“Life is 90% Attitude.”

Did you hear about the jurisprudence fetishist who got off in court?

(… I’ll see myself out.)

Why, I couldn’t even get into the article before it faded into a paywall.

To get past paywalls, add “http://archive.is/” to the front of the URL.

So

“http://foo.bar/baz”

becomes

“http://archive.is/http://foo.bar/baz”

It works 99%+ of the time.

but it sounds pretty…solid to me.

I see what you did there. I, for one, think it’s a rock solid pun that most will take for granite.

That layer will also include, worldwide, levels of radioisotopes that do not occur naturally. The same way that there is an Iridium layer on the soils of 65MYA showing the asteroids that killed the dinosaurs, the current sediments being laid down have traces of plutonium and other materials that will exist until the sun becomes a red giant and swallow the Earth.

The impact of our cars, though significant, is far outstripped by global shipping (those container ships aren’t carbon-neutral), power generation (EV cars gotta get their power from somewhere), or the simple burning of rain forests to make room for cattle or crops.

It takes energy to smelt steel and aluminum and build a car, or to mine Rare Earth Minerals needed for the latest tech.

Driving and old car that you maintain, repair, and keep out of the junkyard is far more environmentally sound. So far. Hoping that balance will change in near decades.
