This. Exactly this.

Exactly. We’re a minority but it’s still like 15%-20% of the overall problem that’s addressable.

given the source of the energy most EVs use :/

What? This is hilariously wrong.

A profoundly filthy coal power plant has multimillion dollar filtration the size of your damn apartment. That gross coal is scrubbed more than the gasoline from any vehicle possibly could be.

In a first world country it’s not possible to have an electric car as dirty per joule as a gas vehicle.

Further, the powertrain is direct and therefore dramatically more efficient, so on a distance basis you get an additional multiplier. That’s where the EPA MPGe comes from - total energy content of 1 gallon of gasoline, converted to range on the electric vehicle.

That’s about 33 kWh in one gallon, which is about half the total storage capacity of my Bolt EUV 2023 (65 kWh) which has about 240mi of range on a full charge, which is why the MPGe is ~120mi/gal, which for an equally polluting power source as a personal gas vehicle, is 5-6x cleaner. Public DC fast chargers are frequently exclusively renewably powered.

It’s impressive because literally every possible angle of your statement is hilariously incorrect.

They’re all sourced to the same “study” by a climate denialists outfit.

Sleep as Android!

You can make it device administrator and additionally add a max snooze count and a dismissal CAPTCHA. When I REALLY have to get up no matter what, I need to go physically touch my phone to an NFC tag in the living room. Can’t even turn the phone off because it blocks that when ringing when given admin access.

The only two I would consider otherwise are both alive (Lindsey Stirling and Amy Lee). They even have a collaborative piece 🎉

As an elected government, it’s a synonym for “most of Palestine”. AFAIK it’s direct representation with no gerrymandering fuckery like the states to make it only questionably true.

This is questionably accurate.

It’s not just a matter of building the rail, it’s also redesigning the urban sprawl. That’s a LOT of new construction of buildings needed, too. That comes with new utilities, etc. And cement is a huge carbon source.

There is a time scale over which that’s more carbon efficient than replacing all personal vehicles and their replacement lifecycles, but it’s very unclear if that’s actually faster with regards to climate change timelines.

Our Golden taught himself medical alerts. My wife broke her ankle when he was 6 months old, and the little glue puppy who followed me when I gave her meds started to let her know ahead of time that she would need meds, and even proactively bring her pill bottles.

Some refinement let him proactively stop mom from overdoing it, so he’s been instrumental in her recovery and PT.

Then like six months ago he started giving me pain alerts from no where when I was feeling ok. But invariably, every time he did, 30-60 minutes later I would get a headache. So now I just listen to him and my bad headaches have dropped to almost zero, because I’ll take some coffee and NSAIDs when he alerts.

He also broadly gets the concept of “pills make people feel better in a little bit”. He’ll stop alerting for about 20 minutes if you take pills (or pantomime taking pills because you’re busy or something). Then if you faked him out he’ll alert again in 20-30 minutes lol.

He’s one of the smartest dogs I’ve ever met in the “cause and effect generalizes to X” sort of way. (He also is super confident and pretty sure that the world is made of sunshine, rainbows, and friends so is conversely really dumb in risk assessment, like will fall off the bed because he’s sure he’ll be caught kind of way)

Our Golden will actively watch Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Dragon Prince. Full on watch the TV. (And nature documentaries).

Most other shows he doesn’t really care one way or the other for.

Which?

Helps if you grew up with a low but consistent daily dose of lead.

Spoiler alert, everything involves politics, and if you don’t get that, then you’re just getting screwed over by those that do.

Seriously, though - those studies are horrible, mostly because human research has shit controls.

Like, no shit that going to bed early and rising early makes you healthier and more productive in a society where type A personalities rule the world and operate on a 9-5. You either get the dregs of work, or you drag yourself out against your natural schedule to fit theirs. You’re constantly tired and that has well demonstrated effects on health. Support systems also work on 9-5, so you’re still screwed.

For anything they say to be valid, they’d need a control society run by 4p-12a work hours, so you could go to bed at 2-4a and get a full 8 hours and a relaxed morning ramp up like all those type As do today; then they’d have to demonstrate that the type As still did better in this control society.

FFS, to do financially well you need to be an early riser on East Coast time! To line up with the stock market! If the stock market ran 3-12 PST, how do you think those New York early birds would do with a 230am bad news dump? They’d be hours behind the Pacific night owls who could execute trades when they’re coherent and focused and would make more money on those trades.

All they currently show is “lining up with the ruling sleep schedule is easier on your life”.

I am (very) slowly working through Stars of Akarios.
