Yea it fills some time. Enjoy.

This website fucking insane in all honesty.

Like I’m not going to say Elon is perfect. But on here they live in fantasy land. He seems to be living rent free in their head.

Space X is the biggest one where it becomes obvious how biased it is. Space X will public announced that they are testing something and expect it to fail. Then it does better than expected but doesn’t complete everything perfectly. Then everyone on here acts like the greatest space company in the world is failing singlehandedly because Elon is stupid and also an evil genius. Also that he has too much control and that is had too little.

Facts don’t matter here. Everyone is too fragile so free speech is scary to them.

Thus website doesn’t like any opinion that is anyway different to theirs. They want the echo chamber.

People live on top of mountains?

Were are these wind turbines being placed? I hiked to a farm once and had one at work.

Now, I’m not saying they are silent but unless you put one in my back garden I never thought of them as loud.

Sounds like a way to waste loads of money and keep people on fossil fuels.

Must be way cheaper to build more batteries and build out inertia. (Would still need backup power at this point though).

It’s Apple.

Plenty if people will pay that and think it’s an amazing deal for cutting edge, futuristic, elegant technology that no other company is providing.

Communism is great. You can spaff as much money up the wall as you want. Doesn’t matter, anything you want can be done.

Then you wonder why there is no food in the supermarkets.

The title is about why “Americans” aren’t buying EV’s. The excuse of them living in an apartment only applies to ~20% of the population.

That’s not enough to explain why Americans aren’t buying, just why 20% if Americans aren’t.

And like I said you don’t start with the most difficult and you don’t push a solution onto a problem when it isn’t the right solution anyway.

Depends what the point is. If we want to sell EVs for some goal of selling EVs that fine I guess. But it still goes back to the point of you start with the easiest 80% first.

But if we want to improve everyone’s life on this planet and the planet itself. Trying to convince people who shouldn’t own a car to buy an EV is very poor planning. It just so short sighted and consumerist for the sake of consumerism.

According to Quota its ~80% of people live in houses.

Classic 80:20 rule. Making excuses for why the most difficult 20% doesn’t work is the wrong way of thinking about it. Most of the result for least effort cones from dealing with the 80%.

What percentage of people live in apartments?

Surely those people should be taking public transport anyway not buying a car when they live downtown.

This is just a price to function issue.

If the price was 0 everyone would have one.

But the cost of it is way too high for what it is. Price and weight etc will come down. Uses will increase.

That’s the worst looking breakfast I have ever seen. Everything on there looks terrible.

I’d go toast, OJ and coffee. Fuck the rest.

Also a lot of people don’t use trains because of the last mile problem. (And because in america specifically they are a lower standard than they were in the 1800’s).

But if people could get a lift to the station and then to work. Or get the train 10 times a week and get a lift to and from the supermarket once a week without needing to buy a car. That will be a huge reclamation of space.

Could even be like a 10 lane (total) motorway going to two train lines and a two lane road. Not to mention the space it frees on minor roads.

No mention of precision fermentation.

I think a huge shift is coming to our food. Even if it’s easy things like milk, olive oil, palm oil.

But I think it’s coming for meat and I think it’s going to be the best thing to happen to the environment ever.

This has a huge potential to link up incredibly well with walking, cycling, micro mobility and trains and not to mention high density housing and/or green land. I hope that it is acted on.

The plane drones are quieter aren’t they?

Also cars are noisy as fuck and everyone acts like that are perfect in every way.

Don’t worry we already ate most of the fish. The remaining fish don’t need all the minerals they once did.
