I would love the efficiency of owning an electric car, the only thing that worries me is power outages of any substantial length would leave me and my family without a primary means of transportation.
We had an ice storm where I live a while ago and some were without power for weeks. I just happened to live by a hospital and apparently share the same electrical grid, so I was only out of power for ~8 hours.
A lot of people are just tired of hearing about it and they are tuning out. It doesn't even matter if its true or not, all people know is that they haven't drowned yet or cooked alive, so it must not be important. Paying the mortgage, that is what is on their minds.
It also doesn't help that people usually hear the global warming cry shortly followed up by a demand for higher taxes to pay for their sins against mother nature.
It seems like you have never used NFC on Android devices. On my Android tablet and smartphone, you have to physically press them together and make sure you hit the "sweet spot". It doesn't work when the devices are inches apart.
"The arsenal in his home included a fully automatic single shot shotgun, 2 fully automatic assault ar-15's, 3 machine gun revolvers, a plasma rifle with 40 watt range..."
Lets not forget he probably had a half a dozen AK-47'! oh noz!
And how is this different than the overuse of the "racism" charge? As soon as someone runs out of intelligent logical rebuttals, they revert to throwing out a "racism" charge in order to stifle opposing viewpoints.
"...the Dutch police have asked 8080 men to provide their DNA..."
These 8080 men should all line up and rain their DNA in the form of a giant golden shower.
... before this is illegal in the US. The BATF is pretty strict on any manufacturing or modifications to firearms that converts them to full auto, I'm sure they'll be all over this too soon if they aren't already (I'm too lazy to look it up).
What’s this? Apple copying products that other manufacturers are already producing? More lawsuits!
It's too bad these lawsuits don't have real casualties, just like a war. Yeah you can go litigate, but there will be a heavy price; lawyers are your deficit.
1984 depressed the hell out of me for a couple of weeks. I think it affected me so much because I can see the beginnings of such a world happening all around. Currently, language is a weapon. Your own speech is being used against you to control you. "Politically correct speech" is nothing more than a tool for political ideologies to control what you say, how you act, what you do. If you control the language, you control the debate.
Reducing *fraudulent* voter turn out, yes.
All I ever hear is one side throwing out wide accusations at the other accusing them of trying to disenfranchise their sides voters. Well hell, I've been disenfranchised for years. What the hell is the point of my one single legal vote when it is drowned in a sea of bullshit illegal votes from dead people, illegal aliens, felons voting, fraud, double voting, etc.
If we do not wish to protect the sanctity and validity of our voting system, why dont we just get it over with and have our elections open to the world? What could it possibly hurt to have other countries decide our presidential race? If we do not wish to respect the rule of law in which our citizens are the only legal voters, why have any restrictions at all. Lets let North Korea, Cambodia, Mexico, etc decide how we are governed.
Actually, it seems that frequently, "man made global warming" is frequently code for "this is total bullshit that we're making up so we can get some venture capitalists and world governments to give us a lot of money so we can embezzle it and/or keep our grants going".
For every.1cm of rise, we'll have to raise taxes a hunnerd bajillion trillion dollars! Even if the rise doesnt occur! FOR THE CHILDREN!
We'll use all that money to soak up the waters!
Of course Obama would be better suited to handle an alien invasion.
He's an absolute master at division and convincing one race / economic group to hate another. He'd be perfect for demonizing a new "race", he's got lots of practice.
What is the purpose of teflon coated seals? Are they to battle Martian magma goblins?
How do the seals survive exposure to the Martian atmosphere?
My God man, it's inhumane!
I simply cannot understand the position some people take "it's just stuff, it's not worth a life!". You broke into my *home*. This is where I live with my wife and child. I am not going to spend one nanosecond pondering your motives, whether you are here to steal my tv or the life of my family. I'm going to shoot center mass (no, *not* in the legs), and I am not going to stop shooting until the threat is no more. Period.
My state has a castle doctrine, but I don't care. It was my doctrine long before it was state law. No one is going to tell me that my life and my family’s lives are worth less than some criminal that broke into my house.

Can the US electric grid support a mainstream consumer switch to electric cars?

tl;dr = conservatives are selfish, liberals are selfless. got it
Johnson not Jordan. I bet Michael would have been unpleasantly surprised.
Hopefully the Antarctic ice does not melt as well. We should try to convince poor insane Danforth to tell us what he saw out of the planes window.

Their tax returns are none of your damn business. If you are so interested in vetting these two candidates, where were you four years ago?
My dad went through this process to get his Thompson, it's a hoot.

The FBI, which is working with the police, says no terrorism link has been established.
The above quote was one of the first bits of news I heard about this massacre when I turned on the news this morning.
It boggles my mind that they would rush to "assure" us that everything is ok, those people were not massacred by terrorists. That makes everything ok!
