No.

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.

Yes I do. Expired, but still in use.

I can still say s-diphenylcarbazide and N-1 naphthylethylenediaminedihydrochloride without stammering, so i guess my understanding of chemistry is still working.

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.

Er - LFP is an anagram for Lithium Ferro Phosphate, so there is still lithium in the mix.

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?

That's great if you live in Canada.

I'll bet, like the other video, you did not watch more than a single minute or two of the video. The video evidence of the ferocity of an EV battery fire with several vehicles is on display. The chemistry which is the foundation of such intense conflagrations is explained in quite clear terms a layman can understand. ICE's do not generate fires that cannot be extinguished. They also don't generate hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen fluoride from a fuel tank fire. EV's do. EV fires have their own fuel AND oxygen, hence the only viable strategy for firefighters is to let them burn themselves out. That doesn't work too well in an enclosed environment such as a ship, or underground car park. Goethe once said against stupidity the gods themselves strive in vain. It's a statement which proves itself on a daily basis on ASEAN.

This video explains why EV's are a high fire risk. And why ICE's with a higher frequency of car fires are a much lower risk proposition in terms of potential damage. I am wondering when insurance companies are going to realize this risk, and inflate premiums for EV's accordingly. Some of the footage shown in the video makes me wonder how safe EV owners are in their houses, when they are using home chargers. I suggest you watch right through with an open mind.

Yes.

At least you'd be going out with a bang, not a whimper.

Check your charger cable is also a data transfer cable. If so, just select the files on the laptop, copy and paste to the music area of your smartphone. They can also be transferred by WiFi using Bluetooth. My son is smart enough to do that, I am not.

As a first year law student, you should know it takes time to assemble a case for the prosecution. Jack Smith was not appointed special prosecutor until 2022. Your 3 years is incorrect. <removed>

I stopped wearing watches as soon as I had a mobile phone small enough to fit in my pocket. Landlines have gone the way of bustles and buggy whips for most individuals. You may be right, watches don't get calls from scammers. Having said that, a smartphone is a far more versatile and functional device than a watch. I have about 600 books and 1000 music files on my mobile. Calculator, calendar, voice recorder, internet-capable, translator - enough said.

I smile at people I know, or see daily. I don't see a good reason to do it with random strangers.

I am not reliving my youth, nor would I want to. If you gave me the knowledge and experience I have now, and said I could retain it while getting my youth back, that would be a very different story.

It brings back memories of watching them live. They did sight gags and asides not in that video. The "unperforated" aside was just one of them. In the video, Flanders says gin affects his finesse. On stage, the word was prowess.

I like women with no lighting at all, apart from what is provided by nature. A warm woman is mandatory, I prefer trim. There is such a thing as too soft, and too much.

You got 50% on the references. The other is Flanders and Swann,

You are so time-poor you need to do that?

Find a species that eats them.

A few hundred years from now, I'm wondering what they will say about Trumpers. Probably the same as they are saying now about Jim Jones.

Each to his own, I find Oz too stifling. When it gets to the stage of having to travel at 40 km/hr past a parked police car, under penalty of a fine, it's over-regulation. I can ride a scooter and park anywhere I want in Thailand, I'd be committing suicide if I got on a scooter in Oz. One thing my GF did notice in Oz was the complete absence of police checkpoints, compared with Thailand. She kept asking where all the people and houses were, when we drove from Cobar to Broken Hill. I agree Australia has become multi-cultural, and it is evident society is richer for it.

The "first year law student" reference is known as argument ad verecundiam, an appeal to prestige. It's one of the dishonest forms of argument listed by R H Thouless in his book, " Straight and Crooked Thinking". OTOH, Trump uses argument ad hominem ( attack on the person ) as his favorite form of debate. What surprises me is how many people are still persuaded by it.
