  • That is true. I do think we should retire pure ICE cars as soon as possible. If you need to do long distances, a hybrid that could be converted might be a good intermediate solution. If you only need a car sporadically, a car sharing platform with electric cars is a good solution. These already exist in big eu cities. Ofc good and adorable public transport is nr 1.

    Decreasing the amount of cars would decrease emissions short and long term more than the current shift to EV and would make shifting easier as there are just fewer to replace.


  • I put very minimal calculation which at least puts it around the same order and linked a report by Volvo where they try to count the whole cycle of a car with the emissions of the production and transport of used parts and fuels.

    On current electricity mix, an electric car is only slightly better on a CO2 emissions. With only renewables, it can be 2x better.

    But the statement that in China it’s at least better than a Prius is just wrong. Until renewables take a serious share of the grid, a smaller well engineered hybrid is not worse.





  • Yes, if the speed you go in wouldn’t the speed you go out, you’d be ripped apart.

    In portal (the whole point of this joke), it happens instantly an works like walking through a door. If your hand is through, it’s at the other side and the rest of your body isn’t.

    If you would travel at the same direction and speed of the train, you could step through and be stationary at the other side. If you stand still and the train travels to you, the only “logical” answer is that you fly out the other side or be ripped apart.

    I dislike a lot of the shock advertising they do, but most of what you point out is anecdotal and mostly spread as a laster campaign, because they actually do have an impact on animal welfare and that’s not in the best interest of the ppl behind these laster campaigns.

    About the shelters, what should happen with all the excess pets that are bought and then dumped? At least peta tries to take down bad kennels and does something about the stray population. It’s all nice having a no-kill shelter, but these either don’t take all pets or get to big that it’s just unhygienic and sad. If the shelter refuse any ill or old pet they can’t place, these pets either end up on the street or in a shelter that takes any pet and does euthanize.

    Peta also gets called for stray pets in terrible condition or that are aggressive that probably always have to be put down.

    Their kill rate will probably be quite high, but I have no idea who made up the 80% and what would be included in that number.

    Newer linux games on steam are compiled to run in containers in the same way as a flatpak. They could break it a security patch would break some vague hack in de game, but these should be minimal. These containers are only released ever other year and keep being supported so there isn’t really any serious compatible problem there. The first Linux games on steam like team fortress 2 ran partially on the system libraries and that caused lots of problems, especially when these get older.

    With the snipperred Linux desktop, containers are the only viable solution.
