  • Electric cars are indeed much worse for the climate at production time than combustion cars likely will be throughout their entire lifetime.

    But this matters little, as the electric car is not made to be the perfect alternative, it is instead made to be the "weird in between solution" that we need to bring as many devices as possible to use a common power source and get people acquainted with the concept, before moving to the actual solution.

    The next steps will be better battery technology because, let's face it, lithium gel batteries suck, and proper power sources.

    In the end, I guess it's kind of a "chicken and egg" situation.



  • Might be about straw shortener? Seems to somehow have become a hot topic again in some circles.

    For those not i the know, popular growth regulators used to shorten straws, as to prevent lodging during rains, has been known to cause hormone imbalances in humans, such as reduced fertility rates of men. Not sure if the growth regulators still are this dangerous, but they have been, and still are, banned in some countries.

    I’m saying that I’m an advocate for equality. :)

    Edit: Perhaps I should say “fair treatment” instead of “equality”, as “equality” is rather loaded and can mean different things depending on context. My bad.

    And besides, now that I am editing anyway and haven’t received any answers to this comment. I do not think that everyone needs to be tolerant or needs to be tolerated, as that is a fallacy. Tolerate those who tolerate you, respect those who show you respect. And yet, one should at least try to tolerate those who disrespect one, unless they cause you significant harm, as there will always be those with differing opinions.

    We can’t make everybody happy, and I personally despise both extremes of this argument; those who tolerate nobody, and those who advokate to tolerate everybody, but themselves choose only to do so when it’s comfortable. Of course this includes those who are so tolerant that they go on ‘witch hunts’ against those who are ‘intolerant’, with little or no aggression from the other side.
