    Just for fun...

    Where? I'm on the road right now running the Interstates. Very few EVs on the highway. As we pass (or stop at) fuel stations, dozen Tesla stations sit empty at every one; 3 years ago there were wait lines at every one. People have figured out what EVs are good for, and it's not travel. Nice...

    It's a little perverted that someone outside the group knows this.

    VoIP providers opinions (Ooma Telo?)

    At home, with decent cell coverage, it still defaults to wifi unless wifi in phone is disabled. In the boonies, once signed onto wifi, it just works.

    VoIP providers opinions (Ooma Telo?)

    Who is your cell carrier? With Verizon, at home and in no/poor cell coverage my calls going over wifi. Also use it on cruise ships.

    The transition

    I don't intend to do a full analysis, nor do I care who wins. I've owned both and had no issues with either. For the 1st time in 50 years of owning vehicles, (except a late 60s MG Midget in college) I own vehiles from foreign owned companies Japan and Germany). Full disclosure, I did not watch...

    The transition

    From the theater to our car 3 or 4 blocks, yes; those sidewalks surround low income housing. On our MUP, more often walk than ride. In my neighborhood, walk unless we're driving out of it.

    Yes, we don't carry a gun anytime. The dinner theater we attend is in what would be considered a lesser (not so good) area.

    I agree, there are many great places around the world to visit.

    Even with your perception that this all is a "negative phenomena" still no place better to live, and for those witout TDS, thrive.

    American Customary (a.k.a Freedom) Units vs Imperial vs Metric

    Sure. If I ned a part, look it up or measure if necessary, and order. Don't order many parts, but ordering an "X" for specific model bike is no big deal.

    A data point: one of the display choices on our Sprinter (188 Hp) is Hp and Torque being used. Rolling down the relatively flat highway @ 70mph uses over 25%. Display spends most of its time ~50%. In the mountains, 90% isn't uncommon. I have not seen 100%, but the transmission controller...

    Pretty sure I have never argued against EVs; just that they are not my thing. There is a difference.

    For someone that comments on the cost effectiveness of EV vs ICE, it doesn't make sense to waste $ by buying high price jerky at a gas station.

    American Customary (a.k.a Freedom) Units vs Imperial vs Metric

    When the company I worked for started playing with the metric system, they started by converting still relevant drawings (yes, pre CAD). If you pulled a dwg that had decimal mm, it was old. For me, seperate rulers, digital caliper that is dual with the push of a button. I do very little that...
