    We must face facts - meat is the problem

    It makes sense to use invasive out of control species as replacement for factory farmed animals where possible. What must be understood by some people is that wild populations cannot scale to fully replace factory farmed animals and is not an excuse to continue to consume animals at our current...

    How about the irony that you think they are trying to suppress it? It's news and they report on it.

    You said it didn't matter in the short run, Elon seems to think otherwise. And I don't know what your "also" link was supposed to signify.

    Actually it does, which is why Elon is desperately trying to get more advertisers and encouraging people to use the platform. Worse, if it keeps bleeding cash he might need to sell more Tesla shares.

    Elon literally killing Twitter :rolleyes: Destroy the brand, kill the company valuation, lose half the ad revenue, then change the name. Genius at work.

    I'm saying that PayPal is used more than Bitpay for online payments, you said Bitpay was the most used. Maybe I didn't understand your meaning.

    Sure he could tank the value of the company if he wants. Hopefully it doesn't come to that but I continue to take profits and sell covered calls as the share price rises just in case.

    Yet obviously Tesla has become worth quite a lot well before autonomy works. I see it as more of Elon hyperbole.

    FSD discussion

    Even if it eventually works how many people are actually going to put their personal vehicle on the taxi network? I'd like a car that drives itself but I'll never rent it out so it will never have the value Elon likes to claim. I'll also never bother to try and run another vehicle or fleet of...

    Telsa may someday solve anti-gravity but I don't want to hear Elon talking about it until it works as intended, and neither does Wallstreet.

    Climate Change Denial

    You haven't provided a single solution or even a hint of one. "Just do something different" is meaningless. You have shown no solution at all, so no I don't like the complete lack of solutions you try to present as "something different". The simple fact is you have no solution at all. The...

    Climate Change Denial

    A large Carrington event is likely going to be a worldwide disaster, as would be a large asteroid strike or a super volcano eruption . Somethings we just can't do much about so it's stupid to pretend we should do nothing in the meantime because a disaster might happen. Again you offer no...

    Climate Change Denial

    This is ridiculous. The gradual shift to renewables and increased electrification is not a sudden overnight shift and we do not have the time to play around with "small experiments". Even if we could magically flip a switch and eliminate all fossil fuel emissions instantly there would still be...

    Coronavirus

    I read it as 20% of the 20% who are asymptomatic have the gene: "On average, studies have found, at least 20 percent of people who contract the SARS-CoV-2 virus are asymptomatic." "Among the asymptomatic participants, 20 percent carried a common HLA variant called HLA-B*15:01."

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I think what the market heard is nothing in Q3 that will move the stock price up plus lower production due to factory shut downs. After the run up we've had I expect profit taking pushing the price down for a while.

    Unless you are advocating a return to hunter gatherer lifestyle then we will in fact need to design more efficient systems than what we have now, and we don't have millions of years to wait for changes. You have offered zero "solutions" other than "don't stop polluting now because the lack of...

    Climate Change Denial

    I neither said nor implied that. Problems will of course remain because the full effects of fossil fuel use are not yet known and will continue after their use has stopped. That doesn't mean it's pointless to stop adding literal fuel to the fire.

    Coronavirus

    The idea of "social distancing" and 6ft perimeter was because they initially thought it would not stay suspended for as long as it actually did.

    Climate Change Denial

    That's simply false. For example driving with electricity from renewables fixes quite a bit compared to petroleum ICE. Even a grid mix with NG charging EV's is better than ICE. Changing "fuels" IS the answer.

    Climate Change Denial

    The idea is to not continue to make things as bad as possible. We've seen how a change in behavior can change climate impacts with the repairing of the ozone hole and reduction of smog in cities because of government mandates. You can't say humans negatively impact the climate and then pretend...

    That was my point, even with fires forests can sustain themselves, thus the idea that you can't plant trees without active forest management is false.

    My previous post explains why they initially thought the general public didn't need masks if they were healthy. You're trying very hard to take a simplistic black or white view.

    Climate Change Denial

    Well yes but they also have had to deal with rapid climate changes as well, just not man made. I have a problem with the implication that we shouldn't plant a tree because someday it might catch fire.
