Wet sand the writing off of the doors, ditch the 70's 4x4 wheels, and you’re all set. Love the original engine. Slam dunk NP. 

The issue with a heavy switch to solar is that there’s a distinct lack of storage built into the current grid in the US. So it’s great to have all this solar power generated during a sunny day, but without an ability to store any excess power, what do you do when it’s cloudy, or you know night time.

and maintenance would be a disaster. How about just buying 2,300 square miles of land, and covering it panels? that is only 48 miles square. Roughly the size of Metro Atlanta. The US already has about 1 MILLION square miles under its authority. Pretty sure we could find 48, have central maintenance, Ideal weather…

That’s true, forgot about the medical part.

Not all

Brobeans, you have feelings, your feelings don’t have you.

“If one atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima accounted for 70,000 immediate deaths, and 135,000 deaths after the effects of the radioactivity and burns, if you extrapolate those numbers to 279 aircraft (if there were an equivalent number of city sized targets), the immediate deathtoll would be nearly 20 million people,…

I really don’t see that as a major difference. Dead are dead, how they got there really doesn’t matter that much. We now have fuel-air munitions that are single conventional weapons that are nearly on-par with those early nukes.

Joule thief!

Nah, LMC Trucks makes pretty much all of the exterior sheet-metal for just about every domestic truck ever made, and I’m doubting they’ll stop anytime soon, as it appears to be a pretty lucrative business.

Yah, especially with induction motors. Those don’t have the zero-RPM torque of permanent-magnet motors, but you can build them out of aluminum, steel and copper rather than rare earths.

All diseases should be named after places in Connecticut. 

Bloodsucking parasites either way.

So here’s my Perot story:

The 2014-2015 was the last good looking Chevy truck in my opinion. There are things I don't like about it. It too could probably be less huge, but it looks far better than it's facelift and the current "roids gone wrong" truck.

My guess is that, being Canadian, they were too polite to wake a sleeping passenger. 

My neighbor got a blue Silverado recently. My wife tells me, “Did you see that nice looking truck our neighbor just got?”

It’s so irresponsible to allow a terribly damaging and dangerous disease to spread. We owe it to the world to remove the threat of infection from future generations. 

So let capital build something without labor. Or sell something to consumers without money.

Jokes on them.   The US didn’t lose a single F-35 during the Vietnam war.
