he believes that if you power something, such as a car, with a battery and use said device to recharge the battery, it will run forever
However, this is the norm for petrol or diesel powered cars.
No it isn't. Petrol or diesel cars have an external supply of energy. Usually it's petrol or diesel. And to keep it running, you have to put more of said liquid in. Nothing like a perpetual motion machine (which is what the grandparent was talking about) really.
Yes, but it all boils down to a very simple thing; things are built, then promptly blown up only to rebuild it. That's a monumental waste of resources. Would be better to repair the old stuff and only build new when it's actually needed

Those pushing DRM want to own all content. If they can find a way to make you pay a fee to watch your own home movies, they'll use it.
Well warthogs are tropical. But your sus scrofa lives in a temperate zone.
African or European?
Not a problem. Just type OVERRULE in big letters.
Maybe you have a different definition of recent, but in 95/96 there was a blizzard from the Atlantic to the Ohio valley.
It was never particularly green. The name was dreamed up by an early form of marketroid pushing a real estate scam.
Pope is a Catholic, claims Vatican.
Ununbium, ununseptium, ununennium ... are they ever going to get it right? It's U-N-O-B-T-A-I-N-I-U-M.
Maybe he meant "a one lifetime achievement", implying that most of us will be dead & gone by the time it comes out?
