Currently overhauling my gravel bike, first bit of significant maintenance I've done to it in 10 years (other than the occasional chain, brake pad, tires etc.). Super easy to do yourself at home, relatively cheap, most parts just need a clean and lube and should be good for another 10 years. A+ mode of transport, no notes.

yeah man I recommend simple green that stuff is cheap as hell

Hydro is typically considered baseload. Geothermal too. There's not enough of either to replace nuclear/coal, but they are good things.

Hydro has a lot of not very cool environmental impact though. It does however do great for baseload and if you really need, you can basically use it as a battery when you have too much sun or wind with pumps (or just closing the dam)

Usually, what isn't mentioned is that hydro is absolutely necessary for water management in many countries, the environmental impact is usually highlighted but not the beneficial impact on floods/droughts.

this is still passive tense actually. the active tense, proper journalist phrasing would be "bus driver runs woman over"

over the weekend some dude in an Infiniti blasted through the local beach parkway at 90mph and hit another car so hard it went into the Puget Sound and people had to form a human chain to rescue the woman.

someone in the local blog coverage said they saw the driver sitting on the sidewalk covered in blood and when the bystander told the driver he could have killed someone the dude said "I don't give a poo poo." and got back in his car.

then when the fire department showed up, they peeled the roof off his car to extricate him lmfao

a lot of folks want the beach access road just closed to private vehicles in the summer since there is a way to get to all of those businesses and houses with a private vehicle if you just go around the back way but...
