I get the edges are very blurry when defining what something is or isn't in biology, but I wouldn't equate destroy or alter with consume, or grow with reproduce, either.

By these definitions for eat and grow, a fire is alive. I'd consider prions no more alive than fire, while still being as dangerous as fire.

Some people would call me a muskrat. I plan on buying a non-Tesla EV. There are better options on the market for a similar price.

You say this like various news agencies in America didn't try the same thing. I'm sure this will end the same way.

23 × 1.2 tonnes is 27.6 tonnes of debris. To convert to tons, multiply by 1.1, giving about 30.4 tons. (Remember, a tonne is 1000 kg, and a ton is 2000 lbs. Don't mix those numbers up.) So, it's more like a 65% increase daily, which may be no laughing matter, depending on what those compounds are. But first, make sure your facts are correct.

Thos is how research works. People have an idea. They do a lot of testing, and figure out a process that works. They say, "Hey, check out what we did!" Someone else, who was looking at something else, perhaps in a completely different field, learns about this and it leads to some practical advance in the world at large. Kind of like seeing salt making frog legs jump leading to lithium ion batteries.

Well, age of consent in Texas is 17, I'm pretty sure people under 17 are still having sex, and I'd prefer those who could get pregnant from rape have unfettered access to contraceptives, as well.

Anyone who can get pregnant should be able to get contraceptives without another person's consent.

It shouldn't be, but do you think extremely conservative parents are giving them accurate, detailed, unbiased information at home?

Flashbacks to stories from my mom.

Localized mutations happen all the time, throughout your life. The most common occurance the average person has heard of results in cancer. That said, these won't be passed on to your children.

And yet you don't understand the risks of driving an ICE car under extreme cold conditions. I'm not saying you don't have a job in this market, but this situation isn't exactly unheard of. Sometimes the drawing board and real-world experience don't match up.

So I'm dumb because I've experienced this before, or I'm dumb because the mechanic said this was the problem? Just trying to clarify.

No, I'm saying a 10% drop isn't an issue.

To clarify, where I live it is recommended to not get below 25% fuel remaining, preferably not below 50%, in the winter. Low fuel levels can lead to frost in your tank and then to frozen fuel lines. So this would be a positive impact in my region.

It's probably been said a million times before, but an electric car is less polluting than an ICE car, even if the electricity is generated from coal (the most polluting option). Also, the pollution won't be at street level in a densely populated area, so will have less immediate affects to the population, let alone the reduction of effects to the environment.

Lol talking about people not reading the article and you didn't even get to the end of the title.

I live near one of the coldest cities in the world, EVs are more common all the time, and one user said he sees about a 10% drop in range due in the winter. That means that if I bought a brand-new EV and never parked it indoors that it would go from a 500 km range to 450 in the winter. I can live with that. Even with a slow charger, it should be back at full every day before we leave home.

I had a coworker that would just toss his empty coffee cup on the ground on the way into work. He would literally pass 5 trash cans in the next 2 minutes, but I guess he figured that was too long to hold onto something he didn't need anymore.

If a small population was already there, say, introduced by people, every moose that migrated there would be a breeding candidate.
