Seeing as China still burns fucking coal, I don’t see how there can be a problem.

The pancake tortoise is a fast and agile climber, and is rarely found far from its rocky home so that, if disturbed, it can make a dash for the nearest rock crevice.[6] Since this tortoise could easily be torn apart by predators, it must rely on its speed and flexibility to escape from dangerous situations, rather than withdrawing into its shell.[10] The flexibility of its shell allows the pancake tortoise to crawl into narrow rock crevices to avoid potential predators,[6] thus exploiting an environment that no other tortoise is capable of using.[11]

Don’t see anything about heat.

You have an incredibly adversarial tone with that “actual numbers” as if mine aren’t, so I’m not going to continue.

But I will point out I’m using averages and you are cherry picking low mileage per year, low fuel consumption, and low gas prices. And I’m guessing funny electric numbers to change 1/4 the cost of gas to nearly 2/3 the cost. And funny enough you are combining low mileage per year with moderately-high battery replacement rate. You are picking and choosing.

Some quick math from this https://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2022/09/22/how_expensive_is_it_to_charge_an_ev_in_europe_and_is_it_really_cheaper_than_gas_854618.html#!

Puts slow charging at 1/4 the price of gasoline. That’s substantial.

Other searching says average of 18k km per year in Europe. With 6 l/ 100 km average age 1.76€/ l, gasoline costs €1,901 per year. Vs €475 for electricity. Saving €1,426 a year (1,527 US) Do that for 10 years and that’s €14,260 saved ($15, 270 US). I can only expect that savings will increase as gas prices go up.

As for maintenance anything with a timing belt is going to have a massive maintenance cost. There’s just no comparison in the design of these things. Electric motors have such a simple design. ICE cars have oil changes, transmission oil changes, coolant changes, spark plugs, starters, 12 v battery, accessory belt, timing belt, alternator. Yes EV’s have a 12v battery and coolant but these are not taxed nearly as much as ice cars.

EV motors are so simple they’ll handily outlast ice engines. And no transmission either. Boy if you’ve ever had transmission problems you’d never want another, EVs don’t have that. Tesla used to be on about a million mile drivetrain warranty because it really should be feasible. Ice cars can’t ever get that (on average).

Batteries yeah we’ll see how well new ones last. For a million miles you’ll go through a few batteries, which get better each time.

EVs are more expensive up front, then cost less as electricity is cheaper than gas. And cheaper maintenance and longer lifespan.

Jellico was prepping for war.

That’s why it’s lift on three.

“Lift on three, one two three” is better than “three two one” because you don’t know if you lift on one or if its “three two one lift” and lift on lift.

Lift is a funny word.

We met Worf’s father, mother, human brother, klingon brother, son (that gets me to 5), now if we include Worf’s wife(s) either 6 or 7 depending how we count K’Ehleyr. Vs Data’s 6. So I guess!

Seeing as it’s not in the official song, I think it’s from a bad rip or something.

Uh oh!

Which community?

Be water my friend.

Holy fuck. Is that like all their customers?

I can only think it was when the lumber mill was the dictator of terms. That’s what they put out, so that’s what it was.

Yeah the downvotes are quite surprising.

They will hide mistakes when mistakes are not accepted. When they will be punished or laughed at for making mistakes. So which parent will kids trust? The one that sets them up to be embarrassed? Or the one that is safe to approach?

There are plenty of mistakes in life, you really don’t need to set up your kids to make even more. All you’re teaching your kid is that they can’t trust you, to whatever degree.

Who asks questions? The ones that feel safe asking them.

The ones that get set up and embarrassed? They learn to never ask anything because they’ll get laughed at.

And a young dog knows absolutely nothing. Really, you know absolutely nothing when you’re born into the world.

To understand something (critically think) you need to know the information. So it boils down to embarrassing someone for not knowing things. There is too much in life to know absolutely everything, thus my example of the kid embarrassing the parent for some tech thing they don’t know.

The parent is supposed to teach the child that information. Not mock and embarrass them for not already knowing it.
