Seeing as China still burns fucking coal, I don't see how there can be a problem.

Coincidence? I think not!

Olympic organizers have touted plans to cool rooms in the Athletes Village, which will house more than 15,000 Olympians and sports officials over the course of the games, using a system of cooling pipes underneath the floors.

The average high in Paris on Aug. 1 is 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit). The objective is to keep the rooms between 23-26 degrees (73-79 degrees Fahrenheit). The rooms will also be equipped with fans.

That could be a tad warm depending on sun exposure.

You have an incredibly adversarial tone with that "actual numbers" as if mine aren't, so I'm not going to continue.

But I will point out I'm using averages and you are cherry picking low mileage per year, low fuel consumption, and low gas prices. And I'm guessing funny electric numbers to change 1/4 the cost of gas to nearly 2/3 the cost. And funny enough you are combining low mileage per year with moderately-high battery replacement rate. You are picking and choosing.

Some quick math from this https://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2022/09/22/how_expensive_is_it_to_charge_an_ev_in_europe_and_is_it_really_cheaper_than_gas_854618.html#!

Puts slow charging at 1/4 the price of gasoline. That's substantial.

Other searching says average of 18k km per year in Europe. With 6 l/ 100 km average age 1.76€/ l, gasoline costs €1,901 per year. Vs €475 for electricity. Saving €1,426 a year (1,527 US) Do that for 10 years and that's €14,260 saved ($15, 270 US). I can only expect that savings will increase as gas prices go up.

As for maintenance anything with a timing belt is going to have a massive maintenance cost. There's just no comparison in the design of these things. Electric motors have such a simple design. ICE cars have oil changes, transmission oil changes, coolant changes, spark plugs, starters, 12 v battery, accessory belt, timing belt, alternator. Yes EV's have a 12v battery and coolant but these are not taxed nearly as much as ice cars.

EV motors are so simple they'll handily outlast ice engines. And no transmission either. Boy if you've ever had transmission problems you'd never want another, EVs don't have that. Tesla used to be on about a million mile drivetrain warranty because it really should be feasible. Ice cars can't ever get that (on average).

Batteries yeah we'll see how well new ones last. For a million miles you'll go through a few batteries, which get better each time.

EVs are more expensive up front, then cost less as electricity is cheaper than gas. And cheaper maintenance and longer lifespan.

I'm noticing a disturbing lack of punctuation recently.

Sheldon Gary Adelson (August 4, 1933 – January 11, 2021) was an American businessman,[2] investor, political donor, and philanthropist.[3][4][5] He was the founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Las Vegas Sands Corporation, which owns the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, and the parent company of Venetian Macao Limited, which operated The Venetian Las Vegas and the Sands Expo and Convention Center before selling the properties in early 2022.[6] He owned the Israeli daily newspaper Israel Hayom, the Israeli weekly newspaper Makor Rishon, and the American daily newspaper the Las Vegas Review-Journal.[7][8]

Adelson created the Adelson Foundation in 2007, a private charity focusing on healthcare and support of Israel and the Jewish people. He was a major contributor to Republican Party candidates[9][10] and was often dubbed a "kingmaker" due to the size and frequency of his donations.[11][12] He and his wife Miriam Adelson were Donald Trump's largest donors, providing the largest donation to Trump's 2016 campaign, his presidential inauguration, his defense fund against the Mueller investigation into Russian interference, and the 2020 campaign.[13][14][15][16][17][18] He was also a major backer of Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.[19]

In 2020, Forbes listed his net worth as US$29.8 billion.[20]

He died in 2021

We're counting Mexico as an oil country?

Well I think she's gonna have her hands full on violence.

*Number 13 behind Brazil, Kazakhstan, and Angola for exports. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_oil_exports

Maximum, that is.

1 child policy from 1979 to 2015.

2 child policy from 2015 to 2021.

3 child policy since 2021.

The announcement came after the release of the results of the Seventh National Population Census, which showed that the number of births in mainland China in 2020 was only 12 million, the lowest number of births since 1960, and the further aging of the population, against which the policy was born.[5] This was the slowest population growth rate China experienced.[6]

Although the CCP government had high expectations for the new policy,[16] in a 2021 online poll conducted by the state media Xinhua on its Weibo account, using the hashtag #AreYouReady for the new three-child policy, about 29,000 out of 31,000 respondents stated they would "never consider it."[15]

 

(I have no idea if accurate.)

 

And can they easily be replaced?

I'm not looking, just pondering and wondering about Framework.

 

48% of Americans are magnesium deficient. From googling, the hard to absorb inorganic ones are magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride. The easy to absorb organic salts include magnesium citrate, lactate, aspartate, and glycinate.

I also found when I eat eggs, I crave chocolate less. I think it's the fat content.

(But I expect many just like the sugar.)

 

I can imagine a show without a doctor. But in all the shows the doctor plays a big role.

I'm trying to think this back and McKoy was such a brilliant character I can see that starting the entire trend. I'm unsure if there was a trend in TV before that for a medical doctor. Anyone know?

 

"The times of peace are over, the post-war era is over. We live in new times - in the pre-war era; for some of our brothers, this is no longer even the pre-war era, but the period of full-scale war in its most cruel version," Tusk said.

 

Like WTF are people making up just to attack now?

A couple months ago the findings against Hunter Biden were nothing, not even worth taking to court, only under GOP pressure did the Trump appointed prosecutor take it to court. Now it seems like a big deal and 17 years (max). What happened? Why the change? Was new evidence found?

 

Has this been done somewhere?

Any other ways to make it look better than tearing it down? Whole bunch of fake glass?
