For Harris, yes. For Biden: just "not anymore". Which can happen when you have geriatric folks doing this kind of job.

Do you really think there is no alternative? Isn't it more a matter of making place for an alternative, and then it will turn up?

I totally understand that (and Im sorry for your loss). But that objectively helps the guy who would not care at all (as opposed to at least trying to put a little bit of pressure) and actually encourage them to go for an even more radical "final solution". Voting is always picking the least evil. The US system simply does not allow you a serious choice - it would be better to direct your anger against that system, instead of against the least evil of the real options.

Electric cars do charge when braking. Obviously the energy recuperated is less then waht was needed to drive that fast in the first place. Using driving wind would just increase the energy needed to drive that speed and would be net negative.

I mean traditional-farm animals, so animals at a traditional farm. Sorry, not a native speaker.

[–] joostjakob 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Oh I know. My point is that traditional farm animals basically don't exist, in the same way that manually harvested grain doesn't really exist anymore

Yes, possible in theory. Quite hard to find in practice
