked intelligence to Russian officials, and repeated calls to dismantle NATO as clues! Truly, nobody saw this coming.

don’t give them ideas

Poll: Americans overwhelmingly want Trump to obey court rulings, but MAGA Republicans are split are traitors.

FTFY

Honestly I don’t mind trucks or SUVs specifically but vehicles are getting way too big on average, I mean the F150 is North America’s best selling vehicle (*edit: I have since learned as of 2024 that spot actually belongs to the RAV4) since forever. It’s a problem of misaligned incentives.

There’s an exception carved out for large vehicles in the EPA guidelines that hold them to less stringent emissions standards which incentivizes building larger vehicles 1

Large cars are also incentivized by our crash safety rating system which only takes into account the mortality rate of those inside the car as apposed to average related fatalities. This means it will prioritize safety of those in the vehicle, which has led to our average fatalities increasing. 2

As an unintended side effect this also damages roads much faster because vehicle weight per axle determines the magnitude of the damage a vehicle does to the road. 3 anecdotally this makes me concerned for the additional weight that electric cars add.

Also as vehicles increase in weight the amount of microplastics put into the air as a by product of tire wear increase. 4

As cars increase in size (and therefore weight) the downsides are exponential.

it’s amazing how Republicans keep proving they’re just the worst people imaginable and every four to eight years after they’re ousted for being the horrible people that they are people forget and let them back in

I understand it’s a consequence of the first past the post system but it just sucks.

i prefer mine a bit lighter but that is one admirable piece of toast
