It’s uncomfortable to admit, but unless there’s a way to profit off of saving the world, very few people will actually do it. I wish it wasn’t the case but it is.

When renewable energy became cheaper than fossil fuels, it caused a complete upheaval of our strategy almost overnight.

When electric cars became similarly priced to ICE cars, they started taking over the market.

When meat alternatives become cheaper than real meat, we’ll see something similar happen to the ranching industry.

They do have manual release latches, but if you have never used them they might be hard to find. Especially in the panic of a burning car.

Really vehicle electronic doors should operate the same way they (usually?) do in buildings - in case of power loss they default to unlatched.

I totally agree with you. People are just plain stupid, and right wing politicians are really good at grifting idiots.

We’ve known about mealworms eating polystyrene for several years now. Is there any new information worth looking at here?

With some additional optimization, this could be a viable weapon for untraceable assassination.

I think range would be an issue though.
