I see an immediate collapse followed by a quick recovery, personally. If the Internet goes down, a lot of other shit goes down too…until we get the old telegraph lines running again.

Nah, he let me try it. It just clicked off way easier than in any other model car I’ve been in.

I had a friend who bought a BMW a while back. The blinker literally didn’t stay on. You know how in most cars, you move the blinker and it kinda stays in place and blinks until you turn the wheel? Yeah the blinker in his BMW didn’t do that.

Cancer like cancer alley in texas, where life expectancy is a full decade lower than the nice neighborhood five miles further.
Gas plant pollution is currently responsible for approximately 21% of asthma cases in the country.

Yes it is.
Then again everything causes cancer. Aging causes cancer.

Yes, that is my point. It is completely unreasonable to make gas clean enough to not affect air quality. We do what we reasonably can. And that results in pollution.

Well, I think we could easily start by synthesizing high purity methane. As long as you do it very slow and in small amounts, you can at least get rid of hereroatoms. After that, we could have several stages of carb/exhaust loops to ensure complete combustion. Of course, you’re going to need to heat the last few stages.
Then you just spent 10x the energy you’ll get from the natural gas just making it clean. Checkmate, liberals.

Well, do you really think two would have been enough? Even three is a little short, what if one gets the sharts? Four sounds nice, until you realize they can get sick twice. Five gives you four backups, but a revolver carries six shots, so…it would be smart to have infinite IT, because infinite things can go wrong.
- Comment on Was Alex Jones right about anything? 1 week ago:
That’s…actually wrong for once.
The entire plot of the first Jurassic Park was caused by (a) corporate espionage and (b) lack of information about frog biology. (a) directly led to the security systems being sabotaged, and (b) led directly to dinosaurs reproducing into a population the system was not designed for.
Unless you think capitalism is the reason people don’t plan for events that cannot be reasonably expected to occur given the information at the time.

Yeah, sure. Of course, the phrase “sufficient exhaust scrubbers” is about as reasonable as “100% perfect combustion” in this context. Engineering or no.

Perfectly combusted butane only releases CO2 and water, too. The point of that experiment is showing nothing burns perfectly. Even 100% pure methane burning at 100% efficiency releases CO2, which has measurable toxicity in humans.
That being said, largery hydrocarbons will generally burn less perfectly then smaller ones. Methane has 1 carbon. Butane has four. Gasoline has 8-10, lower grade fuels have more, tars get to 20-30. Coal is a mixture of tars and hydrocarbons with even longer carbon chains.

Damn near anything makes the frogs trans, that was the whole plot of the first Jurassic Park. They used frog DNA to fill in the missing bits, and accidentally added the voluntary sex change gene, allowing the dinos to propagate.

And this almost certainly affects people as well, just that the studies to prove it would also double as a textbook of ethical failures.

Gas burns cleaner than coal, but almost nothing burns 100% clean. Nor is any fuel source 100% pure.
Hold a lighter up to some tinfoil. See the soot?

- Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for? 1 week ago:
Alex Jones was partially correct, they are in fact turning the frogs gay, and this extends to people as well.
Specifically, endocrine disrupting chemicals, which are commonly used as plasticizers and flame retardants, disrupt your endocrine system. I.e. they fuck with your hormones.
Exposure to environmental stimuli, including such chemicals, can cause changes in sexual behavior and characteristics. This was the driving force of the plot of Jurassic Park.
This cannot be proven without seriously unethical human trials, but exposing a every other animal to EDCs during development can and does cause changes in sexual development.

Nah. Not really. Time zones don’t follow state boundaries because they generally follow natural population boundaries.
- Comment on In today's term what is the middle class in the US? If the government wanted to help the middle class and poor how would they go about it? Beside the toss money at the problem solution? 3 weeks ago:
Sit and do nothing.
Money is an abstraction of time and resources. If you are interested in investing time and resources, your only option is to wander off, come back later, and hope that the problem fixes itself.
