My wife has an EV and I've driven and ridden in it just fine. But I once took a Lyft in one and the driver was driving it like a gas vehicle (lifting fully off the throttle and applying brakes), and I was pretty queasy by the end.

Look what they've done to my boy.

Also, you have all the money in the world, and the best thing you can think to do with your hog is make it bigger? What about grafting on a second one? A third one? My surgeons would be sweating when they see I've booked a consultation.

This is a common question because we're taught about the water cycle, but it's more complicated when you want to look at usable freshwater. Aquifers rely on water infiltration which happens less with heavy rainfalls because the water runs off before it can get absorbed. Warmer air holds more ambient moisture. Snow and ice packs that feed mountain streams melt faster than they can be replenished. Basically the answer is that the water will go to lot of places that we can't easily get at it. But more simply, most of it will end up in the ocean before we can drink it.

You're overestimating the average smartphone user. For the majority of the market, things will continue to function as they expect otherwise there will be no market.

"They say" a lot of things about dying, but I've never heard someone who went through it say much. Except for our lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Do you have a moment to talk about the Lord? It could be worth a lifetime in heaven.

Leaf blowers are also very good at removing light snow. Oh and on really hot days a leaf blower down the front of the pants does miracles. But what's even better is if you have a powerful leaf blower and hit the inside of your heel just right, you can inflate your pants by blowing air up one leg, around your business, and down the other leg. And people won't notice. People don't notice me doing this.
