Blue areas aren’t states. They are cities. Democratic voting counties account for over 70% of the nations gdp. Conservative counties quite literally cannot support themselves.

But they can feed themselves.

> Start-stop systems help, but a lot of people disable them.
I haven’t seen a modern car that let’s you actually disable this versus turn it off for the current ride only, fwiw.
I was able to completely disable it in a new Ford vehicle with an OBD2 cable and since software on my laptop that can modify PCM values

>every single laptop on the market that's below 100W should just use USB-C for charging.
Not just laptops, but electronics.
Recently I had to replace the crappy default PSU for my Synology NAS. It only uses 18W at peak during Read usage with 2HDD. Why do I need a specific power supply for that?
Most Router only uses 20W. TV Set Top Box / Recorder. Active Speakers. Electronic Shavers Battery Powered Small Drills or Kitchen Wares.
I have to search for that specific charger every time,
USB-C is overkill for just being a dumb power connector. I can buy average barrel-jacked PSUs for cheaper than a single USB-C PD cable! and then you have you pay for all the expensive USB PD components on the product as well just to support it.
Put appropriate limiters in the vehicles, with a button to disengage all the limits that also notifies the police that you have done so, so that they can decide whether they need to come help, whether (as they later review the case) there was appropriate cause, &c.
"appropriate cause" sounds ripe for abuse. Cops will be able to disable this "feature" in their personal cars, naturally. without consequence.
so you fear harmful microparticles, so instead you suggest something normal, like

eh?? isn't teflon that scary(tm) substance you must never scratch off your pan or you'll poison yourself?
how's that any better than zirconium?
