Let's say the goal is really to lower emissions in the world.
After giving it some thoughts, I think that a car that runs on steam would produce the lowest emissions. It can be powered by anything that burns, but as it is powered by unpressurized fuel in a sealed chamber, the combusted fuel is fully burned, unlike fuel combustion under pressure like a modern petrol or diesel car.
The steam motor would also be more durable as it won't need any lubricant, because the water in the pistons lubricates it. That would be a closed water system, so the water (steam) is re-used using a condensor.
The result: way lower emissions by a car that is used autonomous.
Electric cars were never meant to reduce emissions, it is meant to lose the autonomous part.

I saw some reports of the humanitarian disaster that is being going on in Gaza. 1.45M people in tent camps, no decent sanitary, trash all over the place and people being bitten by rats and weasels while sleeping. No news coverage about it at all.
This is what the zionists stand for and Trump is supporting it. Infuriating!

To me the declining Comex inventory of gold and silver are interesting. There is a record low inventory there that is eligible for delivery. We could see a force majeure soon there.😉

So I was wondering how people get hooked on certain behaviours including online behaviours.

My conclusion was that it is because of intermittant reinforcement which is very addictive.

Intermittent reinforcement is a schedule of rewards for certain behaviors or responses but without any predictable pattern. In other words, the reward comes periodically, not every time it’s performed.

Casino's are using this.
Porn sites are using this.
Shopping sites are using this.
Social media platforms are using this.

If You know for sure You get pleasure or positive feedback every time You spin the wheel, post something or watch any porn video, it will get boring really fast.
If You never get any pleasure or positive feedback You won't go back doing that either.
If You get positive feedback or pleasure only 1 in 6 times, it's way more addictive. Once in a while that dopamine hit, the really good feeling. It will make You come back for that again and again.

What this leads to is conditioning, You are now conditioned to do this again to get this feeling good hit.

I'd like to encourage You, with the above in mind, to be aware of all this.

Cheers! 😉

Have You ever wondered why French fries are so thin at the McDonalds?

It's because they can deepfry those raw potato pieces all at once at one high temperature.
When You make French fries from scratch with normal sized raw pieces, You have to deepfry them first at a low temperature and then deepfry them at a high temperature. 😄
