Can’t tell if serious, a troll, or a total idiot. But “the latest data” showing that most of the carbon is coming from decomposing plant and tree material- that’s just fucking stupid. Plant and tree material has ALWAYS been decomposing. Its the extra carbon we’ve been releasing into the atmosphere over the past 100+…

If you bought any car between 2021 and 2022, you lost shitton of money as is. The time when the markup was insane since everyone suddenly needed a car, a lot of values plummeted.

There have been a bunch of posts like this lately where my only thought was “how did this guy think he was going to get away with this?”

The issue with wood poles isn’t the tree. It’s the chemicals used to keep the wood from rotting out in a year or two. There’s some nasty stuff there and some of it is a byproduct of coal or tar. To get the chemicals into the pole the put the poles into a big old steam chamber and steam pressurize the chamber and…

“OH no, if you want EVs we have to cut all the trees down!!!!”

Here we go with yet ANOTHER slanted piece on EVs.

The electric grid needs to be upgraded regardless. Let's not go and blame EVs for something that needs to happen either way.

Why are BEVs being blamed so heavily for electric upgrades in general? The nation’s system has been requiring upgrades for decades as our energy consumption on every level has increased. The entire Texas grid failed for a week and BEVs had nothing to do with it.

Meanwhile in North America...

A bow hunter friend was at the range when a bunch of cops were testing a bulletproof vest. He went to his truck, grabbed his bow and shot clean through the vest. He said all their eyes got 3x bigger when they saw that happen and they all got nervous. 

IS this Elonmupnik now ?

Subsonic doesn’t mean shit either. It’s all about inertial energy...

Tell me you don’t understand muzzle energy without telling me you don’t understand muzzle energy.

So uh... Depending on the arrowhead used, compound bows can have better penetration than 9mm bullets or even .22 bullets...

This can be said for the vast majority of “off road” vehicles people drive. 

There are some narrow Starbucks drive throughs that will be pretty treacherous. 

Yeah. I’m the opposite of a Tesla Stan, and I do understand Jalopnik is geared around clickbait, and I’m just fine with that.  But that’s a case of “trying too hard.”

I don’t know what my mind is seeing when I look at it head on like that...But I just started laughing really hard as soon as I looked at it lolol. If someone were to tell me this was a college project, I would be very impressed...But Tesla? The same people that brought us this sexy A$$ concept that they refuse to…

Let’s be honest with ourselves though. The 15 people with more money than sense who will buy these monstrosities aren’t going to be taking them off-road. They’re doing it for the attention and the most serious road obstacle they will ever see will be speed bumps in mall parking lots.
