jetz0r posted:it's plants from the time before cellulose could decay. Or swamps. Animal biomass is just a spice in the plant soup of hydrocarbons. Oil deposits exist younger than the carboniferous from when fungi developed the ability to decompose lignin. Oil is pretty much just dead algae. Many swamp deposits develop into coal of varying quality. Even then, the thought of algae living, breathing, and dying to be burned to get little Johnny to school in the burbs is too undignified for my heart to bare.

Mister Speaker posted:Yes, it's plant matter. I think all the people ITT posting about t-rex juice are being facetious, though. I actually wasn't aware, I always thought that coal was trees and oil was dead dinos. This thread has become educational for me.

I live in the middle of nowhere southern US and I'm starting to see multiple kei trucks driving around town. There's so much demand for smaller trucks that people out in the boonie are importing them.

I can't imagine having to spend like $80k or whatever for the latest Ford F1080Ti or whatever as a small landscaping business or something lol. Both outrageously expensive and way less useful.

They don't, because this is not actually a useful work vehicle in any way, it's just a way to write-off his personal vehicle for the guy who owns the business.

Fitzy Fitz posted:Every one of those idiots is insisting that the cyclist is wrong for going straight in a turning lane, but he would have been hit regardless. It's not even clear that he was going straight. He'd barely entered the intersection. I've never driven in australia but assuming it's like the US, the driver is at fault. He's in a lane that's clearly marked as straight only with solid white lines (so shifting lanes is illegal) and he makes an illegal left turn without signaling or yielding. lol i hate driving so much you put your life in the hands of people who have no idea wtf they're doing

i guess the situation has improved in recent years but rio de janeiro and sao paulo are both notorious for horrible traffic jams at like all hours of the day. obviously though there are more cities in brazil than those two. anyway brazil seems nice.

Copenhagen had a few centimetres of snow today. All the car commuters were very late and annoyed. But the bike paths on the major road part of my commute were fine and cleared. I did get a good chat with the boss about bike routes. I think he feels lazy and bad about taking the car too often, and I hope I'm pushing him towards more biking.

teethgrinder posted:Holy gently caress the boomer tears here in Toronto if any bike lane is ever cleared before every single road. A guy in my local subreddit pissed his pants and said cyclists should be banned because they piss everyone off "when they ride between stopped cars to get to the front." Cyclists filter like that to avoid dying in squeeze crashes. Dude is pissed about something cyclists do that doesn't hurt anyone and prevents them from dying needlessly. Just more evidence that driver resentment of cyclists is over cyclists moving faster than they do in city traffic.
