Well you don't need an "EV station," electric cars come with chargers...if you live in NYC maybe you can run an extension cord across the sidewalk and duct tape it down?
Indeed, hitting these numbers with an ICE is going to be a major challenge. The ~3x better efficiency of an EV drivetrain should be able to do it easily in MPGe though.
Wrong, "Survival of the Fittest" just became a catchphrase for sociopaths. When used outside of evolutionary theory there's nothing scientific about it.

I think it would be better if they could let go of the "every sperm is sacred"* crap. Better than accepting evolution, in fact. I would approve making them pro-contraception and anti-evolution in a heartbeat. Evolution denialism is a first-world problem.
*This isn't their actual argument against contraception. It's far, far more stupid.
Any stock in your "memory is an illusion" bullshit.
Yes sanity is to accept faith in one's perception and memory, I'd say that's the core basis of sanity. What sane being recalls something to the best of their memory and thinks "This memory I have is most likely inaccurate?"
I wouldn't say everywhere. A lot of middle-easterners see their god as being a cross between a roid-raging bodybuilder and an incredibly insecure teenage girl.
You are literally insane if you put any stock in these ideas. Your mind would be utterly disconnected from reality at a fundamental level. YOU'RE SAYING REALITY ISN'T REAL. Do we have to put faith in some concrete connection between perception and reality? Yes. It's called being sane.
Sure, if you redefine creationism, but the accepted meaning of the word right now means the belief that creatures were literally willed into being by a deity (presumably with an I Dream of Jeannie pop-in effect) rather than evolving from lower lifeforms.
("Mommy, what did they do in Sodom that was sinful?")
They were unkind to their visitors. Xenophobic, you might say.
No, seriously. All the evangelicals who are worried that GAWD will start turning everyone into pillars of salt if the US constitution isn't amended to ban teh ghey should actually be worried about how anti-immigrant and xenophobic America is.
Went to a Subway once, saw that they had a "seafood special" or something like that, but it didn't say what kind of fish.
I asked the woman who worked there, she said it was crab.
Now there are two kinds of crab, the real crab which is bloody expensive, and the assorted marine mystery meat w/ flavoring concoction that is supposed to pass for crab.
I looked at the prices and it cost less than the chicken I was thinking of getting so I know it was the latter.
Also remember when I said I wanted to 3D print a car's body panels and the responses ranged from "that's probably not a good idea" to "you're an idiot, 3D printing fanboy!" Well I am now engaging my smugface.
Started a job where I would eventually need to do Linux sysadmin, I'd only started fooling around with Linux at home shortly before. I took an introductory course but am self-taught otherwise. Now all my computers except my gaming PC run GNU/Linux - including my phone.
The planet's balance isn't a big problem but this is still a good idea. Require abandoned mines to be filled with biochar to help offset the CO2 release from mining.

Did you ever think that the anti-intellectualism and anti-science mindsets that are part of creationism could have led to these problems?

Actually you're both right.
If you don't understand science you won't make a good engineer.
And there are good engineers who are creationists.
They understand science but they compartmentalize it away from their creationism. Science is just an on-the-job tool to them. Pretty crazy.

So what was the point? Just to flamebait rational thinkers with the F-word by making a philosophical abstraction of a physical process?
On a physical level no faith is required, your brain is hardwired to trust your perception and memory unless it's horribly broken.

Creationists believe in a rational ordered universe that not only can be, but should be understood.
Except the evolution part because GOD PUT THINGS WHERE THEY ARE NOW AND I DIDN'T EVOLVE FROM NO MONKEY Lalalala I can't hear you!

If it weren't for your ignorance about this you might be an all-round intelligent guy.

It's finally happened, the software industry is resorting to prison love.

Serious answer: Until I'm too old to take care of myself.
Half-serious answer: Until I turn senile or conservative, whichever comes first.
Pure comedy answer: Old enough to keep kids off the lawn with a phaser set to "stun."
IIRC they also give you a number of free views per month based on IP.
No, this sucks, keep it.
Hell yes I would!
