That was always the big joke. People stopped buying sedans and bought a truck or SUV. The Ford F150 was their best selling vehicle year after year for decades. Some trucks are closer to a land yacht or motor home. Big 4 door cab with at least a 4X8 bed. Just stow the mini bike behind the back seat. Then the EPA also killed off the 1/4 ton truck. Like the Chevy S10, the smaller Toyota pickups.

IMHO, Aint no way we're going to go EVs like they want. Not enough resources, not nearly enough electric or electric infrastructure to support it.

Democrats are buying Miami properties like it's going out of style. They're in no hurry to divest. That should tell you something. That along with changing historical data such as the 1930s so it isn't as hot as it actually was. We know this for sure and there's no denying it because of Hansen's face slap when he tried to lie and claim the 1990s was the hottest decade of the 1900s. It was the 1930s and he was called out on it. He tried to save the lie by saying it was a Y2K bug, even with no Y2K data in the data set. So it seems clear it was a bald-faced lie. He's one of their so-called top authorities on this. Look at the data today. It doesn't look like it did in 2001. Changing data is a sure sign you're being lied to. Then there is the intense pressure to show nothing in science other than man made global warming. You can't get a grant to show it isn't. So there is no credible science in global warming and a "consensus" is not science.

Things are warming up. We have old settlements that were around before the little ice age coming out of ice. So we're going back to where we used to be. Maybe they can grow grapes in England like they used to in Roman times.

realclimatescience.com has a lot on this.

Then there is the whole Ansel Adams and his pictures. He used to say the real magic happened in the darkroom.

I get e-mails from them and the stuff it's sending to me is 2, 3, sometimes 5 years old. They want me to look at and respond to a 5 year old post? How absurd.

Looking around I don't see anything useful. No post is less than a week old that it's showing me. Maybe they should change the top page to show an old ghost town. An occasional tumbleweed blows across the screen.

It's a fact that the 1930s was the hottest decade of the 1900s. This was pounded out when Jim Hansen claimed the 1990s was the hottest. He was soundly shot down because they didn't have the propaganda machine in place like they do now. He claimed he made a Y2K error and that's why it seems he lied about the 1990s being the hottest. Never mind he had no post Y2K data to make a mistake with. It seems very clear that he lied. Now they've gone back and changed the 1930s data so it doesn't look as hot as it was. Jim's bashing is still out there, so it's still a fact and that's also backed up with newspapers to prove it. Changing data is a surefire way to prove someone is lying. It also proves CO2 is not the cause. We had steadily more CO2 from the 1930s on and the fact the 19030s was the hottest proves it's not CO2 doing it. The scientific method. One counter example disproves the theory. You must move on. Other things like water vapor, methane, and life is doing it. We're discovering settlements in Greenland that were buried under the ice for about 700 years proving that we're going back to where we were. If they can grow grapes in England like they used to, we'll be back to where we were.

Someone will figure a way around it. All roads - speed limit 250 MPH.
It'll probably take care of the young stupid thugs. Car jackers.

In the law there is a provision to disable it by the dealer or other authorized person. I'm sure that'll leak out unless they do it by certificate. You know, In God we trust. Everyone else get a X.509 certificate.

They extract oil tankers worth of money from the Government and companies. I can tell you that in the 1990s the budget for IBM for just the software was 30 million for a well known agency per month. They didn't sell their software, you had to lease it for their mainframes. Oracle is that on steroids. I saw what one agency under the department of commerce spent and I was floored.

If you're not going to use Oracle, then what? They bought I think everyone else out there. Unless you're using MySQL in one way or another I have a feeling you're writing Oracle a check. If not now, it will be soon when they're bought out.

In years gone by the Government would be looking into anti-trust and monopoly lawsuits. This administration it seems like they couldn't care less.

I was very good friends with a couple of medical students that became medical doctors. One of them ran Johns Hopkins kidney section. When he was a student they both told me that every cadaver that they cut into over the age of 50 had prostate cancer. It may have been very small. However, under a microscope it was there. Many men have this and it's fine. It doesn't kill them. I have a relative that is in his 80s and this just came up. His PSA is 8. Yet they claimed he has it. Operate or not? He has so many other problems he opted for the come back in 1 year option and see where it is then.

I thought that since they had a 100% rate of cancer with cadavers that died of something else there has to be something to it. It's normal. Seems like science is coming to that same conclusion.

