No insurance? Of any kind? No liability insurance if you might, I dunno,  cave in the door of someone else’s car?  What do you do when it’s raining?  Just get wet?  I spent time with a bike only and it got old real fast.  Somewhere in the desert southwest it could be viable, but not here up North.

I’ll not buy another car.  Cars cost too much and so does the money.  I don’t have the kind of disposable income to travel much.  I live simply and have an old car and an old phone.  It’s great if you can.  My point is that economics make it very, very unlikely for most working people.

A sandwich should not cost more than the local minimum wage.

invented by orthopedists to keep aging racket sport oficianados coming in to the office.  Those Mercedes payments don’t make themselves.

Americans can’t afford to travel anywhere except to work. that’s the articles’ title.  Europe is a theme park level  of expense and most of us can’t ever even think about.  Workers need more income.  It’s simple.  Also impossible.

500 gallons of diesel is over two grand. Good for about thirty hours of a cruise.

(sigh)  That 350,000 gallon figure is still well short of the amount of water used when launching a Shuttle or SLS  or Saturn 5, so long ago.  More power than the Saturn and lots less water on a substandard launch platform gives me much pause about any sort of reuse of that platform.  It’s not gonna go well.

My wife and I own a 2016 HRV that is paid off and a 2004 bone-stock Civic that is old, but rust free and serviceable.  No mortgage, some retirement savings and a part time job at the weed store.  We are OK but probably will never buy another new car.  The cost of the car and the cost of money are both out of reach.  I…

Every EV falls short of “expected range”. Marketing has their hands in every aspect of every sale of every item ever imagined. The vehicles stated range is the best possible end of the bell curve of the battery and system. The basis of this is the “your mileage may vary” sticker on every car since the oil embargo half…

Twenty Two hides are used in every Bentley Continental.

Well, that’s new.

Thirty years from now we will look back at this as the beginning of the epidemic of shiitake ears on our children.   Seriously, Aspartame was assembled in a lab by a woman chemist who, late in her life, was in an assisted living facility where my wife worked.  My wife used to make tea for her and the lady told my wife…

Defoliating those trees in a drought is a death sentence for them.

Just look at the prevailing winds on the days that above ground tests happened. Days later, the fallout was everywhere in the central and northeastern U.S.  These tests are likely contributing factors in the high levels of thyroid disorders among people who were children then.  

All of this is just to get the customer base to accept the “Idea” of subscribing. In the future (like now) no one will “own” a car. Your daily driver will always and forever be the property of the builder. You will pay a monthly subscription to simply drive a car. Volvo took a shot at this a while back and it didn’t…

in 1972

that was not a quarter large enough, as was clearly demonstrated.  The pad at 39A is much much  bigger than that upturned bucket of cement shrapnel.

I have doubts about this systems’ ability to mitigate the effects 33 engines at liftoff thrust.  I forsee twisted metal and bits everywhere.  ONLY a gigantic concrete structure (which would get blasted into the muck) can keep this from being an “Every launch” type of event.  This thing, if it ever launches, will…

THAT^^^

It is!!
