The finger wagging is tiresome. Plus I consider myself fairly educated, and even I tire of the unnecessarily verbose diction and 20-dollar words over and over. It’s like: I’M IN ACADEMIA, SEE? DO YOU SEE?? HEY! I’M IN ACADEMIA! I think Elizabeth might’ve felt that way too as she even offered a translation.

Most crazy part about jalopnik is that a comment pointing out blatant racism is removed by the censor staff, But the extreme racist comment - no problem at all. Holy moly. It’s very disappointing. I honestly thought that the staff were better than this. :(

“Since the new imperialism of the 19th century, fossil fuels have become the metaphorical, material, and sociotechnical basis of Western petrocultures that extend across the planet...” “...fossil fuels matter to new authoritarian movements in the West because of profits and consumer lifestyles, but also because…

Why are you trying to force your white people grammar on me? 

Man I hate white people to!! It's so trendy right now. 

Out of curiosity, I just plowed through Dr. Daggett’s article. My immediate reaction is her brain might literally explode if you took her on a quarter mile run in that Hellcat Redeye Charger you just reviewed.

Open public racism is usually unpopular. Just not here.

Let’s find out.

As outsider who love this culture, I can’t imagine hating those who spent decades creating it for you to enjoy now.

Racism is strong in this one. 

I get the premise here, but I’m not convinced. Car moving around =/ Trans/Engine moving. It’s just the suspension and body moving. If the wheels are rolling back and forth a little bit and in gear then yes, the engine/trans are moving too.

I’m assuming they mean back and forth rocking, not the up-down type of vibration.

Why would trailer vibrations hurt the trans any more than vibrations while driving it on the same roads?

Right? Been a reader of this site since way back when, but sometimes I see the front page and I’m like “I do not have time to figure out what is what here, nope” and move on. The way the stories are sorted and organized is a nightmare

The other thread is too long, so I’ll say it here. The problem isn’t in daily use, it’s in yearly versatility.

This right here. This is what I keep saying. We’re not even close to having an electric truck that’s as useful as a gas truck. I will say that this would work for the vast majority of truck owners but as soon as you hook anything up behind it or load up the bed that mileage will go down drastically. And 40 minutes to…

Well power output for fuel input, nuclear is almost impossible to beat. It is also relatively safe. There are plenty of safety issues, obviously, and there is the issue of what to do with the spent fuel. But in reality there have only even been 7 incidents, since the 1950's involving nuclear plants, but most of those…

Because they can produce power 24/7, require less than 1/300th the land footprint to build, and actually require less fossil fuels to build and maintain than wind and solar?

Holds 194 MW-Hrs. That’s around 11 minutes of running a nuclear power plant. It’s spitting in the ocean level, even though it is impressive. To go with ALL wind and Solar, battery capacities will have to be in the TW/hr range, not MW/hrs.
