I only wished to offer a suggestion, though I misread the post a bit.

I live in the sticks so I need a car.

There's also the consideration that most of Europe will be planning to move to electric cars in the next decade or so anyway, so the environmental factor won't be much of an issue then!

I think the production of large and many batteries required for such cars still have environmental issues, unfortunately.

Could be said about almost everything though innit, selflessness only achieved by consuming nothing lest it be mass produced

Never really cared for the whole "electric cars will help save the planet" angle myself. Sure, the car itself isn't burning fossil fuels while in use, but what do you think is generating the electricity that powers the electric car?

It's fossil fuels.

The whole thing is just pushing responsibility off of the people and entities that could make the most impact (governments, corporations, the 1%) onto the people that make the lesser impact, tricking them into thinking that they're making a difference when they're really not, so the former can keep doing what it's doing while not giving a fuck about what happens.

Isn't the whole point literally to get to an infrastructure where fossil fuels aren't being used in the whole process?

Honestly if huge corps owned by multi billionaires weren't billowing toxic shit into the air, water, land, food, we wouldn't have this issue neatly as bad.

I don't think that increased use in electric cars is going to cause an increase in non-fossil fuel infrastructure. Or even if it would, it's not gonna happen

Quite a fatalistic and cynical way to look at it, but I wasn't implying that anyway. Just that as far as I am aware the plan is to put that infrastructure in so that they can be used.

But we're just going to go in circles and butt heads so - how is everyone today!

hi!!! im relaxing and enjoying my days off from work

how have you been??

Fairy May 1st, 2022 10:24 PM

Pretty good! Finally got some great news: my dad’s brain MRI came back with no issues or anything anomalous that isn’t consistent with typical aging! So that was a huge relief to hear. :’)

colours May 3rd, 2022 5:49 PM

i wish i had good news my way but life has been extremely bleh these days and will continue to be so for the near future, at least. u_u i'm working on it, though.

moon May 4th, 2022 10:35 AM

hang in there angie dear!

Sothis May 4th, 2022 12:24 PM

Oh! My mom's biopsy came back free of cancer. But they don't know /what/ it is.

That's fantastic! I don't know what the issue is with your Mom but I'm happy for her. :) Hopefully now it can be treated without as many "what ifs" causing extra anxiety.

Sothis May 7th, 2022 2:11 PM

She's a senior, so she has yearly mammographys. This year, they found something they couldn't identify, so she had a biopsy.

Fairy May 7th, 2022 4:40 PM

Ah, I see. Well, I'm glad the anomaly ended up benign! I'm sure it will be identified and dealt with by her doctors. :)

Sothis May 8th, 2022 2:19 PM

Just it not being cancer is relief enough for us.
Honestly, I already have to get regular tests for my health, I'm not looking forward to that one.

Hola!!! I'm ok ty! How about you? I hope life is treating you well!

How about the rest of you lovely peeps? How is the PC fam today?


I haven't posted in here in far too long! I still hope to see Multiverse of Madness at some point but I can't until I'm clear obviously. I think I'll take some time to watch something or finish some very neglected poetry if I get the chance.

What does everyone have planned for the rest of the week?

Sothis May 17th, 2022 1:39 PM

Well, I work Thursday to Sunday I think.
I hope it's not too hot, some of my work is outside.

Pyrax May 19th, 2022 2:33 PM

Feeling pretty great and refreshed, it's my second week at the gym. My aim is 3-5 visits per week depending on work, gotta make it a habit so I don't find myself dropping it after a month or two. So I guess this week's plans are: go to the gym on Friday and Saturday, as well as get a start on Bravely Default II.

Sothis May 19th, 2022 6:06 PM

Oh my god, one of my coworkers has literally the worst personality. I'm gonna ask my manager to schedule me around her.

I hope they can do something for you, nobody needs to be dealing with that.

Re: Plans for the rest of the week. Submitted to a physical on last Thursday (19th). Went by without incident. Needs to complete a blood test later still. Decided to roll it in with the usual slew at the end of the month. Remarks on nothing of note for week now past and the week ahead.

Sighs. Recalled a bunch of JIF peanut butter over potential Salmonella. Counts among those at high risk for severe illness. Feels quite unlucky, given the very low number of foods consumed. (Swaps brands easily enough, for the record.)

(May or may not have had affected jars. Only saw the UPCs in the press release initially. Discovered lot numbers only after returning them. Remembers the best-by dates, but not the lot numbers.)

Thing is she's a part timer who works nearly every day, and I'm a full timer with longer hours so it may be hard.
