  1. You have any evidence of that, or you just like how it feels? I'm sure that range anxiety plays a big part in some peoples' decision to not get an EV, but there are plenty of EV offerings that'll outlast most bladders on a road trip. The specific model I'm looking to buy isn't there yet, but will be soon enough. You can dig in your heels on the Luddite angle and celebrate every tiny setback of EV's along the way, but there's a finite supply of old dinosaur blood in the ground...and the whole climate change thing, but I know that's not your jam
  2. How frequently do you buy new vehicles? Rather than asking if somebody owns an EV right now, a better question may be if their next vehicle will be an EV. Personally, I’ve driven Minis since 2009 and I’m holding off getting a new car until the Mini 2025 SE drops. The range on electric Minis up till then is pretty crap.
  3. L@@KS like you’ve got a bad case of BDS!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. That assumes that they’re able to think past the current news cycle, which I think is giving them more credit than they deserve.
  5. Maybe, if he’s got the bandwidth to focus on anything other than the Cohen testimony in the fraud trial today.
  6. My understanding was that the game plan wasn’t necessarily to remove her, but rather to exploit a loophole in the constitution that states the justice cannot ‘practice office’ while impeachment is ongoing. So they impeach her, then drag their feet to slow-roll the process while she’s effectively stuck on the bench (or off the bench, as the case may be). Either way, I’m glad they’re not pulling the trigger on that whacky scheme
  7. That argument would pack a little more punch if he wasn’t hot on the heels of a visit to a legit war zone to convey both the support of the US to the Israelis along with a message of restraint to BeBe. But keep on your feed of independent news from Fox
  8. That's the kind of spin that'll make a fella dizzy
  9. Good to see your playbook hasn't changed...holding up a caricature (or 9 caricatures) of 'the woke' as evidence that anybody who's not in lockstep with you on the issue doesn't have a valid point. Ron White was right indeed.
  10. Well for one it's not yet the 2024 elections so your gloating, as it so often is, is ridiculously premature...For two, I'm sorry to see you're back and it seems like time to exercise the 'ignore' button
  11. I'm looking at taking a X-country (or roughly half the country) road trip. Thinking about renting a car from TX and heading for a coast over a couple of days, then flying home. As jumpers travel lots, I figured somebody on here might have some tips/suggestions for doing this without getting bent over by the rental company for a one-way fee. A Google search on this just results in 3 pages of ads from companies offering one-way rental. Anybody have any experience/suggestions on this? Could go either way as far as driving to the coast/flying back to TX vs flying to the coast/driving back to TX. Cheers!
  12. Yeah they’re gonna put it through the same unimpeachable process that gave us Speaker Kevin McCarthy….
  13. You don’t understand the difference between blatant lies vs changing one’s stance based on new information?….of course you don’t, forgot who I was talking to for a minute. Read my lips: no new taxes.
  14. After you posted a graph that was showing made-up numbers while trying to appear to be from a legit source, we entered the “Brent’s still at it with this BS” phase. I don’t think anyone was angry.
  15. WOW, a CHART?!?!?! You really knocked it out of the park this time Brent! I guess the URL pasted at the bottom is supposed to make you think this data came straight from the EIA. I looked through the actual EIA report that's linked there (here it is, FYI) and I don't see any of these numbers mentioned there. I'm not sure if they did some weird manipulation to make those numbers from the report, or if they just pulled them out of thin air, confident that people like you would run with it without checking anything. Which is it?
  16. Because Brent likes corn, and he’s got some sweet neck moves?

    That's a pretty slick one-liner until you stop and think about for a second.

    Just imagine if, at any/every point along the way until now, we'd just stopped at the current greatest thing instead of moving forward.
  19. That's the exact goal of the R's in this case. Trump is an obvious - and admitted - criminal who tried to extort a world leader to dig up dirt on Biden, and then incited an insurrection at the Capitol as part of a wide-spread 'whacky scheme' to reverse the results of an election he lost. That's why he was impeached. No doubt Hunter Biden had some issues in his past, but I don't have any idea what that has to do with impeaching his dad. The R's can't even articulate the crimes for which they're trying to impeach Biden, but no doubt a large chunk of this is northing more than an attempt to confuse uninformed voters into shrugging their shoulders and writing the whole thing off as political theatre. "Both sides are just going after the other's leader" Since we all know that you're the least uninformed person on this forum, I guess you're just ignoring the differences outlined above and spreading the word of the R's?
  20. Just poor, innocent, victim Slim getting time-outs for a sin no greater than posting while conservative...And maybe - just maybe - also the sin of loving too much.
  21. Look at some of the big-ag kit tag’s using AI for weeding and precision herbicide spray. How many fewer laborers are required due to that technology coming online.
  22. ....and he's pretty sure that's because a Dem stole it.
