Eh, I'm not an expert but I think most trams move slow enough that they aren't going to take out pollinators. They won't crush them on the flowers, only risk would be when flying in the air. A decent aerodynamic deflector of some kind would probably help. The modern equivalent of a cattle guard on an old steam train.

Clover typically takes less water to survive than turf grasses and puts out lovely flowers that are pollinator friendly for a pretty good portion of the year. The kind of clover that grows in my area (Tennessee, USA) is nearly evergreen too, starting earlier in the spring and staying green later than turf grasses.

No matter where you live, AirBnB/VRBO can only make housing prices go up, never down. At best it'll be neutral. It's always taking inventory that might otherwise go to a local.

That's an argument against an executive branch of government, not an argument against a constitutional monarchy.

You could have (and many countries do) a parliamentary system like you describe without having a monarch figurehead.

The question I think OP is asking is: why have the monarch figurehead.

You could nearly say that the entire Solo movie was a chance to retcon that line, trying to make it make any sense at all. I'm not sure they pulled it off, but man they tried and it was entertaining in the telling.

Totally agree, that's a huge issue that needs to be solved. Apartment complexes need to start putting in more outlets - they don't even need to be L2.

Those who have to park on the streets will be a tougher challenge.

Our second car is a plug-in but l hybrid for road trips. Agree, that's a useful case for ICE, but that car costs us far more to drive than our EV.

90% of personal driving (I'm ballpark guessing) is in town and can be handled by charging an EV overnight every few days by most drivers - doesn't even have to be nightly.

Oil changes and frequent visits to the petrol/gas station. I just plug in my car in my driveway every night and I'm golden.

I've been driving a Nissan Leaf EV for more than 10 years at this point. I've put on about 70k miles of the over 90k miles it has on it.

Maintenance has been: 2x Tires. 3x Windshield wiper blades. 1x cabin air filter (because pollen). Replacing the radio that went bad. 1x Replaced the 12V battery ... I really can't think of anything else.

That's it. It doesn't even go through brake pads because the regen braking does most of the work unless I'm slamming on my brakes. = = = I don't know for sure, but I'd be willing to bet the average EV has nearly an order of magnitude fewer moving parts than a similar ICE vehicle. It just makes sense that there's less maintenance.

Could she have done better? Maybe. But I still think her losing had way more to do with more of the country being sexist and racist at heart than we'd like to believe

Since these polls were started in 1945. He broke his own record set in 2017.

It's all processed on device. If you don't trust that that's the case, then I assume you believe that Google employees looking at photos is already happening.

This could be a helpful tool for those trying to above harassment (unwilling recipients of dick pics)
