They should get Houston to instruct the astronauts to translate the toilet handle in a high frequency oscillatory movement of 120Hz.


I’m at Walter Reed feeling fine thanks everyone.



Buy used, they devalue like rocks


They are cashing in production tax incentives and cooking the books. GM did the same thing 2008 before it all collapsed.
Elon was hoping everyone would just forget his antics.


I get that Americans can’t do simple math, but 30% less range for 60% less cost always makes economic sense.
Ethanol does not prematurely dissolve seals and hoses on any car made in the last 30 years, and even if it does on older classic gas guzzlers, the hoses can be replaced for tens of dollars.
Lot of Facebook Dad facts in this thread.


Ethanol still makes C02, but that C02 was captured the previous season during growth. Gas releases C02 captured millions of years ago.


30% less energy, for 60% less cost.


Surprisingly? Corn is how you fatten up farm animals and humans, that’s been known hundreds of years. That’s what “corn fed” refers to.
And you get fatter eating animals fed corn.


You only need sugar to make ethanol, which is not nutritional.


It doesn’t. Likely why Americans are so fat. Everything in US food has corn or is fed corn. 98.5% of corn is used for cheap sugars, oils, and precursor for plastics.


Dumb take, less than 1.5% of corn grown in USA is edible.


Corn is used for many industrial raw materials, not just ethanol.


The only people calling ethanol “stupid” are internet bots driven by oil companies.


For the record: ethanol burns with no carbon residue. All you want get is CO2 and water. Some countries run on E100 ethanol. Ethanol is used in drag and indycar racing, look it up.
Ethanol burns with 1/3 less energy vs gas, but much higher octane rating.
So while you will get 25% less fuel economy with E85, it costs less than half as much. But pickup drivers never math good.
It is pretty hilarious to hear the stories of backed up toilets and ankle deep diarrhea.


Dow slid to below 46000.
