Why is your unicorn named Grimace?

I think for a lot of people the extra overhead of having 2-3 different online email accounts (each connected to multiple clients) isn’t worth the definite benefit of having stuff in just one place.

The issue is that when I have *my* email as the account email, my spouse can’t/doesn’t get notices. And you generally can’t have two emails on record with a vendor.

Mostly I enjoy the knowledge that marketers are getting an earful of my fax machine.

I’m less worried about the idiots *buying* it.  Than the rest of us having to try and not die from it.

AI driving is as almost there as is nuclear fusion. The last 15% takes orders of magnitude more work because it just can’t be done wrong.

Lead in the environment. We fixed it mostly.

Won’t someone think of the sheeple????

one critique is that currently EV batteries aren’t all that easily recyclable. Demand isn’t there yet to really have developed it, but it will come.

I can say, with certainty, we have not learned our lesson. But that’s why government was invented - to create a mechanism to do things *before* they become *must do*s.

ICEs are woefully inefficient. Wastes something like 60% of the energy input.

Assuming batteries are always made with lithium...which is already changing due to it’s shortages. Other chemistries exist that can provide similar performance/storage and more are being researched

BEV’s running off of a full coal grid are basically the same in terms of CO2 release as ICEs. Marginally better, but mostly a wash.
