Driving a prius does some, but not nearly as much as taking your bicycle or public transit, even just part of the trips you do.
Personal automobiles are the single most per capita damaging activity carried out by Americans, who carry out most of the damage overall.
Remember it isn't just the fuel--it's the tires, the manufacture and disposal, and the roads, which mean lots more fuel consumption, asphalt.
And it's not just carbon loading that cars cause. They also are highly detrimental to wildlife, produce many, many toxics at each of their various life stages.
And then there's the traffic casualties, the health and interpersonal costs of driving so many miles per week, the social costs of car-centric land development. Sprawl and congestion have become so great as to more than offset the flexibility and other benefits that having a car in every garage was ever supposed to provide.
Car ownership, even of a really fuel-efficient car, is still and individual environmental and social dick punch..
Some, particularly professionals who study these populations, would say that their mental health-and lack of useful memtal health treatment-precludes their availiythemselves of other support services.
You are right that science involves asking (and providing a lot of research and thought into answering) questions.
But claiming that the the validity of TFA conclusions is in question because the picture looks like what might be found in a landscaping supply yard is about as anti-science as, well, a box of racks. It represents a rejection of the structures and institutions involved in the exploration of science, which while full of failings and biases, are not so far corrupted that they would require readers to question so basic a proposition as they had done at least a little more than a layperson's visual inspection to confirm these were tool implements and not just busted rocks.
First, as JBMcB implied, automation fails at the margin. Worse still, neither it nor you will know it's failing until way too late.
Second, it is (mostly) not true that things are made needlessly complex to keep lawyers making money. All those little twists and turns represent an effort to prevent repeating something that went wrong in the past.
Now, the law is very slow to catch up with changes that might have eliminated the risk of those things going wrong again, and lawyers and lawmakers ought to review and streamline procedures to account for that. Sometimes they do, but it's usually way later than they could have, and sometimes not at all.
I can't recall the clever name, but it was on my atv. I watched it once in a while, and often remembered thinking it was interesting information and ideas being oresented and it'd sure be swell to read about them.
You are forgetting the benefit to many for having the option of first class delivery to everyone, everywhere. E.g. if you want to correspond with (or sue) someone off the grid in bfe.

Pfft. Younglings. I used âthe sourceâ(TM).
wonâ(TM)t the route continue tongive directions even without data signal?
Only in caves.

i know the fourth hangs by a thread, tattered and mostly extinguished, but it still chills me to hear the government speak so blatantly.

You missed the joke, pal.
Perhaps my comment was too brief.

First climatology, now archaeology. Not even /. Is immune from the spread of anti-science.
What could a trader gain by hacking into it?
So what you're saying is we need chatbots in Congress?
There's two issues with your postulation.

This is the real problem. I prefer flat-just use nice shapes and colors and weights and contrast!

Op probably meant biomass in its most technical sense: mass of biological material, as opposed to the vernacular sense of biomass conversion fuel.
Better them than us.

Oh right, the one I used was Model III, with the floppies. I'm getting old, the memory is starting to lose cohesion . . .
My first experience with trek was on a trs-80. Dual floppies!

You mean, like, say, nerds?
But it's about those wacky millenials!
But we do respond to authenticity. Make a better product or a better company, and show us. We'll buy it then.
P&g actually did this once iirc, making saran wrap less toxic but also less profitable and also sadly less effective.
Maybe, but that's a result of lifestyle choices. $150000 for a family of four is definitely easy street in terms of income.
I do acknowledge, however, that many families in that bracket can feel like they are struggling.
