Our "around town" driving (thus charge at home) is about 6000 miles a year. With our current "around town" vehicle and current fuel prices, we spend less than $1k per year on fuel. Based on a quick search, a similar sized EV starts at $55k, current model of our car starts at $42k. Pay now or...

Didn’t pass judgement on more or less expesive than petrol model. My brother has a Tesla and a Cadillac EV. My SIL commented, in the winter, their trip to CO from NY cost more to fuel the Caddy vs a similar size Honda something it replaced (this is pre-war gas prices). Plus takes several...

You dodged a bullet; my niece's husband drives one and doesn't like the cost to keep it charged. YMMV

It's interesting reading about the hostility towards bike riders. I have never witnessed it; I've never seen "the lycra gang" acting like they own the road. Typically very respectful of blocking traffic and bike lanes are non-existant around here; they are starting to add bike lanes in town...

I traded my 10 y.o. Silverado in with 120k and original brakes; that's not terrible.

I don't know these systems, but that ahould be part of the control system to do automatically.

Screw up a fad??

Broadness goes in multiple directions.

In keeping with the thread topic, helping people transition to a more well-rounded life.

My daughter and brother have Ego mowers. Both would never go back to gas. My brother actually has 2 (one for each property). Over an acre mowed each; I think he has 2 batteries and does each without recharging. They do not appear to be very good mulchers. Brother also has Ego snow blower...

Anything that calls a future election over 2 years away is speculation. Rubio was actually my choice in 2016. I'd like to see him with Haley (my 2024 choice) in 2028.

With Rubio at the helm in 2028 the correction will help KAGF.

Should rate of death be the predominant criterion for all decisions/regulations?

I'm very simple compared to you. Just like a kitchen knife that gets a pass over a steel every use and maybe once a year gets on a sharpener, unless you hit the dirt with the chain a quick pass with a file should keep the chain cutting efficiently. I don't cut like I used to, but when we were...

If they made them out of plastic they could be washed and recycled. Full disclosure: if waste needs to be washed/rinsed it goes in the trash here.

I would guess Amazon wouldn't want the liability of reusing packaging from unknown background.

If everything packaged in plastic was packaged in treated cardboard [or pick any other material] instead would it be better to have 90% of your waste as that material instead? Or are you saying we shouldn't be eating stuff that is [or needs to be] packaged?

That is not the reason I buy either. Back then, my tenants were not on assistance either; thus, did what they needed to do to survive. Great people. I didn't know what a Tomra machine is and after googling it it must be less expensive than using people. Although we've lived in a non-deposit...

Deposits are a value to the economy. We had tenants (40 years ago) that reliably got $ to pay rent by picking up cans in the park on weekends. We used to pay for gas to visit my brother in MI by returning IA cans when we got there (.05 vs .10); gas was cheaper then.

It depends.
