In addition to a large number of other reasons, I just dont really see the point of getting a driver's license unless I already have a car, and I dont see the point in getting a car because thats just another unneccesary expense that I don't have money for to not only buy, but to upkeep (and I know NOTHING about mechanics or car upkeep and I have no interest in learning), and that'd I'd be adding to my life.

But it's also just very weird that people act like you can't be a "real adult" if you don't drive. I am an adult, and it's my adult decision to not drive. Maybe I will in the future but that's my business. If I wanted to, I would learn. But I dont want to.

Romotow’s T8,

This ambitious concept was created on paper in 2012 as a futuristic idea, almost unattainable at that time. However, six years later, in 2018, the first renders were revealed, and today, this promising concept is down on its way to the market, with a design that stayed as aerodynamic and special as the initial sketches.

It needs only some seconds for the sleek rotatable trailer to transform into a glamping RV. With an automatic hydraulic mechanism, the inner section of the camper rotates 90 degrees and uncovers an L-shaped scheme. 

The main cabin measures around nine meters, while the revealed deck extends the total floor space by 70%. The U-shaped wall accommodates a fold-down table or bench seat, enhancing the mobile living experience.

Alright then! *rubbing hands*

To start, maybe how/why Kano and the others decided to become Eco Sages?

I guess when they first discovered eco as kids, their specific one called to them. and they just started looking into it and going to their sages at the time for guidance and training, eventually take their place as sages.

So for Kano, red called to him bc he wanted strength and power.

For Granny Nymha, blue called to her because she sought knowledge

And Quill with all of her anxiety, yellow gave her a way to protect herself.

When jak and dax first meet quill, i want her to be stunned and screaming abt how the heck they got to her hut?? and theyre like, uh, we walked here? and shes like

AND YOU DIDNT STEP ON ANY OF THE MINES!? NOT ONE!?

dax: excuse me...did you just say MINES!? ARE YOU SAYIN' WE COULDA BEEN BLOWN TO SMITHERINES IF JAK TOOK JUST ONE WRONG STEP!?

Electric Vehicle Plastics Market: An In-Depth Exploration and its Contribution to a Circular Automotive Industry

The global electric vehicle plastics market size was estimated at USD 13.33 billion in 2030 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.0% from 2024 to 2030. The industry is projected to witness significant growth in terms of consumption, on account of high application scope and increasing demand from the growing population. The Polypropylene (PP) resin demand in the Asia Pacific region is estimated to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. Strong government support & initiatives regarding emissions and increasing investment by manufacturers are propelling the growth of the region.

Electric Vehicle Plastics Market Report Highlights

The Asia Pacific region is estimated to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2022 to 2030. Increasing demand from the growing population coupled with environmental concerns among others are anticipated to drive market growth in the region

The battery segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR from 2022 to 2030. Batteries are one of the significant components of an EV and, in comparison to combustion engines, battery vehicles do not produce any emissions and are eco-friendly. The growing demand for EVs has promising growth for EV batteries

The exterior application segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2021 and is estimated to continue its dominance over the forecast period due to the high demand in aesthetics

The BEV vehicle type segment led the industry in 2021 and it is anticipated to continue growing over the forecast period as PHEVs have higher maintenance costs than BEVs

Furthermore, EVs are efficient and require less maintenance as compared with traditional vehicles. These factors are expected to boost the demand for EVs, which is expected to drive the demand for plastics over the forecast period. Increasing utilization of plastics in EVs is anticipated to boost industry growth positively over the forecast period. Plastics have proven to perform well under harsh conditions through their resistance to shock, moisture, oxidation, and further maintaining their chemical and mechanical properties. Plastics will be crucial material for manufacturing lightweight and energy-efficient EVs. Based on resin type, PP is expected to witness major demand during the projected years.

Polypropylene is used in many components of the vehicle including bumpers, carpet fibers, cable insulation, and others. Properties, such as good heat, chemical & fatigue resistance, and others, are anticipated to drive the demand for PP in the industry. Major manufacturers are adopting expansion strategies, such as new product development, production facility expansions, mergers & acquisitions, and joint ventures. For instance, in October 2021, DuPont launched a new extension of its existing Zytel HTN range, named as Zytel 500 series. These products are developed to provide enhanced retention properties in e-mobility oils, electrically friendly characteristics, and a high Comparative Tracking Index (CTI).

Europe 2022 - What I Learned About Germany

Wow, a whole month in Germany, both in cities, towns and villages! I learned so many interesting things, and saw so many interesting places. But a handful of thing stuck out, both good and sometime mildly infuriating. So in no particular order: (Also please note - these are only my observations, and admittedly my sample size was pretty small, but give me a break, this isn’t a peer-reviewed academic paper, K?)

1) Germans are very proud of their country. Almost everywhere I went, people were easily able to tell me the sights, the deep, deep history behind the various landmarks and of their city. They are also fiercely proud of their particular state/region. My friend Leonie is on a committee to plan for her village’s 1,000 year anniversary next year! I mean, that’s crazy. And yet...

