    The Anti-Car Thread

    That proposal sounds reasonable, but might become a mess in practice. 20 is a good speeds for residential areas, but what is residential when all you have is mixed use developments everywhere? The image I have in my head is of a side street in Manhattan (one of five boroughs of New York City)...

    The electric car thread

    I first learned about these fire dangers two years ago. All lithium batteries would like to explode but the danger is much more acute because BEV batteries are somehow over-clocked to maximize range. Batteries hate that. I read of a BEV catching fire on ship en route from China. It spread to...

    The Climate Change Thread

    Funny how no one even mentions the solar maximum. Also, the hurricane outlook for last year was also supposed to be grim due to very warm waters. I don't recall an above average season. I can't be the only one whose memory is longer than a goldfish.

    does the UK get these big temperature swings? Right now where I live it is 20℉ below yesterday, which was slightly below average (daily high). Very common in the States, especially in the spring.

    Can ultra-processed foods actually be good for you?

    Conflicting and doctored studies are put out on purpose so that people get confused and give up in exacerbation and ultimately buy that trash anyway like they always did. Meanwhile, both quality and quantity have been reduced while prices keep going up. Poor wallets.
