Not only that, but current electric production will not keep up with the demand of an all EV populace. Not only that, but an EV can't go as far as a gas car, takes considerably longer to recharge as opposed to gas up. Not only that, but EVs can't pull a trailer very far which is not manageable for businesses and truckers. Other than these little issues, they are great. My personal opinion is that hybrid vehicles are a better way to go at this time. At 50+ mpg, that is a good step forward while the other EV technology matures. My Passat TDI gets 40 mpg and I can get that to 44 mpg if I am careful with the throttle. This is on back country roads, not freeway driving. Mileage would probably be better on freeway. I use freeway infrequently. mspart

He was involuntarily committed for mental health issues. At that time, the judge could have taken away his firearms and be well within the confines of established law. Did the judge do that? He was a known firearms instructor, army reservist, etc. It seems that there are laws on the books not being enforced in the first place. So what is the answer to this? mspart

Yes, make sure they are only sanctioned BB games. Better yet, just don't play BB. Silly game that. mspart

When you say it might have been a failed rocket one time, and that evidence shows it was an Israeli rocket 100 times (I may be exaggerating), it seems a bit disingenuous to say I am projecting. mspart

And hence your position is that Israel did it. So your position is a lie. You have already determined Israel did it. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/22/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-hospital-evidence.html https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/18/politics/us-intel-gaza-hospital-blast/index.html https://nypost.com/2023/10/18/all-of-the-evidence-that-shows-hamas-was-responsible-for-hospital-explosion/ https://www.businessinsider.com/gaza-hamas-israel-lessons-learned-hospital-bombing-media-propaganda-2023-10?op=1 Read these, you might learn something. mspart

You can say this if it makes you feel better. But you are not providing the different explanations, but one explanation. And presenting that as truth. Your position is it was Israel that did it, no matter the evidence that shows it wasn't. mspart

Why did this guy have access to guns with his background? In most places, it would be illegal for him to have guns with the mental issues he's had. I believe we have laws on the books to prevent this. Why are they not being enforced? mspart

It is true that whatever one wants to believe is what one will believe and one will find sources that promulgate that belief. All evidence to the contrary. mspart

But are they correct? They can say what they want, but are they correct? Even Hamas folks said it was theirs. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-releases-intercepted-hamas-call-on-hospital-explosion/

What do y'all think? We finally have one. Is he better than nothing? mspart

Ha ha!! I'm too short to post questions on here. We have both a head and assistant coach at ASU that are height challenged. They seem to be doing fine. mspart

Johnson is the new speaker, 220-209. First vote. This guy knows how to get things done. Or even the Rs were tired of being viewed as complete jerks. mspart

True. He's being charged for being Trump while Candidate. That's my $0.02. mspart

I never thunk I'd see it done. Wow is right! mspart

Is that what Trump is charged with? Voting R? mspart

Ultimately, this is correct. Any marriage conducted by a religious person (pastor, bishop, etc) has to have sanction from the state to do so. And all such must be submitted to the state for recognition. No different that a Justice o peace. But on the other hand, many religious and religions feel that marriage is sacred in a religious sense. You could include Christian, Jewish, and Muslim in those categories. Marriage is bigger than just a government construct. mspart

And it took a guy from Ohio to tell us this. If he can figure it out, it seems reasonable to suggest that anyone can figure it out!!! mspart (PS - Just having fun with you OE. I really liked the post. Very clear and concise and right on.)

My take is perhaps some want her arrested. A good deal more feel like Bigbrog and just want her out of Congress. I think that would be sufficient. Does this raise equity questions? No. Lots of Ds want certain R's out of Congress and lots of Rs want certain Ds out of Congress. That is equity. mspart

I really liked the Ides of March inclusion. mspart

I figured Jordan would get there. Apparently not. That secret vote was a killer. Well, that's the way it goes. Who's up next? mspart

Steve WKN. Good to know you!! mspart

mspart

Appears so. But one of them being Undead, you never know. Might be getting help if you know what I mean. mspart

This is the old Bob we all know well. mspart

WKN = Steve! Whoda thunk? There's only a billion Steve's out there so your secret is still probably safe. mspart
