ICE vs EV, the debate thread
Exactly. An open air demonstration with maximum access, no information on the level of charge in the battery, and firefighters equipped with full breathing apparatus. Not likely to be practical in an enclosed and crowded environment. It's called cherry-picking.

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
IIRC, your first response to a post of mine was a single word. "Nonsense". You've changed your tune somewhat as you understood some inconvenient truths. I call it as I see it. Tell me why I should suffer fools gladly.

BARD: “EMPOWERING BOON” for ‘OLDSTERS’, Helps Geezers Reach TRUE Potential!
Books, the internet ( Wikipedia ) and asking people who I know it is worth my while to ask.

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
This has to be the dumbest comment I have seen posted on this thread. Fire blankets will do absolutely nothing in a fire where the source is supplying its own fuel and oxygen. it's like saying a thermic lance, which can burn through a foot of concrete like a hot knife through butter, can be similarly restrained. AFAIK personnel engaged in fighting EV fires are instructed to stay well away upwind, due to toxic gases such as hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen fluoride. Nothing in their extinguishing armory will fight an EV fire, so they let the fire burn itself out. If the poster still has me on ignore, I regard it as a badge of honor.

I enjoy searching out information for myself. I don't think i'd enjoy having it spoon-fed to me, as if I am a mewling infant.

Gallup poll finds most Americans give Biden administration a negative ethics score
Who did Gallup poll? Republicans?

BARD: “EMPOWERING BOON” for ‘OLDSTERS’, Helps Geezers Reach TRUE Potential!
I usually work things out for myself, maybe some help from Wikipedia. Both my mother and father died in full possession of their faculties, IMO genes are on my side. I regard mental exercise as important as physical exercise, perhaps BARD might make me lazy.

Are people better now or back in the 1980s
- Are people better now or back in the 1980s
Perhaps the humor was too laid-back and dry for you. Everyone's taste is different. We come from different generations. My father loved Roy Rene Mo, whom you may not have heard of. I agree Paul Hogan was funny, Steve Vizard did not tickle my funny bone. Seinfeld is as funny as crutches, humor with a sneer. The drummer can't have been all that funny if you can't remember his name.- Are people better now or back in the 1980s
Agree. "Malcolm" and "Kenny" are two of the funniest Australian films ever made. On the odd occasion I have shown a video of them to Americans or Canadians, they are quite incapable of understanding the humor. They usually sit with their mouths open.- Starting a youtube channel
6 here is 8 in Oz.- Starting a youtube channel
Whether it works depends on how good the presentation is, and how many views and subscribers you get. IMO that's the measure of success. Over the last two years, I made several series of videos I posted on Youtube. About 30 on golf, 8 on kitchen/food tips, 6 on elderly health issues and fixes. The equipment was very basic, a 200 baht tripod bought on Lazada, and my elderly smartphone for video and voiceover recording. I used free online editing software to edit the videos, and GNU image manipulation for photo labelling. I have 280 subscribers, which is a piddling amount in the YouTube environment. My success with viewers was varied. I maxed out at about 35 viewers with the elderly health series, perhaps the topic is too confronting. OTOH, I got 32,000 viewers on a video I made of one professional golfer. YouTube won't start commercializing a video unless the channel is producing a much bigger list of subscribers and audience. I started making the videos as a creative exercise to ward off boredom during the pandemic, and did not expect to make money. I taught myself how to do video compilation and editing. I suggest you start with the same expectation, and not spend too much on equipment. You never know what is going to click with viewers on Youtube. There is one guy on Youtube called Mr. Beast, who has 50 million viewers. His shtick is outlandish challenges, such as fighting The Rock for $100,000. Park your brain cells at the door when watching. Good luck.- ICE vs EV, the debate thread
Now you are posting like a reasonable person. Stay well.- Condo vs apartment
I already said I was wrong, based on the post by msbkk.- ICE vs EV, the debate thread
You prefer the universe of alternative facts? I have no problem with acknowledging the virtues of EV's, it's virtue-signalling morons, who won't admit the unresolved problems EV's have, who irritate me with their irrational posts. Here's an inconvenient truth for you. If you converted the entire passenger car and pickup fleet of Australia to EV's overnight, you would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by a mere 8%. Why? Because most of the electricity recharging those EV's would be coming from fossil-fuel power stations.- Leaving after 92 days - online 90d-report "pending"
Given the 7 day grace period, and the fact your report is pending with Immigration, IMO the probability of having problems with your extension is vanishingly small.- ICE vs EV, the debate thread
You may be right if the grease has molybdenum sulphide as an additive, as it has poor water resistance and becomes corrosive in combination with water. OTOH, lithium stearate based grease has excellent water resistance, Either grease is like a magnet to any dirt, coarse or fine. I put people on ignore when they are annoying trolls who post dishonestly. I don't if they argue with facts.- ICE vs EV, the debate thread
No.- ICE vs EV, the debate thread
That' what snorkels are for, to prevent hydrostatic locking if water gets into the combustion chambers. Putting a snorkel on an EV would be like putting an ashtray on a Harley. The bearings were not affected by water, it's the suspended solids ( mud ) in the water which does the damage.- ICE vs EV, the debate thread
Yes I do. Expired, but still in use.- ICE vs EV, the debate thread
I can still say s-diphenylcarbazide and N-1 naphthylethylenediaminedihydrochloride without stammering, so i guess my understanding of chemistry is still working.- ICE vs EV, the debate thread
I can't say I have driven one, just an electric scooter. Which was fun. Ignorance is when a poster refuses to accept basic science and clear visual evidence of how that science works. Shooting the messenger is so much easier.- ICE vs EV, the debate thread
Er - LFP is an anagram for Lithium Ferro Phosphate, so there is still lithium in the mix.- ICE vs EV, the debate thread
ICE's don't have an IP rating. They don't need them. Who ever heard of an ICE catching fire after driving through water?- ICE vs EV, the debate thread
That's great if you live in Canada. - Are people better now or back in the 1980s
