Ford’s Q1 EV sales grew 86%, but it’s shifting focus to hybrids

Ford is selling more EVs than ever, but it wants to build more hybrids instead.

mauri87,

@arstechnica I wish we’d be farther along with EV infrastructure but unfortunately it’s not there yet.

The evidence that cars don’t work as primary mass transport in cities is everywhere: traffic jams, air pollution, accident rates, the shocking fraction of city space taken up by parking spaces, safety barriers/bollards etc. This 100 year experiment should be declared over, and we should put proper effort into the systems that HAVE been shown to work and scale: walking, cycling, e-cargo bikes, cheap/accessible/reliable public transport. This “argument” about LTNs is just lazy delay. #LTN #cities

mauri87,

@helenczerski well said 💯...the electric car wasn't built to save the environment, it was built to save the car industry.

Notice how you play Symphony of the Night like a normal being...and then you get the Walk Armor and the entire game becomes something else entirely?

Kudos, KONAMI. 😂

mauri87,

@retronianne this game is so full of Easter eggs that when you play it again for the umpteenth time, you remember something new every single playthrough. Classic among classics, #castlevaniasotn

This looks interesting
I know they are interpreting it as the mammal attacking the dinosaur, but I like to think they were buddies that were killed together... get on it paleoartists :D

mauri87,

@wandering_goliath @TheDinosaurDave I think you're thinking of a cynodont fossil which had some sort of early Triassic reptile or amphibian together in a burrow.

mauri87,

@wandering_goliath @TheDinosaurDave glad you found it! I was looking all over it 👍

Tell me which dinosaur to paint:

mauri87,

@john I know they've been probably done to death, but I always love good dromaeosaur artwork

It's #PterosaurPtuesday, and I've got a new #painting for you: Anurognathus, Portrait of Bug Gobbler.

mauri87,

@john Definitely one of the most unique of pterosaurs

This is an image that reassures those of us who get sad sometimes about all the extinct creatures that we won't get to see alive in all their glory it's a drawing that's saying "shhh it's OK. They live on. Look! Look at the doves!"

In 100,000 years an alien ship enters our solar system. The earth has no remarkable intelligent life, but it's a beautiful biodiverse planet recovering from some bad extinctions. The aliens don't notice the traces left by humanity right away, this is just a survey trip and not much monumental remains.

But, they do pick up a signal, coming not from Earth, but from Mars. "How strange?" they think. Mars is obviously the inferior planet for life. Earth is incredible. But they go to investigate. 1/

mauri87,

@futurebird great story, albeit depressing 😬
