    - Not showing up as a whole foods in Google, is it shut down already? And also, isn't that right on the bottom edge of the tenderloin - Beryllium Apr 11, 18:22 3
      - The street view is from May 2021. Whole Foods has only been there a year -- nm - ty97 Apr 11, 18:25 2
        
        Yes, that's expected - but I mean the location information/business listing doesn't show up either. No reviews, etc. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 18:25 1
        
        I pulled the address from an sfgate.com article, it could have been wrong I guess? -- nm* - ty97 Apr 11, 18:27

We're still in the nascent days of EVs. By the time the ban on new ICEs comes in, my Bolt will be 15 years old, which is over the usual replacement - Reagen Apr 11, 15:27 2
- And battery tech will have improved, too. Smaller battery, more range than today's cars. Fewer things to break or wear out in an EV means a longer - TWuG Apr 11, 16:31 1
  - and more efficient designs, leading to lower battery usage. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 16:33

  - this is a surprise? honestly, I don't know of these things -- nm - mud Apr 11, 15:31 4
    - it's kind of the basic Interrogatory No. 1 information that (should) be fully disclosed at the outset of any corporate litigation - hollywood big shot Apr 11, 15:37 3
      - Yeah, it’s a pretty ballsy omission. -- nm - znufrii Apr 11, 16:15
      - especially since part of Fox's defence was "he's not really involved. he's only Fox." -- nm - mafic Apr 11, 16:11
      - interesting -- nm - mud Apr 11, 15:41
oh look, criminal profiling revealed to be one step above psychic medium for actually solving teh crimez -- (link) - hollywood big shot Apr 11, 15:21

- "This one seems to have a barrel stuffed full of metal shavings and Drano, missing the firing pin, and the stock is bent into a pretzel." -- nm - TWuG Apr 11, 17:48
- A. I'm surprised they don't keep it for evidence b. Collectors buy those notorious guns. -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 11, 17:44
- Should be able to trade guns for ebike vouchers. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 15:16
meanwhile in Missouri -- (link) - hollywood big shot Apr 11, 15:07 8
- it's been a republican thing for a while. offshoot of banning books. just a little more fringe up to now. -- nm - mafic Apr 11, 16:15 1
  - playbooks on how to do this are being handed out -- nm - Pippy the Gifted Apr 11, 16:30
- what the hell is happening to the USA? stop it. I want off this ride. -- nm - Pippy the Gifted Apr 11, 15:12 4
  - Also - it should be noted that at this point - the dumber the electorate, the more it favors the GOP. So fuck reading and all that -- (edited) - Turd Ferguson Apr 11, 15:21 1
    - LOL ! yes! what state did you land in? -- nm - Pippy the Gifted Apr 11, 15:25

Predict: What ~year will we see gas pumps become financially unsupportable, while ICE drivers complain about lack of stations? -- nm - Max Apr 11, 14:49 33
- Locally 3 new gas stations have been built ( that I know of) including one large 12+ pumper -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 11, 17:40
- ...2045? Fleet turnover is roughly 15-20 years? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 11, 17:18
- In the year 2525. - zunkskunk Apr 11, 17:12
- not in my lifetime. -- nm - mafic Apr 11, 16:16
- Now I’m wondering what the breakeven point actually is on a basic automated gas pump station… -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 11, 15:17 2
  - Every single gas station is a contamination site - they should have to pay the remediation costs upfront for any new ones. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 15:31 1
    - generally they pay annual fees to some kind of fund, or have a bond, or there's a specific gas tax for it. -- nm - mafic Apr 11, 16:20
- In the Fallout timeline the answer is 2052 when America suffers an energy crisis. - Qale Apr 11, 15:05
- Probably by 2040 that'll be widespread but not geographically even. -- nm - TWuG Apr 11, 15:04
- 2300. Airplanes, Ships use much that same gas -- nm* - budice Apr 11, 14:58 18
  - Jets use Jet A or A-1, which can be used in place of diesel but shortens the lifespan of diesel engines. Piston planes use avgas, which is leaded. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 15:11 15
    - avgas is also usually very high octane. we couldn't leave it in accessible fuel dumps or it'd disappear into people's snowmobiles over the winter. -- nm - mafic Apr 11, 16:24
    - (Which means, yes, much of the infrastructure will have to stay - but not all of it. A large percentage will be able to stand down.) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 15:12 13
      - how in the world would you know this? -- nm - Pippy the Gifted Apr 11, 15:21 12
        
        for me it's because a weirdly large part of mineral exploration is fuel logistics. -- nm - mafic Apr 11, 16:21
        
        This is a good question, because in fact, I don't know. Not at all. But Wikipedia does, sort of. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 15:24 10
        
        hee! -- nm - Pippy the Gifted Apr 11, 15:25 9
        
        Until I looked it up, I thought they used hydrazine - but that's rocket fuel. Kerosene was the word I was actually looking for. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 15:28 8
        
        You'd definitely want to clear the airspace of a hydrazine powered plane. -- nm - Reagen Apr 11, 15:31 7
        
        Hydrazine is bad news -- nm - JD Apr 11, 16:02
        
        "I wanna go FAST!" -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 15:35 5

        But what about the airport sushi?? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 15:58
        
        Don't Go Chasing Manhole Covers -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 15:49 1
        
        (This is a Pascal-B joke.) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 16:02
  - I thought they largely used bunker fuel, with only a bit of regular diesel for starting the main fuel pumps/heaters? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 15:05 1
    - And commercial airlines use Jet A or Jet A1 - JD Apr 11, 15:13
- In America? - Reluctant Cynic Apr 11, 14:55 2
  - by the 22nd century -- nm - Jovian Apr 11, 15:01
  - like the pandemic i think it will vary highly from state to state, but generally exponential adoption faster than either Detroit or Big Oil are ready - hollywood big shot Apr 11, 14:57
- if Cali stays to banning new ICE sales by 2035, it probably still takes another 10-20 years to work all the legacy cars off the road here. TX or FL? - hollywood big shot Apr 11, 14:54
- 2063 -- nm - JD Apr 11, 14:52
