Why would we ever allow them to put us in a position where we have to 'bargain' for our inherent freedoms?

An alternative go getting drunk and throwing mashed potatoes and turkey legs at relatives who spent hours/days in travel gridlocks to grace your threshold: report the suckers to the FBI if they don't toe the KommieFuck line:

Newsom signs a "Bribe The Judges To Keep You Off The Sex Offender Registry" Bill. Whenever the law says 'discretion', it means fill the suitcases with bills for the bribes. We would expect nothing less from the Klaus Barbie Schwab pawn.

I think that's the Caltrain endpoint in San Francisco. Arrived there for work for many years.

How is this any different than the AAA guy pouring some gallons of gas into a car on the side of the road so the folks can get to the nearest gas station?

I've had to do this.

The horrible secret of electric cars is that they are natural gas/coal powered machines. They do not reduce pollutants or CO2. They are very inefficient. Transmission line loses are enormous. They are not an improvement of any sort. This is centralized government - they're not solving a problem, they are artificially creating a market.

What is so horrible about that? Coal is bad, yes.

Coal isn't bad.

HunterTits says

Natural gas tho, a lot less so compared to other electrical generation plants AND gasoline/diesel powered car engines.

In South America there are natural gas powered cars. They can burn gasoline as well. The engine doesn't have to be modified.

Here's a simple equation. The cost of anything mass produced is proportional to the energy input to produce it. If a wind farm cost $1 trillion dollars, that's roughly proportional to the amount of energy needed to make it. It better produce at least 2 trillion dollars worth of energy in terms of coal, natural gas, etc.

CO2 is NOT a greenhouse gas either. Surprisingly, producing more of it seems to be beneficial to the planet. There is a TINY amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, but the more we make, the greener the Earth becomes.

HunterTits says

Some places it will be more and other places less. But to increase that number either the grid gets massive investment -- trillions of dollars worth -- or there is massive investment in more locally generated power supply and local grids to compensate.

Everything that is done is to advantage companies. That's my complaint.

I am probably North America's foremost expert in DIN and 15118 which is a data standard to charge electric vehicles through DC fast charging. The whole fucking thing is a scam. The protocol was designed to advantage an incompetent company to make money, and it's a terrible standard. The people who made the standard are fucking idiots who designed it thinking nobody would realize they were frauds.

Electric cars are a fucking scam. I'm telling you straight out. They are not designed to reduce emissions, they are not cheaper, they are a scam.

HunterTits says

THAT is what makes the EV 'market' unsustainable in my view.

It's just a way to create an artificial market.

We are not in a free market economy.

Isn't it terrible when your relatives at Thanksgiving aren't within mashed potato throwing distance?

Be afraid. Very afraid.

Lol! They caught Dan Andrews in Australia snorting some drug before going to microphone looking bug eyed. Maybe a little adrenochrome/cocaine pick me up? These people are stupid AND out of control.

There's a cap on how much the existing grid can support charging EVs and hybrids.

Correct. So, do you see the handwriting on the wall? We are in a golden age of personal transport, but that will end when ICE is outlawed. Electric self-drive cars will be unaffordable to the average Joe. Therefore, Joe will get around on an electric bus or an irregular route 10 or so pax vehicle that you schedule in advance or summon by app. There is not enough electricity for everyone to have a personal car anyway, so only rich and politically connected will have a private car. The rest of us will be on some sort of shared ride.

Shit dude, after seeing that I got the urge to sit down to pee after looking at that pic. You can feel the T-suppressing vibes exuding from that photo.

I was on an aquarium binge for a while when I was younger, tried to grow some serious plants. Aside from a handful of species, almost all aquariums are CO2 starved without special equipment or DIY CO2 injections. Then I was like "So why is CO2 such a problem?"

I know. They are testosterone kryptonite.

Has CNN reached the point of jumping the shark of self parody yet?

Strange. Just about everyone in the marine tank community struggles with too much CO2. Here is an example from my own. The peak in the middle is where I changed the water the day before I took off on a Thanksgiving trip. In the morning, I realized I'd pinched the line to my CO2 scrubber (which only comes on if the pH goes below 8.0 due to my breathing in my condo and cuts off at 8.1). I fixed it and left. Notice the new higher baseline from me not being there as I type this. I can control it remotely.

Re:CO2
I once grew large quantities of phytoplankton (marine microscopic plants) in high concentrations.
I bubbled CO2 gas into the tanks to facilitate the culture.

Only ignorant people believe CO2 is a pollutant. Unfortunately, judges are ignorant among others.

Forests and oceans use CO2, we likely can’t stop it unless we pave over the world and that’s still just 30% of the surface of the planet.

LOL: last week I've deployed one of these stickers at a gas station I frequent. Came back yesterday expecting the sticker to be gone. Nope, still there. Put one more on a different pump.
