Karamū fruit is edible, I used to pick and eat the berries while waiting for the school bus as a kid.

You’d probably like Prodeus, it’s certainly scratched that itch for me.
How isn’t it relevant? Large animals like whales make up a disproportionate amount of ‘wild animal’ biomass. But rats, mice etc will make up a sizeable proportion too while being human centric pests in much of the world.
4% is actually worse than it looks.
Presumably subway rats and other vermin count as wild?
These ones? You just weave through them.
How does a wheelchair or mobility scooter get through there?
I have a nasty feeling it’s going to be like Halo without Marty O’Donnell - bland music that is completely and utterly forgettable.
The old version of EM6 was so much better :(
The short version is: Because people are making and buying the batteries. Hydrogen has failed to scale.
They’ve been ripping hydrogen stations out in the UK, Norway, California. Hydrogen may as well be Betamax or HD-DVD at this point.
Edit: I’ll be quite happy if I’m wrong. I would love to see more widespread decarbonisation assuming the hydrogen wasn’t blue.
It’s why I don’t see ammonia being used outside of shipping.
Scale won’t get to fix FCEV light vehicle transport because is simply chicken and egg.
Unless governments pump billions into hydrogen infrastructure there’s simply no financial return for any investors. And why should governments do that when BEVs are already solving the decarbonisation issue?
Battery technologies like Lithium Iron Phosphate and Sodium Ion are here and solve the material issues. And once the materials are mined they enter a circular economy.
Fast forward 30 years and most new car batteries will be made from old ones.
Hydrogen has its own problems with rare metals like platinum and palladium.
Even setting aside the energy loss, the cost of compression, chilling, storage etc is much more expensive than both fossil and ev charging infrastructure. Scale will help but it’s simply not there.
I can see a future in aviation for fuel cells but for shipping I think it far more likely we’ll see something like ammonia fuel cells taking centre stage. It’s vastly more easy to transport and a leak at sea isn’t as big a deal.
Light passenger vehicles? Never going to happen. It arrived 20 years too late.
It’ll never be cost effective compared to pure electric. It’s simply far less efficient so the energy costs will remain higher.
It happily uses epub and not proprietary formats.
The only downside to my Kobo is Amazon’s walled garden exclusive books being unavailable.
I work at a company with unlimited sick leave and it’s an absolute godsend for those who need it. Literally no one I know who works there takes the piss. In fact with working from home being a thing most wouldn’t take more than 5 or so actual sick days per year.
But I’ve also seen someone take months of paid sick leave when their child with cancer was getting treatment. It was never questioned, and it gave me enormous respect for the place.
Amazon and AppleTV+ make up the bulk of my viewing. It’s been a while since I’ve watched anything on Disney+ or Netflix so they’re first on the chopping block.
I wish you could pay to watch these launches in person.
Oh not their phones. Their $1799 14” MacBook Pro.
Phones are coming with 12GB and Apple are still only putting 8Gb in their ‘pro’ line.

One of the benefits of excise tax is it rewards lower polluting vehicles with fewer fees.
However they end up doing it (emissions tax, tiered RUC?), I hope this incentive remains. But considering that’d essentially be a ‘ute tax’ on running costs I can’t see this government doing it.
The fruit to seed ratio is pretty rubbish, but they taste nice. Worth a go.
