  • A watt hour is equal to 0.86 nutritional calories. My estimate of 40 watt hours per mile converts to about 35 kcal. Estimates of the energy taken to pedal a bike are about 30-40 kcal/mile. That checks out!

    1 kilowatt hour is equivalent to 860 kcal.

    1 kilowatt hour from a coal power plant generates about 1.0-1.1 kg of CO2.

    For a typical Western diet, studies suggest that the average emissions associated with food production and transportation can range from about 0.5 to 2.5 kg of CO2 per 1,000 kcal of food consumed. (0.4-2.1 kg of CO2 per 860 kcal)

    The ebike generally has a smaller environmental footprint than the analog bike, as most sources of power produce less CO2 than coal power plants and most people eat more meat than necessary, putting them in the higher range of the food CO2 production range.

  • Unless you're vegetarian, a traditional bicycle will have a higher carbon footprint than an ebike, due to how inefficient it is to grow and transport food when compared to production of electrical power.

    Ebikes are way more efficient than electric cars, too. I calculated that my bike uses about 40 watt hours per mile, compared to about 250-350 for an electric car.

  • Neutronium would like a word.

  • The surface area of the box is about 135 inches. If this surface area were spread over a sphere, it would have a diameter of about 6.5 inches and a volume of nearly 150 cubic inches (nearly twice the volume of the uninflated box!). 150 cubic inches of osmium weighs about 120lbs.

    So, indeed you could exceed the weight limit of the box by ballooning it out and filling it with something that's at least 7/12ths as dense as osmium (or a little more dense than lead).

  • You're right, maybe there's nothing to see here. I forgot that people start setting cars on fire as a goof.

  • Haha, I mean, we're definitely arguing over semantics but you're saying something equivalent to, "No, don't eat ice cream. Put some in your mouth and then swallow it, but don't eat. We never eat."

  • Think whatever you like but jury nullification is when a juror votes "not guilty" when they actually think someone is guilty of a law that they disagree with.

  • What you're describing has a name, and that name is nullification.

  • Undocumented immigrant faces decades in prison after breaking ICE officer’s nose during arrest

    Jump

  • Are you mentioning this because of gun ownership in the U.S.? Not many people carry guns every day. Even if they do, they’re not likely to draw their five-shot .38 special against a group of ICE agents in body armor.

  • New Ford F-150s are NOT cute - they are the result of dangerous overbreeding! A healthy Ford F-150 should have a large truck bed and a small cab.

    Jump

  • If they would make a new 50-60% bed, barebones, 4 cylinder, manual transmission compact pickup I would buy it today. The only luxuries I expect are abs, power brakes, power steering, airbags, and an air conditioner. I've heard a lot of nonsense about cafe standards and cost/profit per unit but I still cant believe its not profitable to make this little truck.

  • FSU shooting suspect used mom's service weapon and had far-right views, police and classmates say

  • Its terrifying that rather than having to admit that they were wrong, people will usually double down on their positions.

    "One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." - Carl Sagan

  • Why Katy Perry’s celebrity spaceflight blazed a trail for climate breakdown

    Jump

  • I agree with your message, but the plastic straw issue has always been contemptible and a worthless form of virtue signaling in the context of each person's climate impact.

    'Oh, no plastic straws for me, please! I want to save the planet,' spoken before reaching out the window of an air-conditioning-blasting, gas-guzzling SUV to grab a fistful of single-use plastic everything else and factory-farmed beef patties.

  • In order for them to understand who the "right" people are, they'd need to be able to see the bigger picture. If they could see the bigger picture, they'd realize that they have better options than murder.
