Mid-thirties furry engineering type. Keeps the spicy rocks in the bin. Do not recharge. Do not pierce or burn.

Commercial vehicles here have smaller snoots than their US cousins. With the elevated driving position, you don't feel as close to the car in front. I have to be super vigilent about maintaining a safe distance when driving my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (same as a Dodge Sprinter).
On the other paw, I was tailgated by someone in a black VW Crafter the other day who absolutely lost his mind when I started to slow down (if the veh behind you does not have enough distance to stop, you slow down to reduce the amount of energy they're going to dump into you, and to encourage them to overtake and piss off).
Like most things, tho, we tend to remember bad experiences more than good ones, so you might encounter forty white vans in a day who are perfectly safe and courteous, but it's the one that sits on your ass that you remember.

As far as an argument goes for replacing the sources, EDFE (and hopefully also RR soonish) are starting to build the new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK. Those power stations will need people, and a good chunk of those people will need a working knowledge of radiation and shielding. There's a hundred years of work there.
Kids in high school now will be helping to build new power stations. Their children will be helping to run them. Their children's children, too. Providing the inspiration that gets some of them onto that career path will set them up for life.

I wouldn't give a second thought to driving to Naples in an electric car, but I'd prefer to do it in my camper van and go touring. When I was looking for a van to convert into a camper, I looked real hard for something with decent range, but it was like 150 km max. And then, after I buy a diesel-powered Sprinter, Mercedes-Benz start advertising an electric Sprinter with 400 km range -.-;

2024-07-05 19:32:46 UTC

It's wild how there are now electric cars with a greater range on a full charge (Peugeot E3008 - 680 km) than my Volvo on a full tank (V70XC - 630 km)
Yeah, recharging still takes longer than refueling, but after driving that far, I'd want a good break anyway

2024-07-05 13:26:29 UTC
