  • No, we need to be able to keep two thoughts in our heads at the same time or we are bound to repeat the mistakes. Terror and oppression is terrible regardless of what the purpetrator and the victim are called.

  • Just renove the ball and it becomes obvious

  • Is this the onion? Really? Bisex? That's a name I never thought I'd see on a product from a international company.

  • "Allows them freedom"? From my viewpoint, that is straight up newspeak. Which is also a point to be made, our respective frames of reference is so diverse I'm hard pressed to think we would ever use the same language to describe any form of housing. Only in America is walkability a problem in low density areas. Presuming your definition of "low density" isnt rural, of course. And if we are rural, I have a hard time seeing how that can be defined as a sedentary lifestyle. Going for a walk is not usually a problem in those settings, either.

  • From an ecological viewpoint such zoning reforms have merits, but in the way we have done it so far, I question the social merits of such policies. The society must be about more than stacking people on top of eachother.

    From time to time we've seen very one-sided policies pushed (often with economical focus) and several years down the line we realise the issues of such policies. We can't afford that at this point, we need to find policies that adress the full trifecta of areas to find our way forward sustainably.

  • I'm struggling to get a grasp on the numbers she's citing for efficiency, almost to the point that I began questioning if there was an agenda here.

    And she is doing the same thing most influencers are around this tech, being one-dimensional. Take hydrogen, the optimum scale is neither national energy storage, nor single person vehicles. But if you look at more of a city block level, where the excess heat can be used for hot water instead of fossils/electricity, efficiency ramps up!

  • And it would be so much better if that something was something others actually find interesting. Instead its something esoteric like energy storage solutions, or the difference between b550 and x570. I was once asked, "what's the difference between m-ATX and mini-ITX?" And I knew way to much about it to be socially healthy...

  • Hmmm... I wonder what the elevatorpitch for a Högspänningslikströmsöverföringsanläggningservicelektriker is?

  • In theory I agree, in practice other stuff, as the need for heating/cooling, really muddled the theory and puts the sweet spot speed way up. And if we turn the Aircon off, 150 is a really high number.

  • It needs to be low, but positive and keept stable. If it's to high it will be self sustaining and increasing, if it's negative everything stalls. 2% seems to fit the bill.

    There could be an argument that 4% would have been just as good, and had the rest of the world united on 4% it would*. However, it would not have changed anything in last year's combat of inflation. The target would have been defended just as fiercely causing just as much collateral. Only the numbers would have been slightly different.

    *Ignoring for a bit those countries that has had to fight to keep inflation up.

  • I'm not entirely sure how to phrase this, but... Today there are choices...

  • Well, frankly, Northern Maine isn't very much north and not enough inland to get the extremes?

    Most of Scandinavia has been below -15F for a good part of the new year and being relatively dense (for Scandinavia) in EV coverage I'd say Norway is the best example of EV very cold weather performance.

    We've had this same "debate" here as well with ice-owners lamenting the perceived loss of range and EV-owners responding "I know, don't care. Always works, always warm and always topped up".

  • Exactly this
