The uptime and lifespan on electric vehicles is exceptional compared to ICE powered stuff.
Was looking at some numbers on that.

I knew charging was slow but I didn't know it was that slow.

Dad used to joke that the inside of his tank was probably stained.
Guys used to plumb the diesel tanks in the beds of their trucks into their fuel lines and keep road diesel in the actual truck tank. They started checking at the injection lines because of that.

Multiple jurors have since told the Associated Press, Newsday and the Daily News at the time that the holdout was an unemployed man who allegedly wanted to extend deliberations to continue receiving three free meals and a $15 daily stipend from the court. “He was unemployed and liked the $15 a day and the three free meals,” juror Valerie Holmes told Newsday following the 1991 verdict. Holmes described the man as “very determined” and “manipulative.”

7% Mortgage Rates 30-Year
So below average for the last 50 years.
Over the last 50 years, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate in the United States has been approximately 7.70%.

Friend, do you plan to narrate the Audiobook version? Would love to hear these stories in your own voice but if not I would like to recommend my good friend George Guidall. Really sad that Roy Dotrice passed away as I feel he would have been perfect for this endeavor.

It is dumb but there are people around who think nothing of losing $100,000. Know a guy from Louisiana who gave his son and son’s friend $100,000 to play with at a casino.

this seems to have been a stupid woke thing that the UN did just because African countries thought that Mercator was racist.
So every UN member country except the US voted to use Mercator because African Countries think Mercator is racist. I think you may be confused about what is actually going on.

To be fair If you have zero insurance/property tax but still have a mortgage payment you do not own your home. The mortgage company owns your home.

I know a guy who shot directly at a game warden and didn’t even get a fine. This was back in the early ‘80’s and he and a buddy were shooting wood ducks roosting in a beaver swamp. They saw the game warden approaching across an open field and took off running. The warden was gaining on them so they turned around and peppered him with shot. The warden stopped chasing and went back to his truck and got on the radio and called it in. Local deputy picked my buddy up right down the road. It went before a judge and the judge said those boys were too young to have their lives ruined over shooting some ducks. Never mentioned that they had shot at and actually hit a game warden. I don’t know if the game warden being black had anything to do with the judges decision but I always suspected that it did.
