For the whole of the U.S., about a 6.5% difference between what is consumed and what is generated. How much percentage of the energy in a gallon of gas is used to transport a gallon of gas from the refinery to the consumer’s gas tank?

Except in states/areas without emissions testing.

If only you had been around in 1645 for the spring powered cart disaster.

Wire you acting like this

I’m alternating currently between the two.

Am I the first to say I’m shocked?

Nobody is saying anybody chooses to become an alcoholic. Just that one chooses to drink and drinking has no real benefit to anybody, and there for it’s nonsensical to compare to something somebody has to do for their own health, and which has a side effect of being addicting.

No, drinking always has negative effects on the body. Sure, some studies say that drinking a small amount might have a positive benefit, but that does not mean it is not also having a negative effect concurrently.

I don’t completely agree with her mindset, I do agree it’s gotten pretty fucking weird online as regards what a “normal” or “average” body looks like. And further it’s really fucking strange seeing people who describe themselves as body positive acting like being overweight is totally ok, but being underweight is…

Autonomous subway platforms are the only solution.
