The primary exhaust gas of all internal combustion engines is water! You previously said that ethanol exhaust is 100% water. Which is not true and the 15% gasoline in E85 is not enough to change its emissions characteristics to be so similar to E0-E10, catalytic converter or no catalytic converter. If ethanol exhaust was truly all water, going straight to E100 would be a no-brainier and we'd let the cows eat grass since it would be incredibly important to eliminate vehicle emissions by doing something that easy.

The immediate vicinity deserves reactivation and this project is capable of doing it. I was just walking around Wolfe Park on Sunday thinking, "This is such a spectacular part of town." But without businesses that serve the public it can't reach its full potential. Sure the large-format Turkey Hill and Rusty Bag are around but it needs more.

^That's why tons of the new stuff in Seattle just has office at street level. It's actually not a very convenient city to live in if you don't want to order everything off Amazon. It's definitely not NYC.

It probably has something to do with proximity to where the E85 is produced since Columbus suburbs also have quite a few stations. NW Ohio has a lot of stations while Appalachian Ohio has zero.

E85 test results in FFVs: NMHCs will be reduced by 10% (FFV) to 27% (non-FFV). • CO will be reduced by approximately 20%. • NO x will be reduced by 18% (FFV) to more than 50% (non-FFV). • Formaldehyde emissions will increase by approximately 50%. • Acetaldehyde emissions will increase by a multiple of more than 20. • Benzene and 1,3-butadiene emissions will decrease, perhaps in proportion to the amount of gasoline in the mixture; however, this observation is based on results for a small number of vehicles. • Methane emissions will approximately double. • Fuel economy will be adversely affected by approximately 25%. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=11&ved=2ahUKEwjgmsyy3L3mAhXRaM0KH aeKBaAQFjAKegQIBBAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.afdc.energy.gov%2Fpdfs%2Ftechnical_paper_feb09.pdf&usg=AOv Vaw2Ff_n0YV4xRnniZp1fJOE1

"Last Christmas" (1984) received almost no airplay in the U.S. until about 2012-2013. It was big in Europe though.

Then why are the emissions of U.S. corn-based E85 vehicles as measured by studies and practical tailpipe tests so similar to E0-E10?

Correct, E85 cars (ethanol) cars do not need their fuel systems drained because they are running on ethanol, not methanol. Methanol cars need the draining. Methanol is the water vapor emitting fuel, not ethanol. Look at it this way, if ethanol actually only produced water as emissions it would be much more popular worldwide. It would put gasoline out of business almost immediately. Methanol is too difficult and expensive to work with and that's why the fuel hasn't been adopted by the public.

The 2019 Silverado has a controversial look and so does the 2019 Camaro. As noted, 2019 is the last year of the C7 Corvette and the excitement around the 2020 C8 is massive. Challenger and Charger are hurting Camaro and Mustang sales despite their old design. 2019 might not be that good of a year for Chevrolet.

Project Update: Mount Carmel West Development in Franklinton Construction is scheduled to start this spring on 14 single family homes along a one-block stretch of South Hartford Avenue, on land formerly used as a parking lot for Mount Carmel West. At the southern end of the block, on State Street, a four-unit townhome building is planned. The new homes will mark the first new construction on the campus since Mount Carmel Health System announced its plan to relocate the hospital on the site from Franklinton to Grove City. Demolition of the main hospital buildings is ongoing and will continue into the spring or early summer of 2020, according to Mount Carmel officials. Further clearing of the site to ready it for development will likely extend into late summer or fall, at which time work could start on the first new buildings in the central part of the campus. More below: https://www.columbusunderground.com/project-update-mount-carmel-west-bw1 I took some destructoporn shots of the site about 3 weeks ago but it's basically the same stuff already posted here.

You're thinking of the alcohol fuel (methanol) that powered Indy cars from the '60s to the early 2000s and is still popular in drag racing and go-karts. It is not the same as E85 (which is ethanol), is too expensive to power the road fleet and requires full draining of the fuel system after each use lest it attack the aluminum and rubber in the fuel system. It also absorbs water very quickly if not drained from the fuel system. The reason you are flipping out about this is that you didn't know the difference between methanol and ethanol.

St. Clair has really eroded in importance all over, not just in Cincinnati

This is Columbus; learn to embrace the flashcube aesthetic

Is that a curtain wall over an older structure or is that the building?

Don't short anything, people --unless you like gambling. Losses are magnified enormously and can be infinite.

I missed the crumple zones part. Was Tesla actively proclaiming that the truck had no crumple zones?

It was actually Today's Special that put Toronto on the map in the early 1980s

I always see buildings that were painted a long time ago where thin slivers have broken off of the brick.

Ugh this makes me really regret having to miss the UO meetup that took place there earlier this year. Oh well the one girl at work hit on the other girl then they couldn't work together anymore so I had to go in instead of coming to the UO meet.

I bet a lot of it is the Saudis, the Koch Buddies, GM and the oil companies.

It is not just water. Again, some types of emissions are reduced. There is no elimination: Tailpipe emissions result from fuel combustion in a vehicle's engine. Emissions of primary concern include hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), air toxics, and CO2. Numerous studies have compared the emissions of E85 and gasoline. E85 decreases the emissions of CO2, as well as the emissions of many harmful toxics, such as benzene—a known carcinogen. However, it increases acetaldehyde emissions, which the National Institute of Health describes as "reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen" and is moderately reactive for ground level ozone formation. https://afdc.energy.gov/vehicles/flexible_fuel_emissions.html

The main problem I see is that Ohioans aren't used to being allowed to make U-turns -- except people in Middletown.
