What do You Think About Hybrid and Electric Cars?

by Village Idiot in

battery technology has been making leaps and bounds in affordability and energy output throughout the past decade.

while pure electric cars currently have limited range, the near future holds prospects for longer ranges.

hybrids, and recently plug in hybrids, have a mileage of up to 50 mpg* giving them a range of 500 miles from a ten gallon gas tank.

Hoser:
I have issues with the current range of electric vehicles. When they can travel up to a thousand km on one charge in 40 below zero temperatures I might consider one.

must...resist...

Ha! A thousand km is only slightly more than the average commute from Berlin to London. Wake me up when a normal person like me can use them for my daily commute from Berlin to Athens in -50C, 7 days straight, on a single 30 seconds charge from a USB port on my old Motorola smartphone. Before THAT happens electric vehicles are not useful for ANY normal person.

uc berkeley administrators canceled a scheduled speech by right-wing pundit ann coulter, saying they can’t protect participants from rioting if it goes ahead.

now i am no ann coulter fan (although the sjw police on here will accuse me of being a fan shortly after posting this), but i am a fan of free speech!

kpop: You ignore my question by bringing up irrelevant stuff like someone calling you a nazi once.. guess what, that happened to me as well. 100% irrelevant...

Once more: The white nationalists at the protest. According to you they were non-violent and only there to protest free speech?

As I said, this was a PEACEFUL Trump demonstration in response to Antifa shutting down free speech by violent force.

A peaceful demonstration by white nationalists and criminals in riot gear with weapons, who prior discussed beating up people, who somehow ending up beating up people, but that is all okay for various reasons you will no longer discuss.

got it.

Imagine how ridiculous I would seem if I had to make these excuses for antifa...

It may surprise you, but I'm not white.

Good on you for bringing up that irrelevant autobiographical fact to avoid my question. Now how do you feel about the white nationalists at the protests? are they also just good guys fighting them evil Marxists?

Yes. Based Stickman was there. He brought backup and wore protective gear and carried a flagpole.

Ah, the goalpost just moved a bit.

Nevermind, so Trump supporters did not just bring banners as you wrote, but also brought riot gear and weapons?

Now, did they ONLY bring sticks, as you wrote, or did they also bring other weapons? (goalpost movement ahead!)

The sole purpose was to defend against the Antifa thugs they knew were coming.

Oh, that's nice. Self defense. And you know this because you are psychic or you have spoken with these people or...?

Is an example of this self-defense like how a grown man, former marine and convicted criminal, jumps out and punching a woman in the face self-defence or is the goal post about to move again?

My dear, that white nationalist was in such danger, from that unarmed woman who was not near him... good that you are there to excuse his behavior.

Anyway, so I won't be able to find people discussing who they will be violent against online or will the goalpost now move some more?

My "premise" is wrong? lol. no, what have I written which is factually wrong?

If we can agree I have written about factually true things then we can get to this so-called "premise".

-Antifa came with weapons, dressed in all black, wearing masks
-Trump supporters came with Trump signs and pro-free speech banners.

Yes or no, was there right-wing activists, clad in black riot gear with weapons at the protests?

FMF: The right is not instigating, you are trying to muddy up the issue to waste time bohm

"Muddy up the issue" lol. What have I written which is false?

Once again do we agree on the basic facts:

Right-wing activists participated in violence at the protests
They went there with weapons and riot gear; some got arrested for bringing weapons
there are images of them using weapons
Right-wing social media had prior been floated with instructions for how to bring concealed weapons to the protest and various incitements for violence against unpopular groups.

Imagine how ridiculous I would seem if you could point to those three things for antifa and I somehow tried to claim that antifa did not "instigate" violence.

Let me ask this clearly to get a feeling of your moral sensibilities: the white nationalist and convicted criminal thug who jumps out and punch a rather small woman in the face did he "instigate" violence?

Kpop: Which things that I have actually written are false?

I wrote that there was right-wing violence at the protests. I wrote that was organized online.

FMF said it was bullshit.

Seems like it is all true.

So now the goalpost is moving and you guys appear to be doing the "I wouldn't do it, but..." routine

Well good on you, but how does that invalidate anything I have written? A right-wing criminal punched a woman in the face during the protests we agree no?

FMF: I personally would not have chosen to hit a 95-pound woman

Okay so someone punched a woman in the face at the protests...

It seems more and more like I was actually right there was right-wing violence, so why did you call that bullshit? Can you acknowledge I was right?

Was it her own fault she got punched in the face by a right-wing white nationalist thug and convicted criminal? Are we really going there? You want to claim a large man, ex-marine white nationalist, is somehow justified in punching a woman because she is on the left?

Once again we are having one of those conversations where I am 100% right on the facts and you go right on to the namecalling (dipshit) and the accusation I am somehow trying to derail a conversation, whatever that is, by posting accurate information you don't like.
