if the gov planned to throw a grenade and the soldier agreed in advance that it would be a good idea to do so and that they would like to jump on it, your analogy might hold.

Agreed, but that's why I voted for let a private company do it.

Current cars can 80% charge in 30 minutes. So I think the question is do we need 5 minute charging instead of 30 minute charging?

If my range was 300 miles, I'd be cool with 30 minute charging. I'd almost never use it.

or store it in capacitors for super fast discharge

I've known plenty of people who I wouldn't trust to fly me around who got their pilot's license. I would say it's pretty easy from what I've seen. Isn't expensive either. Maybe $10-15K?

I allow Delta to vouch for their pilots, based on their domain expertise and interest in preserving their billions in capital.

I wouldn't trust your average yahoo who has a plane and license.

but it doesn't have oceans.

AND, there are lots of other interesting moons out that way. good to establish a precedent that this far out exploration can be done.

not to mention virtually every state in the union.
they were inhabited when we showed up, you know.

BOOM.

its just so cheap that it kind of begs the question of why not if u have any unconnected tv in your home.

actually this market makes perfect sense to me.
a $100 device that does everything i need on my tv that i can replace every few yrs is appealing.
what doesn't makes sense to me is the smart tv market.
the tv will last a decade. the smart part is outdated at purchase time.

old pcs and consoles are not replacements for various reasons relating to cost, noise, size, power use, and maintenance.

there is the argument, of course, that these people want to be part of russia as they historically had been until the 50's when russia gave the territory away to ukraine.

yeah, i have a manual, and i do this and downshift at the same time to slow down. so ass behind me always has to swerve around me and hit the gas to accelerate past me for 50 feet, then brake hard to stop for the light. always amazed.

150 hit points could do a lot of damage to the light
