Cars suck.

My aunt had a book of old 1920s New York Times articles that I perused. One article went something like this:
"I was out on the countryside one day and saw one of these newfangled automobiles come flying down the road, dust flying in the air, making a loud noise as it approached a herd of sheep crossing the road. The auto could not stop in time crashing directly into this herd of sheep sending them flying at least 2 stories into the air. It was quite the site of mayhem and death. The farmer was left devastated. As for me, I'll stick with my trusty bicycle."

At the time cars could move at about 25mph max. We all know now what the experience would be if we were in a car coming up on a herd of sheep at 25mph. But back then nobody knew, so all they could do was believe the NYT reporter.

People make up their minds based on nothing much, maybe simple feelings, and then marshal arguments to buttress those feelings.

We are still so early. Author starts off with this and it goes downhill from there...

The comments are even worse. So many people really don't understand this topic at all.

Quiet in here today chartbuddy is going to have a lot of posts in a row come on guys!

I am ok with people bringing up problems but its the hypocrisy of it that is annoying to me. All those talking about global warming and how cars are bad use the appliances and cars that contribute to the cause they are trying to support instead they should try cutting down their own emissions before calling anyone else out for it.

Explanation

I think not having Bitcoin would cause me to have a heart attack

hahaha exactly and its like this

Not something WO residents should worry about... 

Ok so I presume you don't drive a car but ride a horse instead? You don't watch TV or listen to the radio because these devices emit harmful radiation? Internet is also dangerous because your wifi is frying your brain while you're typing this message? Don't forget about your phone and it's harmful GSM and 4G waves. Not even mentioning your house made of harmful concrete, fillers and plaster? Clothes, food etc etc etc  

This On-chain indicator can't be ignored.

Explanation

It's still five years ahead and if you don't have any till that time also then you are not safe even in hospital because inflation might kill you outside.

Explanation

You can still have a hearth attack if you do not have bitcoins to pay the bill 

Explanation

Hope it becomes reality soon and and you will not get heart attack seeing the hospital bill at that time

What's your best guess as to why the CO2 levels are 35% higher than at any other point in the last 800,000 years?

... nobody is getting argumentative except you, when you got called on the bogus "earth is a closed system" claim ... probably the original sin of that quasi-religious pseudo-science know as "climate science"


... and here you've engaged in another of the green marxism misinformation tactics, conflating many different pollution problems, some real, some ill-perceived anecodotes, into a mish-mash of "the earth is ending, zomg!" to justify some crazy idea that shutting down C02, CH4 emissions will 'cool' the warming 'earth' ... a) it's not proven it is even warming particularly that much recently or b) that it is due to increases in "greenhouses gases" and by how much and by which percentage of the gases that are anthropogenic.

... Earth has always had extreme weather events, statistically the last 20 years are not particularly unusual in the recorded history, which is exceedingly short, and the geologic record suggests there have been far greater extremes in weather

... the meteor that hit the Yucatan penisula and wiped out the dinosaurs sent a tidal wave 1500m high! into the south coast of the USA and sent up a plume of debris into the atmosphere that blocked out sunlight for 10 years ... want to explain how relatively dangerous humans are to the earth's closed system is again?
