Gotta get your own anti-smart glasses with infared LED’s to blind the cameras.

Make America Genetically-mutated Again!

If it costs $2 and you sell it for $10, isn’t that a 500% markup?

It’s a good thing they’re wearing body armor and helmets while carrying rifles. Otherwise, they might not be fully prepared to abuse and violate the rights of these dangerous women and children.

Disgusting thief-bully-cowards.

I get by pretty well just using my bank’s website. If you need the bank’s app for something like occasionally depositing checks, maybe you could keep your old phone in a drawer with your checkbook.

I like it! I just wish they’d shorten the hood and frunk by a foot and give it a 6 foot bed.

I think the takeaway here should be that meat heavy diets are worse for the environment than you might realize.

The takeaway should not be that cars are only barely worse than bikes.

When you power your bike with your legs, you burn energy. That energy comes from food. Producing and transporting the food to you has a climate impact. Cycling has a climate impact.

Riding a short distance vs riding a long distance is irrelevant. Both systems require an amount of energy per unit of distance. Because the energy is supplied in different ways, there is a different total amount of carbon emitted of per unit of energy. For ebikes, that amount is lower than it is for traditional, human powered bikes.

Here are a couple sources, dickface:

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.

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.”

Haha. Would you please also tell the Republican party that you’d appreciate it if they could find prettier ways of destroying our government and constitution.

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.

Horray, we’re great again!

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.
