Have you heard of the Uighurs or Tibet?
Well they have to be really white though, not like those lazy Spaniards, Italians or Greeks. Should probably leave the Catholics out of it, too, and maybe the Irish for that matter. Do Portuguese count? 🤔 /s
I mean just because you like taking a bath or swimming doesn't mean you're going to enjoy standing in the rain too
Umm that's donuts if they're from Dunkin' 😜
US here, before COVID I would tip delivery drivers but not if I was picking it up. Now I tip 10-15% for takeout and 20%-25% for table service. I've also come to understand that checking your order, packing the bag, and including condiments or extras all take time and I've decided I'm ok tipping for that if it helps them earn a more decent living.
Yeah, you don't want toddlers learning gun safety the hard way
When you're talking about relative change, one degree F is 5/9 of a degree c, so if London cools by 18F that would be 10c.
I'm not sure where that number came from but according to Wikipedia the conversion from momentum to electricity loses 10-20% and the conversion from electricity to battery storage is another 10-20% leaving a theoretical recovery at 60-70%. In real world tests, Teslas recovered 20-32% range with regenerative braking, a far cry from 2-5% you cite. https://electrek.co/2018/04/24/regenerative-braking-how-it-works/
Idle losses are real but not very substantial in a modern engine compared to the bigger factor you're missing which is that in city driving tests there is a lot of speeding up and slowing down, ICE vehicles throw away all the energy used to slow down as heat in the brakes which makes city cycles particularly inefficient while an EV captures that energy through regenerative braking, dramatically reducing the net cost of those momentum changes.
It's the New York Post, temperature would be a chilly 45F for their American audience
Christmas is already after New Year's in the current calendar year ;)
