thought of what dreams may come, went to look at the wikipedia articlequote:While vacationing in Switzerland, pediatrician Chris Nielsen meets artist Annie Collins. They marry and have two children, Ian and Marie. Their idyllic life ends when the children die in a car crash. Four years later, Chris is also killed in a car crash. Unaware that he is dead, and confused that no one will interact with him, Chris lingers on Earth. lol

The Italians are disgusting I didn't even realize the NPR show ended in 2017 because, just like the rest of NPR, it was background noise that ceased to exist when I turned the car off.

https://usa.streetsblog.org/2024/01/29/report-we-should-stop-subsidizing-evs-for-all-and-focus-on-super-drivers lmfao quote:According to a sprawling new analysis conducted by the pro-EV nonprofit Coltura, roughly 10 percent of U.S. motorists — or 21 million people — are driving an average of 110 miles every day. And because those same motorists are more likely to drive fuel-inefficient vehicles like SUVs and pick-ups, they collectively account for 35 percent of the nation’s total annual gasoline use — only slightly less than the fuel consumption of the entire population of China, and nearly 60 percent more than the entire European Union.

they probably just didn’t dump enough, that’s why it didn’t work. they should try dumping more tires into the ocean, it’s worth a shot.

the horror show of conservation 50+ years ago. do some colossal dumb thing and then see what happens instead of experimenting small scale first. the critical failure of tire reefs besides that they are toxic is that the tires are loose and move around

so what you’re saying is that they needed to weigh the tires down by also dumping car batteries on top

All of our waterways are full of tires anyway because people don't want to pay to dispose of them properly. I used to drag a bunch out of streams every year at volunteer events.

This, except bike tires. I tried to dispose of one responsibly once, and figured out the reason they all get dumped on the river.

Fitzy Fitz posted:So, is Circuit propped up by mountains of VC money like all the other surprisingly affordable app-based transportation services? quote:A company called Circuit has been contracted to run a fleet of eight all-electric shuttles around the downtown portion of Bellevue. Of course, they might be doing some sort of gig thing to get around the minimum wage. But that's a de facto subsidy in my mind, since I don't think cities should be employing people like that. If you bump it to four drivers at a time, that's four months, more if they need benefits. This is to say nothing of any of the other personnel necessary to make this work.

The free electric shuttle in San Diego seemed mainly used to ferry drunk people from one bar to another two or three blocks over and maybe a few more to the waterfront. Which sounds very stupid, except there were some dangerous street crossing where cars and drunk people do not mix, so it probably saved a few otherwise-smashed pedestrians.

Lmfao almost all the kilometers of those Via Rail lines run once a week when they're not cancelled for several years cause the tracks are poo poo or the rolling stock is worn out. Oh and the Corridor (the lines with actual service where half the Canadian population lives) hasn't had baggage cars for a good half decade now and we don't know when they're coming back.

amtraks website keeps returning an error so i cant confirm this is still true, but, i recall looking at possibly taking a train from houston (where i live) to new orleans, and learning that the train only goes one way. or in other words it's not that much slower than driving to go from houston to new orleans, but if you want to return you have to catch the exact same route which goes to chicago and arizona before finally hitting houston again. great! real convenient.
