I don't even know if CVT is correct. Let's say it's the transmission thingy in 2003+ Toyota Highlander. The whole cars were indestructible, but the tranny impressed the most, especially up and down mountain roads.

Because like all churches, they make money from it. Anecdote: I went to a charismatic non-denominational new wave evangelical thing in Maui, for reasons I will not explain, call it amusement. I paid particular attention to the pastor before

The tables will turn on this one. It's not just frivolous, it's damagingly so. World famous album and band beloved by all tarnished by greed and frivolity. Dude will be countersued into the ground. P.S. I once posted a naked bab

I've found that being a bastard in salary negotiations (pushing, not backing down, willing to walk) is the very best way to get promoted , and it should almost always be with a new company. Your existing company knows what you're

If this 665 Tw figure is a yearly estimate, they project 1.8 Tw/day for 2030. That figure includes EV. https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/german-2030-power-use-f...

Yamaha are in late stage development of an EV electric engine said to be competitive with Tesla. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LcZCb06SsxI Their ebikes are swell too: https://www.yamahabicycles.com/bikes&#x2

I agree. We used the Toyota Highlander hybrid in the winter mountains of Colorado for our taxi service. They could go everywhere a GMC 4x4 could (almost), great on fuel, and were virtually indestructible. Toyota's continuously variable

I would starve the very construct of sequestration to start with. It's appeasement. It's “The garbage will keep coming, so let's build more landfills” pragmatism. That won't work with greenyhaasgas. We don't need se

Umberto Eco once wrote that the purpose of your life is what you leave behind. I find value in this in both creating and doing nothing.

Fair enough. The $1M ones are for trafficking. But $15K for weed? That's contempt. That's a Jesse Pinkman meth RV low-ball.

He could be depressed. There are things people simply can't or won't discuss at work; mental illness is one. He could have a drug or alcohol problem. Could drug test him and get him some help if he needs it. That's a bit iffy

Non-emergency dispatcher. It can be fun, a puzzle that changes frequently. Negative on both emergency dispatch and air traffic control. You need ASHD for those, where S = Surplus. A lot of jobs in transportation and logistics. Also, day tra

You're the one asking what he meant. Odd that you seem to be so sure when you yourself aren't sure at all. That was mostly Chomsky on quick summary, but you wouldn't be the first to malign him. Being right, he wouldn't c

He means the slow, grinding processes that virtually eliminated all natives in the Americas, stealing their lands and lives with phony treaties, disease, and war, leading to a most ridiculous zeitgeist know as Manifest Destiny, wherein we w

Logging roads in the national forest are usually fair game, unless otherwise restricted. Those intimidating signs that say “Logging Permit Required” are meant for loggers, so try not to get caught with an industrial chainsaw in your van. Lo

I use an outdoor propane stove with massive BTUs from Camp Chef for my wok. You need big heat for a wok. Makes all the difference, you just have to get used to cooking really fast under really high heat. https://www.campchef.com&

Ask a question. Then another. Then maybe another. Then you're part of the conversation. Then you can make statements if you want. You should have something to say. That always helps. Once you have ground, you don't have to talk fa

It's ruined me to such an extent in that regard that I can't do 9 to 5 at all. I'd just be staring at everybody in disbelief - You work how many hours a week? I don't work that many hours a month! - and would probably

Remember when Google Maps had real zoom? You could count someone's eyelashes from space. The fidelity was so good that it was subsequently reduced. I think it was military/gov objection. To those who were accustomed to the power o

I read A Confederacy of Dunces every few years. It's a fun book. I also love Earthly Powers by Anthony Burgess. Epic saga beautifully written.

I keep it really simple. I look for a national forest on Google Maps and drive there, adapting as needed. I'm generally looking for one sign: Welcome to X National Forest, and then I'm woo hoo! Home sweet home. I don't drive