2) Germans can also be critical of their country. This is perhaps more political, but they also don’t “drink the Kool-Aid.” They have the ability to criticize what they see as unfair or wrong.

3) Germany is very eco-conscious. There are many younger Germans that are vegetarian or vegan, (or light on the meat) often due to them understanding the larger impact of meat processing. In addition, they all separate trash, paper, compost, etc., they have a hefty bottle deposit (.25 for plastic and cans, which is why almost all beer is still bottled in glass (.08 deposit). There are plenty of electric cars or carless folks, there is tons of bike riding (and I’ve never seen so many ebikes), people are converting heating sources to more sustainable ones, and the list goes on and on.

4) It sometimes feel impossible to find a restroom, and when you do... OK, this one is definitely more of a personal bitch of mine, but lots of places that we are accustomed to having restrooms in the US don’t in Germany (and much of Europe at large, honestly). You will not find them in stores unless you’re in a mall, most food places (unless it’s a full fledged restaurant) or in public. And when you do find them in more public places, you are required to pay anywhere between .50 to a Euro, which you may or may not have on you. Or they have an attendant that you pay for the luxury of having the restroom by them (so I guess the place doesn’t pay to clean their own?) And again, some cafes and all bars have restrooms, but all the places are small, so I can’t duck in and out, and so you end up paying for the privilege to use it. Which I’m not against, but sometimes, you just gotta go.

5) People here follow the rules. I have stood at crosswalks with Germans where there is no cars in sight for quite a distance, but no one will jaywalk. And if someone does, they get clucked at by others. You will get yelled at by a car if you’re any way in their way. Most everyone wears their masks on the train, which is required, but even the conductor will tell someone to put it on when they don’t. When it comes to paying bar tabs, I have have seen people tell the server, “Oh you forgot to add a few beers.”

6) Except for when they don’t. There’s only a few exceptions here, but one is when people are taking the train to a party weekend, they bring a big ol’ boombox (but like a modern style, rechargeable WiFi one) or at least a loud-ass phone, and play absolutely terrible German EDM bullshit while they drink. (Which is not allowed on the trains, but no one says anything, which I’m cool with. Just not the loud-ass music bothering everyone else.) The only other thing is breaking the speed limit. They do have speed cameras in certain areas of the country and generally drivers are respectful going through villages AND there are sections of the autobahn that do not have limits, but people drive fast here. Speaking of which...

7) German people KNOW how to drive. Getting a driver’s license is no joke in Germany. It costs a good chunk of money, requires multiple classes, and even slightly off-topic things like first aid. But you know what? It all pays off. These people know how to drive, and drive well. And drive well fast.

8) Every town has its own brewery. The US was once like this way back in the day, but conglomerations and buyouts as well as a diverse culture has all but killed the smalltown US brewery (unless they’re some microbrewery, which are only in certain areas). Not so in Germany, where tiny towns have a brewery, and if they don’t you can bet your ass there’s one the next town over. Sure, you can get other beers at the store, but they are always proud and drink their local brew. And that some brewery will sponsor all the bars in the area. Speaking of beer...

9) Beer culture is a culture. This also applies to other parts of Europe (I’m looking at you, Czech Republic) but everyone drinks beer, even your 75 year old granny. It’s part of the culture, and a great way for people to meet, bond, and just shoot the shit. The pubs are great, biergartens are great, and the beer is great. But of course there are other liquors. Speaking of which,

10) Schnapps is a thing, and so are Aperol Spritzes. Now schnapps aren’t fully prevalent throughout the whole country: most of what I saw was in the Black Forest, but the whole country knows about it. And if thought schnapps were relegated to only orange and peppermint, I got news for ya, buster: That ain’t the case. There are tons of schnapps, different kinds, lots of brands, yadda yadda yadda. And if it’s not that liquor, I can safely tell you that I have never seen so many freaking Aperol Spritzes. They love them here! Second seems like gin.

11) This country is f**king beautiful. Seriously. There are parts of it that give me a hardcore Oregon vibe in spots, and then there are others that I’ve never seen anything like. The natural beauty is some of the best in the world, and the architecture, both new and old, is also wonderful. Speaking of architecture...

12) Houses in this country are built to last. Like, forever. Giant wood beams go in even the most basic of houses, there’s multiple nook and crevices and side rooms, and this clearly goes way back. When I visited farmhouses in the Black Forest, I was so surprised at how everything seemed so overengineered which would explain how they were some 500 years old.

13) The Germans are known for being prompt and precise, but apparently that doesn’t apply to their trains. Ask any German about Deutsch Bahn, the nationwide train system that runs here, and prepare for an earful. They think the trains should be better, they think they should be cheaper, and above all, they think it they should show up on time.

That’s what I got for now: If I think of more I’ll add them.
