The question is, how many potholes do they usually fill in a day? For all we know they fill 8000 potholes every spring, but just don’t advertise it. That being said, letting the people know what you do for them is important.

Maybe I don’t know enough about electricity at large scale, but at small scale you can just cut the circuit. Electricity isn’t like water that just sits in the pipe when you close a valve, right?

Apparently you can do something similar with sand if you live in a desert.

You can’t go in and give 100% every day. You will burn out. Give 70% regularly. Only give 100% when shit really hits the fan. People will think you are a miracle worker.

Sounds like a great way to fake your death. The only problem is that everyone will think you died driving a Tesla.

All I am saying is that if the person you are with drops dead, you should be able to take care of yourself. That’s just sensible.

It’s less about trusting no one and more about recognizing that something could happen to the person you are with, like a medical emergency for example, and that you should be able to survive on your own. Say you are hiking with someone and they fall and break their leg. Do you both just lay there and die? You need to be able to get yourself back to safety and to get help.

When you get on a plane, they do a whole safety announcement, pointing out the exits. Trains and busses have legally mandated labeling for exits. You are well informed how to get out on your own.

I don’t care who you are, you should never go to a place with someone that you are not capable of leaving alone.

Well, they are now two feet tall and radioactive. Whether that is considered harm is up to debate.

Alongside the announcement of Noem’s ouster,

Yay!

the president said he would tap Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., to be her replacement

Boo!

The only ones that want us to believe that are the fascists. If they can keep us fighting each other, we won’t be able to fight them.

There is no left or right anymore. There are only fascists and antifascists.

I’m obviously no expert, but it is the people who are of value, not the land. I see evacuation as the most straightforward way to avoid loss of life or the enslavement of a free people. Taiwan has been useful, but it’s not like we don’t have military bases near enough in the Philippines and Okinawa. Taking the Taiwanese people permanently out of the reach of CCP dominance would be the biggest blow we could land against China.

I was kinda assuming it was a voluntary thing. Like the people are Taiwan, not the land.

Alabama isn’t THAT bad.

Give the Taiwanese people Alabama and move them there. Then give China an empty island

Then there is the BMW i3 which is fully electric with an optional “range extender” which is basically just a gas generator that charges the battery while you drive.

Until now it has been claimed by manufacturers that the vehicles used only a little or almost no fuel when in the electric mode.

I have a PHEV and the gas engine shuts off completely when in electric mode. I don’t see how it could be using gas when it’s not running. Are they confusing the hybrid mode with electric mode?
