This data came to us over a YEAR ago?! JWST is giving us such an incredible amount of information that’s going to take decades to fully decipher and understand and I’m so here for it!

The successful insertion and deployment of this telescope was such a magnificent achievement for us all.

Do you have a source for thinking that over the lifespan of the vehicle, that an EV is worse for the environment than a gasoline powered vehicle? Because I have multiple studies referenced in this article from the EPA stating the exact opposite.

The advantage of using an electric powertrain over any other is that the energy can be produced by any source of energy. Yes, right now, a lot of that’s coming from coal and natural gas, but even then, those power plants are WAY more efficient than the gas engines in cars and produce FAR less greenhouse gases source. Also, as countries transition from coal and gas to solar, wind, geothermal, and most critically and hopefully nuclear, the way the energy makes it from the earth to our cars can remain the same: the power grid.

Also, if everyone buys used cars, then that’ll solve the problem? Where do you think used cars come from? You think we should just keep making ICE vehicles and burning shit when we have plenty of new technologies which are being developed at breakneck pace that could actually make a huge difference in reducing emissions?

Why do you think EVs are a bad idea?

It’s still odd to me that Apple Silicon Macs don’t have internet recovery unlike the outgoing Intel ones did, but this is certainly a step in the right direction.

GIPHY shows in the app drawer again!

Also, the end call button is back in the middle where it belongs.

Could your interest truly not get any greater, or was it simply piqued? 😉

I was just thinking that, like Jupiter’s red spot storm. Probably like 5 years tops.

See the difference is that being tolerant and accepting of other people’s life choices that don’t impact my life is objectively not monster-esque, whereas imposing your beliefs and codifying hate and fear into laws that control what others can do with their lives is actually behaving like a monster.

Don’t be a demonic monster you won’t be treated like one.

Which is zero children to indoctrinate by way of fear and hate.

I mean, the Mini Cooper S is really only 7” longer and 200lbs more than it was a decade ago, and the rest of the dimensions are pretty much the same. There are loud of other models they make which I do agree aren’t very small lol

Have you seen the TV Show based on them?! Just watched the first one yesterday and it had me in stitches.
