Keine Ahnung was das ist.

Zu viel Berliner Luft.

Come on Scott Morrison, bring another lump of coal into parliament.

Der LKW-Fahrer ist nen fetter Lauch. Jeder Gymnoob snackt den Weg, und jeder mit 4xKickboxtraining sowieso.

Vieler dieser Leute werden es als Kanal für ihre private-nonconformity entdeckt haben und sich deshalb da austoben/aktiver als andere sein.

I’m not really sure how to interpret your comment.

I am, it's in bad faith.

First off: The App bugged out and I can't be arsed to write this all again, so this will be terse.

I'm aware of the Carnot-cycle.

But we are doing far better than we used to.

I wholeheartedly disagree. Or rather I pose the question: Efficiency in what regard? If we measure it as ensuring a good, nurturing life with minimal resource usage, we categorically don't.

As an example, cars and longish distance travel: The average American commuter has to travel long distances to get to work, to socialize and run errands. This is mostly due to sprawl/zoning laws/big cars and bad public infrastructure. Spending this long time in traffic increases stress and makes people time poor. A lot of their earning are spend on paying off the car, gas and maintenance. Even more is spend by the public to maintain and build roads. The roads are heat trapping and increase run off speed, pedestrians are put at risk, the commuter gets fat. There are many know-on effects which can be reduced or eliminated by creating density.

Another example is food. A lot of it wasted (directly), much more is wasted by being "converted" to animal protein for human consumption (trophic-level).

Another is housing size and electricity usage.

The western societies - and the US in particular - waste a shit ton of resources to gain a very mediocre quality of living experience.

Or asked another way: Should efficiency of something be measured by how resource-intense it is to satisfy a "first-order" need of people, or by the n-th-order demand we established and want a drop-in-replacement for now (similar to trophic-levels)?

Stopped when Linus showed his continued ignorance towards Linux, his Stockholm Syndrome towards Windows and his general lack of geekiness. He is an ignoramus playing "Legos" and wants to see results, that's it.

Auf einer... Anderen Seite gab es dazu ein Unter.

The US is the most energy wasteful society ever seen, with a historic co2 foodprint putting others to shame. It's time for the US to do it's duty.

In einer neueren Artikel steht etwas von Porsche.

Oh Gott, genau falsch herum die Änderung. Eher sollte das zulässige Gewicht auf unter 2,5T gesenkt werden.

"Both sides". Gtfo
