  1. So what happens if nobody complies? If everyone just lets their permit expire? What do you think the states response will be?
  2. Something not often thought about is look for squirrels nest. Squirrels diet is similar to deer. Where you see squirrels you will find deer. And squirrels are easier to find, then set up, deer will come in
  3. On the subject of EV, the media has pushed fear mongering about ev failure, not success. The auto industry seems quite onboard with EV. They are gonna make alot of money with them. Alot more propaganda against EV then for them. EV may not be for everyone, but neither are duramax, and Cummins diesels. Their is a guy who drives an uber EV, and charges his vehicles, free to him at the dealership. Good choice for him. Daily commuters, back and forth to work, retired person who only goes to bingo twice a week. Someone who is putting 6k a year on a vehicle. Lot of reasons and uses for EV.
  4. Hydrogen vehicles would have same issue as electric. No infrastructure. There are a few manufacturers that are very involved with hydrogen.
  5. I am around ev every day. From what I am seeing, they are as dependable as any vehicle on the road. I have replaced 1 high voltage battery, under manufacturer warranty in 3 years on an EV. I have replaced 2 high voltage batteries on hybrids since 2011. Both also under manufacturer warranty. Biggest failures seem to be relay packs. There is alot of voltage/amps going through those, and fail safes installed for safety purposes. Again those repairs also under manufacturer warranty. The infrastructure for ev is at least 10 years behind. That is the biggest problem with these vehicles. No one has a viable plan to fix that. As far as expense, EV dealerships are being required to have chargers installed at the facilities, and available free of charge to consumers. Some manufacturers are also, including with the cost of the vehicle, a charging station at the customers residence. As for mining, no one really cares about the environment unless it is in their backyard. Out of site, out of mind. People did not care where lithium came from until EV started becoming popular. Prior to the EV push we thought of it as good battery technology.
  6. Biggest thing I see now is a lack of pecking order. When I was in school what is now bulling was how kids knew where to fall in line. If a boy wanted to wear a skirt to school, fine but he was gonna have a long recess. A Pecking order is important in society. It is part of becoming a functional part of society.All animals establish them. Now all kids are told they are equal,and everone is a leader.
  7. America is the largest consumer in the world. Regulations, set by administrations have huge impacts on speculation of fuel costs.
  8. Education is essential with gun safety when it comes to children. Locking guns away from children causes a fascination more, I believe. Most humans are fascinated by things we don't understand
  9. I am 43 and went to the dr for the first time. I was not questioned about any firearms.
  10. I would recommend the boatyard for a good dinner.
  11. You actually should not do that. The chickens will still lay eggs if their strength is not needed to stay warm. Adding light during winter months is not beneficial to the birds health.
  12. I don't know aboit that. We have 4 cylinder engines that produce over 300hp now. Power brakes, power steering, traction control, safety standards, ac, and heated steering wheels. And most importantly, vehicles that regularly go 200k with major components failing. Muscle cars look nice, but it takes a quarter mile to come to a stop from 60mph, hand over hand steering, floating out of control at 70 mph, wind noise buffering, 8 track radios, and useless fuel leaks on top of intakesthat flood when the temperaturedrops below 30.. Fun to drive on the weekend to dinner, but I will take fuel injection anyday.
  13. I don't believe EV are a solution to pollution/ global warming. I like EV because they are the evolution of the automobile. All manufacturers have recalls for possible fire safety issues. Using that on EV only is a scare tactic.
  14. Have you ever driven an EV? You should find time to drive one. Immediate torque on acceleration, quick brake time, better controlled traction control, quicker interior heat warm up, and lower maintance cost for consumer. The reliability of electric motors are better then combustion engines. And you can bluetooth sound through the vehicles sound module to sound like your driving Dale Earnhardt's # 3 Chevy on sunday raceday if you want. Battery technology has improved significantly over the last decade. And will only continue to improve. Alot of money is being spent to make it happen. I would bet the debates today over EV, and combustion engines are similiar to when diesel engines replaced steam engines, and gas engines replaced horse and buggy. Infrastructure was not always there for combustion engines neither, but look at us now.
  15. The slow charge on the battery from 110 volts over extended time causes excessive heat. That is why it prematurely wears out the batteries. In the last 6 months my work load has turned from combustion engine vehicles to 75% being electric vehicles. Being one of the only certified technician in the area it has really increased my workload. But now it's more brain, and less brawn.
  16. Plugging ev into 110 are actually for emergency only. Doing so will shorten the life of the batteries. If I could afford one I would buy one for sure. I would also have a real truck for work purposes though, since finances wouldn't be an issue.The immediate response of the vehicles are great. There is not any lag. Bluetooth whatever sound you would like the vehicle to sound like too. And they look nice with all the new technology included. They also are quite simple to work on. Software updates, relay failures, and battery replacement, either packs, or individual cells, depending on manufacturers. The EV would be more of a toy/weekend cruiser.
  17. Worked outside on next years firewood most of the day. Got a cord cut split and stacked today from trees I cut down about a month ago. Took a ride around the hill on sxs. Snow still quite deep on the north west side of hill. Found a nice antler (5 point with mass). Did not find the otherside. Seen 4 deer, and 3 deer while riding the trail. Was nice being outdoors and productive today.
  18. A grown man who gropes children deserves no respect. The videos of him touching and sniffing children is beyond disturbing
  19. The government has over reached and abused their powers over the last 2 years. The convoy is about ours, and future generations freedoms. The convoy is about protesting all the things you just mentioned, not just 1 thing. It is not about being Republicans, or Democrat. But united as Americans and standing for all individual freedom for all Americans. Sadly something our politicians forgot about long ago.
  20. Federal employees are not part of the private sector, sorry if my first statement was confusing. Healthcare workers should have the choice, just like you and I. I work with the public, and I have a choice, so should they. Employers can choose employment requirements, but not be forced by the government, federal, or state. I may not agree with someone choice, but I don't have the right to choose for them.
  21. There still are mandates. Federal employees, healthcare workers. It is about all Americans freedom of choice. I fully support the convoy
  22. A philly cheesesteak, with fried cheese curds. And since I don't have to worry about tomorrow, a 18 pack of busch. I haven't had a beer in almost 3 years.
