lumberingjack··on Sales of electric cars up by 43% in 2020
Yeah it's great our local coal powered plant started charging more per kilowatt because of electric cars draining the grid. They've also been adding surcharges on anything they can for electric vehicles like big taxes on tires just so they can get that tax that they're missing from the gas pump.

You guys got a street car it cost a ton of money and it's still cost a ton of money
lumberingjack··on Cincinnati is home to the largest unused subway system in the world (2016)
I see you think public transit is lacking what do you think about the new rail system?
lumberingjack··on Cincinnati is home to the largest unused subway system in the world (2016)
This is my hometown and I've been inside this system as early as 1999 and as late as 2008. Not much to look at inside there wet damp small tunnels every exit except the two or three concrete over. Huge water main down the center and huge fiber optic cables.

Que the photos of minorities staring into space. is this writing "art" or "news"
lumberingjack··on The largest dam-removal in US history
Nearly weekly and sometimes daily outages in Sand City and surrounding areas people actually packing up and leaving and they're still using our tax dollars to tear down infrastructure. My tribe was also in that area still is the fish are fine. Just because this tribe was on the American side of the border when they drew the lines doesn't mean that they are the only tribe that used that area. California has a blanket ban on any nuclear energy projects or research in California it's never going to happen. get ready to buy China coal because that's what you're going to be using in about 6 years.
lumberingjack··on Avoid using wood burning stoves if possible, warn health experts
There's an art to burning a wood stove in a modern home and not making a mess. Most people don't use the ash tray systems that come with these modern catalyzed wood stoves they don't know how to use them and they don't care even if they're taught because it's a slight inconvenience. I treat Ash in my wood burning stove as being a harmful carcinogen. There's also an art to starting a fire without getting a backdraft and getting smoke in your home. A few tips would be to make sure you're burning good quality wood that's been properly seasoned, seasoning firewood is also an art. When you need to empty the ash into the tray burn the fire at hotter than normal to deplete all of the carbon so all you have to deal with is small particles of Ash. Keep the fire going in place the depleted Ash in the tray to cool don't try to move hot ash it would just become a cloud in the air. Set your furnace to run the fan for several hours after you empty the tray. I'm not joking on this one I've been doing it for the last five years wear some sort of facial covering a mask a bandana whatever over your mouth.
lumberingjack··on Covid-19: New variant 'raises R number by up to 0.7'
Meanwhile in the "hardest hit" county in Ohio. The county commissioner is explaining to everyone this morning why the official covid numbers don't actually matter don't make any sense. And that that little map they have is totally bogus.
lumberingjack··on Small Towns and Covid-19
All of my tenants were nurses nurses and training nurses at the main hospitals they're all laid off all of them are moving away or have moved away everybody keeps talking about these vaccines and I'm like there's not going to be anybody to administer them the hospital is basically shut down the lights are off there
lumberingjack··on Raytracing won't simplify AAA real-time rendering
Nobody mentioning here that the implementation that RTX brings to games seems like a big gimmick at best, turn it off the game looks really silly, crank it to Max sometimes the game looks really silly because everything is wet. About 10 years ago Nvidia did the same thing with PhysX.
lumberingjack··on Archaeologists uncover ancient street food shop in Pompeii

lumberingjack··on 50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says
I work for the uber wealthy trickle down directly affects me and actually works for my business we always notice an uptick in jobs and work whenever the economy is doing great which is usually directly affected by how much our clients are being taxed.
lumberingjack··on 'New variant' of coronavirus identified
This is why we need experts that are truthful everyone reading all of these reports just gets their little heads confused. Only problem is everyone's got an ax to grind and everyone's biased. I'd rather talk about facts on the ground. I go to the hospital multiple times a week the whole place is shut down with lights turned off most of the nurses are laid off that I used to know that worked there. They keep saying that the hospital is full because of covid patients it's not true the covid wing is full 30 beds and a hospital designed for an entire city.

lumberingjack··on A ubiquitous tire rubber–derived chemical induces acute mortality in coho salmon
I'm willing to spend $100 to $200 more per tire just to save fish I'm not even kidding tires are so cheap people just burn them off like it's no big deal
lumberingjack··on A ubiquitous tire rubber–derived chemical induces acute mortality in coho salmon
California can't even build a new rail line and you're wanting to move major highways what new problems were these new highways create that are probably even worse than killing fish?
lumberingjack··on I tried the first no-kill, lab-grown chicken burger
So now you're saying that everybody's dogs are causing global warming and Peta was right?
lumberingjack··on I tried the first no-kill, lab-grown chicken burger
The manufacturing process is so costly normal production of meat is always going to be a better option for like the next 200 years. This is just virtue signaling BS for those who want to feel morally righteous
