i forget the specific statistic but it's something like we could only support 60% of the world's population if we switched to organic farming methods
in a world where entire countries of people are starving to death we have legions of people opting for farming methods that produce less food because it is more "natural" and supposedly better for you for some reason that if you asked someone in the produce department buying organic produce they couldn't quite articulate
it is insane
those "paleo" people are even worse. Before agriculture it took 1.25 - 2 square miles to support a single adult human even in fertile areas.
total world population would be a couple million tops
So Japan, apparently a group managed to get some results with putting a Telsa P85D on a dyno. 864 ft-lbs of torque. I kinda want to get one and drag race with it.
Part of the appeal of electric cars is maximum torque at 0 rpm
I sort of suspect that this is the reason that thus far most electric manufacturers are avoiding getting into horsepower comparisons because you can have a car with a relatively low peak power that nevertheless drives like a very fast conventional car
There's been an electric class in the isle of man TT for a few years now, and they post similar lap times to supertwins despite lower top speeds
those videos of electrics going 0-60 are always heartwarming

Worst part of the lightbulb conversation was parents complaining about the window lights. They have these fake candle things in every window. The bulbs are no longer made, and the candle base won't support l.e.d.s. So they had to order bulbs from China.
The amount of needless in that dilemma is frustrating.
When we run out of oil is our way of life going to have to dramatically change or is science fixing this
It won't happen overnight, and price pressures will force us to adopt technology like Tesla much faster, and get over our irrational fears of nuclear power plants.
An odd lifestyle adjustment will be the drastic increase in cost of our plastics, as they rely heavily on petro.

We have enough oil to last until we invent fusion power.
Worst case we'd switch over to fission power.
The oil problem is that we're gonna global warm ourselves into radically different coastlines.
Just... don't buy any property near sea level.

Pray the Martin Marietta project isn't bull shit.
In reality yes our life will change. But it won't be over night since a lot of the western world is using reduced amounts of oil but a lot of natural gas.
You will see a ramp up in clean energy tech though. Parts of the US get enough sun to power NYC for like decades every year.
I have dramatically reduced my food expenses. In December I ate 7 meals that I didn't prepare. One was delivery and the other six were <5 dollars lunches I bought at work.

I couldn't tell what happened to Raina...she makes it right, she has to make it! She's the prettiest person on the show! I want to see if she ends up with more superpowers beyond having the most gorgeous eyes ever.
Also I kind of found myself rooting a bit for Skye's creepy dad, and I think it'd be awesome if he got some kind of a redemption arc. I'm a little bummed Whitehall went out so easy because he was a great traditional evil Nazi scientist villain and made Hydra feel very Hydra-y.
Raina is alive but seems like she might be visibly mutated now. She definitely got powers, though.
Skye's dad turned out to be a character from the comics who I am p familiar with (his first name was the giveaway). Given who he is, a redemption seems 50% likely, but either way, I love watching Kyle McLachlan in the role. He is just killing it.
I admit that I didn't recall Calvin as being Mr. Hyde's first name. Who is current a Ghost Rider villain. But Kyle McLachlan is doing the creepy so well.
Lots of organic foods use pesticides that are more toxic and in higher quantities. Eating organic is a huge scam.
Curly Q lightbulbs, biodiesel fuels, and now organic berries. When will American learn it can't trust hippie liberals?
A good 23 or so minutes of Christmas Eve was parents and Grandparents bitching about light bulbs. I thought that was something FOX news made up.
But, no. My immediate family is irate over light bulbs.
Apparently they don't light up fast enough, or something.
Those lightbulbs actually are bullshit. I have them in my bathroom and fuck those things.
I turn on the light, and a dim glow appears. Room is still basically dark. THings I want to do involve seeing my face, but for all intents and purposes I cannot. Takes like 2-3 minutes for the bulb to warm up enough to shed decent light, and maybe 10 for it to get to max output.
Dumbest thing. I'm swapping to LEDs one fixture at a time and then hopefully I can stop thinking about lightbulbs.
I didn't even know they still made those slow-to-light CFLs any more. I thought they all started at 80-90% nowadays and did the final ramp up in seconds, not minutes.
I probably bought the bathroom lights some length of time ago, they're the globe shaped ones for a horrid exposed-light bathroom fixture you would inflict upon whatever poor soul decided to rent your bargain basement property.
Because that's what every fixture in my house looks like before I replace it. Cheap-ass "gold" doorknobs everywhere, contractor-bargain fixtures you'd pass over at the Habitat ReStore because they look too cheap.
Ha, Some of the shit I used to put in my apartments was just horrible.
I once did an entire bathroom in scrap tile. "ok this band will be broke tile and this we have enough to do a row of diagonal." kind of thing.

unfortunately we aren't running out of oil. Between new discoveries and new, even more destructive, ways of obtaining the shit the whole "peak oil" thing has been pushed out a loooong time. Even moreso for natural gas.
This sucks. Really.
Cause global warming is very much a Thing and is going to get really, really, really bad long before oil gets too expensive.
Oh some kinds of life are gonna love it. Unfortunately industrial human civilization isn't one of those.
This was North America before the present ice age started

Calvin Zabo is Mr. Hyde's real name. I thought he was Maximus for a long time, and I've never been a fan of Mr. Hyde. AoS representation is incredible. Perfect casting.

There is a US Electric Drag racing association. They don't compete with the top fuel dragsters in terms of time but they are pretty much strictly amateur. If they had support from Tesla or anyone else, I suspect they would be competitive. I suspect part of the problem is also that generating all of that power at once tends to do awful things to the battery packs and they don't want to encourage that.

Hmm, you'd think for drag they could just use capacitors instead of batteries. It's not like they gotta go very far.

Ellie Goulding's Outside is playing right.
This is another opportunity for me to point out how much I love her voice.

If Raina is visibly mutated, I hope they leave her eyes the way they were at least :P.
I agree that a "superpower she hates" seems like a fitting problem for her, but at the same time she's shown to be such a fanatic that I'd almost imagine her being happy with even the most horrible mutation. Like a "turns into half-woman-half-horrible-bug-monstrosity, won't stop talking about how beautiful she is now" kind of deal.

I'd kind of like to see it though, if only out of a general sense that chasing discharge performance might lead to improved charging tech
Haven't actually watched any Formula E races yet, now that I think about it

I assume because no one wants to be sitting near a capacitor with that much energy stored in it if they crash.

I think they're fine. The current rules page was rewritten a while back to be all'inclusive so if it doesn't say anything then it's not something you'd get dinged for.
