I’m pretty libertarian but I’ve also seen the spray paint section of Home Depot so no thanks

A police officer recently got scared by a falling acorn thinking it was a gunshot. He then mag dumped dozens of rounds into his own squad car thinking it was the man he had in custody (handcuffed, searched for weapons already, and trapped inside).

Luckily he struck with police precision. Meaning he missed every single shot and the guy was unharmed physically. Now he quit his job due to public ridicule.

This meme jokes by extending the conspiracy theories around Taylor swift to include dropping the acorn.

Oh honey it’s not real

This is the real answer to the question given the nuance in the question of “if you make a lot”

I haven’t followed the effect of this particular shock on gas prices but generally with any supply shock it’ll depend on the magnitude and duration of the shock. The bigger the damage and longer it takes to repair means less gas delivered in the same time period.

If the shock is big and/or long (giggity), then I’d expect it to affect anywhere in Europe gas can be redirected from.

Energy is a global market.

If gas prices increase sufficiently where the pipeline gas is consumed, some suppliers that supply the UK may consider rerouting gas supply to capture the increased price and profit. This means less supply for the UK which increases prices there also until there’s a balance. Higher prices mean people will use less gas until the supply in each area is enough to meet demand.

Agree with this. Also the US is definitely not monocultural either, despite the desires of our loudest countrymen.

Yeah, seems like a regression

Adjust for inflation and taxes and the margin thins considerably

Here’s the study. If you don’t have access many articles that reference and describe it are only a Google search away:

It’s still a significant net gain because of the energy conversion efficiency of both EVs and large scale power generation. It also reduces pollution in densely populated areas which improves citizen health.

Still, they should clean their grid ASAP, but they are deploying solar faster than anyone else and it’s not close.

Unfortunately I think most Lemmy early adopters are highly correlated to people who have their personal finances in order.

Where is the per state data? I’m interested

It turns out climate change is bad for business. Better shut them up because the oil lobbyists say we’ll be fine.

Not the asshole. 20 and 17 are old enough to handle adult situations and information. If you didn’t tell them, they’d be left wondering.

And they’d probably never stop asking.

And wonder who the new man is whose around moms place…
