Can confirm - I have stayed in probably a dozen different hotels since the pandemic and not one has gone back to daily cleaning. I leave $5-10 in cash when I check out.

Ooooh - someone took a high school debate class. It’s not ad hominem if it’s true.

Not to be an *actually* guy - but Patagonia and Gore-Tex both recommend drying gore-tex raingear on low in a tumble dryer for 20 minutes after washing to reactivate the DWR on the outer surface.

Make sure that no-one currently under 25 will ever vote for a Republican again?

For those of you fortunate enough not to know who Michael Shellenberger is, he’s a corporate shill with a background in public relations. He has zero training in any science or environmental subjects, but he is handsomely paid by the nuclear power industry and various conservative think tanks for his “contrarian”…

*Some* greens think that way. Having said which - continuing to create nuclear waste without a long-term plan to store or manage it does seem to be an issue. I’m old enough to have been in grad school with people investigating the geology of the Yucca Mountain site.

Or is it that they will see and have to interact with people whose skin is a different shade to theirs?

Updated headline should be “Republicans are Pretending to be Upset about Green Update to Xbox”

Is it on actual Peacock? Or is on Peacock Plus or peacock super plus - or whatever confusing shit that has the first episode free and then you have to subscribe to see anything else?

It’s almost as if its been a political tool used (mostly) by the right to get people upset and riled up so they don’t actually look closely at the horrible policies that party is proposing.

Oh my goodness! Wait till you hear who has been fearmongering and is known for their backwards mentality closer to home.

Barely happened in his lifetime - do you remember things that happened when you were one?

It’s kind of both - it’s a ferry that is a cruise ship - something like the Alaska Ferry but nicer because it’s Norway. It goes all the way from Kirkenes in the north to Bergen in the south and stops at something like 30 different ports. Cars, trucks, etc. load on and off, but you can also pay up to $18,000 for a…

If there’s one place on earth it would be easy to do it’s a boat. Just put the EVs in a floodable compartment at the stern - or have a robot arm that just  pushes them out the rear door if they start to smoulder/smoke

Do you live in Germany?  How do the German greens affect you in any way at all?

Came to say the same thing - the issue in the past few years is that dealerships *SUCK* across almost all brands. I was open to getting another Audi after my Q5 lease expired, but all they had that interested me was the e-tron or Q-8 and they wanted $20k over MSRP for them (even though they each had every extra know…

Yeah - that’s the big issue - he’s PM, but according to his accountants he and wife don’t actually have their home in the UK. How you can be an MP, Chancellor, and then PM of a country that isn’t your “home” is quite odd to me.

I love how people say things like “there are still the dirty parts about EV’s no one wants to talk about” when literally every article and comment thread about EVs is chock full of misinformation about how batteries can’t be recycled (they can), or how lithium and rare earth mining is uniquely harmful (it isn’t), or…

All of what you say is true - but if you look at the district in Casper he “represents” it really is an exercise in picking the nicer, middle class parts of town and excluding the Native American and Latino populations that live on the outskirts. I was just amazed that a State Senate district has fewer than 18,000…
