that's how your ebike got to you
you should have said hi!
Most of all our shit gets to all of us like that. The point is we know how to do it better now. It’s stupid and fuckstrating that idiots keep doing it the fuckhead way, and locking the fuckhead way in for another 20 years we don’t have.
No, that's a Ford Pinto.
Actually, I'm not sure about the bike, but that's a good guess. It would also be an even cooler pic if the Pinto was on fire.
Indeed. I was kind of surprised it wasn't.
What's the better way for shipping?
Honest question, no troll.

Sail boats?

On a per ton basis cargo ships are some of the most efficient means of transport. Roughly equivalent to 200MPG per container. And there are efforts to include *sails* to improve fuel burn.
This giant kite helps power cargo ships and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 20%
It’s ten thousand square feet and deploys automatically at the touch of a button.

FTFY
The good news is that the rider was stranding and talking to the medic and was in full leathers.

Way back in 2019 Kawasaki built it’s first green hydrogen powered ship, and there are now several green Ammonia powered ships. (Ammonia is NH3 so essentially a hydrogen powered boat too). MAN manufacturers Ammonia shipping engines now and the NoGAPS project in Scandi is a fleet of such. There are a couple of Ammonia oil and natural gas ships on the way (weird but I’ll take it) and Maersk is building/may have built their own first Ammonia vast container ship. This is the way.
Also seriously there are some people experimenting with automatic vast spinnakers for container shipping to reduce the fuel costs.

This is true, however as a group shipping represents a significant % of worldwide emissions. We need to decarbonise that sector and green ammonia is looking like the winner at the moment.On a per ton basis cargo ships are some of the most efficient means of transport.

Helloooo nitrites, nitrates and a return to acid rain!
Because we somehow forgot how to make catalytic converters?
We somehow pretend shipping vessels adhere to any emissions standards whatsoever?

We should also stop buying stupid shit that needs to be shipped in a little box, put in a bigger box, put in a big metal box, put on a big boat; just to use for a bit until it breaks and throw it away.
So what you're saying is built locally?
In the Yukon? I'd wager June snow isn't unheard of... since, you know, June snow in Colorado isn't unheard of.

Just reach in there and give the contactor a few good smacks. I mean really smack that thing. If you don't want to use your hand, get a stick.
Whack the current sensors while you're at it.
