The motors have never been the problem, it's always been the battery. See train engines, they are a diesel generator with electric motors.

This is where history pisses me off. We should have been headlong into battery research after the oil embargoes. Could have been 40 years faster.

Long term we'll get lighter batteries.

It's incredible how certain people are conditioned to think the sound of a gas motor and shifting because your puny motor is out of optimal torque and rpm range are manly.

It advanced at a glacier pace because there was no massive driving force. It only kicked off a bit with cell phones and then in any substantial way with laptops. (Yes, batteries existed before that for different things, but there was no massive driving force.) Now imagine what would have happened if we funded it starting in the 1970s.

I think in certain areas for your EV you want a gas powered heater for the battery and cabin. That's how I think EV transit buses should do it too.

Freight trains are diesel electric.

Bit of a guess but I can only think hurts specifically for swimming. The fur is there to insulate when they are on land.

I can't see anything, but I second vinegar.

Apparently the trick to cleaning is to use acids and bases where appropriate. Acid will work here afaik.

‘In the US they think we’re communists!’ The 70,000 workers showing the world another way to earn a living ( www.theguardian.com )

The Basque Country’s Mondragón Corporation is the globe’s largest industrial co-operative, with workers paying for the right to share in its profits – and its losses. In return for giving more to their employer, they expect more back.

someguy3 ,

I think the term they used is best: co-operative

someguy3 ,

Highly illegal, should be an easy win.

There’s a right wing seminar of economics that they invite and “educate” supreme Court justices on how economics works. Well their ideology of economics anyway. Don’t recall if it was a one time thing back then or ongoing but holy cow.

Yup that’s where I learned about this. Thanks for the link.

You could trade for new ones from other worlds. I think other worlds wold be happy to grow some pigs for them, which they can then set up their own breeding program.

someguy3 OP ,

Pretty sure they’d have more luck with other civilizations to get their livestock than hunt them.

someguy3 ,

Whenever I see stuff with US cops they are massive. No way that’s all natural.

But that doesn’t immediately translate to anything else.

someguy3 ,

Did not expect that.

someguy3 ,

Buh?

someguy3 ,

bottom line is that Prodigy Season 1 will now air on Netflix and Season 2 will hit in 2024.

someguy3 ,

The rideshare drivers told FOX 5 Atlanta they’re fed up with unfair wages from the companies they work for.

someguy3 ,

Star Trek Catan. Gonna be playing that on the holidays.

someguy3 ,

That last bit he’s just confusing keeping your eyes open and ears to the ground with interviewing. (Hopefully it’s someone at his company and essentially a succession plan, in such case yeah the dude probably knows.)

someguy3 ,

Anyone remember “abandon thread” memes?

someguy3 ,

not the very, very nazi looking red-white-bla

Fascinating, I never would have thought a Klingon flag was Nazi.

someguy3 ,

So you’re disturbed that Janeway knew about everything before they even left for the Badlands?

someguy3 ,

Only 10 were built? Huh.

someguy3 OP ,

He got a lot in Voyager.

someguy3 OP ,

I’ll edit the title.

someguy3 ,

It’s an old school crib in case anyone’s wondering.

Ok retirement used to be the last 5-10 years of your life - retire at 65, average life expectancy was 70 to 75. As average life expectancy goes up, it’s now closing in at 20 years - retire at 65, live to 83 which I think is new life expectancy.

It really shouldn’t surprise anyone we can’t maintain this. It was only doable for that brief period of cheap energy. (And yes, we should tax the rich in case anyone doubts my sentiments.)
