A generic profile account just said cost of goods goes up because trucks pay more for gas. True.
But an effective rail+plus trucking system (known as intermodal) is less than half the cost of trucking alone.
Add the use of EV semis and it gets even better.

Sulwe was born on Christmas Day to ex-orphan Sonje and a besotted bull named Osama. Now she's growing wild in the same Umani forest where her mum's "honeymoon" played out.
The full story is worth a read.

An anatomical drawing of a cross-section of a man's head. The eyeball has been replaced by an RSS logo. To the left of the face is a "code waterfall" effect as seen in the credit sequences of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movie. To the right are clouds of grey roiling clouds, infiltrating the brain as well.
Never let them tell you that enshittification was a mystery. Enshittification isn't downstream of the "iron laws of economics" or an unrealistic demand by "consumers" to get stuff for free.

The nuclear block is good, actually. Itβs why Bluesky is my favorite modern social site, much more so than even Twitter at its best.
Two scientists walk through a cluttered old-fashioned science laboratory. The female scientist says βAnalogue instruments! Paper records! Chalk boards! I thought you'd agreed to modernise the laboratory?β The male scientist replies βThat's what i'm so excited about: we have moved to cloud-based storage for our data!β They step out onto a balcony. She says: βPlease tell me you haven't built a library zeppelinβ This is exactly what he has done. It floats across the sky and he adds βIt's got a fax machine!β

I was at London Zoo years ago and the vicuna made a noise at me. Feeling clever, I repeated it back; it said the same thing, so I said again. Then it spat me right in the eyes.* It was saying βYou lookinβ at me?β and I was unwittingly saying that back.
* An unnoticed sign said βthis animal spitsβ.

We'd been bracing for a difficult season after poor rains. Then the heavens opened β waterpans filled, rivers flowed, and wildlife spread across an unlocked landscape.
When the rains fail, our work doesn't stop. 52 boreholes and nine water bowsers keep Tsavo alive: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/n...

A wolf skull with green moss, ferns, morels, prince agaricus and blue oyster mushrooms growing on it and through it. There is a red flame above the skull. In the middle of the forehead is a sun with colors of the rainbow in concentric circles. The rays are yellow and orange.

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
Alabama is set to execute Sonny Burton on March 12, even though he never killed anyone and the state admits that.
Sonny has stayed on death row for 33 years while his health deteriorates. Governor Ivey must commute his sentence.
