Epic and Microsoft have way more money than Valve does.

Nut butters with tons of added sugar, oil, and stabilizers don’t need to be refrigerated. But nut butters with an ingredient list one item long do.

Yeah, but Animal Crossing just came out…

Then you are in an engineering course.

n+1 is already counted. n-1 isn’t though.

That would imply counting to some arbitrary integer. The joke was implying he was going to count ALL negative integers. So he would need to do what you said, and then take the limit as n approaches negative infinity.

The tig ol’ bitties is a nice touch.

What do you mean? I’ve been assured by many people that we can’t do anything about car infrastructure because “its always been that way”. Are you saying that cities weren’t built for cars, but instead were destroyed to make room for cars over the last only 50ish years?

I unironically think that The Witcher 2 is the best game in the trilogy for this exact reason.

Amtrak: “At least we’re not VIA Rail.”

There are no medieval equivalents to YouTube channels, since YouTube wasn’t invented for at least a decade after the medieval period.

I have a case on my Pixel 8 only because I don’t like how sharp the edges are around the screen and on the camera bar.

I think a bigger part of the production emissions come from further up the supply chain than the factory. Such as extraction, refinement and shipping of the lithium and cobalt required for batteries. That is also what makes it hard to estimate.

My point was that switching to EVs will not make transportation emissions disappear.

An EV still produces about 30% of the lifetime CO2 emissions of an equivalent ICE, assuming a 100% clean grid [1]. So unless we change the systems that are putting more and more cars on the road, and increasing vehicle miles traveled each year, emissions will continue to rise.

Cars only really became available to the public in the 20s or 30s. I bet your city was overrun by cars by the 50s. Cities drastically changed over just a few decades. Why should it take significantly longer to go in the reverse direction? Other than a lack of political will.

edit: I’m not against EVs overall. I know there will always be a need for cars/trucks to some extent, and I think they should all be EVs. But don’t let that be a distraction from actual meaningful climate action.

I interpreted the meteors/city on fire as short hand for general armageddon because it is probably pretty hard to draw; in a single comic panel: droughts, crop failure, wild fires, floods, severe storms, wars over fresh water, etc. You know, the actual things that will kill people from climate change.

But if you interpret the meteors as literal, then what is the point of the comic? A swarm of meteors is not influenced at all by someones choice to drive an EV or not. So this comic is no longer a critique of that choice.

This comic seems to imply that the outcome of climate change will be dependent on individuals’ choice of personal vehicle, and not on the cars themselves or the systems that keep people reliant on them. EVs will not save us from climate change. They are an attempt to prolong the life of the auto industry as we move into a future that must move past motornormativity.

Marvel is copaganda.

Should the role of government be to say:

Sorry, corporations, you’re going to have to pay your fair share of taxes so our citizens aren’t dying in the streets

Or

Sorry, peasents, you’re going to have to die in the streets so that corporations can continue to make record profits

I tend to think it should be the former. As a Canadian, we have a federal election coming up and it sucks that there is no (relevant) political party that shares my opinion.

You copy some text from a webpage and put it in your markdown/LaTeX document in your text editor, like vim. Then you use pandoc/pdf-latex to export in whatever file format you need. It never looks wonky, it looks exactly like you tell it to.
