  • No phone use in bed.

    Might not help with the getting into bed part, but it's cognitive behavioral therapy to associate bed with sleep.

  • lol and now I see that you want to debate rather than seeking information like you initially said. Yeah that explains things.

  • Sigh. People are blaming Biden because he didn't solve it in his 4 years. "We elected him why isn't it solved?!? Protest no vote!"

  • Her turning point:

    But then a few days ago, I opened X to see my feed populated with anti-Indian vitriol—calling the country where my parents were born “filthy” and its people “filthy and undesirable.” Some condemned these comments but many others agreed, and still others criticized the critics for crying racism. But I could see it for what it was: raw bigotry.

    Same old story:

    My life is filled with immigrants from India and Nigeria and Lebanon and the Dominican Republic—many of whom are definitionally the “working class”—who voted for Trump. They are family members and neighbors, cafe owners who greet me by name, doctors, cleaning ladies, the mailman, my Cape Verdean babysitter-turned-friend of many years. All of them opposed illegal immigration while defending Trump from critics: “He’s not anti-legal immigration, he’s anti-illegal immigration,” they’d said. “I’m pro-legal immigration—make it easier to do it the lawful way,” they’d say.

    I will never understand how people can't see it's thinly veiled racism when it comes from the GOP.

  • Not when we go to SUVs, growing population, and growing car ownership per capita. This is not static like everyone talks about. To make any real dent you pretty much need 100% EV sales.

    Again it's the scale timeframe and policy. Scale: we're talking the entire country, not singular cars. That means you have to account for what I listed above: movement to SUVs, growing population, and growing car ownership per capita. Timeframe: people demand decrease now. Not 20 years from now. That means you can't wait out mixed EV and Ice sales for 20 years. Policy: People talk as if Biden failed because has consumption is up. Ok last explanation. He implements the impossible policy of 100% EV sales in 4 years. The result? Gas consumption is the same. See 250 million cars explanation. And people yell that he failed and it's so easy. Reality is he succeeded and people don't understand the metrics.

  • Yeah but it's the scale and timeframe. People talk like they expect gas consumption to go down now. It's all over the place. They talk as if a few EVs will cause gas consumption to go down, and it's so easy why aren't we doing it already. The reality is it needs to be 100% EV sales for that to happen.

    And it's also policy. We're not going to get 100% EV sales any time soon. So gas consumption will go up. Pretty much anything short of 100% ev sales means our gas consumption goes up. Combined with growing population, yeah more consumption.

  • Let's say there are 250 million ice cars on the street. Ice sales stop. The next day how many ice cars are on the street? 250 million. Gas consumption is the same. You then have to wait (what everyone hates in our now now now world) for ice cars to wear out and inventory to turn over to see any decline in gas.

  • diesel engine that uses less diesel

    I think we're at pretty marginal improvements for efficiency, and it's overshadowed by the move to SUVs anway. I think it doesn't amount to much for this 10,000 ft view kind of discussion.

    Hybrids can do it, but I'm 'ehhh' on the whole concept.

  • We can see the entire history.

    Gore ran on environmentalism. And bam he lost the election.

    So what did Obama learn? Don't touch it. Not one bit. And he won.

    Hillary said maybe now is the time, she said she'd have a map room. She declared war on climate change. And bam she lost the election.

    So what did Biden learn? Don't touch it. Don't say one word. And he won. But Biden did green energy anyway. And what did polls say? That he was going to lose the election.

    So what did Kamala learn? There is no thanks for it. Don't run on it. It doesn't get anything.

    And what won the election? "It's the economy, stupid". No one is running on environmentalism for a long time.

    The best we can hope for is that Dems win without running on it, and do it anyway just like Biden did.

  • Fair enough we can limit this to oil if you want (but I look at the whole issue). Limiting to oil means no new ICE cars. Not a single one! And we're back to what freaking industry do you guys work in. For every car company to retool every single plant. New assembly lines, new machinery. New parts suppliers, entirely new supply chain. Can't forget you have to engineer and test new cars before that. For mining to pick up to produce all the chemicals. More new manufacturing expansion to manufacture batteries. Don't forget all the assembly lines and machinery for that. Electrical companies, new power plants and new power lines. Hey cities and states, get that planning and permits going. Construction is notoriously fast /s.

    You guys seem to have no idea the difficulty in working with physical products at scale.

    And more inb4 Lemmy's famous misreading, yes we should do it. What I'm saying is it takes more planning, effort, and time than you can imagine.

    Oh you make a thinly veiled personal attack. Why do I bother. Ciao.
