Maybe if you could generate some kind of carbon-neutral fuel, like extracting the CO2 from the air and processing it into fuel oil. At least you'd have net 0 carbon emissions. If you have unlimited clean energy at your disposal (which we do but lol) you can just electrolyze as much as hydrogen and oxygen as you want for some cool carbon free (but big) jets. Or move to battery powered, slightly slower propeller powered planes.

AC let's me suffer a little less while I am trapped living in this awful city, which I am certain would have been built even without AC.

wow mexico city looks like a dump. *looks out my window to a never-ending expanse of homeless encampments and shanty towns, a big truck dumping glowing toxic waste down the storm drain* I retract my statement!

IAMKOREA posted:you can't believe how well dogs have it in some parts of europe. they're first class members of society. stray dogs do not exist. almost every single dog is a pure breed, most with papers. like i said, you can take your dog to the movie theater or on the train with you no problem. so it's illegal for the same reason crating a 5 year old is illegal. although actually i think i was wrong about the country i live in, but it is illegal in several others here. that's still kind of weird, some dogs really like being in crates, it's their comfort zone, especially when they are anxious. Greyhounds are crated constantly on the track so it's a natural transition.

I wish my city had the carsharing where you just park it anywhere, instead of only in fixed lots. we only have two companies here as well. there are three lots within about 1.5 miles, but they only have four cars total lol

can't believe I've been taking my car (7.5 miles away, 10 min drive) to see my parents instead of our wonderful transit options walk to bus stop wait for bus ride bus a couple stops get off and walk to another bus stop wait for bus ride bus for 15 minutes walk 1.5 miles (lmao, just imagining this in a minnesota winter), btw this is in a suburb so it's very hostile to pedestrians total time 70 minutes oh and if you want to leave after 11:30 pm, the next transit option isn't until 4:30 am

Maybe if you could generate some kind of carbon-neutral fuel, like extracting the CO2 from the air and processing it into fuel oil. At least you'd have net 0 carbon emissions. Carbon neutral algae biofuel could probably work eventually and attracted a lot of speculative investment cash for a while. Then people realized they can just keep burning normal jet fuel for way cheaper and the money dried up. Maybe in 20 years, assuming investing is still a thing then. wrt cars people traded a lot of nice land and forest for parking lots and tacky McMansions. Good deal.

Some dingus wrote a song that says "they paved paradise to put up a parking lot" fifty-one loving years ago and americans spent the time since just paving more paradise and putting up more parking lots so that they could drive their cars around like total dipshits with the radio on listing to "they paved paradise to put up a parking lot" on the way to the mall so they can shop for lovely jeans that fit their fat asses while the music that gets piped in plays "they paved paradise to put up a parking lot" Anyhow, that'll be one ticket to the tree museum please.

This is the worst waste of gas, at the end of the race you're back where you started. If you absolutely have to race, get a horse and pump it full of steroids. Bonus: if you lose, you can eat it and your balls will get a lot smaller from all the roided' out meat you'll be eating. Then you'll be more aerodynamic for the next horse. Repeat until you win.
