E.) Dryers and 240 v EV chargers use lots of electricity which in turn will raise everyone's electric bill causing massive necessary power grid upgrades. [emoji37]

To me one of the most beautiful women was Bettie Page. It was difficult even finding a picture I could post that would be acceptable...but like so many, Marilyn Monroe, Jane Mansfield, etc. if you read about their (her) life, it wasn't that happy...and in real life what they portrayed for the...

No it didn't get dropped. I will add, maybe help solve the mystery, they may be as much as 40 years old and in an area where temperature could have reached 100°F, but never below 60°F. Every shell is split exactly like that. I could contact Federal, maybe they know. (Maybe if I whine they'd...

I have a whole case of 20ga. shells like this. Why did they split, and do I just dispose of them? Thanks!

I'm just so happy I'm 70, wife 68. Certainly some things are better today, other's not so much We could buy EVs, Bugatti or Lamborghini but wouldn't have them. Whatever blows your skirt as they say.

If you're ever in Santa Fe NM you must see the spiral staircase in the Loretto Chapel. The church needed a staircase getting up to the second floor choir section. In 1878 a fellow just shows up with a few hand tools and built it. It's a work of art and just "floats" without supports. The...

Two saws I use all the time, a Sthil MS291 & Greenworks battery. Each fantastic but very different applications. My collection of Dewalt 20v tools I use all the time too.

My understanding is the "green new deal" is in stages, mandating end of ice car, truck, tractor, mower, chainsaw, etc. manufacture and most likely at some point even owning/driving. As fuel prices increase, as more people buy/embrace EVs, ending ice production...that's the elimination of choice.

Do your own research. Here's some: (Where have you been?[emoji848]) "calmatters.org Jun 9, 2022 — The rules would mandate increased sales of electric or other zero-emission vehicles in California, beginning with 35% of 2026 models." Another: "To date, 12 states have adopted the ZEV Program...

I've said it before, say it again...I'm not against EVs! I AM against mandates and lack of choices. What suits one's needs won't suit another. Case in point...my 95 yo Mother has a 2006 Hyundai Elantra, last new car Dad (rip) bought. 38K miles on it. Car isn't worth much, although garaged, taxes...

"the boondocks seems to be good for getting massive federal funding." Print Monopoly money, increase taxes. Where's the free lunch?

Yes things will be great! No tantrum here...just sit back & watch. There won't be rate or tax increases, simply free power![emoji6][emoji2960]

Wait until electricity goes WAY up. That's when you'll hear whining from everyone including EV owners. (Wait for my evisceration). "We'll put in free solar panels!"...etc. [emoji1787]

It wasn't practical then, it's not practical now...yet. It takes lots of planning. Cart before the horse.

Yes...what I'm saying...

I try to use common sense here: 1) yes, our electric grid works NOW except in more populated areas which is why keeping thermostat at 78 is recommended. 2) replacing untold thousands of ICE vehicles with EVs require charging which stresses the marginal electric grid. It would have to be...

Search "does the us produce its own oil". Also search "facetiousness"

Which should & does not have to be.

"The U.S does indeed produce enough oil to meet its own needs. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2020 America produced 18.4 million barrels of oil per day and consumed 18.12 million." For years we've been pumping our own plentiful oil. As mentioned many products...

Where,what,how,? Is this supposed to be Stonehenge?

Then "WE" need to move toward self sufficiency. We are capable of pumping our own oil and refining it.

And those who pay most of the taxes receive the least benefit of it. Those who pay little or no taxes receive the most.

We need to manufacture our own integrated circuits and pump our own plentiful oil. Period.

I especially liked the pallet jack races and pallet roller coaster except for all the splinters.

EVs are putting the cart before the horse. I'm lucky here since I have charging options, many people don't. The closest public charger to me is 9 miles away. I just called and it's 30c/minute or $18+tax+$2 connection fee for 80% charge (2022 Chevy Bolt example) which takes an hour assuming no...

Should paint it black.

There are townhouses all around here, probably 100 cars each one. I don't know how they could meter each car. Wife grew up in town, parking on the street. Would you run an 200 ft. extension cord from house, down steps & across sidewalk & out to the car?

I didn't watch video but if you had a road with coils under pavement and coil under EV car it could charge while driving by inductive electromagnetism...right?

What? I could never be grossed out by a shapely lady!

I like that shed's look. It looks a lot like a log cabin but wouldn't have the maintenance. That would make a great hunting cabin if made bigger, and a nicer porch on it. Wonder where you get siding like that? (Or is it just me that likes it?[emoji1]).

If you're in love with EVs...buy one (or more). That's your choice. If I chose NOT buying one, that should be my choice. HOWEVER! Don't raise fuel prices (by take your pick of high fuel price reasons), don't mandate that I buy one, (to my insurance company): don't raise MY insurance rates to...

If one is to quote me, don't segment a part out! I said "I'm not subservient to anyone forcing me into an EV by raising fuel prices...it won't work!" meaning raising fuel prices (which is the EV switching plan [I'm waiting for THAT comment]) is NOT the answer getting people to switch over to...

The tipping point will be if/when fuel prices drop & when people start paying high electric bills, having to buy batteries, locate & wait at a charging station, or get stranded while on vacation.

Who's fault is that? Why was it less than half the price it is now? Who do we blame...pick one:...Corporate greed!...Russia!...supply & demand!...lack of refineries!...Mom & Pop stores overcharging...etc.

Why are we looking at the Dow 30? Supply & demand. Here are the statistics:

Tornado missed our place by about 2000 feet! We're so lucky. Guys looking at "nothing " used to be a trailer there down a side road. Some injuries, no deaths...some missing cattle & pets.

We had a tornado come through less than 1/2 mile away! Our road is closed...incredible devastation. I'll post more pictures later if I can. Some houses & garages flattened. We've fine here thank God. Lost power 3 hours. We've never had anything like that here, S. Va. & high elevation.
