Don't worry, the investigation they did into Gaetz came up finding all the evidence they needed to say he was guilty of statutory rape, illegal drug usage, and paying prostitutes. He's getting prosecuted now right? Guess not
It was a drunken post on New Year's Eve... If I know anything in life it's that alcohol does not make sound choices lol. I suppose I'm just glad I didn't text an ex. Motivation not to drink as much haha
The CO becomes CO2 in the atmosphere as well eventually. I understand what you mean, which is why I was going to originally delete the post, but some people said leave it, so I did. Really it is just saying if exhaust is so obviously known to be bad in one situation, why is it so hard to understand that it can be bad in other ways. (Trapping in heat really)
Isn't the main purpose of the catalytic converter to minimize the CO (and other chemicals) being exhausted? Those illegal to take off vehicles things on every car....
It is supposed to be CO2 and water though that comes out of it.. but it doesn't work out so clean as the air going in isn't just oxygen
So how much carbon monoxide turning into CO2 and building up in the atmosphere and causing the earths temperature to slowly rise and threaten the ecosystems of the majority of earth does the FDA define as okay?
True, Not sure if the eSprinter has seating options, but I assume that would be the closest thing right now to your 15 seater if so. But I've never known anyone who needed to seat 15 people that wasn't for an event that would be associated with a company anyways. So the company or rental agency would just register the vehicle paying additional taxes on it to compensate for the "extra" wear and tear on roads and tires.
The weight thing is tough. But you don't need a 1 ton pickup for much anymore, hell the electic mini pulled the space shuttle years ago. So towing/torque isn't the issue. It's just for putting things in the bed, which most trucks I see are jacked up higher than anyone is lifting a fridge into, or washer/dryer. No one wants to stack cement or soil bags in those things. My point was to disinsentivize vehicles that cause more harm but are just being used for fun.
An example may be farm tax. We already have farm tags as well for vehicles. So what's to say you don't make trade exceptions for registration fees. Work on a farm and get a farm tag, it's exempt? Add a constructuon site one.
I know someone who got a new truck recently. They said they get 14 miles a gallon. They tore their rotator cuff a few years back and have a bad back. Had issues driving his lawn mower around due to the steering wheel. So there is 0 objects that he can lift into the bed of the truck that wouldn't fit in any other vehicle. It weighs a shit ton without being an EV and is tall enough that it guarantees that any pedestrian hit would be dead on impact.
A car that gets 45 mpg would be so much better for us long term. Let them scream I'll never get an electric car as much as they want, but at least it reduces their CO2 emissions to a third and burn through less tires and roads.
Helps give the rest of the population time to get ready for the future
Yeah, unfortunately my work is 52ish miles away. So with charge times on a standard 110 I'm stuck in the need a bit more category. I figure at 250 miles id be able to charge it on a 110 and if I ever have other trips to make it wouldn't be an issue. But with your policy of matching EV to ice productlines I imagine most manufacturers wouldn't want to intentionally sabotage a product they are already having to make, so I'm sure they would make something that fit people stuck in long driving situations like mine.
Nah I was on board with that part, I was just curious why you limited it to 100 miles so I inquired. Why not say range that equals or better than the ICE equivalent at the same price? As it shouldn't be a problem. (Although after thinking about it, 250 would probably be better for weight reasons. 600 mile batteries would be a bit large currently.
Yeah, most here would hate that Dickens used the term to mean distrub a function as well. To poisons ones sleep didn't mean to kill him, just to do something that interferes with an ongoing task. It's just a word. I didn't define it 🤷
What's the 100 miles part of it? Do you mean the range only being 100 miles? We will likely have much higher than that, some are scheduled to be 5-600 miles. Really I'd settle for 250 miles.
The Telos Truck is being designed to be able to fit up to 8 people, a configuration for a 4x8' sheet of plywood, or a 5ft standard bed with 4 doors, and is set for 350 miles.
It's the length of a mini Cooper, and acquired taste for looks, but it's kind of neat. 0-60 in 4 seconds and priced at 50k. < I think to expensive, but that's cheaper than Chevy trailblazer here.
Honestly I think it's terrible that we think it's perfectly normal and okay for cops to physically force someone to the ground with no mention of resistance.
"Keep your hands where I can see them and I'm going to cuff you while I search your pockets."
"Please get in the back of the car" while lightly holding the inside of someone's elbow should be all that is needed after checking their person for any weapons.
The only savior would be if the courts were still legitimate.... Which means we are screwed.
