Just watched this. Talk about feeling shitty for driving a diesel car now! Honestly, my next car is gonna be electric after watching this.

yeah, switching to diesel to save energy only to find out it increases emissions is a huge disappointment. i have never been able to stand the smell of diesel so i stayed away.

and i would have said don’t despair, biodiesel can lend your engine a new greener life, but unfortunately as i understand nox increases with biodiesel. ayayay...

next, wait for the info on battery manufacturing’s environmental effects :D

eh, i just said this to illustrate that everything is tradeoffs....

i couldn’t drive electric where i live. the distances are too big. hybrid is appealing though, due to long driving range.

however, the most environmental thing i can do right now is to keep my 8 cylinder truck running for as long as possible, hahaha.

we mostly walk/bike to places, and the driving is just for rare supply trips faraway.

so, the embedded energy of a new vehicle would outstrip any fuel saving benefits.

srsly though, biking more and driving less would achieve tons more.

oh that game is on again

I'm lucky in that I live in the city centre so apart from work and driving to the Mrs' house I don't use the car more than I need to. However, I do do a lot of driving to and from work.

yeah, we’re lucky we relocated to a no-drive/zero commute spot. it’s actually a big consideration for us when moving/choosing work. fucking hate traffic.

anyway the... there’s a really nice british documentary on the bicycle i saw recently. i watched it free on amazon, but might be different for you. here’s the thing:

For what will be obvious reasons...Game of Thrones later tonight

Been catching up on the excellent BARRY on HBO. New season is off to a great start. Really goddamn good show.

how many weeks is that gonna last? planning to rent a month of hbo and then binge.

6 episodes so if they don't skip any weeks, you can start on May 20th after the last one has aired on the 19th

thanks! so assuming one delay (some holiday of some sort), may 26th last day, i could start a 7-day trial next week, pay for a month, and then land safely on the other side of things. basically i'll just be late for the opener and then follow with everyone.

or i could wait till the end, do the 7 day trial, and cancel :p


but no, i will pay my dues. scout's honor! lmao

ok i'd better analyze this further. maybe i could start tonite. thanks for you help! must spread more spread.

Exceptionally relatable, and a great reminder that things could always be worse. Not to mention hilarious.

haaa haaaaa haaaaa o mannnnnn

the amazon subscription to hbo is currently broken

keep getting errors

I went through Hulu

prolly temp congestion, i got it going

gaymotron is goooooood.....

or maybe i just got used to all the faces now

watching the Mighty Boosh. super funny

also watching second season of American Gods. It has become more like the novel, thank goodness, and has far less of the soft-core porn shit that season 1's show runners thought was needed.

Reviews are mixed, but I prefer it.

started catching up with season 2 of westworld last night

man that is one insufferable gore porn after another

watching an injun getting scalped is not any kind of fun, even if it's a plastic head

thandie newton and jeffrey wright are fantastic, but after that it becomes sorta like the walking dead

might try a couple more episodes as paperwork tv but so far disappoint

I hate that show. it is just like Mad men, fantasy made real for wypepol. why do people want to watch recreations of the most horrific shit white folks did over and over and over again? because they LIKE IT. They get hard at it.

fuck that shit.

Westworld makes me hard...

This show was hit or miss for me, but I did enjoy the tone of it for the most part. How is Season 2 holding up? I might have to start that this week.
