Just because a Ford truck weighs a lot doesn’t mean we shouldn’t address EV tire wear.

I agree. However, this started with a highlighting of EV tire pollution. Arguably mainstream EVs entered production in 2012. F-150 and other trucks of equal or more weight have been on the road since about the late 1970s. Why is it this is an EV tire pollution discussion only?

Do a lot of people own trucks that shouldn’t because they don’t use them as trucks? Yes.

We agree.

I’d argue that’s a completely different argument.

How so? Are you arguing that a truck that weighs the same the produces equal tire pollution is okay, but an EV that weighs the same with equal tire pollution isn’t okay?

This isn’t an EV only issue, but it is highlighted for EVs because they go through tires faster than equivalent sized (not weight) vehicles.

Isn’t this following the same flawed logic that trucks shouldn’t have to get high MPG efficiency because they are trucks, while ICE cars are held to higher efficiency standards? Your logic seems to suggest we could solve this EV tire pollution problem by simply eliminating EV cars and only driving EV trucks because then they’d get a pass on tire pollution like current ICE trucks do.

In the end I would hope all vehicles would be equipped with tires that don’t kill aquatic life!

I agree, but your other statements prior seem to give a pass to ICE (or EV trucks).

A model 3 to an f150 is absolutely apples and oranges.

Seriously. We are talking about tire tread compared to weight.

Are we? I thought we were talking about tire particulate pollution. Why have I never heard the conversation raised that truck tire pollution is a problem? Why is it only EVs that its suddenly an issue?

Why not just compare the model 3 to an 18-wheeler then? Those weigh way more. Would have made his point better.

And it’s a completely meaningful comparison, as long as you throw away the fact that different vehicles are used for different things.

They’re designed for different things. While I’ll agree that the many F-150 drivers are using them for their appropriate grade of work or towing, I’m guessing there are more F-150s that are used as grocery-getting-pavement-princesses than all the Tesla Model 3s ever sold.

In that way, F-150 is identical to Tesla Model 3 as far as use case.

It’s going to be all about the price.

EV or not, price the pollution into the cost of buying the tire. Then the economics of a non-polluting tire would be the primary driver for adoption because they would be cheaper than polluting tires.

And now to make lighter EVs that don’t wear on the road so much.

Tesla Model 3 Long Range (as an example) weighs in at 4,034 lbs, while the Ford F150 is 4,391 to 5,863 lbs.

Shouldn’t we start with the majority of ICE vehicles which already weigh the same or more than EVs?

because we all know that Biden will ship harder for Netty-Boo

Don’t forget your fight is also with the House of Representatives now. Biden did stop shipping some weapons to Israel and Congress forced the shipments of weapons to start again.

“House passes bill to undo Biden’s partial Israel weapons hold”

While an FPU (Floating Point Unit aka math coprocessor) would be nice, the 386SX is still a 16-bit CPU. The 386DX is a 32-bit CPU (and would still need a 387 for a dedicated FPU). In the 486 line SX meant no FPU, while DX meant FPU inside.

This could be very useful to run really old PC tied commercial and industrial equipment. There is a surprising amount of old systems still keeping our lives running in small niche ways. It could be:

• your school system’s ancient HVAC system
• an old electron microscope in a biology or materials science lab
• an old pc based CNC mill

The fact that this has all the legacy ports of:

• IEEE 1284 parallel printer port
• RS-232 serial port
• a 16 bit ISA slot breakout!

…gives this some of the newest hardware I can think of that still interfaces with old ancient hardware.

Manufacturers should include a second GPS in these units that doesn’t block operation of the machine, but produces a kind of intermittent error code that makes the operator contact tech support. Tech support gives an instruction to the operator that clears the error.

However, included in the error string, which tech support now has, was obfuscated GPS coordinates that the manufacturer can decode. Provide these GPS coordinates to the Ukrainian military for priority targeting of the factories.

Andrew Tate is also in a Romanian jail right now, if I’m not mistaken.

But why are the women doing this?

Child support payments from one of the richest men on the planet probably aren’t small.

Read said directly after the introductions (and after a very large crowd had lined up to see the talk) as seen in a video posted from the event. “Now, back in November, you had a message to us. You told us to sort of go fuck ourselves. So, maybe we start there.”

Great opening!

For those who need a refresher, the tweet Musk re-shared that started this whole mess stated that Jewish communities “have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” The post also cited an antisemitic conspiracy of “hordes of minorities” infiltrating Western countries. Musk’s two cents? As he put it at the time, “You have said the actual truth.”

…and…

“I do shoot myself in the foot from time to time,” Musk continued. “But at least you know it’s genuine. … I think it’s better to be real than to go through a filter.”

So its better to be a mask-off antisemite than closeted even though he claims not to be?

Now you have to make a giant guitar for him too.

That’s exactly what he’d expect now. Subvert expectations! Make a tiny guitar!

There’s a luthier reading this post now exclaiming “Tiny guitar!? Absolute madness! We’re through the looking glass here, people”.

A US prison guard, if they were to help a prisoner escape, would themselves be hunted down as a criminal.

It does happen in municipal or state jails/prisons, and the jailers that helped are captured and charged. Here’s one example

According to Torres, the Filipino sailors were under orders not to show their weapons in a confrontation, and one of them lost a thumb.

I’m guessing that policy is about to change.

“buck” is a common slang for a US Dollar. Its also a male deer. These are both very common words in American English. The “buck” in Starbucks doesn’t use either of these meanings, and thats fine, in this case you’re right that that part of Starbucks doesn’t carry any meaning from English…HOWEVER neither does “star” in Starbucks. The modern Starbucks logo has no star shapes in it, and nothing referencing astronomical stars. Its equal to “bucks” in that it is just a set of sounds. Yet in Mandarin, the “star” is literally translated as “star” like the astronomical body and spoken it sounds close to “sheen”, while the “bucks” sounds close to “bahcoo” for a total pronounced word of “sheenbahcoo”. So literal for the first part, phonetic for the second part. Essentially using two completely different sets of rules inside one word.

Its good to keep an eye out for new sources of pollution, but the possible ozone depletion from satellites burning up is a tiny tiny fraction of what we’re doing on Earth right now for pollutants.

Its taught me all languages are broken in some way. Romance languages have words that have arbitrary gender needing conjugation. Some have two genders, some three! Then the Romanian language comes in with its own tricks.

Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese) lack an alphabet so words are conjunctions of smaller words, or sometimes worse the phonetics of smaller words without the meaning of the word.

Starbucks (the coffee company) in Mandarin is 星巴克. 星 is the literal translation of Star. So far so good. However 巴 can mean “to hope”. 克 can mean “to restrain”. The reason they use 巴克 for the second half of Starbucks is that when you pronounce them they vaguely sound like “bahcoo” (buck). So the first half is the traditional use of direct translation ignoring what it sounds like phonetically, but the second half ignores direct translation and instead uses the phonetics of the second two characters to sound like “buck”.

Columbus will always be growth limited until it gets some goddamn light rail/subway in place.
