With McDonalds in the news so much lately, I caved to the idea. Got my usual, double cheeseburger, fries and a milkshake.
Around 2:30 my bowels…

I have this videocassette down in the catacombs. It was free if you were a desktop video nerd in the 1990s.
It was cringe back then too.
Forgot about Will Wheaton being featured. I think he and Penn Jillette got a piece of the company for being spokes holes.

Time to call it a bubble?
As usual, instead of skating to where the puck will be, big tech is doubling down on what's hot right now. Why are we building more data centers when the processors in my home are more than capable of providing me a personal AI already?
Oh, because the network connections still suck and they can't monitor/monetize my personal data if it isn't on their servers.

I wonder about the real carbon footprint of trains vs aircraft if the power source is lignite coal. Nuclear power for trains, sure. But what about the mass necessary for sleeper trains? In an airplane you get a seat and a space for luggage. That's it. On a train you need a seat, luggage space, bed, food and bar car... and all that steel. Heavy stuff.
Once the aircraft is at cruise the engines really throttle back. And two hours of flying vs 8 hours of training...

It started with James Carvelle telling Bill Clinton that wining is the only thing that matters because if you lose you can't implement your ideas. He also worked to destroy Gennifer Flowers' character instead of addressing the allegations, a tactic used again and again by the Democratic Party.

I think it's more for frame builders. Not a bolt-on motor.

I wonder if Schwinn will lobby congress for a ban?

Oh yes, much more. But the bet is that there will be enough excess solar and wind that the input will be "free." Or that there will be enough carbon taxes to make up the loss.
A lot of these schemes start to make sense with sub-4￠/KWh nuclear, but never with extremely expensive intermittent sources.

Note the water must be filtered before entering the electrolyzer. This means fresh water will be cheaper to use than seawater or other "sour" sources.
Much like using cropland for ethanol, the green hydrogeen industry will use drinkable water for transportation fuel. Because it won't make payback if desalination is necessary.
Even the horse and buggy didn't use food for transportation!

FTFA: His three children—Howard, Susan, and Peter Buffett—will manage the trust, he said.
In other words, instead of facing the possibility of inheritance and other windfall taxes, they get to "work" for the Buffett foundation. For what I'm sure will be a substantial annual salary.
