Oh he definitly WAS. Still can be on occasion. But the debate, trailing of into incoherance. Recent major gafs mixing up Putin and Zelensky and mixing up Trump and Kamala Harris?! His interview after the debate was better but not great and the harsh fact is that he's as good as he will ever be right now and only going to get worse with time. As for the other person I was really mostly referring to, Trump has been a babbling, gush of incoherrancy for years!
Hopefully there is potency in someone who can speak full and coherant sentences! :-D You may be right but at the very least it'll be nice to hear lucid speech again and we'll soon see if it's actually effective in the current climate! Wow the bar has been set low!?
Sorry but I just... DOB Septembuary 3st. It goes 1st, 2st, 3st, 4st, 5st or first, secost, thist, fourst, fifst etc...
That explains why it took Trump so long to reach out to the deceased's family to offer his condolences, he was too busy brainstorming ways to cash out on the tragedy?! Disgusting!
Please read my comment again. Particluarly from the point "…from the very few roles they COULD take…". Also, there might be a case for historical accuracy and sensitivity, but sorry, the magic man flying around with his zappy hammer film doesn't fit this criteria. Also, Hamilton says Hi!
No actor/actress should have their pool of potential roles made vanishingly small because of a thing they can't change, the colour of their skin! And then on top of there being very few roles for people of colour in western pop culture based on your criteria, the very few roles they COULD take are often ALSO given to white actors/actresses in bizarre acts of whitewashing idiocy! It's infuriating! Talent, passion, skill, training, these should be the kinds of factors involved when choosing who gets cast for what role, not where you fall on the colour wheel! It's just crazy to me that it's even a consideration at all and in future people will look back and be incredulous that it ever was!? At least I hope that will be the case, as we are making slow progress in that direction.
I know :-p Spherical cow in a vacuum :-) It highlights the difference in truck v car v bike, all else removed from the equation, and shows that bikes basically have (approaching) zero impact on roads built for cars/trucks. Another way to look at it is if you only had to engineer roads for bikes they could be a fraction of the cost AND last a lot longer! Sigh, dreams are free!
Someone posted this link below and you have the right idea (that bike = less damage = road lasts longer) but you're ever so slightly off with you 2x estimation. Just a smidge out :-D
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power_law
The road stress ratio of truck to car is 10,000 to 1.
The road stress ratio of the car to bicycle is 160,000 to 1.
To put it another way. This means that after 160,000 crossings, the bicycle causes as much damage as the car does when driving on the road only once.
A truck, ONE truck, ONE time, is this number of bike crossings (if I mathed it right??): 1,600,000,000?! What even is that number?? It's in the billions!? I mean there might not be that many bike crossings before the heat death of the universe?! And that's just ONE truck, ONCE!?
Conclusion: Roads would last till the ends of time if they were only utilised by bicycles! Even if you only built roads to last ONE year under heavy truck use, under heavy bike use this same road would last 1.6 billion years!? Is this even real?! Am I mathing wrong?!
It could backfire though because people now understand that microplastic = bad so all we need to say is "You know those pesky microplactics? Yup. Well, basically tyre!".
You're so right! When something is almost 80% of a thing, it's more or less that thing now. It's that thing, plus some other stuff but the focus has to be on the thing that is almost 80% of the issue. If we reduce car tyre derived microplastics by one quarter it would be the equivalent of completely eliminating ALL other sources of microplastics. The issue needs reframing badly!
Great to see the US/Dems getting fired up with some positivity for once! There's a strong "Let's goooo!" vibe now! It's incredible how right-wing influencers targeted Kamala Harris' laugh in that video, but watching it brings nothing but joy! With all the recent grimness, I'll take this positivity any day! :-D Kamala is memeable and is leaning into it and I wouldn't be surprised if they just grabbed that laugh video and used it in their own campaign! :-D (I'm not a US citizen, just excited for you finally!)
