Electric Garbage Trucks Are The Heavy-Duty EV Story Hiding In Plain Sight - CleanTechnica

Cities are finding that electric refuse trucks can cut noise, exhaust, and diesel risk while improving a core municipal service.

CleanTechnica

do tell how you reconcile your conscience wrt the conflict of fatuous frivolous discretionary travel by a means that burns one of the most polluting fuels on the planet, with the catastrophic acceleration of our human-induced climate crisis? do you have any sense of morality at all? is it all just me me me, for humans like you?

Why packing for a cruise ship is different to other holidays

Why packing for a cruise ship is different to other holidays

Sure, things are simple when you only have to unpack once – but that’s no help if you forget the basics.

I thought being scammed once made me immune to it happening again. I was wrong

These dodgy operators are very good at the shady work they do: they crank up the terror, drown out the logical part of your brain and then move fast

this problem is technically comprehensible to me, but nonetheless infuriating

just imagine if the strayan great unwashed had not spent decades supporting vacuous political arseholes lying in fossilfool beds, & instead actually acted on the science then. just think how so many of our contemporary problems would have been reduced, if not damn near obviated, had simply straya not continued to be the stupid country

a specific remark to the article -- wtf are the poor bastards supposed to do right now, who can't get warm, or cooking done, etc, til some indeterminate future time when the infrastructure catches up? they've done the right thing, & the ooniverse now punishes them for it. let no good deed go unpunished.

The growing problem stopping Melbourne residents using their microwave

A power company warns that growing electricity demand is creating an undervoltage problem, as Victoria's infrastructure struggles to keep up with the transition from gas.

My flight to Europe is cancelled. I’m nervous about accepting the replacement

In the end, I will either find an alternative route or defer my trip. But I feel for those who don’t have a choice – the flight attendants.

@PinkNews all rightwing &/or otherwise religious nutjobs who subscribe to this conversion bullshit, are dumber than a box of gravel, & actively doing evil upon innocent others. fuck them to their various hells. 😡🖕

What keeps me from veering from grumpiness about my species to outright nihilism, even when an awful lot of people seem to make dumb choices, is that it's not the fault of our individual lives that evolution built us to be riddled with security flaws in how we process the world around us, so bad ideas can easily infect us. You can't fault a toddler for failing calculus, and you have to let us off the hook for engineering mistakes. #misanthropy #proanthropy #forgiveness #longview #deeptime

yet so many people are so selfish that they just don't care, being all focused on me me me

and so the foul beast is fed & grows

this is genuinely exciting!

dare i even hope? me, an archly cynical depressed misanthropist who usually finds she's correct re the endless shitfuckery of this species, could even i dare to hope here?

ofc i'm sure that elbow's owners will instruct him to give it the thumbs down.

A new economic superpower could spark a global retreat from fossil fuels

Eighty-five countries have sought a roadmap to phasing out fossil fuels. A conference this month offers hope they could unite

here's a really radical idea...

just entirely drop the fetish for leather altogether

if society becomes defetishised for leather, then ipso facto none of these shitty faux leather monstrosities are needed

at all

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-07/vegan-leather-not-as-sustainable-eco-friendly-as-claimed/101622944

it really ain't rocket science

#leather #vegan #weareselfishcruelbastards #wearetotallyfucked #misanthropy #AsteroidNow

Vegan leather sounds eco‑friendly but the truth is complex

As fashion brands move away from animal leather, "vegan" has come to suggest something that is both kinder to animals and better for the planet. However, the reality is more complicated.
