Yeah, do the math. For a Volt, on 110, if i remember the math it would take roughly 12 hours to fully charge. The Bolt i was looking at was in the range 4 miles/hour, or 50 hours to fully charge.
Yeah, no. I almost bought a Chevy Volt , 53 miles on the battery before having to use gas to recharge the battery. The only thing that stopped me. 1) the car i was replacing refused to die, and I'm a cheapskate 2) I'd have to install better charging in my condo, and would have to deal with the HOA to do it. 3) my job doesn't have chargers anywhere near, and it's approx. 85 miles round trip, meaning it would switch to gas for most of the drive back. However, in a more sane commute this thing would pretty much go all the way electric, and no worry about the battery dying.
I'm assuming they'll be unreliable and break down a lot, as is par for the course with VWs? I can't figure out why anyone buys them: Everyone I know who's had one has had unending problems. Meanwhile, my boring toyota just keeps rolling. I've got a friend who is on her second VW new Beetle. Someone said to her "Why are you buying another one? It's like some woman in an abusive relationship who just keeps coming back to get hit".
the worry is that they don't completely understand everything they're modifying. For example, sickle cell anemia grants increased malaria resistance to those who carry it repressively. The worry is that you change a gene to remove problem X, and accidentally introduce problem Y. Which may not be immediately apparent.
Please buddy. You stated you thought the right would support eugenics more. you were told the left did. You asked for proof. You were given proof. you responded with "but we grew up!". Be a man, admit you were wrong, and sit down. It won't kill you.
There's a tough balancing act to this, however. In California, over the years codes have made the building better, stronger, safer and more energy efficient. The flipside of that is cost: It costs significantly more to plan and build now. As a result, there is a housing shortage with excessive housing prices, leading to one portion of the cause of rampant homelessness. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying it needs to be managed.
Really? REALLY? No. You're wrong. There is NOT almost always either wind or sun. There may often be wind, and often be sun, but not even close to half the time complete coverage.
Cool, saying " I had to take my car to the shop" makes me sound incompetent and incapable of fixing anything. Now, I can say "My cars going into the auto cloud",and I'm cool again!
He says A, you say B. Give us some stats to prove B. Because from where I sit, he's right: providing everyone with a current standard of living is undoable.
Buying a house used to be affordable to all. And buying is almost always better than renting. My TOTAL expenditures on mortgage/insurance/taxes for my condo is still 1000 less per month than the guy living next to me renting the same place. And I bought it in 2013. Yes, I might have moved. IN which case I"d have sold this place and made roughly 150 K.
People already live in bubbles, and we're moving more and more in that direction. Everything delivered via the internet, No need to leave the home, telecommuting, virtual reality environments... Hell, I've got a fat neighbor who rarely goes out unless he has to. He's fit in fine in a cube on Mars.

That's why i like the Volt. Charge away, but backup on gas if needed. Apparently GM doesn't agree with me.
So you're saying in five years ( or less ), EVs be the majority? I'll take that bet. Even money?

I strongly disagree and will be creating a political party to further my beliefs in undending political screaming.
plus, LTC is often time limited. For my mom, it's 5 years.

fix healthcare, and I'm totally onboard.
in California, it's 2%, and 3% for firemen/police, which is what's killing everyone.

Is Pooh Bear watching adult swim reruns of Sealab 2021?
Technically, he still did. he was just really really really dead.
The antarctica argument is terrible.
Our involvement there is like a hobby, not a serious exploration.

OH MY GOD!
If they came out with a Science show hosted by Dolph Lundgren and Brian May, I believe I'd watch nothing ever but that show.
You also, apparently, get zero fucks.
Yeah, we get it, I say sky, you say ground. Go on, say it...
