  1. Oh, another way of looking at things: Lots of bad ideas start in Europe and come here after about 10 years. Look at what those countries are doing to farmers, and what farmers are doing back. Manure pumped onto government buildings is.....mostly peaceful I guess.
  2. 3. Supply and demand? I agree/that's my point. Why are subsidized farmers outbid by a factor of 4? Government policies that prefer solar panels over farmland. Take that to it's "logical" conclusion. The power company MUST buy high priced solar energy while lessening cropped land. I hate to sound like I'm raining on the Tesla parade. I'm rather glad you can enjoy performance for less fuel cost. I'm frightened/saddened/angry that the general population is not catching on to the outcome of these energy/carbon regulations....if the same "logic" continues, the vast majority of Americans (possibly the world) will be living like it's 1820 while the "elites" still jet-set.
  3. ^ No wonder the dude is ripped, he's flexing just pushing a gas pedal. He'd be HULK if he could drive a stick shift. lol Relaxed muscles react much quicker than tense muscles, BTW.
  4. TVA claims a goal of "Net Zero" by 2050. Look at how they claim to get there. I stand by my conclusion that this is going to change the way our children live vs how we lived. I don't mean they'll be in electric cars vs ICE 60s GTOs, I mean energy will be so expensive they won't be able to take a "Sunday drive"....and perhaps they have travel distance limits per person per time period. And food will cost more/be scarce for the poor. The very wording of the TVA site indicates to me they've been neutered by the climate extremists. https://www.tva.com/environment/environmental-stewardship/sustainability/carbon-report List of former TVA coal power plants. Several closed due to "environmental impacts". https://www.tva.com/energy/our-power-system/coal/plants-of-the-past And TVA buys power to sell...they aren't making enough. Hmmmm....
  5. I'm taking actions and ideas to their logical conclusions. I didn't use "news media" for any of the info that lead me to conclude that climate extremists (always Democrat) have put policies in place that power companies are mandated to follow. Those policies are increasing the cost of electricity and increasing the cost of food. How much farmland around you has been turned into solar panels? Do you find it "odd" that a partially subsidized farmer is out-bid on land rent by a factor of 4 by a "solar company" claiming to have pre-sold the electricity it's projected to make? Have you signed a petition lately No media involved on my end. Your data shows TVA buying 15% of it's power from other people. Why is that?
  6. State inspections document failing bridge for a few years before it failed. Excellent gub'ment.
  7. I reckon I'm a Christian Nationalist now.
  8. I saved several storm windows from my old house remodel to make cold frames. I'm spread too thin to have accomplished that. And even if I had, kids would have broken them already. Even if not broken there'd be about a 1/1,000,000 chance that seeds could get sprouted and thrive for a few weeks without being either frozen or baked by improper operation.
  9. For real. IMO, that's a MAJOR part of the problems in our country....the loss of things previously passed down.
  10. I would appreciate learnin' from you. I'm good with the tractor, beyond that it's a mess.
  11. The reason tomatoes tempted me was my wife bought some cherry tomatoes she really liked. I wanted to grow that variety.
  12. Electric cars are a dead end road. Research the reduction in coal fired power plants. Research the $$$$$$$ being dumped (our tax money) into solar panels taking over farm land. Your kids will be hungry when they're 20 years old. The USofA is doomed. (No exaggeration on my end.)
  13. Sure, like the E in GMEMD.i Point taken. But if you empty the diesel you get no E.
  14. Carrots, wintertime?? Educate me.... I'm toying with planting some seeds for 'maters soon. I know they'll sprout in the window sill and die of hydration issues....
  15. Wow (to the 5th power). Welcome to the movie Idiocracy.
  16. ^ I don't recall that....
  17. Try to have a midair...
  18. New hunch, the test for p0753 is GARBAGE. It only tests the circuit for the 1-2/4-5 solenoid, and only gives possible failures of that circuit or the computer. News flash to the fine folks who wrote that garbage, improper power supply can cause that code. Thanks DiamlerChrylser. (And the wiring diagrams have several wrong colors and some wrong terminal numbers. That's REALLY handy.)
  19. This is great entertainment.
  20. Like to argue???? I do not! lol Even the video maker said the Tesla is doing awesome work. I agree; it's powerful and impressive. But why the false advertising? They are misleading on the drag strip test, and I didn't believe the pulling test when I saw it....but I haven't seen a breakdown of that vid to prove/disprove their claims.
