He also posted a photo of the road. It's 2 lanes of chaotic traffic in each direction, no sidewalk. You can't walk there, you'll get hit by something sooner or later. It supposedly also gets up to 44C (of course on an asphalt road the air temp might be higher than that). I choose to believe that because apparently the temperature record in New Delhi is over 50C.

Unfortunately fuel being burned in other countries is still heating up their environment.

Also idk if you've heard, but India isn't exactly a rich place. A lot of people can't afford EVs. Despite the fact that yes, the Indian market has cheap options available. But my man in the tweet has been nursing a Hyundai i10 for 15 years. He ain't exactly trying to spend money on cars.

The entire policy is designed to hurt poor people that are car dependent (if you look at the photo of the street in his other tweet, you'll see why he isn't walking the 1 kilometer. There's no sidewalk).

If the government also gave him a good public transit option with AC, the fuel ban could easily be justified. As it is now, rich people will buy newer cars and poor people will be criminals, or take on debt they can't afford to get buy newer cars.

Honestly if he's done 65000 km in 15 years it may well be that he only uses it to drive routes where you literally can't walk, like this one.

Magnets. Electric motors tend to use permanent magnets.

Stepson. Not a born royal, nor one that the royal family accepts as one of their own. Nobody seems to like him.

That's more like it. In Estonian we call it "hapukurk" or "sour cucumber" which implies fermented too. You can have all kinds of different flavours too. I've never made them myself (yet) but my mom usually adds garlic cloves, blackcurrant leaves and dill, all from her garden of course. It's delicious.

So what would you consider spicy now?

Uh... Whatever you say, that's not really a thing this side of the ocean. We use a lot of different things in pickles - never have I seen anyone use HFCS. Not even in store bought pickles.

I tried Fanta in the US and it was disgusting compared to the European version. If the corn syrup is what causes that and they also put it in pickles where you come from, I understand why you might prefer the salt type. But I assure you, even store bought vinegar pickles are way superior to salt pickles here.

You've never had the good stuff then. Salt brine based is boring.

Remember how corporations are people? Well, bots can be human if you pay enough.
