280 million e-bikes are slashing oil demand far more than electric vehicles
E-bikes and scooters displace 4x as much demand for oil as all of the EVs in the world.
arstechnica.com
if you get an EV then you'll still be traffic. only you'll be electric traffic now.
what you _really_ want but just probably haven't come to terms with yet is less time in your life of being traffic, less being in a car.
this requires good, safe biking infrastructure as well as an e-bike for many.

Finished Red Storm Rising a few minutes ago. That was a fun read. I like David Weber and space as the setting for my quasi-realistic battle novels, but this earthbound version worked as well.
Onwards, to Jack Ryan book 1, The Hunt for Red October.

I’m soon going to have the issue of running out of books after these yet not wanting to exit airplane mode and lose the Percy Jackson downloaded books I’m reading with my 10 year old.

more in the same vein, Lucid edition:

ordered myself a $41.40 (!!) CCS1-NACS adapter in case I ever get the bug to DCFC on the road with my NACS-port-equipped Kia. quick charging may happen once or twice over my 36 months or maybe I'll get all crazy and go on a road trip. who knows

This is pretty amazing: GLP1RAs associated with a significantly lower mortality from colorectal cancer. Note the caveat that the effect was only seen with the BMI > 35 subgroup, though.

Trump did the thing, everyone knows he did the thing, and he's got an entire political party and associated media apparatus trying to cover up his clear involvement in the thing. One of the sickest, most sordid chapters in an especially sick and sordid period of modern American history.

I'm contemplating driving out of town to try to see the northern lights tomorrow night, after kid bedtime and all.
Looks like my best bet is to go up I-76 to near Wiggins and then hope for no cloud cover.