LOL. Bill Gates joke? She chose MicroSoft..
I know, a bit juvenile... still funny.

Yet not convicted of anything. Russian collusion was fake. Those accusing him of rape were shown to be liars. If he were a criminal there's no doubt they'd have him. In fact, Mueller's team couldn't believe it. Taxes, and everything they looked into turned out to be fine.

The ones accusing him are people that went to Washington with nothing and somehow are now very rich. They didn't make it on their salary. Think about that. Trump went to Washington and lost Billions trying to save the country. Liars can lie very well. Accuse the other guy of doing exactly what they're doing.

Trump is a racist. Really? Who called young black men super predators - that was Hillary. When they passed the Jim Crowe crime act of 1993. The law that has put so many black men in jail for a long time. Don't believe me, look it up. So many people believe the lies from the left.

You are confused. That's not capitalism. That's Harvard MBA mentality at work. Destroy everything, aka Communism.
Capitalism made them what they were. The very best in the world.

Some providers are ipv6 hostile. I have a dynamic address for ipv4 though it stays very stable over the past 20 years. Once in a great while it changes. I run ipv6 through a RHEL firewall. Going out seems ok. If I try to go in it seems like the next day they change my ipv6 lease. I have to go and make sure all the internal names are updated in DNS. Then a week or so later, they'll change it back to where it was. I could get a static address - at substantial extra charge. They'll also whack my router and I'll lose e-mail until they reset it again. They are so difficult to deal with. When I talk about ipv6 I can see even through the phone their eyes glazing over. Eye Pee Vee what? Huh? What? We don't support that. Yes, you do.

Seems like for us folks that know what we're doing we should be able to fix things ourselves instead of having to call up (idiot) support that swears to God that they don't allow e-mail in until you finally get the person that passes you to the right folks and they fix it. What a big waste of time.

I've been running ipv6 for about 10 years.

Those signs are easy to hack. Default password.
On the way home form work someone changed it to "Zombies Ahead" Then a few weeks later - "Entering Oz"
Rumor has it that for a while it said - "Drug Check Ahead" Cars were stopping and trying to turn around even with a big ditch in the road.

Then the construction was over and no more fun & games.

Still like Zombies Ahead.

If you're parking your EV in your garage, you're nuts or don't care about your life and house.
Also - call BS. 110 won't cut it. That's a 20 amp circuit at best. Unless you're charging a golf cart, it won't cut it.

Consider an ICE car that costs say $40,000 and after 10 years you have to do about $20K worth of work to it or it's not working at all. Engine, transmission, front end, it would have to be quite a list to get up to $20K. That ICE car would be considered absolute crap. Like an old Yugo. Well, that's an EV today.

EVs are not emission-free. You're moving it someplace else. That could be a diesel generator, coal, who knows what. Some charging stations are Diesel driven. So it's really an ICE car and as I said - crappy car when compared to real cars.

Then there is all the copper, lithium, and so on to build them, and the disposal. Slave and child labor go into the materials. A lot of it is toxic, and dangerous. So dangerous that while a large portion of the country park their ICE car in their garage without a concern, parking an EV in your garage is IMHO - reckless. If the damn thing catches fire - and they catch fire, your house is done. Usually 30,000 gallons of water to put it out. For me the tanker trucks would be going back and forth to the local pond many times. I'd probably lose the house, maybe some occupants that can't move on their own very well. One of these days it'll set an apartment complex or hotel on fire. It's coming. Then there is the pollution with the tires. They go through tires about 3X as fast causing micro rubber pollution into the streams and oceans. They're an environmental nightmare.

Charging - some businesses have approached cities to "heavy-up" their service for their EV trucks. They're requiring more than the entire city combined and often many times what the entire city consumes. Just one company. More wire capacity to the business to the point it doesn't make sense. It seems we'll need a nuclear reactor on every corner compared to today.

Then GM, Ford, Others can't sell them. Nobody wants them. The people I know that had a Tesla don't have them anymore. Every one of them went back to ICE cars. One guy that I know has a Volt still has hit volt. The cars that also have an ICE seem to do a whole lot better.

Besides, the future isn't in batteries and I think those of us that know what's going on know it. It's Hydrogen like I've said for the past 30 years. They just haven't realized it yet other than Toyota.

I could be wrong though I think we've already peaked with EVs as they are today. Unless there is another artificial boost from the Government again. The Free Market won't do it.
