The carbon footprint of EVs and their growing sales require huge increases of electric power consumption,
The only way those demands can be met is by oil/coal
Nothing like driving your EV in an endless desert with your electric heat turned to MAX

All sorts of #toxic materials are released into the #atmosphere when buildings and their contents #burn. It's why one sees urban #firefighters donning breathing apparatus. #Wildlands adjacent to the Los Angeles basin also contain #mercury and #lead in #soil and litter layers, deposited over many years from #air #pollution generated by vehicles and industries. #Wildfires often emit these heavy metals.

In general, I try to keep my Kpop comments on the positive side, as negativity can be be needlessly upsetting for some and just tiresome for others.
However, today is one of those days where I have to get something off my chest. I was so disappointed by "Burn". Is this really a version of the Loona track that has supposedly been sitting unreleased since 2019? It sounds like a so so B side to me. Maybe possibly it will grow on me - I do like the funky instrumental - but I feel I'm grasping at straws here.
All I will say about the outfits is that I find them hideous.
As a Kpop fan, it can be difficult to reconcile one's love for a group with critical honesty.
"Over 50 years ago, NASA was able to get its Saturn V, a rocket nearly as large as Starship, to fly without ever having a failed launch over its 13-launch, six-year operational lifespan. This was a rocket designed with computers less powerful than a Casio watch, built with far less accurate techniques and materials, with check systems and procedures infinitely less sophisticated than anything today. Yet, engineers were able to ensure it never had a launch failure, even during testing.
"Technologically speaking, the Saturn V was a caveman rocket, yet it was infinitely more useful and reliable than the high-tech Starship."

Sometimes when I'm bored I set fire to things. I also photograph it, which is what makes it a hobby.

In my younger days in the early 80s I was a warehouse worker. It was pretty unusual for women at the time and upset quite a few of the men. One told me angrily that I was taking a job away from a man who needed to put food on the table. I told him that technically I was taking away the jobs of two men since I did twice as much work. #Burn
