  1. Should start a drought thread... Another excellent, informative video about Hoover Dam and Lake Mead:
  2. Cool video... Getting near "Dead Pool" where they won't be able to produce power anymore @ Hoover Dam:
  3. BUT... I see more running away.
  4. Wow... What to you see... Which way is this person running? Away from you or to you? The article: https://m.jagranjosh.com/general-knowledge/optical-illusion-do-you-see-a-man-running-towards-you-or-away-from-you-1653720230-1
  5. Nice! Nothing like religious statuary to grace a garden. Stick a bird on his shoulder & have a lamb by his side like this dude has:
  6. I'd be more worried about drastically dropping Lake Mead elevations and it's role on power production. Things ain't looking good for the SouthWest...
  7. Take away my inhibitions Take away my solitude Fire me up with your resistance Put me in the mood Storm the walls around this prison Leave the inmates Free the guards Deal me up another future From some brand new deck of cards Take the chip off of my shoulder Smooth out all the lines Take me out among the rustling pines Till it shines...
  8. Agree. Hope all is okay!
  9. Yeah... Steady corporate presence wasn't as big... Even worse in WNY. Somebody would usually buy up the last bunch. Burden was getting individual butts in seats... NFL is a big corporate whorehouse now.
  10. JAX playoff game was blacked out too...
  11. Hopefully @Gugny can pull it off!
  12. We got rid of the radio system, big ass antenna, and repeaters 20 years ago when cellphones began dominating! 😉
  13. Rut oh! To the Bat Poles! Where's the rest of my International Justice League of Super Acquaintances? @BringBackFergy & @Mike in Horseheads @Beerball 😏 Thank God! PROBABLY some quick thinking dam operator doing their job! 😏
  14. I still picked MLB... Is it still tied to winner league gets WS home field advantage?
  15. Bruuuutal! In there in person!
  16. World Wars will do that...
  17. "There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games." ~Ernest Hemingway
  18. And all it takes is a ball and foot! 😏
  19. Malt liquor in the US urban contemporary market:
  20. Because they could have been faulty? Taken incorrectly, etc... I don't know much about this case. Not sure what kinda tests. If you know you're gonna fail... Always refuse... You're going to jail no matter what. Time is a friend before they get it LEGALLY against your will. Why give them evidence willfully?
  21. The problem I have with EVs, IMO... Is that "fuel source" has a finite service life. No finite service life with fossil fuel. OTHER parts have a service life, but not the fuel itself... Of course, you're using the fuel regularly. Every charge is bringing you closer to a huge battery replacement bill. Not like a fuel pump, etc... Unless they can get infrastructure in place that can swap that battery out in as long as it takes to fuel a car... I will never be happy. Treat EV batteries like you do your propane exchange on your grill. We are headed to hell if they think EVs will work for the unwashed masses. It's an elite thing.
  22. Not sure how it holds up today... But my father would always say: "You got 30 miles when on E." I guess that's right... Most (domestic) cars have a 2 gallon reserve and 15mpg (conservative old school milelage) sounds about right. I still use that rule on older car withOUT algorithm. Reset my trip odometer at fill up time too...
  23. @Mr Info @LeGOATski I have "range anxiety." I always gotta fill up my car @ 1/2 tank... Also have to charge my phone between 40-80%. Is there anything that can help with an EV? Should I see a shrink? 😉 I think this is a popular opinion.
