The Flood / Re: Have you traveled? If so, where?
« on: October 22, 2015, 08:04:47 PM »
Most of the US. I frequent Kansas these days because my girlfriend is out there for work. I've only ever been to London for international travel. Vancouver is on our to-do list this spring.

Getting a tattoo sends them to hell, anyway, so what's the point?

Well uh we shouldn't have the death penalty, painless or not.
Well, obvs. But that's not what we're discussing here.

426
Execution should be carried out in the quickest, most humane manner. Not torture, fire, drowning, explosion, etc.

The government is not in the business of retribution, just punishment.

Playing the devil's advocate here, but death by explosion would be pretty quick and painless. Just messy to clean up
I suppose you're not wrong. Seems overkill for a simple execution where a bullet to the head would suffice.

If Bernie can upgrade from spreading the message to explaining the message, I think he'll see a more significant increase in support.

I doubt they'll become the standard and replace gas cars until battery technology is revolutionized. The lithium ion and I believe nickel metal hydride battery isn't really cutting it, so the overall chemistry needs reevaluated.
Batteries in their current state aren't efficient enough due to the recharge rate, and power output vs longevity.

Tesla makes a good performing EV though regardless. And I do hope gas cars are replaced eventually.
Actually the batteries are fine for most people's needs.
In the real world, EV's would need to meet everyone's needs, hence changing the standard. The fact is they don't, and there's literally no incentive to buy them when you can get a gas car for cheaper, that's more efficient, and better infrastructure. I could show a simple graph represting energy output of the common battery relative to gasoline and it wouldn't even be a contest.
The attractive part of an EV is the cost of fuel per mile I drive. If I'm paying $3.50/gal at the pump right now, paying a fraction of that for a full "tank" on an EV is tempting. It may cost more to buy an EV, but the cost of ownership is less - lower cost of fuel and less maintenance.

How exactly do they make electricity? If its by burning coal, then whats the fucking point in the first place? If its solar, ocean current, wind generated - then fuck yeah electric cars!
EVs get their power from whatever you charge them from. Some power stations are run on solar. Some are just connected to businesses/houses.

Meh

I doubt areas like mine will have the stations to support long-distance driving with electric cars for a long fucking time. Doesn't really get us off our fossil fuel use either unless we decide to finally restart a nation wide nuclear power program. That juice gotta come from somewhere, man.
I would love to see Solar Energy efficiency maximized. I know right now it's only 20% effective.

Agreed. Also using our real estate more effectively. There was a video a while back about converting roads to solar cells. While the technology is a ways off, we should be investing heavily in it.
That video was awesome. Especially with the LEDs in the road that change depending on conditions/needs

I honestly don't see the point in owning one.
I mean, if you're the kind of person who drives 400+ miles a week, it probably isn't for you. But if you don't drive much and want to cut down on costs, it makes sense to consider one.

I'm genuinely considering an EV for my next car. OC has a ton of charging stations around, many even free. I'd love to cut down on my expenses by not having to buy gas. I'm waiting until the more economical EVs have better range, though. Most top out around 100 miles right now. When we start seeing a Leaf or something with 250+, then I'm interested.

Poor example. Ever have a mental word block and try seraching for the thing you know that you should know, but can't remember? Google doesn't help for that either.
Google is actually really good at finding things like movies when you search even the most basic plot points

Then you should probably kill yourself.
But some people really think that.
Damn, it's almost like I was parodying it.

They're unfit for society. There should be a law to eliminate sociopaths and psychopaths at birth, once detected.
RIP OP

What are you implying?
That you're a sociopath/psychopath. I thought that would be pretty clear. Apparently not.

I was asking so you'd give a specific answer because there's TWO options there. Which one, smartass?
Yes.

Alright, I'll just add your name to the list
Thank the fucking gods.

For what?
oh I assumed it was a list of people you weren't going to respond to anymore. Which list am I on?

I have no such list, but I guess you're going to find out the one you're on eventually
threats aren't cool, bud

There's no threat anywhere you dolt. This isn't a Hollywood horror movie
considering how you talk to me on this site, I highly doubt whatever list of yours I'm on is a good thing for me. And considering your proximity to me, I wouldn't put it past someone to personally do something to me.

Surely you see how your posts read a threatening, yes?

Nope. I just think you're an idiot.
well maybe you have an "idiots I'm going to kill" list. I don't know.
