I thought you said you wanted me to tell you what to say? What does that do with etymology?

Preferably "I've been doing a lot of introspection and am really sorry that my internalized issues manifested in a way that caused me to hurt others."

Everything from Supergiant is fantastic, worth a listen even if you don't play the games. Also, Burnout Revenge had such a good soundtrack. Completely shaped my preference for music in highschool.

Let's be real, if you're close enough that these are hitting you you're getting hit by the multi ton truck as well. They're a little silly, but not the huge hazard you're making them out to be.

Come try our new "fractal meat" the taste goes on forever!*

*Fractal meat is not safe for children, the elderly, expecting mothers, or people who utilize atp for cellular function and energy generation. Please consult your doctor if screaming lasts more than four hours after consuming fractal meat.

I'll take arguments which could have been solved if the person asking for info had taken the time to run a simple Google search for $500 please.

I said earlier if you were arguing in bad faith I hoped your car threw a rod . Seeing as you are asking for citations while only providing anecdotal evidence, accusing me of virtue signaling rather than addressing any of my arguments, and moving the goal posts, I wish you a very merry your car has thrown a rod and needs a new engine.

How's that rod knock treating you?

Ah yes, I am virtue signaling, while you are taking your proud stance against the woke mob. Good on you bud.

All that out of the way, let's look at your points:

You get 40 mpg in your current car, cool. If every car was your car and every driver drove like you that would be a good point. Considering all the massive trucks, ancient beaters, and huge SUVs I see on the road I would argue that that isn't the case.

Regarding the efficiency issue, a 2020 study I found put ice gas engines at 11-27 percent and diesel engines at 25-37 percent. This would indicate that evs are, at worst, about a net even compared to ice cars. On top of this, carbon capture is much easier to accomplish when energy is generated at one place rather than by every individual vehicle. Also, energy wasted on transmitting power to the tire? My brother in Christ, does your car not have wheels?

Finally, this entire argument is around whether evs powered by fossil fuels are more efficient than used ice cars. This is ignoring the fact that one, used evs exist, and two, my used kia ev6 can be powered by renewables, while your ice car will only ever use gas. As we transition to a more renewable heavy energy grid, my care will get more efficient while yours at best stays the same.

Anyway, long useless rant into the void over. If you are arguing in good faith I hope I've brought up some good points, and if you aren't I hope your car throws a rod.

Economy of scale. While I'd prefer the electricity I use to charge my car come from a clean source, a single coal plant is more efficient at producing power than however many thousand individual engines.

A dual type rock and fairy maybe? At least until they add a resin adhesive type I suppose.
