He should be getting penalty points for that move.

A little bit of a snoozefest so far, I'm not gonna lie

Or you're burning wet wood and you're screwed no matter what you do

For all the downvotes you are objectively correct. Meat consumption is one of the biggest voluntary climate impacts in a Western person's lifestyle.

And I say that as someone who loves eating meat, I wish I had it in me to transition away.

The new intro music is really overwhelmingly energetic to talk over. Just felt like chaos.

Absolutely. Most (~70%)of the emissions over a combustion car's lifetime are from operating it, with the remaining anount being from production and disposal.

As a counterpoint I'll add that the greenness of an EV is totally dependent on the greenness of the energy grid that charges it. If you live somewhere were power generation is decarbonized, emissions from an EV will be an order of magnitude lower than a combustion car per mile. If you live somewhere with dirty power, for example much of the American midwest which is mostly coal powered, an EV can actually produce as much emissions as a gas vehicle, just because of the dirty energy source.

Overall though, grids are decarbonizing around the world (with few exceptions). So more EVs are better than fewer. Of course the best solution to a litany of problems (emissions, congestion, inequality, poor land use) is fewer cars overall.

Well, harder because we won't have millions to pay security specialists to come up with anti-bot measures.

It makes sense that left and right is more abstract to our brains than up and down. As humans we're symmetrical from left to right: my right hand is a mirror image of my left. We're asymmetrical up and down: my feet are different from my head. We also have gravity which our whole lives points down. There's no equivalent to that in left vs right.

Yup, I'd like to take a closer look at what exactly those 60 kph zones look like. I'll bet my hat that they are all stroads.
