There is also something to be said for emission controls. A coal or NG power plant can have much more cleaning and scrubbing processes. It also shifts the emissions that do slip through to a less densely populated area or at least emits it higher in the atmosphere instead of at street level.

They mean pleasant and safe in their neighborhood. They dont want to have to drive 1 hour out of the city to be able to walk without constant traffic noise or the risk of being injured by a car. A 6 lane stroad is absolutely unpleasant to walk on. Its loud, the air is polluted with emissions, tire dust, and brake dust. It dangerous as there is no meaningful barrier between you and cars, a distracted or drunk driver can easily harm a pedestrian on the sidewalk.

I specifically took a longer route that involved walking up and over a hill to get grocceries because it avoided the busier and congested roads. Walking uphill both ways was more pleasant than the direct, flatter route on a 6 lane road.

We currently pay to maintain car infrastructure regardless if we own a car or not. Per mile traveled, transit is far cheaper to maintain than roads are.

Frequent tranist. Missing a tram is no big deal if another is coming in 5 minutes. It needs to be a tram with priority tracks and signals so it stays on schedule.

Missing a tram and losing 5 minutes is the same as hitting a couple extra red lights or being delayed due to construction or a collision. Planning to arrive a few minutes early fixes any issues you would have from possible delays.

You’d have a hard time driving through that snow as well, so there are snow plows and such that make the road drive able. Most places that accomdate winter cycling have dedicated snow equipment for the dedicated cycle lanes.

These systems would probably work a lot better in Canada if Canada built half decent transit. Many of those trips could likely be replaced with decent transit, freeing up cars for trips more specific to that use case.

Sorry, you drill and process your own oil for your own fuel supply?

Edit: i see in other comments you have an electric car and generate electricity. That is an energy supply not a fuel supply. And what about your bulldozer? Did you buy a modern electric one or does it rely on fuel? Certainly your diesel generator relies on fuel.

Funding renewables while encouraging people that the electric hummer is a “green choice” is more what i was getting at.

The renewables can fit in if we make the argument more complex and add overall energy efficiency into the mix. Renewables become even more viable as our demand shrinks.

VR head set, a ton of cameras, and animated third person view. Unlock new skins the more miles you put on the car.

5 speed manual transmission, roll up windows, knobs for climate and radio, the key goes in the ignition. I need to keep this car running forever because i despise most new features ìn modern cars. Soon enough the fucking steering wheel is going to be touch screen.

They were likely outnumbered and being injured during the whole process.

The VC also could have removed them after being dead. I think it was less about they wanted to do it and more about psychological warfare. The whole platoon will be talking about those poor dismembered men and they may be worried theirs is next.

The contact listed “mommy” almost certainly was not their genetic mother.

Japan is also very short on space which i think is a major factor in why they use incinerators more than traditional landfills.

It depends where they are, how well you cleaned, and what you got rid of, probably some luck too. In my case bites were not frequent at all. There are methods to kill them without chemicals by subjecting them to certain temperatures as well.

I had what i suspected were bed bug bites and a few times they would bite in a cluster somewhat similar to this. I moved out of that apartment and haven’t noticed any bites since but never actually confirmed i had bed bugs.

I was thinking the same. I’ve been bit by a lot of things but never recall being bit by a spider (at least while conscious). Maybe 1 or 2 bites I’d believe but 5 would be incredibly unlikely.

Why would a city go through all the logistics of running a green cart collection just to toss it on the same pile of trash? Some loads may be too contaminated to be composted but the vast majority of cities collecting organics seperately will turn it into compost. Your city’s website likely has more details about how their landfill and collections operate.

I have a fork that has lived in my work van for over 3 years. A little bit of spit and napkin and its ready to go, maybe some hand sanitizer if I’m feeling fancy.
