The Zune HD was honestly a really great device. It just came out two years too late.

One of my hobbies is 3-gun.

(This isn’t me. I’m at an ametuer level and like “factory” and “practical” divisions)

Sport shooting is a hobby.

Who cares?

Catalytic converters decrease gas mileage and horsepower. Google it if you doubt this. It is common on non-street legal performance vehicles to remove the cats. And are you extracting any water from your exhaust? Are there buckets of water just trailing out from your tailpipe?

SkipFletcher is correct. A catalyst on the exhaust will not provide better fuel efficiency. It has nothing to do with that aspect of an internal combustion engine. Any water vapor recovered from the exhaust would still need external purification.

If it weren’t for emissions laws, no one would have catalytic converters even today despite the environmental effects. People are just too short sighted. What makes you think they would care in a lawless dystopia? There would need to be an immediate functional reason.

I remember studying Russian in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s- the glaring lack of old men was stunning. There were plenty of old women, who swept streets, sold the ubiquitous tickets needed for museum entry, told complete strangers to wipe their feet before entering, to stay off the grass, to button up a coat…

I live in Venezuela and shelves are worse. Even though it wasn’t correct to use a wrong picture, Venezuela’s socialism does include shortages, ID mandated shopping and hours of queue just to get a basic product.

They way these ships were built, I think an Exocet or Harpoon missile would bounce right off of them.

The as-built drawings have it right.

Couldn’t find the mute button fast enough.

Fixing the hole in the ozone is a lot easier than fixing global warming. With global warming, you have to change the whole infrastructure for how energy is generated and delivered. Ozone only required phasing out a few chemicals.

Turbine-powered cars!

Not all of us. Come on. We’re not all really that bad.
