    its all bollox. if you've washed your hands properly there will be no germs to spread.

  2. i always try and check these random bloggers and find out how they are qualified to make an "informed" opinion before giving them any credence

  3. proved my point, thanks.

  4. who the hell is Brandon Shollenberger , what are his qualifications?

  5. this topic really brings out the idiot trolls who are the worst examples of humanity

    lets hope you don't breed as your lack of concern for others following you is appalling

  7. You obviously have a problem reading the previous post and understanding my comment on it.
    ""The gays" often adopt a more feminine style of speech, this can sometimes include a lisp." - thats just as crap an observation as the the one about all people with a lisp being gay.

  8. because someone has a speech impediment of a lisp, they are gay? interesting conclusion

  9. it would also be useful when someone thinks its dodgy or hokey, they post their level of expertise in the particular field that qualifies them to make the judgement...........

    That raises the questions of "where were the bushes?" and "what is portables an euphemism for?"

  12. https://www.scottishrenewables... according to the output by technology chart down the page, hydro was about 50% of onshore wind (and 25% overall) at the end of 2014

    being socially aware seems to be an anathema as well. I never see an references to pollution with arguments against EV, its always price and range.

    do you get loans for 100% of the price of a vehicle in the US?

    "I've said it before, I'll say it again. My primary objection to EVs is the price. Cut the price in half and they'll sell like hotcakes." - new tech takes a time to become cheaper so you'll have to wait for others to take strain so you can exploit the gain.

    not bad for the launch of a single car from a small manufacturer in the time scale though.

    Most electricity is produced with fossil fuels " - at the moment but some of the people who buy an EV will also have solar at home to charge their vehicle.

    i certainly didn't expect anything else. it should be made law that all communications software of this type should be able to interact with each other so all APIs should be published. imagine if nokia phones could only call nokia phones. i wonder if we can talk the EU into investigating the possibility.

    the bible also supports violence against people, try reading more of it and don't just rely on the cherry picked good bits. Some Dutch students recently went onto the streets with the bible covered with a wrapper to say it was the koran and they read nasty passages out of it and got comment. They were shocked to find out it was the bible they were reading.

    you need to read more of your bible then. there are countless examples of nastiness like genocide, stoning people to death etc etc.
