Electric Vehicle Announcements

I’ve invented a new car. It will have a 1000 mile range, 10 tons of towing capacity, and be carbon negative. It sucks CO2 out of the atmosphere.

It doesn’t really have a fuel tank. It has a filter, so the range is how long it can go between cleanings, which is how the CO2 is collected.

I built a prototype, but you can’t see it.

Give me money.

Worldbuilding

Geology was probably the most useful class I’ve taken for building fantasy worlds. I’d like to take an ecology one, but most of them have various Bio prereqs. With geology I got right into the shape characteristics of the natural world. What do mountain ranges look like? What causes the difference between valleys? How big are the flat areas? Interesting stuff.

Meal Plan

I refuse to be the creepy old guy living in the dorms, but I am definitely getting a meal plan. I am so getting a meal plan.

(In the voice of Bilbo Baggins talking to Gandalf about seeing mountains)I’m going to eat breakfast again. BREAKFAST!

Discrete

Discrete and discreet are two different words. Discrete is distinct/separate, and discreet is quiet, subtle, or showing good judgement.

I never knew that.

Boeing 2

The Drive just had an article about Boeing’s ongoing failure to make a decent aerial refueling vehicle.

Thinking of Boeing, they have three major problems.

1) The 737 Max debacle
2) The Starliner failure
3) The KC 46 dumpster fire

Efforts to cut costs and separate the engineering sections from the management have damned the company.
