Comment So, no video allowed either? (Score 3, Interesting) 131

When looking at a video recording from around the crime scene, it shows more than one person at a particular place/time. Any or none of them could be guilty of the crime, but all are observed on video.

When looking at a list of phones present from around the crime scene, it lists more than one person at a particular place/time. Any or none of them could be guilty of the crime, but all are on the list.

I'm not sure I see a particular distinction between the two.

Funny how those motors have unlimited miles on both the coils and bearings!

Funny how I mad no such claim.

A while ago, we had an Olds Delta 78

I'd rather have that Delta 78 than any of these newer ones, any day of the week.

Well, why DON'T you have that Delta 78 then? If it was the end-all-be-all of cars, why isn't it still humming along for you? Don't answer, I already know why.

Eventually, we got a car with fuel injection, and gave up on fixing anything beyond spark plugs and oil.

Jeez, really? Nothing except spark plugs and oil? Damn, son, every car I've previously owned was fuel injected, and I've done WAY more work than that. And I don't even consider myself that big of a car repair expert.

OK, use the car's built in navigation to find a charger. Or lookup the charger before you leave (which you should do anyways). And you don't have to 'constantly' use an app. You lookup a charger along your route that works for you... and that's it.

Yes Google maps to get going the right direction than the phone goes away.

Yes. You use Google maps to get going the right direction to your charger, and then the phone goes away. I'm not understanding your problems and complaints.

I agree completely that an EV road trip does take more planning due to the fact that gas pumps are everywhere, and EV fast chargers are not. But once you get an app like Plugshare or A Better Route Planner (ABRP) and use it a few times, it won't seem so daunting.

And I also concede that not every person in every situation can use an EV, but easily more than half of the cars on the road today could switch to an EV and barely notice any difference.

Possibly: the battery has like a hundred miles left in its life, the EV motors are on their last legs, the computer glitches now and then, there's a short in the wiring that shuts the whole car down sometimes, any of those things.

It's hilarious the completely wrong things that the anti-EV crowd comes up with. EV motor on it's last leg? Seriously? And why would the EV computer glitch and have wiring issues, but not the ICE computer and wiring? (Yes, ICE vehicles have computers, and GASP wires).

it's the equivalent of the government refunding the money the person was supposed to pay back.

Government gives $100 loan. Student borrower gives $100 at a later date to repay the loan. At no point did the borrower give the government anything in excess of zero dollars. ($100 loan - $100 payback = zero net dollars). There is nothing to 'refund'. The student never had $100 of their own money to give the government, it was the government's $100 all along.

Keep in mind that people sometimes have to declare loan forgiveness as income.

Yes. Correct. I'm going to let you mull over your very own statement to see if you can figure out how you just sabotaged your own argument.

I'll give you a hint: The French company ain't having to declare their refund as income...
