Mine has a standard tire size. I just put on the winter set for the third season, and I’m pretty sure they’re going to last at least a season or two more. So, changing tires every 4-5 seasons? Exactly the same as I do for my ICE car. I do

Keeping it in the garage, or just somewhere you can plug it in overnight helps somewhat because it gets heated up before your drive using the grid electricity. The consumption is still higher though. Mine goes from 14 kWh/100km when it

I don’t get the reasoning behind saying that if the market would be real, the market cap would be a fraction of what it is now. Like, how do you determine that?

Yes, totally, being ‘just a friend’ to someone you’ve fallen for romantically is a totally miserable experience. For me at least.

I think your comment is totally fine to be honest! I used to be one of those people who believed that opposite gender close friendships are not possible, but then I came to realize that I’ve just been projecting myself onto other people. I

It’s good to appreciate that people can be really different. For me your suggestion is a catch-22. For me to have a _close_ friendship with someone I need to like them a lot. But knowing myself, if I like someone a lot I _will_ fall in love

I think your example is a good one! The Rai stones are just a curious example of how creative people can get with their ledgers. And by extension - what happens when people who can manufacture your unit of account out of thin air come along

Man, should’ve waited a bit. They’d get a lot more bang for buck so to say.

Regarding mountains as money. There has actually been a case in history where a group of people used hard to move large stones as money. The bigger the stone, the more value. While these would initially be transported, once on the island wh

To get out of the prison you just need to fill in this form and hand it to the guards who’ll then approve or reject it at their discretion.

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. I’d imagine that not publicising your employment status is a run of the mill security measure for specific roles and industries that are subjects of targeted attacks. As a meatspace equivalent I’m su

They say that there’s long and variable lag between the monetary policy being made and its effects on the economy. Soon after they started hiking the rates there were some of the biggest bank failures in US history which amounted to nothing

Yes, but if you look at the etymology for “sheep” and “mutton”, they literally come from Old English and Old French respectively. Does the same (different source languages) is true for “el pez” and “pescado”?

What makes you say that development in Rust is Java-esque? Genuinely curious!

So the plan is to ship coal from Poland or somewhere farther away to keep burning it in Germany’s coal-powered power plants?

They need to initially (and then repeatedly) heat the limestone in order to release and capture the CO2 in it. This way they get some really CO2 hungry sand that binds it from the air. I’d expect it’s the rock baking part that takes the mos

Apparently we can’t. That worked because there were no bacteria that’d consume the biomass and release CO2 back then.

Do you have any examples of that? I really don’t get what’s unpolished about it. That may be because I’m a Linux user though!

It sounds like the only reason why the 4 degree Celsius scenario is deemed unrealistic is that people don’t like it. So they have come up with hopium about as of yet imaginary solutions and veracity of carbon pledges.

I feel like we have been optimistic for far too long. The Paris target is also based on being optimistic about the situation. It’s only when we’re going to swoosh past that target and become very, very realistic about the situation is when
