What's this "radical change" and why haven't you made it happen yet? Like what are you actually doing other than shouting into the void about other people doing the wrong thing? Even if someone reads your post and is like "yeah that's right" what are they actually supposed to do next? What rules are we supposed to break?

You're going to do great. Keep the seat low and push with your feet to get the feel of coasting, just like kids learn. Small steps and you'll be riding in no time. Depending on where you live, see if there are community bike groups you can volunteer at - these are great for learning about bike maintenance, and some places will let you build a bike for yourself from donated stuff for your time. Bike shops are pretty much universally supportive too.

For what it's worth, I think you already did the hard part by coming here and expressing interest :)

Exactly. What I don't understand is how everyone knows this, but somehow the stock is still high. Somehow Elon is singlehandedly keeping the stock up while doing literally nothing to help the company, make it make sense.

Well lucky for us they have the R2/R3(X) in the pipeline. Can't come soon enough though, 2026 for the R2 seems like a lifetime away.

Spoilet alert: someone fucked up on a colossal scale.

It sounds like a system design issue, i.e. they always intended there to be a "primary" heating system below 25F and it was sized as such. For every customer like you, there are 3 more that want to keep a fossil backup system in place so that's where the market is. Unfortunately that also means customers need to be very educated themselves to select the "right" opinion. There are also downsides to oversizing heat pumps too, and typically oversizing is very common since manual J is overly conservative and installers are used to oversizing fossil systems. Your best bet is more weatherization to decrease heating load so that your HP can meet that load. Yes capacity drops as temperatures decrease, but good ccASHP can maintain full output closer to 0F. Do you have like a 1 ton mini for a whole home in Maine?

Isn't the carbon were releasing now from fossil fuels carbon that used to be in the atmosphere? What self reinforcing mechanisms will allow for temperatures roughly beyond what has already occurred, which still sustained life?

This is exactly the calculation China made as they've positioned themselves to be the region doing a lot better. If everyone would realize this and fight for their slice of the pie, we'd be doing a lot better.

It will still be a dramatic improvement because these packs will be able to hold the max charge that the charger can support for much longer. E.g., a car that can hold 350kW from 0-90 is much better than one that peaks at 350kW for 2 seconds before dropping to 150 or 100kW for 40-90%.

Pedantry warning - we use the plural for decimal quantities less than 1 too. E.g. the tank only made it 0.8 meters before collapsing into a pile of low grade steel.

I think you're conflating two different things. There are a variety of social factors that affect age cohorts differently, and a lot of that comes down to the experience during formative years. We are a product of our environment in many ways, and it's not nonsense to study and opine on these shared experiences and how they shape us. Class solidarity is an entirely different subject. You likely do have more in common with your social class across generations, but that doesn't mean you don't have anything in common with wealthy millennials. I wouldn't let lazy journalism own the concept of generations itself.

Their intention is to protest how we are ignoring climate change, you know, the civilization ending catastrophe. There are road delays all the time, for construction, crashes, event traffic, weather, floods, electricity outages, etc. Do you get this upset for every one of those events?

I'd argue "share the road" includes uses such as protests, marches, bike races, whatever. It's a public good, you don't have the final say on "approved" uses. Traffic in my town is insane on game day, do I get to jail the sports teams organizers for the disruption for 5 years? Someone probably shat their pants due to the delay, where is their justice?! Boggles the mind that a trivial delay causes this much outrage. Car brain is a hell of a thing.
