When I first bought my prius, I thought that was true too. It wasn't. I had a long trip- Beaverton to Prineville in Oregon planned. Going I got a very respectable 40 miles to the gallon. No great shakes, I thought, many similar small gas engines got similar, in the 25-35 MPG range. Then I drove home- and got 65 MPG.
Reminded me of my underpowered Honda Spree scooter I drove in college, which could hit 45- downhill and with a tailwind......
If you've ever had your car rumble sitting next to a semi idling at a light, you know the answer to that question. There's a ton of wasted energy there for urban areas.
Freeway long haul? Well, there are efficiencies at 65mph too.....my prius goes into electric silent mode every time I go downhill no matter how fast I'm going.
And of course, as the first post pointed out, hybrid diesel-electric locomotives have been the norm on rails for the past 60 years, since the mid 1950s.
You do know that genetic mutation can happen in one generation, right? And anything that doesn't kill 100% of a species in an extremely short span of time, will simply be evolved around?
I wouldn't trust AOC to give me the time of day after she claimed all of her constituents were illegal aliens.
On climate change, I'm convinced she watched Al Gore's videos from the late 1990s and then took a bunch of LSD.
In other news, when did scientists stop believing in evolution? Climate has always changed, with great die-offs of species that aren't well adapted to the new climate, but some individuals due to genetic mutation survive and end up colonizing the new climate.
So while 99% of coral right now might not be able to withstand the higher temperatures, the large number of coral individuals almost guarantees that a new form of coral will arise that *can* withstand the higher temperatures.
The same thing happens with silly human cultures. Kill off the stupid humans who think living by the seashore under an elevation of 300 meters is a good idea, and humans living inland will gain in political strength and build a new culture. There is no need to panic over climate change at all.
The real use of the law is to add additional charges after a crash to a driver who may have already committed suicide.
That such a law actually improves things for drivers over 65 is no surprise to me; you can get injured by somebody else committing a crime as easily as you can kill yourself by committing one.
Let them practice their rights- but let them also pay for the consequences. When I practice my rights, I pay for the consequence of practicing those rights, why shouldn't they?
Yes, but it occurs to me that if sexual revolutionaries want to continue their lifestyle of ignoring sexually transmitted diseases, the least they could do is a kickstarter for a specialized hospital that finds cures like this one.
Actually, T-Mobile's version completely circumvents net neutrality rules. They don't affect the SPEED at which you get the packets, only the COST- Netflix's packets don't count against your data plan.
I find there is a simple way to deal with it. Look at the TO and CC lines. Relevance to my life is inversely proportional to the number of people receiving the e-mail.
And if all you see is a to with their own e-mail, that means you've been BCC'd- and chances are the e-mail has zero relevance to anything at all.

Last I saw, none of those were asexual species- which is what coral are.
Asexual species are hyperevolutionary because they only need ONE individual with ONE genetic mutation to colonize a whole new ecosystem.
Anything that does not kill off *every single coral* in one single event, will not make this species go extinct.

Yes, but will it ever exit Beta?

Exactly right. And that is why I'll never own an Apple or a Tesla or a John Deere. Such companies do not deserve customers.
I believe the Romulans have prior art
Someone ass rape you?
Yes and I knifed them for it.

Yes, but the whole point of excluding the outgroup is to include the ingroup.
Don't forget the privilege to own everything and then be blamed when anything goes wrong.
That is privilege, don't you know?
No, the point is that to reach "diversity" goals we should be discriminating against men.
And how many Marxist Republicans do you know?
And since capitalism is based in favoritism, that's a feature rather than a bug.
85% of job applicants are men
75% of people hired at a certain Fortune 100 company are female, by policy, at certain levels (Grade 8 and above).
Result: that's the only tech company that hit their "diversity" goal early, by discriminating against men.
Prizes? I think you mean prices.
What I don't get is why the university, journals, and old fashioned peer review haven't been replaced with blogs yet.
Who the hell expects privacy on an airplane where your ass is less than 2 inches from a stranger's ass, sometimes on both sides?
Will somebody please make a phone with a physical keyboard again?!?!?!? I miss my physical keyboards.
