Probably could run your diesel in vegetable oil made from corn, but yeah…LOL

Ethanol burns like crap, produces the same or more emissions than gasoline, and generally is a terrible fuel.

The reason we started making E85 was because there was concerns about not having enough gasoline production in the states. Then we discovered fracking, and we started to “drill baby drill”.

Electric or Plug In Hybrids are a much better option. You can produce the fuel entirely with solar, wind, nuclear, etc. if you put your mind to it, they’re much more efficient, and even accounting for the battery production emissions, they surpass greenhouse gas emissions within a few years of ownership.

Electric batteries are expensive and hard to fix, yes. This needs to be worked on. However, the cost of ownership is much lower, so you aren’t “bleeding out” costs over time like an ICE. It’s just a big “wham” for a batt replacement.

Also, an electric battery doesn’t typically just go completely dead all at once. It loses 10-30% of it’s capacity after the first 8-10 years. That means if you had 200 miles of range, now you have 140-180 miles of range. Unless the battery has a fault or the electrical system completely fails, this is fine. Most people drive less than 50 miles round trip for a commute. Even at double that, you still have 1/3 of your batt left.

If you’re a two car family, IMHO, one fully electric and one plug-in hybrid is the way to go.

If you’re a one car family who takes lots of road trips, plug-in hybrid. If not, all electric.

This Texas county, after they “own the libs”

There are communities for things like this. The Lemmy World Community is not the right one.

The fact you simply posted this to one of the largest Lemmy communities, rather than a more appropriate one, shows that this is not sincere, and it’s why you’re being downvoted to hell.

Literally rule #1 of this community is “Post News Links Only”. This is not news. It’s an ad.

Lol what is this spam shit? GTFO. Reported.

I use Debian and Mint. As others have said, it’s because it just works and I don’t have to screw with it.

Or don’t. Generative AI is good for specific use cases, but not this massive bullshit people keep using it for.

On some hamberders, I will dine

I hope that camp gets sued into nonexistence

As someone from San Antonio, hearing that over 30 children 7 and up got washed away and likely died in a flash flood is heartbreaking.

There are lots of people who are liberal as fuck who live in Texas. We have to deal with gerrymandered districts and a shit ton of rural people who have more voting powers than us.

I’m a Texan. I care. I didn’t vote for this and neither did the majority of my city.

It’s the O in the abbreviation sandwiched between Gaslight and Project.

While that may be “an option”, 5G sucks compared to coax service.

Both are inferior to fiber by a long shot, but wired will always be better than cellular, which is limited spectrum and inconsistent.

Anker smoke. Don’t breath this.

Or drop nukes on civilian cities.

Or bomb a harbor without provocation.

What’s your fucking point? There were plenty of atrocities during World War 2. You just don’t hear as much about the ones the winners made, because history is written by victors.

What are you even talking about? Debian is fine and extremely stable, which is what you want for a work PC when your pay is on the line.

No you’re dead on.

AI has been a net-negative for society.

Work 12 hour days AND every other weekend for poverty wages? Wow sign me up!

While Biden is 100% a supporter of genocide, Trump is all that AND more.
