Yeah, one of my aunts commented how she paid for her college by "waiting tables" during the summer and I was pretty annoyed by it. I wanted to reply "Okay, so take the average cost of going to college including tuition/housing/meals/etc today versus how much you can make over a summer vacation waiting on tables, how long do you think it would take to pay back the high interest student loans? Years? Decades? Centuries? My bet is on Infinity by the way."

The truth is the border crisis and debt will completely cease to exist the exact zeptosecond a republican takes office in the white house, and will not return again until the exact zeptosecond a democrat takes office in the white house, just as it has always been. Republicans/conservatives love to complain about the border crisis/debt, but they absolutely hate any idea of actually doing anything about them. "No! Not that way!" A conservative in another internet forum I used to frequent seriously suggested putting machine gun nests/emplacements all along the border (and this was back in the Obama years). So basically any realistic solution proposed to address the border crisis will fail with republicans/conservatives because it would not be nearly racist enough to get their support.

So they admit the republican proposals on the border crisis are useless and won't work?

Phlegmish posted:I would assume they're being given fake engine sounds so people can hear them coming and not die from getting run over. Are these huge EVs even a thing? I don't think I've ever seen them in Europe. Just seems like an excuse to make a cartoon about 'fragile masculinity', but maybe it's a big trend in the US. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGAZkn11hcw Yeah, fragile masculinity is a thing, 100% a thing.

Its a dodge, they will literally run down their batteries more by making fake revving sounds than they will by actually driving them. Especially at night when you are trying to sleep.

And the one where the border patrol rolls out the red carpet and the reasonably well dressed and groomed migrants follow it looking fairly calm and dignified. Like... what part of them is bad or scary?

seiferguy posted:The biggest issue with EVs is the massive torque they give to spin the tires, which wrecks them fast. It's not uncommon to see tesla drivers say they need new tires after a mere 15k driving on them because drivers launch em. It's not limited to tesla as well, because rather than looking at EVs as an alternative to gas power and a potential way to reduce CO2, manufacturers have decided to make them luxury cars, having them get bigger and stronger and to the point that the size of them makes them hardly any better than internal combustion cars. The Hummer EV has one of the worse environmental impact ratings, and the best one isn't even an EV, it's plug-in hybrids. This whole conversation of course ignores that we've built infrastructure around requiring cars, loving over public transit and demonizing the idea of 15 minute cities. Nobody should ever buy a Hummer EV, but it still has a lower carbon impact than basically any modern "light truck" or SUV you see hundreds of on the road daily hauling fat bastards to work or the grocery store. Also on tires, one of the easiest ways to make a high efficiency/low rolling resistance tire specific for EVs is to start with less tread depth right from manufacturing. It should be no surprise to anyone that high performance vehicles which lean on the heavy side will more quickly wear out their already thin from the factory tires. There isn't actually anything specific to EVs that burn up tires faster than an ICE vehicle with the same weight/power would. That being said, EVs are probably always going to have a fair amount more power/torque than ICE vehicles in the same class because it is just easier to get that kind of instant power output from batteries. Like recently I saw a video on youtube where some lunatic wired up a huge bank of lead acid batteries and used them to instantly melt/explode various nuts/bolts/metal tools/etc, and at one point in the video he did some napkin math based on the voltage drop during a discharge to calculate out that the bank was putting out around 3 megawatts or 4000 horsepower. Absurd power and torque is just a thing EVs are going to have because both are just so easily accessible with batteries and motors.

Also typically makes a nice break from just yelling how much we hate Sinfest / Tatsuya Ishida to actually articulating why.

seiferguy posted:I love these supposed crocodile tears over NPR bias. Also I just find it amusing how constantly pissed off Payne is over electric vehicles that he works some anti-EV thing into practically all of his comics. Despite increasingly hating Elon Musk I daily a Tesla (I bought it before he really tore the mask off okay) and somehow it just existing being a thing that pisses off Payne brings some additional satisfaction to me beyond the fact that it is just a really good daily driver/appliance vehicle. I don't ever want to go back to an ICE vehicle after driving an EV for years, it is life changing better in pretty much every way. And I very much look forward to the distant future when I'm not awoken several times in the average night by some douche driving by in an insanely loud open pipe exhaust truck/suv or even lovely car where someone ripped the catalytic converter out. The city would be so much quieter and more pleasant if everyone was driving EVs.

Cue the typical "How horrible this kind of thing happening in our quiet little rural town!"
