  1. And grid use doubles at night with everyone charging their cars after work? I think EVs are great, particularly for a retired guy living in the sticks that chargers during the day, but thinking they are a the be-all-end-all is a little silly.
  2. And batteries at night? And a condo building with 500 units and 400 m^2 of roof? You guys crack me up.
  3. A bad joke indeed, but hopefully a wakeup call.
  4. That you have talked about the "evidence" is irrefutable. But the evidence you have talked about is not irrefutable.
  5. Had the IDF raped his wife and daughter and lit them on fire while he watched, and then cut his head off, then nothing of what led up to it would mater. Being rammed intentionally repeatedly by someone in a wheelchair gets old pretty quick. In any event, I thought it was a genocide, why did the not just kill everyone?
  6. Saw "The Marvels" this morning. I was not expecting much but was still disappointed. I thought the story was lame, the acting was pedestrian, the music meh and the dialog painful. One would expect that effects would be the one thing that would be great, but no. Action-packed snooze-a-thon.
  7. I think it's true everywhere in the US, but you can always just give them a phony name. Worked for me for the twenty years after I left home until I got a job with heath insurance. Great insurance that was not so great after the ACA.
  8. A perfect example of "stage one thinking".
  9. I am not arguing they are not, only that they would still exist without them. Subsidies are just social engineering. I am against subsidies for most everything, not just EVs. Are you claiming there would be significantly less air pollution if ICEVs were banned?
  10. That's what I thought, pretty weak, even for you.
  11. Why is there no western press in Gaza?
  12. So 4,104 dead kids leave about two million Palestinian kids, yes? Not much of a genocide, at that rate it will take over forty years to complete.
  13. I'll except it
  14. What might the justification be for such an act?
  15. If you're solders, on foot, attempting to find tunnels full of terrorists, what should you do when someone is continuously interferes and is trying to stop you from doing what you are there to do? And at the same time, the interference is endangering you and everyone else.
  16. And the clip starts with the wheelchair being tipped on its back, nothing of what lead up to it.
  17. Another bold-faced lie. Yes, attempting to have a truthful discussion with "intellectuals" is challenging. I would provide example but you'd make the silly argument that the road leading to the private art-galleries, universities and museums is a subsidy or some-such, but the same argument can be made for everything. Nothing would exist without government subsidies, correct?
  18. What, you? Sarcastic? Come on!
  19. “Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but the highest form of intelligence,” Oscar Wilde. The Surprising Benefits of Sarcasm - Scientific American
  20. No, you were simply telling a lie. Why would we have no art galleries, universities or museums but for governments?
  21. If the Federal government (using taxpayer money) decided to buy a drug from a particular pharmaceutical company and gives it out free, what incentive is there for a competing company to develop a better drug? If the government is giving away free Fords, what happens to Chevy? Incidentally, the idea that the obesity epidemic is going to be solved with a new weight loss drug may be a bit naive. The US has nothing close to "free market" health care. The only areas of medicine that are somewhat "free market" are elective surgeries and procedures, and in these areas, the quality is arguably the best in the world, and the cost are very competitive. I did not see an article in your post, but it would add noting to the discussion either way.
  22. Are being sarcastic or have you been that deeply indoctrinated?
