I’m not saying he deserved to get killed. I just don’t feel too badly that it was him.

Fire fighters are generally good in my book, but I saw that guy’s Twitter profile and he was a genuine asshole.

At least he didn’t choose to attack a school instead.

Latinx doesn’t work and it’s embarrassing to force it. Latine at least kind of sounds right, but what are we doing here? If you’re speaking English and don’t want to say Latino or Latina, you can just say Latin American. In Spanish if an individual says they want to be referred to as latine then you should respect that. Otherwise, latinos is fine for a mixed gender group.

It’s competition for passengers. If it’s too easy and inexpensive for people to travel long distances in their cars, why bother with mass transit? I don’t know about California, but here on the East coast, chargers keep popping up, the highways are getting wider, and there’s barely any new rail service coming.

Then why the struggle to deploy new fast charging infrastructure? All we’re doing is avoiding mass transit and subsidizing the battery industry.

Looks like the existing rail is for Ikea horizontal sliding panel shades. Just take it down if it’s not what you want. Not sure if you can reuse the holes.

What we really need is more rail and less cars of any type. Anyway, it’s too bad that BEVs and their “fast” chargers are getting foisted on us. Maybe a future Who Killed the Hydrogen Car? documentary will get to the bottom of it.
