The grid shouldn’t have much trouble handling car charging loads as they are similar to 240v ovens in our kitchens and HVAC systems in the wattage consumed. We don’t typically have trouble with the grid when new homes are added that include both of those type of large wattage appliances.
I have to wear bug spray and/or long sleeves going out into the woods, the bugs get all over me and are everywhere all the time. There’s lots of wildlife like squirrels, raccoons, deer, coyotes, lizards, frogs, salamanders, woodchucks, beavers, and more all over the place. Seems pretty good here except for the more intense weather seasons we’ve been getting the last 10 years or so.
If it gets too much warmer or disruptive climate here I may decide to migrate north a couple hundred miles or something. My family and descendants should be able to carry on likewise.
IMO a lot of the doomer garbage comes from people who are disconnected from nature completely. I think they live in bubbles of digital doomscrolling and never literally touch grass. Because if you get outside of oppressive concrete urban environments and visit the forest you will see nature persisting along just as it always has. And as we are part of nature, we can also persist along with it.
The technology of modern living is also reason for hope. With some effort individuals can live independently without the need for municipal utilities of any kind, and enjoy the freedom that only self-sufficiency can provide. But people seem to be very complacent these days and unwilling try anything that seems hard. Meanwhile we have all the information of the world at our fingertips for easy access to learn how to do anything. We can each accomplish almost anything - with the info on the Internet I have been able to learn and do anything I wanted to do.
Another thing VLC can do that some might not be aware of is downloading streaming media to file for storage. If you can find the right stream URL, VLC can save whatever that is to MP4 or your format of choice. Save your favorite shows / streams / podcasts to disk and keep them safe in your own personal media server!
What form and quantity of evidence did the dipshit lady Noem provide to prove her claims against the President of Mexico?
The cart driver’s hat says PERVERT
Coast to Coast of course
Cool trailer, kinda shows the characters’ history between seasons. Nancy runs off with John Redcorn, the Hills move away, Boomhauer has a family, new black Hank moves in to the Hill house, Dale runs for mayor, grown Bobby babysits Good Hank for his step-grandma, and then the Hills move back to their same house and the new season starts.
I have seen an 85 mph speed limit on a 2-lane highway in Oklahoma. It was cool because I was in a fast car and I could go as fast as I wanted to (about 90).
Almost like Joan Cornella style, haha
That’s nonsense, cars will always be useful in both rural areas and cities. Goods and services must be delivered to their destinations at a scale and granularity that trains and bikes simply can’t attain. Your whole anti-car movement amounts to tilting at windmills.
Norman Reedus and the Funky Feetus 2: Death Gear Boogaloo
More Metal Gear-like sounds awesome. Article mentions equipment customization, more weapons, camo options for stealth etc.
This is more of a Fuck the Cops problem than with cars though. Cars are at least useful.
Good job doing their job, making an obvious ruling on what the law means versus the bullshit insanity. We need more of this.
That stuff would be about $50 or less total in my area, but I wouldn’t buy any of those but the butter.
Talking to robots is always lame, and denigrating to the human being who speaks to the inanimate.

Because I understand the scale of environmental impact one person can have with 1 car, I am more interested in the lower energy costs and energy independence that EVs offer. With enough solar power and an EV you can achieve independence from the Oiligarchy
