Nah man, build demand first, services 20yrs later. It’s the aussie way

Hydrogen currently doesn’t produce, store or transport well. This means it is not as economical as gasoline.

Not really a fan of lithium batts either. We’re going to end up with some environmental problems down the line but its the most economically viable tech we have at present if we’re intending on living the way we currently live.

My dad and I once sat in the cabin of a push to start vehicle for 20 whole minutes before admitting defeat and walking back to the rental office and asking how to start the car. If an action is completely alien/illogical to you, it’s not a matter of being bad at adapting, you’ll just never get it.

In this case we needed 3 actions done correctly: fob in dock, brake pressed down (even though its in park) and hold the start button down for longer than 2 secs. It was the last step that really screwed us around

In many placez Public transport doesn’t necessarily need to be faster, it just needs to be way more frequent to be practical

An interesting read, but the solution of using our media to influence human behaviour into being pro-ecology ain’t gonna work unless being sustainable is equally as profitable which it cannot be because sustainability is ultimately linked to less consumption of primary resources which is, contrarily, one of the biggest drivers for economic growth.

One thing the article highlights rightly is that all this focus on renewables should be secondary to humanity needing to simply consume less. It’s a change we can make within a generation and would be far more impactful than any technological advances or deliberate population control.

The term ‘cooked’ has been around for ages used to describe someone who is crazy in a manner that is consistent with persons suffering from long term alcohol/drug/substance abuse i.e “their brain is cooked”

I think the more recent rise of meth as the country’s most pre-eminent substance abuse social problem has helped spawn the term ‘cooker’ as this has heavy connotations with how meth is consumed and manufactured.

Now with the even more recent pandemic outing a lot of controversial opinions, the term cooker is now concreted into the vernacular as an insult for persons who refuse to grasp basic concepts regarding public health and espouse outlandish paranoid theories in response. Things that most would suppose a person whose brain has been fried by meth would do. Though in my opinion it’s a bit harsh on the meth users.

Also Rangers: cuts an entire tree into logs because its blocking view of a shitty lake from a viewing platform.

I get you point but I genuinely want to live in a world where people are not forced to turn to engineering.

Unfortunately mass transit that works for everyone is the enemy of vehicle manufacturers.
