No judgement, mate. I have relatives that rode the government biofuels subsidiary for about a decade.
Bio-Diesel, electric cars and now hydrogen fuel; the real business.odel is taking tax dollars and putting them into your pocket.
Electric cars are a shame. With a different battery chemistry (LiFePo3 or whatever) and niche usage ( short travel delivery or commuting) they could have a lot to offer. This current push is going to shit the bed and ruin it for everyone.
The energy density of compressed gas hydrogen is just laughably low. The number of trucks it takes to haul around the equivalent of a truck full of diesel fuel as energy stored of pressurized gas hydrogen is pretty staggering.
It has been a while since I did a review of the state of the art, but I seem to remember something like 30 times the number of trucks.
Even if it was only five times the number of trucks, that is still a prohibitive cost for transport logistics.
Cars that run on natutral gas are a gas engine with a new tank and a modified intake manifold. It is not a complicated conversion, butit does require certification and a regular tank testing like any gas bottle.
LNG burns very clean compared to gas or diesel. The exhaust is almost entirely CO2.
Gasoline isn't a cryogenic liquid. It doesn't boil off through a double walled vacuum flask.
A tank of Hydrogen will boil off to be vented to the atmosphere in a matter of weeks, depending on the tank size.
Okay, a lot of confusion here.
-
Hydrogen is t a source of energy. It is a way to store energy.
-
The energy density of hydrogen makes it prohibitively inefficient with regard to storage and transport. Hydrogen has a tiny fraction of the energy density of diesel. This gives hydrogen powered trucks a much lower range than diesel or a reduced cargo capacity. Pick one.
-
Hydrogen produced at home by electrolysis would be a low pressure gas. It takes as much again more energy to compress and cool the hydrogen into a cytogenetic liquid. This energy is lost to the atmosphere when the hydrogen is burned.
-
A hydrogen powered car is just na electric car at about 25% efficiency with extra steps. The (small) advantages of range are not worth the cost and difficulty of dealing with cryogenic liquids that boill off even when stored in a double walled vacuum flask.
-
Modern industrial scale hydrogen production is from crude oil. That is why hydrogen is produced by the Shell Oil Company. It is dirty as fuck. I will tell you why if you ask.
The point remains. Some cultures and some people are more sexually virtuous than others.
De Sade was (at the time) and has always been held up as a extreme pervert. He died alone and penniless on the run from a death sentence. What he did was not embraced at the time, whereas BDSM is a cute hobby now. A woman could walk a man on a leash downtown in a major American city and do no more than raise a few eyebrows.
Law is downstream from morality and culture. I agree that there should be legal change. Bring back At Fault Divorce!
But a good start would be for men to start noticing that women with high body-counts are terrible wives. Next would be to notice that university graduates almost always have high body counts.
Bring back marriage as a contract between a man and a women before God.
From there we can move towards public parades of adulterers; both sexes for all I care.
But your idea that it was all the same debauchery forever? I don't agree. I just think that rich bastards always had more opportunity to do what they wanted, even if it was against the moral consensus of the day. To quote a certain movie: "It is good to be the king!"
Those were the aristocracy. French royal courts etc, which were famous for their degeneracy.
The Puritan movement and, later, Victorian sensibilities were a response to that degenerate bullshit.
I remind you that the British Empire reached its height in the Victorian age.
Want to point to the orgies of the late Roman empire and declare that everyone, everywhere has orgies?
Reminder:
"CDC: Nearly 50% of Black Women Ages 14 to 49 Have Genital Herpes"

You know that is exactly how they lost New York to the Democrats, right? They flipped the whole state forever by flooding it with illegal immigrants. "Sure we will stop. Any day now. Just give us one more concession."
Razorfist did a rant about it.
Oh, they are. Disney's "Hercules" was banned in Greece. Perhaps this will also be banned.
Get it right. The target market of titty-streamers is twelve year old boys with their parents credit card.
The only thing twitch offers is access to a (formerly) untapped market of young males without any kind of age verification.
If Pokamane was actually doing porn or OnlyFools, she would not get any traction.
Just do a simple thought experiment and swap the genders: 28 year old gym bros flirt with twelve year old girls by the hundreds. They would be in police custody before the end of the day.
Don't undersell how disgustingly predatory this whole sordid business model is.
Or perhaps we have exposed a fundamental flaw in representative democracy?
The courts forbid exculpatory evidence. For example if the woman bringing forward the accusation has been previously convicted for bringing false rape reports, that fact may not be presented in court.
Even certain history of the specific relationship may not be presented, depending on what state you are in.
If the accused is in a state that has Affirmative Consent Laws, AKA Yes Means Yes laws, the male will have to prove that consent was not withdrawn.

I just want to read good comics.
EVS loves his role of taste maker. People play politics and drama to get his favour and access to his audience.
Writing a single hit comic is hard. Doing it every month is ridiculously hard.
I hope Yaboi Zack learns and Jones his craft to become a great writer and publisher. I hope that EJ gets his shit together.he is riding a few bicycles at once at the moment.
But holy fuco am I tired of all this bitchy drama.
In the west slaves had rights. Even in ancient Rome slaves had rights, including payment and the right to buy themselves out of slavery.
