Nearly every car sold in Norway is now electric
The future is here it’s just not evenly distributed

Remember 10 years ago when this was “impossible?”
Month: September 2022
Working In
About the below post, do those workouts really seem incredibly difficult to most people? Get in a routine and it’s just something you do.
Those are easy, easy workouts compared to the shit I used to do in the army.
Half Ag
You can’t get Zac Efron’s body. And you shouldn’t try.
Half-agreed, mainly due to that it’s not really healthy to use diuretics and to be so persistently dehydrated. But those workouts Chris and Zac were doing? They’re not that hard. I work out harder than Chris Pratt did and about the same as Zac Efron did.
I work out more frequently than Zac, but do fewer exercises each time. I work out three days on, one day off, and alternate arms/back and legs/abs. None of my workouts are all that easy, though, don’t get me wrong. But it’s not a superhuman effort. I also try to change it up so I don’t lose interest and quit.
I’m just really tired of reading articles about how wallowing in loserdom is the only thing you can do — because that is a lie. Wallow in loserdom or not. It’s your choice. I choose not to, that’s all. You could do the same.
Best Time
Reminder: Everyone doesn't work best at the same times

Yep. Tons of dipshit clowns have told me it’s “impossible,” but I work best between midnight and 4am or so. That’s when I am most alert and awake. Any other time, I am significantly less intelligent and less likely to come up with good ideas.

I know it won’t stop the Covidians crying, but Long Covid is easily preventable. and reversible by vaccination (read the whole thread, it’s worth it).
Get vaxxed:
Chains of Beaning
Absolutely wild how the most important story in the country right now is an impending strike of 125,000 railroad workers that will devastate supply chains and no one is covering it because it’d be virtually impossible to avoid that the unions are completely in the right here
— August J. Pollak (@AugustJPollak) September 13, 2022
The unions are right and I support them 100%
But if you think inflation is bad now, just wait. Transitory, mmmhmmm.
Backlook
I wonder if in 100 years we’ll look back at the time of Covid and marvel that people did for a while sincerely believe and argue that no one really needed social contact, or to go to a restaurant, or to see friends and family in person.
Maybe not; maybe our successors will be firmly ensconced in the pods by then, eating bugs alone, looking back at us as the troglodytes who actually went out in person and did things with people in the same room.
But I hope not.
Borked to Hell
Letting developers set up infrastructure is just a bad idea. Saw the results of that today when I had to spend several hours on the phone troubleshooting some severely broken stuff.
I set it up again myself from scratch and with it all fully working in less than 15 minutes.
Concon
When pay phones were prevalent, was their existence ever controversial for allowing people to make phone calls that couldn’t easily traced back to an individual?
— Joe Weisenthal (@TheStalwart) September 11, 2022
No, that was never controversial. It’s only in our modern age that we believe everyone not only has the obligation but the sacred duty to be surveilled 24/7, with the liberals cheering for that just as hard as anyone else.

This mentality is so alien to me as a person who grew up rural & working class. When I was a kid, restaurants like Olive Garden and Red Lobster were the expensive places we’d drive by on the way to Walmart or the diner. When my grandma took me to Bertucci’s, I felt like royalty. https://t.co/VFiFBMavVC

The nicest restaurant I’d ever been to up until my early 20s was Red Lobster.
In Transit
US consumer price growth unexpectedly rose in August.
Unexpectedly? LOL. These people really still believe this shit. This is the same crew as the “transitory” mooks who were wrong for a year and more. They will continue to be wrong, unfortunately for us.

kremlin propaganda was prescient, russia is finally de-nazifying ukraine, although in this case it's by leaving

Making Ian Welsh and Chomsky cry just isn’t as fun as it used to be, though. Alas.
Broken
It’s so weird in TV shows how people can just walk into other folks’ workplaces to surprise them when everywhere IRL makes you go through an elaborate process even when people expect your presence.
— ✨Yael Grauer✨ (@yaelwrites) September 10, 2022
I’m old enough to remember when most workplaces and schools used to be much more open — it was also a world where you could meet arriving friends and loved ones at airport gates and walk them there when departing.
It was a better world in those ways. 9/11 was really when things started trending much worse; the optimism and spirit of the 1990s was truly and irrevocably broken that day.
Brakeup
The only car I’ve ever driven with better-feeling brakes than my SS is a Porsche.
I don’t think people realize that their car has trash brakes until they drive something with great braking capabilities and feel.
