  • Tons of jobs deal with all sorts of annoyances. Policing is objectively not the most dangerous job. The vast majority of issues police tend to face are systemic and better addressed by giving police department money to other programs.

    And relatedly social workers are dollar for dollar far more effective, and when they mess up they don’t turn passersby into Swiss cheese.



  • Gasoline burns accidentally when fumes are released, as the stoichiometric mixture has to be pretty specific to combust.

    Gasoline in a gas tank does not achieve this mixture. That’s the entire job of the fuel pump and throttle in modern cars. As the other user said, there are lots of sparks and live electricity in a car crash, it’s just not easy to set gasoline on fire or make it explode.

    Diesel does not appear to achieve this vapor mixture readily at standard temp and pressure, like gasoline does, and therefore is technically safer in this specific regard.

    You would benefit from being specific when making a comment where your exact words are wholesale endorsement of someone’s worldview. Turning around and immediately changing the entire thesis of your comment makes it seem like your goal was to be contrarian rather than add to the discussion.

    A. "Don’t surround yourself with extremists.

    I’d surround myself with extreme centrists instead"

    B. “That is shallow”

    You. “They see modern issues better than you. (…)”

    You may want to rethink how you provide endorsement in general, if someone pointing out how shallow of a belief something that is inarguably shallow encourages you to claim that other someone, off of a single comment, literally sees the world better.

    Have a good one.






    • cars hold more than 1 person
    • mountains mean that four hours is now three hours
    • cold weather means that four hours is now two hours
    • mountains plus cold weather means four hours is now one and a half hours
    • much of the (us) country lacks charging stations to support that, or even the infrastructure to support the charging stations
    • hybrid cars are the worst of both worlds
    • 300 miles is just barely under the safe distance between most major towns \cities in parts of the us
    • that means you barely or don’t get to your location on one charge
    • current charging infrastructure means taking a couple hours extra on many trips right now. At least some of this is improving, but very slowly.

    This is a very real problem. We know, we have family with an ev who need to travel to us to visit on occasion.
