I’ve been wanting Honda to make an affordable all-electric car for years. Based on how BYD is selling, I’m guessing I’m not the only one.

Instead they keep making bigger and bigger, gas-guzzling vehicles, with bells and whistles we don’t need, saying that’s what sells and they can’t make an electric vehicle they’re happy with.

Well, too bad. It seems I’ve bought my last Honda, sadly, because my next vehicle will not burn gasoline.

I just thought it was a joke…

Omg, I actually do think and say it this way. Why Why Zed sounds wrong :(

Yeah another one I thought of is XYZ

For me it’s Zed-axis, but Ecks-Why-Zee coordinates.

Lemon squee zed

Exactly. You never get what you want, but you certainly get whatever crap you see.

Username checks out, maybe…

Like many things, it depends. I’m curious about the context where you’re actually hearing YouTubers say the letter.

It’s usually “zed” and we’re taught it as “zed” in school - at least when i was a kid.

If I’m spelling something it is Zed. I don’t think I’ve ever said Zee in that context.

The alphabet ends with Zee when singing it, due to the rhyme with Vee (and probably Sesame Street).

In my head I will say Nissan Zee for a Z type car. Though if I was to speak the phrase “Nissan Z type” I would say Zed.

When it is used in online slang (GG EZ) it is “Zee” for “easy”.

ZZ Top is Zee Zee Top. Zorro draws a Zed. Things are Zed-shaped, not Zee-shaped in general.

Good news: we’re creating our own hostile alien invasion right here on Earth!

Just look at the posted picture. Horizons don’t look like that without smog.

Hopefully not too mainstream for you, but The Lottery by Shirley Jackson has always stuck with me.

Can I snag The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinay? I’m travelling right now and point-and-click fits the bill. (I’m in the middle of Deponia at the moment.)

I’ve lived in the beach cities. I’ve seen the yellow skies.

Personally I feel like they’re generally pretty good at WYSIWYG. What they’re bad at is WYSIWYW (What You See Is What You Want).

After I do a bunch of work in Word and I have a bunch of garbage, when I load that file back I still have the same garbage. If I print it, I get the same garbage. So yeah, I get what I see.

Is that what I want? No, I want not-garbage.

Anyone remember WordPerfect coming out with “reveal codes” and allowing you to basically edit the markup and fix the issues?

It might have just rained. You can still see the smog layer in this picture along the horizon.

As others have mentioned, all you need to do is replace the connector where the red wire broke off. Since this piece isn’t strictly necessary for printing, you can use it for a learning moment if you’ve never done anything like that before.

Don’t tell anyone I told you but if you look for videos on how those connectors work, you can probably figure out how to keep using the existing connector and just remove the old bit of broken off red wire and reconnect the main part of the wire.

Maybe you’re presenting the wrong end.

You’re describing fraud. Waste would be spending money unnecessarily, but not having anyone specific intentionally gain from it.

Have you tried getting naked and flopping down on your back beside him?

Not on nearly the same scale. If properly composted, about 40% of the carbon will be turned into gases by the creatures breaking it down (in the form of carbon dioxide) but most of it would go directly back into the soil. If disposed of improperly, like in a landfill, then yes, that number shoots way up (50-90%) as you start getting methane gas production in an anaerobic environment.

In any case, just to be clear, I was just giving some sample numbers on how wood is used to create electricity.

I’m not really giving a commentary on whether it is a good idea to do this or not. I’m not an expert tin the field and it is a heavily debated process. This study suggests it’s not good, but my gut feeling is that it’s still better than burning fossil fuels.

There is another big issue where sometimes the wood was being sourced from non-waste sources - like Canadian old growth forest being used to fuel power plants in England. That changes the equation entirely and I’m staunchly against it. Like, if they’re using sawdust from sawmills, yeah, we can talk. But reports were that whole logs were being used, and just fuck that. No fucking way!
