It's hard for me to mentally reconcile the amount of people who are still buying gas cars, can't be bothered to look into solar, consume large amounts of animals even though it massively contributes to greenhouse gasses with this. It's coming for all of us.

Great video from the one and only @rbreich.bsky.social on some of the many issues with current AI products and the companies that are foisting them upon us. It's a quick 3 minute watch, give it a click:

This path was definitely pretty close to my own. I know multiple car enthusiasts who have gone on similar journeys with EVs, going from skeptics to evangelists. There just aren’t a lot of things in life that are win/win/win like switching from a gas car to an #ev
The EV adoption cycle is as follows almost always
1) evs are a fad
2) evs are fine but I’d miss the feel of a real car too much
3) I’ll try an ev
4) wait…I love this?
5) Let me tell you all about ev’s, friend

It befuddles me when people make public statements like this that are completely callous to what we need to do collectively and only focused on their own convenience and ego. At least just keep it to yourself 🤣

Our neighbor who recently got a Polestar 3 just had a pretty big solar installation done on their home. This is the way! I chatted with them about it and they were so excited to have the sun power their car!

I was listening to this BMG album "The Complex" from 2005... how is this 20 years old already? Anyway, I had no idea this song "The Current" was used in a Terminator movie apparently based on the music video?
What are you listening to today? I need some new music.

Flashback to that time that Ford launched the Ford F 150 Lightening #EV and to show its towing capacity at launch they towed an electric speedboat, the Arc One, that I designed. @jimfarley.bsky.social that was a great moment.

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

Wow that is just painfully tacky and tasteless.
