I’d argue the ocean isn’t hot yet, just warmer than before. But when it does get hot, the Caribbean, Florida, and surrounding states are going to be pummelled like Billy Po in prison.

My prediction is that we have between 10-15 years before Climate Trauma is the term we use.

My first job was a gas station attendant. I did all that plus checked power steering fluid and topped up washer fluid. It was my first enterprise: I bought a bottle of Dextron from the station for $3 then topped up the steering reservoir for $1 cash - which I kept. Got about 10 top ups per bottle!

As a Canadian, we’re wondering how long before the contagion takes hold here. We’re already seeing it with the rise of a right-wing candidate for PM. Slowly cleaning the house, donating things, slimming down for a quick departure if needed. Not the Canada I grew up in, that’s for sure. 😞

They are! Once these massive centre-console units break, it’s almost impossible to use the car. Replacement can be $5,000 +

I drive a 1985 car and love it for the sheer simplicity and lack of electronics to break down. Fix much of it myself with a few basic tools.

Yeah I took CS at uni for a few years and can still code basic stuff. But I use Chat GPT to handle all my PHP code and it does a fine job while I sip coffee and test it on a live site.

That American car companies are absolutely losing their tiny minds over a Chinese company selling a normal-sized and somewhat affordable EV is such a perfect illustration of how profoundly broken they all are, only able to build and sell expensive wankpanzers
