Follow the science...except if it takes you where you don't want to go. Then cover it up, deny it exists, etc. https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/11/health/moderna-bivalent-transparency/index.html

What about Neil Diamond? 🎶 Sweet Caroline (Ah, ah, ah...) 🎵

Herman's Hermits all the way. They rock! Bit of trivia: The Who once opened for them.

In 2019, Gilmour's Black Strat used in the video above sold for almost $4MM.

Understand. However, I rarely buy a car newer than 8 yrs old. I look for quality used cars on which I can do my own repairs, and I take them to a mechanic for a pre-buy inspection. I suspect that as more and more used EVs come on the market, there will be better tools available to assess the...

Yeah, Nugent with his Cat Scratch Fever and Wang Dang Sweet Poontang.

For full disclosure, I also had Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, and Paul McCartney in my 8-track/cassette/vinyl collection.

My problem is that I always buy used. I'm reluctant even to buy a used hybrid due to the battery replacement cost If needed. I'd be even more hesitant to buy a used EV.

This is like a trip down memory lane. Some of the groups I listened to in high school were: ZZ Top, Skynard, Doobie Bros, Boston, Floyd, Supertramp, Tull, Aerosmith, Kansas, REO, Chicago (with Terry Kath), Who, and many others.

Interesting view on the current state of EV manufacturing/marketing here in the US: "At least you’ll know there are others wondering why modern EVs are so needlessly big, heavy and dangerously fast." https://jalopnik.com/the-u-s-is-making-the-same-mistakes-with-evs-that-it-m-1849950812

I am old enough to remember when big pharma was vilified and caricatured as Wall Street fat cats. Said Obama in 2016, "“The pharmaceutical industry oppose(d) any change to drug pricing, no matter how justifiable and modest, because they believe it threatens their profits..." Having worked in...

I use the higher end Harbor Freight wrenches and sockets, etc. A friend provided a HF roofing nailer that worked great for the two roofing jobs I did. But I am reluctant to buy expensive power tools there. I stick with yellow or red (DeWalt or Milwaukee).

Toyota is taking a very measured approach to EVs. https://www.wsj.com/articles/toyota-president-says-silent-majority-has-doubts-about-pursuing-only-evs-11671372223?reflink=share_mobilewebshare

I Haven't been able to find recent numbers, but as of Aug 2021 there were over 200,000 peer-reviewed articles published about Covid-19 by over 700,000 unique authors. For anyone claiming to know what the science "says", have you read all of the articles? Impossible. However, if there were such...
