  1. I honestly really hope we draft Faalele. He moves so well for how big he is. Him at RG next to Brown would be amazing.
  2. Wide right in a super bowl ending. Pretty sure no other super bowl was decided by a wide right miss.
  3. In what universe is Metcalf and Lockett a mediocre roster? If Allen had Metcalf or Lockett as a #2 it’s over and we are instant super bowl favorites. If Russ can’t make it in Seattle, he isn’t going to make it anywhere else with the exception of maybe Tampa.
  4. Not only is Faalele a monster, he has excellent feet and once he locks on to you, it’s over. It’s precisely what we need.
  5. Companies are not doing enough in terms of externalities. They design a product and don’t care where it ends up. There is no “away” . Plastics ends up in bodies of water, pollution runoff via air or land. The problem is, even if you tax or regulate businesses, they will roll the costs onto the consumer. Our whole systems need critiquing, but that is frowned upon by a lot of people. Even saying things like consume less will get you labeled a commie.
  6. Consuming less isn’t promoted because it hurts how our economic system operates. Businesses need sales and they need a throw away society to perpetuate said sales. Nothing last anymore, refrigerators and many things used to last 30+ years. I fully understand I’m (we) all contribute to the problems. The problems won’t go away until we all sit down and try and find solutions. Nuclear fusion is a big step into helping things out. It’s the most efficient energy form and it’s cleaner than fission and can run on elements that we have hundreds of thousands of years worth of supplies. Things will change because they have to change. Necessity is the mother of all inventions.
  7. Nuclear fusion is potentially the key to humankind’s future. But we are likely at least another 30 years away from it even remotely coming online in any meaningful way.
  8. Im not saying EVs are “super green” . Nothing is super green, however factoring in everything, EVs are technically the “cleanest” technology we have. I don’t think we have much of a choice, EVs are going to be the predominant form of transportation because it has to be. We need to save what oil/gas we have left for things that are not easy to replicate (asphalt, plastics, etc). I’ve worked in the gas industry I’ve also worked in the renewables industry. Energy is not free, there is some form of pollution with every type. What we do know is oil/gas reserves (both proven and TRR) have limits and the world’s consumption rates are not sustainable without new forms of energy. I’m sure nuclear will make a comeback, but they need to figure out how to process or dispose all that waste as well. Nobody wants another love canal.
  9. Not sure why people are against EVs anyways. Even if it wasn’t for the environmental side of things. There is only enough oil/gas for about 120 years given current rates of consumption around the world. Fossil fuels are not infinite. The costs of recovery are increasing due to deeper formations. All the easy oil and gas is gone. This country would be smart to transition to EVs ASAP, and keep the oil and gas that we do have left in strategic reserves. Because we are going to need it for future asphalt, plastics, etc as an emergency.
  10. Elon has already stated he wants to transition away from cobalt used in the cathode. At the very least away from Congo cobalt. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2020/9/22/21451670/tesla-cobalt-free-cathodes-mining-battery-nickel-ev-cost
  11. Most of lithium mining is surface mining. Usually desert salt flats.
  12. Not necessarily. EVs, from cradle to grave still have a lower footprint, even if powered by coal generated electricity. This is due to the greater efficiencies of electric generation/transmission and electric motors. Lithium mining still polluted less than hydrofractured oil/gas. MIT and others have already make very good calculations on this. EVs are the cleanest, especially if they are powered by solar and renewables. Most of the batteries are able to be recycled and the majority of the metals are recoverable.
  13. Why would anyone buy a Tesla outside of it’s warranty range full knowing that batteries are the most expensive to replace. While most Teslas will last well over 100k miles as battery degradation on average is reliable, it’s still a big risk to buy an old model past warranty. Something isn’t adding up in the story. It says he bought it in 2013 (assuming new), and it was fine for the 1st 1,000 miles. Tesla S are warrantied 150k miles or 8 years. Sounds like he used the Tesla well up until this year and it fell past the 8 year warranty. If you are getting 150k miles on a car, that’s about average before things go downhill.
  14. For how does one score 1.1 touchdowns? That’s if someone throws an Asian adult toy on the end zone during a touchdown.
  15. Don’t know, but it would explain the angst. I get upset with this team all the time and probably will until we win a super bowl. Only explanation I could think of.
  16. If someone throws an adult toy on the end zone during a touchdown.
  17. I’m glad we have Jerry Sullivan here. Sometimes it’s needed to be an *** to light a fire under underperforming teams. The goal is to win a super bowl, and I’m glad there are people out there that expect it and keep that standard.
  18. found on Russian dump? Or heinous American rat trash?
  19. Faalele is a monster. He’s my top choice.
  20. Allen is the only QB to ever have a no punt game against BB. End of thread.
  21. Pretty sure he paid their training at the Southeast lineman college.
  22. Ike is 6’6 . And he is currently our LT, but I feel like Dawkins is better suited for LG. Faalele is a monster and so is Penning. I’d love to have them on our team.
  23. He bought Orchid spa and made the linemen part owners.
