Last night I purchased a little sticker of a frog holding a pride flag to stick on my window and I blast a lot of Kim Petras E: oh man, in person, not in cars? Ask how many hectares you can get on a single tank of kerosene The Door Frame fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Sep 14, 2023 |

I have a Bernie sticker next to a "fine, Biden 2020. But this is BULLSHIT" sticker and it took my most deplorable neighbor like ten visits to notice it, which is pretty funny. I'd love to not ever see people like that ever, but there are only like 10 houses on our 1+mile street and he keeps inviting himself over. I haven't seen him since then now that I think about it...

I assume it means someone who commands a WWII tank with the ghost of 19th-century Confederate general J. E. B. Stuart, who is sent by the spirit of Alexander the Great to act as a guardian over his two namesakes, Lieutenant Jeb Stuart (named Jeb Stuart Smith in the early stories, eventually shortened to Jeb Stuart) and the M3 Stuart he commands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haunted_Tank

If you are using it as shorthand to describe a set of very pathetic Chinese /Russian authoritarian bootlickers who go out of their way with the AMERICA BAD and try to excuse the very real human rights abuses, genocide and current war of said authoritarian regimes, thats probably good enough.

I haven't had that much unwanted attention from old men since I rode a motorcycle to work in uniform every day, and got regaled with "I hadda one of them crotch rockets** when I was your age, did 250MPH on it one time and then realized I'd kill myself if I didn't sell it!" *TBF, a few were genuinely curious, and we had nice conversations about range and charging and other EV stuff you don't see in magazines. **An FZ6, outfitted for touring, is not a "crotch rocket" you stupid loving boomer.

Generally when I'm out on the Zero people are curious and sometimes excited, but you'll definitely get the crazies who see an EV and decide to unload their brain worms on you. The last one made it about 4 sentences before he invoked Soros. Always fun predicting which it'll be when one comes ambling up to me.

Electric cars are fun. 99% of the time it’s just a fig leaf on boring old climate denialism, they’re not actually interested in pursuing any better alternatives or even carving out a future where interested people can still hold onto gas cars for fun or preservation purposes by coming to the table in any meaningful way the idea that a robust public transit system might benefit car enthusiasts in any single way, let alone several, doesn’t even begin to cross their mind, because their only idea of any solution to anything is rolling the policy clock back thirty five years

It's more energy efficient to burn tons of coal in a massive power plant than burn mL's of gasoline in an ICE so I guess it evens out in the end. I don't mind if finding a gas station is like finding a kerosene pump in the future and gas is $19 a gallon, I just want to hear my engine make noise while I drive my garage queenCommieGIR posted:Oh, I'm aware.

With VTL and time of use charging, EVs could actually help stabilize California's electric grid. They need to nationalize PG&E anyways. The loving hippies need to start demanding nuclear power instead of fighting it too, though CA is possibly one of the worst places in the world to build nuke plants, you can build them elsewhere and truck the power in. Mass transit is the way forward, but using myself as an example, in 5 years I'll be able to take the train to work, for now.

Exporting pollution to other places via EVs has worked well for a lot of cities, LA included. In 2001, you could clearly see the hills north of the Valley about 10% of the time you came over the Sepulveda pass, now it's 9.5/10 days it's clear and lovely. Sunset intensity is decreased.