The people down voting this parent posts are probably doing on their Chinese smartphone. Made in a sweatshop by (effectively) indentured servants.
If they had the balls to take responsibility for the slaves they benefit from and keep them at home instead of outsourcing those slaves to third world countries, they would probably treat their slaves pretty well.
For those who dont think they enjoy the fruits of child slavery, go and do a deep dive I to coffee and Coco production. You might be surprised.
I bet most.of those kids would rather come and live with you and sleep on your couch than work on a coffee plantation for enough food to not starve.
EVS reviewed some of Yaboi Zack's Splato comics after they came out.
He was pretty disappointed. In the second outing of the Jawbreakers Zac killed them all in a last stand against a Super badguy with god-like powers.
EVS was saying "This is terrible! People want to read stories about your jawbreakers, and you have killed them all!"
Zack (later) said: "Ah, whoops. We can fix that?"
I don't know if he did, but people don't give a shit about prequels, so he had better pull something out of his ass.
At the same time EVS was reviewing the comic with art by Narwhal and colors by Zack. Narwhal, has a quick, lose style. The comic was a bit political about life in an authoritarian SF thing. The art looked more or less unfinished.
EVS said "This isn't professional level art". He was right, it wasn't.
He ponted out that he could have given Zack art reviews, corrections, etc. Help even. He also said: "People want more Jawbreakers. Just do more Jawbreakers stories!"
And he was right. Zack made a bunch of mistakes, most of which could have been avoided with advice from EVS.
That said, Zack has been literally terrorized by stalkers and has developed a severe allergy to DRAMA. EVS seems to consistently be at the center of a massive DRAMA shit-storm.
That said, EVS is really a top-tier comic artist. He actually knows his shit. Writing comics isn't easy.
Sigh.
The major effect of Body Cameras is to reduce complaints against cops by about 80%.
In general if a cop wants to abuse someone, they do what they always have. Go somewhere quiet, where they are not seen, do something evil, not file any paperwork.
Everyone has a camera in their pocket, and they have for years. Giving cops a clear record has mostly given cops a way to vindicate themselves.
This whole "both sides!" shit, is just bullshit. Mostly cops are honest and doing the job for the right reasons. There are glaring exceptions (the whole of the LA police department was on the take in the 1990s for example) but mostly cops need to protect themselves from the people they arrest.
I wish Yaboi Zac had listened to EVS rather than go and be a hermit to avoid the drama.
The issue that we are having here is that the terms liberal and Neo-Marxist are basically incompatible.
Liberals, as a movement, believe in the empowerment of the individual.
Neo-Marxists (including feminists) believe in group identities (class, gender, race) as defining traits and they believe in the use of authoritarian power (guns) to make people do what they are told.
Neo-Marxists will use liberalism, as long as the individuals make choices that they agree with. With women and feminisms, they generally do. Women use the individual power and responsibility granted by liberalism to make selfish, self-serving choices, which in general advance the cause of feminisim.
None the less, Marxists and Neo-Marxists are ostensibly working towards a revolution, at which point they will pick up guns and make everyone do what they want. At that point the sham of liberalism will have served its purpose.
Guy, do you know how many Australian Great White Sharks are left?
I have always fucking hated jaws for the damage that it has done to these big, beautiful creatures.
Rip Curl was one of the great Australian surfing brands. Only Rip Curl and Quicksilver come to mind when I think of surfing brands that survived from the Australian 1970s surfing renaissance.
A shame to see them be reduced to a 'lifestyle brand' aimed at normies and run by that evil hag.
What do you mean "lost the console wars"?
The games console was always a transitional phase. It was a low price-point, dumbed down box with low specs to educate console tards on how to play games.
PCs were, and always have been the biggest market for games. Admittedly, it has been more profitable to charge a massive stupidity tax to sell games to mouth-breathing console tards. Console games have consistently cost a lot more than PC games, and they maintain their price for much longer, as they continue to stay relevant due to fixed hardware generations.
I guess that it has been a major advantage that console tards buy their games again with every generation of consoles? That must be nice for developers?
Now that console tards no longer burst into tears at the sight of a keyboard and mouse, they might find the strength of character to plug a controller into their PC. Selling a console as a loss leader to keep a tarded, captive market is no longer viable. It won't be viable for the PS6 either.
The big difference between Playstation and X-Box is that Microsoft has some kind of plan for the inevitable convergence of the hardware systems.
Also reminding people that the sergeant of arms (traditionally the monarch's bodyguards) carries a big, fuck-off mace that will neatly slay someone through light armor in a single hit.
Today it is ceremonial and made of silver. It used to be a very, very functional four foot tall mace.
The unsaid part of "Toe the line!" is: "Toe the line or my sergeant at arms will come over there and stave in your head with his mace."
Scholagladitoria is a retired professional fencing instructor. His current day job is a dealer of antique swords etc. He is very knowledgeable in his field.
He is still a major cuck who lives in a bubble of woke tossers and strives to please them.
No. Hold up. Sorry to correct you here.
Literally Who 2 took footage from video games and then used it as evidence of shit that wasn't happening. She then concluded that women were victims.
That isn't "bad opinions" that is lying for profit.
