That’s the beauty — they do not benefit / don’t need a stoichiometric fuel ratio. At idle, they’re basically running on air, with the tiniest bit of fuel added. That’s one reason why trucks can idle all night — the fuel consumption is negligible compared to an idling gas engine.

No worries. No vaccine? HR will have your final paycheck.

“the average person doesn’t need 15 Anthrax boosters, typhoid and yellow fever to go to the grocery store”

You need all the stars for your excellent summary.

My brain is now officially hurting. DVMs are, in my experience, some of the kindest, most sympathetic people I’ve come across. 

It’s simple. Get the needle or leave the human race. This is beyond politics, left or right. Sorry about your sister’s views -- hopefully she can still inform herself about, you know, SCIENCE!

Biden / EV:  Yup, it’s a pledge. Because otherwise the Reps would scream about GUMMINT PICKING WINNERS AND LOSERS!!

So tell us a bit about yourself. Do you ride? And if so, details, please. What’s the beef with Bradley, who is a genuinely swell guy?

This is the Second Coming of the V-Rod. Seems a great bike, but hopefully ends up doing better than its predecessor (forward controls and all, ugh).

Yes, that was epic, and kudos again to Patrick for posting the whole story.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Thank you for the outstanding reply. There is no doubt that others and I will give them their “fair shot.” It is indeed an audition, and you and the others have set a high bar.

It’s (been) an amazing site with amazing people. With your leaving, it becomes less special, but no doubt your life and career will become even richer and brighter. Thanks for letting us share the ride with you. See you somewhere down the road.

Nice bike. :-)

Yes! And in these carb-sensitive times, maybe not so much bread inside anymore?

Toto is now bringing his Wolf game now that Mercedes has real competition.

Ah. Good to know. What brand / model / year, please?

I see a future (okay, more like a “now”) where households have an “electronic isolation box.” You put your phone, electronic dongles, etc. in it as needed for a few hours of peace & quiet, blissfully disconnecting the owner from trackers, annoying BINGS!, and keyless car theft.

Agree, but thought / assumed things may have gotten better with the new regime(s): Ray Wart (deliberate sp) is long gone, Patrick smacked the Camaro but was genuinely apologetic. Rory is a local, and his Autoweek pedigree alone should be enough to get an invite. Erin is a class act, and there is no nicer Human Being in…

tfltruck.com went and drove it with a trailer at the GM Proving Grounds. Check it out. Andre seemed impressed.
