Attraction isn’t really exclusively based on sex, though. It’s about a whole range of factors, including how someone presents their personality and their physical traits. Many trans women have a lot of traits people find attractive in women generally, so being attracted to a trans woman is consistent with heterosexual attraction.

This means that liking trans women doesn’t automatically mean you’re attracted to men, so calling it gay is an oversimplification of how attraction works.

You could argue that in a strictly biological sense it is homosexual, but that ignores a whole range of social factors, which isn’t really how the term “gay” is colloquially used.

Not necessarily, it can mean disabling aircon, driving the lower speed limit, taking a flatter route, etc

It’s not always about quality or performance, you want cars to be comfortable too, which is why you have to make tradeoffs. One thing hypermilers sometimes do is taping the seams on the hood, door, etc to improve aerodynamics. You could make a car from factory without seams in the body, but you won’t sell very many unless you can convince people to crawl in through a window.

Other things may be prohibitively expensive, or not durable, so you make tradeoffs. As efficient as possible while staying within the chosen price class and providing a certain standard of comfort.

There’s a few diesel cars that can reach that distance on one tank (though it requires hypermiling)

I agree it’s safer to let them pass, but a medical (or personal) emergency does not give you the right to endanger other people on the road by driving fast and/or recklessly. That’s why they paint priority vehicles in bright colours and put flashing lights on them - to make it safer for everyone.

If you have a medical emergency, you call an ambulance. Yes, they will have to drive to you first, but care starts when they arrive. If the emergency isn’t big enough to get an ambulance, there’s no reason to drive fast either.

Renewables needing expensive storage isn’t an opinion either.

We all want a clean, efficient, and reliable power grid. Renewables should be a big part, and I’d prefer not having a bunch of hydrocarbons being burned whenever renewables don’t even cover the base load.

Nuclear is subsidized? I think you’ve got that backwards. Renewables are HEAVILY subsidized in many places (rightfully so), nuclear isn’t.

Nuclear would be, in fact, the cheapest form of generation if you factor in storage which is a requirement for a functional grid based on renewables, and aforementioned regulatory handicaps weren’t in place.

A grid based on nuclear for the base load (the always-on stuff like various industries) + renewables is a far better solution than dragging on fossil fuels for longer and longer, or trying to make 100% renewables work with gigantic amounts of expensive storage.
