Being lactose intolerance implies that at some point there was some deadly form of milk and squirting shit out of your arse at 400mph is an appropriate way of dealing with it.

Yes there is being right but also being stupid.

Here lies the body of William Jay, Who died maintaining his right of way— He was right, dead right, as he sped along, But he’s just as dead as if he were wrong.

I hope this gets dealt with as a single incident, but given current affairs, I am not optimistic.

Genuine question. Is it a single incident though?

There have been a lot of reports of issues with people coming to western countries and not holding the same standards of respect for women.

I think it should be dealt with as a single issue iff it is a single issue. If it isn’t a single issue why should it be treated as such?

It could be the best for you.

You seem to be implying all people and countries are on a scale moving closer to some single ideal.

But it’s perfectly valid to think your house is the best and want it to be different to someone else’s house, who also thinks their house is the best.

Fuck I want that. Going to be thinking about that when I’m eating my pasta in about 10 minutes.

Lol leave it to the Germans to turn food into maths. This might cause some drama. Is the German kebab the best kebab in the world?

People live on top of mountains?

Were are these wind turbines being placed? I hiked to a farm once and had one at work.

Now, I’m not saying they are silent but unless you put one in my back garden I never thought of them as loud.

Sounds like a way to waste loads of money and keep people on fossil fuels.

Must be way cheaper to build more batteries and build out inertia. (Would still need backup power at this point though).

It’s Apple.

Plenty if people will pay that and think it’s an amazing deal for cutting edge, futuristic, elegant technology that no other company is providing.

Not worth it. Get way more stealing off the church roof instead.

Communism is great. You can spaff as much money up the wall as you want. Doesn’t matter, anything you want can be done.

Then you wonder why there is no food in the supermarkets.

The market will built it normally, the government doesn’t allow them to.

If you really want to incentive building then you need a land value tax.

Need a Land value tax and the ability to build medium/high density housing.

Can’t even get a carbon tax in place even though economist say it could be the quickest way to reduce CO2.

The level of effort people are willing to put in is mentioning that 100 companies are responsible for 80% of emission or something. “Yea they make oil! You buy it and burn it. That’s where the CO2 comes from. Will you stop? Maybe take the bus or stop eating meat.”

“Oh no. Absolutely not.”

The title is about why “Americans” aren’t buying EV’s. The excuse of them living in an apartment only applies to ~20% of the population.

That’s not enough to explain why Americans aren’t buying, just why 20% if Americans aren’t.

And like I said you don’t start with the most difficult and you don’t push a solution onto a problem when it isn’t the right solution anyway.

Depends what the point is. If we want to sell EVs for some goal of selling EVs that fine I guess. But it still goes back to the point of you start with the easiest 80% first.

But if we want to improve everyone’s life on this planet and the planet itself. Trying to convince people who shouldn’t own a car to buy an EV is very poor planning. It just so short sighted and consumerist for the sake of consumerism.

According to Quota its ~80% of people live in houses.

Classic 80:20 rule. Making excuses for why the most difficult 20% doesn’t work is the wrong way of thinking about it. Most of the result for least effort cones from dealing with the 80%.

What percentage of people live in apartments?

Surely those people should be taking public transport anyway not buying a car when they live downtown.

That graph floating around on how batteries have changed the electrical grid is super impressive. Batteries have to really start eating into base load power this year.

This is just a price to function issue.

If the price was 0 everyone would have one.

But the cost of it is way too high for what it is. Price and weight etc will come down. Uses will increase.
