EV owners of today and tomorrow

Speaking of fools…I’m curious… is it rectangular, or round shaped? Like a traditional thin crust, or deep dish?

PM me so I can describe it to you, either from an engineering aspect or an elementary school aspect.

• A fool loves to talk, but hates to listen. (Proverbs 18:2 )
• A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool. (Shakespeare)
• Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do. (Unk)

You really need to look into the mirror when making these statements.

I think it's time to have a "flat earth" thread, so we can separate it out from the EV banter.

Water does stick to a spinning ball.

But, how does one explain gravity if the Earth is flat?

Try that experiment and report back to the group.
Gravity is a theory and a magical concept that keeps the fairy tale universe together.
Gravity is nothing more than density and buoyancy reacting to its surrounding medium (air/water/helium) in an electromagnetic environment.

When I see with my own eyes that the moon is round, the round shading of earth on it when earth gets between it and the sun, that the sun is round,,, with my modest telescope, I see with my own eyes, round Saturn, Jupiter with orbiting moons, mars…
Is it all fake, painted on my lens or in my imagination, or what’s the probability that everything we see is a globe, except earth?

We should. I find discussing the idea that we’ve all been duped by a giant coordinated worldwide government conspiracy to believe our planet is a globe , more interesting than battery cars

Okay Newton... but Einstein's work filled in those gaps nearly 100 years ago. Gravity is not a force, and not related to density or buoyancy, these are all 300 year-old theories disproven before WW2. By definition, gravity is a bending of spacetime, proportional to mass. To use your "from an elementary school aspect" phrase, think of it as the way a trampoline will sag when a heavy mass is placed at its center, and the orbiting planets as balls rolled onto the trampoline tangent to its perimeter. Orbiting objects are moving in a straight trajectory, with respect to the curved distortion of spacetime, created by gravity.

This has been proven out many times, by correlation through many observations, most noticeably the bending of light around celestial objects during eclipses.

We have planes seems like it would be easy enough for someone to fly to the edge and prove it if there was one.(edge)

Yes speaking of the fool Trad.... he sent me another private message today to try to convince me the earth is flat, the funniest was that " water has never been shown to stick to a spinning ball" ......yet he thinks I am a fool to expect all electricty home costs( delivery, transmission , taxe etc ) be applied to the kwh rate they use to exaggerate about how much to charge a EV. ......I guess when he orders a pizza delivered to his house he doesnt include the delivery cost to get the pizza to his house when he splits the cost with his friends ( assuming he has friends)

I get the idea that power bills should pro rate the basic service rate into the ev charge because service is needed to hook up the cars connector. But also think I have been paying that charge for well over 30 years and not once has the bill been the base charge, so is it really fair to penalize the EV using the service?

In the next few months I am hoping to get Solar panels, back up batteries, and hybrid Inverter up and running.

I will still probably never be able to totally unhook from the meter which is fine, the main point being able to supply my own power as back up mainly. ROI without the tax break not likely.

Well there is the what would Aliens Look like thread that had some banter back and forth on Flat Earth, I miss Roy Jackson's posts...

If there are aliens, what will they look like?

I think that like a previous poster suggested, their physical design as well as senses would be based on the conditions that they lived in while developing. I doubt we would meet the green skin, stubby legs, giant eyes and pasty smooth flesh of childhood stories.

Even the Alien outlook has changed considerably since the last posts on that thread since the congressional hearings. I Hope Tim Burchett keeps pushing. Anyone worried about EV incentives should also be asking how much tax money has disappeared into the Black hole of Ultra Dark Black secret projects over the last 75 years.
US government has seized over 5000 energy patents. All that Tax money have to wonder where technology "really" stands today.

Que the Twilight Zone music.

We can't talk about what we are from the flight deck
