Canuck Surfer Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Boko Harum massacres villagers. Amongst rationale; instill fear so that farmers will not enter their crops to harvest.

The Green Mountain state joins neighboring Massachusetts in recommending their citizens stay home at night, amid high reports of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) This rare sickness is carried by horses and spread by mosquitos, and in about 30 percent of human cases, can cause brain swelling, vomiting, seizures and death. In addition to postponing local nighttime festivals and concerts, the Vermont Department of Health 'strongly recommend[s]' people in some of the state's busiest towns stay inside between 6 pm and 6 am, when the bugs are most active. --------------------------------- 8, or more, paragraphs at link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuters did a good comparison and showed that with the average US electrical grid (60% fossil fuel, 18.6% nuclear, 21.4% renewable), and including the emissions of power generation, it takes 21,725 km of driving to make up for the increased emissions from production.

Regenerative breaking makes the break pads on EVs last about one third longer than on gasoline cars (at least, recommended break servicing in the owners manuals is about that much longer). Regen breaking doesn't apply the break pads at all, it just runs the electric motor in reverse. So EV's contribution isn't just about the CO2 from driving them. The mining required to get the materials is a significant increase and legit slavery for the cobalt. 20% of fine particle pollution from vehicles is brake dust while 7% of it is exhaust fumes. Then you have how the power grid is done. In a coal mad area like China or India you haver that to consider. Then you have shipping all that. There I am unsure of a comparison. Some EV's don't use engine braking aka regen brakes. Porsche for instance figured it was better to coast. I forget the details as to why but it did make sense. Tesla being the top producer currently does. So yes there is braking vs an automatic. Versus a manual where you down shit I am unsure. No one drives or makes manual transmissions anymore..probably the best anti theft feature you can have these days Mostly I don't buy they are some magic solution or all that much better and frankly with their added weight and such they are a fucking danger...especially that stupid cyber truck.

As I said in another thread my 2023 Honda Rebel 1100 is greener...give me a damn rebate Yeah, I covered the emissions from production. That includes mining. You're confusing 'fine particulate matter' for emissions. The vast majority of emissions from a car are not solid particles, they're gasses (CO2, C0, S02, etc). A car gives off between 4.4 and 7.4 mgs of break dust per km. The Honda Civic from the above example gives off 149 g of C02 per km. That's 25,000 time more mass of emissions in C02 than in fine solid particles from break dust(using 6mg/km as a mid point). Break dust source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0269749123008321#:~:text=They give broadly consistent results,10.9 mg/veh.km. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fam buys me books as gifts sometimes. One of them got me an Elon book. It sits on the shelf untouched with some of the psychology books my one sister must think I need. We live in a neighbourhood where people will leave things for free at the end of the driveway. I suggested to my wife we should do that with some of the books. She said " not the Elon one, what will the neighbours think?" She doesnt want people to think we read about dorks. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
