Coca-Cola wasn't the first manufacturer to try and use Santa as a lead-in for their product. Ivory Soap is shown at the beginning of the article. So once the idea of commercializing Christmas took off, everyone jumped on. The reason for Coca-Cola to try a connection was simply to keep sales numbers up during the winter, as they were seen as a summer drink.
His ego seems to be hurt easily, but that won't do much overall.
NOT HOW ANY OF IT WORKS
A bit 🌽y to me
I looked for a picture of mine, couldn't find anything exact. There are so many variations.
Yes, it's on the list too at 33 MJ/L. Lower than conventional, but still higher than ethanol. The usual mix for drop in use with typical diesel engines is 10% bio/90% conventional. It's a good use of recycled material vs. just disposal.
Was that tractor a Tonka? That's exactly what I had in the 70s, and it was awesome. A lever for the functional backhoe, and a working steering wheel for the front rubber tires.
Than gasoline or diesel? No, they don't. Wikipedia has a large chart on their article for energy density of various sources. Some things are harder to directly compare with each other, but diesel has 38 MJ/L, with jet fuel/kerosene and gasoline at 36/35. Adding ethanol dilutes the energy output some, while pure ethanol is 24. It's still a potent source (but with its own costs and effects that need to be included in the net equation). Chemically petroleum simply has more bonds to break and get energy from.
Single payer insurance of any type pulls from a far larger pool than any company could have, lowering the individual cost and allowing a bigger risk coverage. But... what about all those insurance companies (of all types), as well as other industries that rely on the increased costs? How will they survive? /s
I'm sure Republicans will honor their promises. Oh, look at the price of this bridge...
It worked in 2008. Well, a few made money from that. The rest of us suffered in different ways. Sounds like a legit economy.
Must be an American thing then, to commercialize everything. Santa is used to sell just about anything.
