  • It's a very general broad topic. Probably depends a lot on what you need. And more importantly, how rich your are.

    I highly doubt Bill Gates have to wait 3 months for a specialist appointment.

  • Let's entertain your idea here for a second. How do you think that's going to go?

    My guess, the at the first hint of any type of insurrection, best case. Latinos and Japanese-Americans are gonna have something in common. Worst case; full blown ethnic cleaning carried out by local militias.

    I'm not condoning either. That's just what I personally think might happen.

  • If this was a competent president. I would probably give them the benefit of the doubt.

    But we all know Trump only cares about one thing. And it's not the US. It's himself.

    He may very well be under the impression that it will somehow give him more time in office, or it's just some way for him to try and get better approval rating. How he is percieved by the US is of major importance to his ego.

    He hates how his approval is lower than Obamas. And he probably hates how his approval is lower than G.W.Busch.

    G.W.Busch had an approval rating of around ~60%. Then a certain incident happened and his approval went to as high as 92% at a certain time.

    Trump might, for some reason. Think that him starting/provoking a war will give him a similar boost.

    Ofc to you and me it sounds insane and we know that's not going to improve his rating. But we are reasonable, normal people with common sense.

  • Please... I'm not a big fan of the US right now either. But that is just an absurd claim. No one is going to willingly open up a front against the US.

    Like it or not, but they absolutely have the cards.

  • You linking a suicide script that wipes your entire drive if you make a mistake, and an old bug in steam that also wiped your drive if you made a certain mistake. Sounds like that's in the same ballpark to me.

    Question is, why would you watch it if you thought it was a waste of time? Most people would probably stop watching at that point and do something else. But hey, you do you.

  • The bike will in most cases use less calories to travel the same distance. Absolutely. But, That is not the same, as being energy efficient. Energy efficiency is a measurement of input (energy) to output (work).

    If you're driving a Reliant robin. You will probably surpass the muscle powered bike in both Calories consumed and energy efficiency.

    That doesn't mean the bike won't be more environmentally friendly.

  • Thermal efficiency is exactly what the top comment was talking about. That's where it started.

  • The most useful for me is probably "ln = ls -n"

    It's supposed to be "lsn = ls -n".

  • Perhaps, but that is an awful way of comparing things. You simply cannot ignore all of the pollutants that accompany CO2 from exhaust.

    Classic example. If we're talking only CO2. Motorcycles are then more "environmentally friendly" than cars. But once you factor in all of the pollutants from their respective exhaust. Cars will be more "environmentally friendly". This is mostly due to the lack of catalyzer on motorcycles.

  • "As a cyclist, you claim to care about the environment, yet you consume food. Checkmate libs!"

    Jump

  • I'm not. There are so many pollutants from coal, besides CO2.

  • "As a cyclist, you claim to care about the environment, yet you consume food. Checkmate libs!"

    Jump

  • There are, like you said. A lot of other pollutants than just CO2. Focusing on the CO2 only, is a huge disservice.

    The point of our project was simply to show just how bad they are. We often hear that we should skip the car and take a bus for the environment. And while I agree that we can all do what we can.

    It's like fighting a forest fire by pissing at it. While someone else is literally, dumping coal on the fire.

    I don't have the research infront of me. It was a long time ago. But I know the pollutants from coal, was astronomically worse than any other form of power generation.

    But regardless if an ebike is powered by coal is worse or not. It is a moot point. The solution isn't to stop using bikes. The solution is to stop using coal.

    And on that, I think we agree.

  • Look. I don't know what you think you mean. But you're clearly not talking about thermal efficiency.

    Thermal efficiency is a measurement of how much energy goes into work, and how much is wasted through heat.

    Muscles will never beat an engine. Combustion or otherwise.

    The fact that we "used to be" is a huge caviat, giving humans the best case scenario against the vehicles worst case. The moment we start to put in some effort to performing work, our thermal efficiency goes down, significantly.

    That's ok... thermal efficiency isn't what you should be worried about.
