  1.  @Gw17bvp28f I’d be worried that going back would be one way.

  2. I don't own an EV, but I live in an apartment so I really don't know if it's practical or even possible to keep it charged. However, I do know Phoenix has a ton of EVs from multiple vendors and I've seen charging stations in a lot of multi story parking lots and at places like the airport - I've no idea, tho, if cars from every mfg can plug into them, and granted I'm not looking, but I've not seen anything like a gas station where one could just fill up with electrons. Anyway, Ive my daily driver Ford Escape dog truck along with a very very clean Buick Lucerne Super (decidedly NOT green) but it has a random noise that comes and goes, and when it comes it drives me absolutely crazy. I would be less than satisfied if my new $50k (or whatever) purchase had squeaks, fit and trim issues, and things like door handles breaking right off the 'lot.' I do know Tesla's continually improving their manufacturing methods to improve the final fit and finish, but if it takes so long to service existing customers' older models...mmm, I don't know about that, that doesn't seem like it would inspire loyalty. I appreciate videos like this. This one really is helpful to me in order to have realistic expectations when I do consider an EV, although until housing prices come back to earth I'd likely go with a hybrid. I did catch a ride in one tho - it did blow me away and I'd have bought one right then and there:). So, I'm glad for awareness on the entire Tesla experience.

  3.  @VOLUMEnightclub  i think he means he'll ditch his Tesla and get an EV from a different manufacturer.

  4. I'm in an apartment, but if I could charge an EV at or near a place I'm knocking out a chore, that'd be great. I'd prolly even take it to a place once a week if it took around 30min, but probably not much longer. I do drive my ICE Escape hardly at all (I've gone a month or even longer on one tank) but if I had to spend $70 every week or so for a commute, that would get really old really quick. Bottom line for me would be first, the dollars, and second, the convenience.

  7. Is there an aftermarket niche that specializes in the proper reassembly of Teslas?

  8. That tune is changing. No one has to pretend they’re ashamed of their country’s colonial history any longer.

  9. That's actually the best solution I've ever come across.

  10.  @CountSacke  the OP is absolutely correct, the waste materials have a tremendous amount of potential to be used, especially in other reactor types. In fact, only 10% of the fissile material is used in the first reaction. The waste is anything but unusable - read more, talk less. You're making a very poor showing of yourself; actually you're kinda embarrassing yourself too.

  11. I would be so bad at gambling that if I was somehow forced to, I’d come out ahead more if I just shredded a $1,000.00 of cash instead of playing the same amount in chips.

  13. Yes! Good analysis and best comment.

  15.  @timetochange724  It's difficult, sad, and embarrassing stumbling on people who actually process thoughts (I can't even call it thinking) like you do. How do you even function in a sane, rational world?

  16. Haha, yup. I still have my IBM3151 and 3153 :)

  17. Go to your fictional fairy land, build a house, raise your own food. Suddenly, your next-island neighbor takes you and and your free land over and makes you a slave on it. If only you had a government charged w protecting its citizens, that you could pay taxes to for that freedom benefit. Idiot.

  18. Man, every time I see a ‘Sabre’ reference, I think, ‘still?’ I’m actually glad to see it’s lasted so long, thinking surely it’s been kept up…. Back when IBM was the shat. Wonder which will be around longer - Sabre or IBM.

  21. SeaCode 5:31 sounds ingenious (for an exploitative corporation). I'm surprised it's ot more of a thing. Maybe it is....

  22. Wait wait, the pic at 2:26 is misleading, as this waste is secondary waste; higher volume, radically lower toxicity with half lifes measured in hundreds of years that contains low level radiation 2:27 items such as gloves, suits, containers, and so on - similar, if not identical to, the low level radiation detritus from imaging devices used within hospitals. The high level radiation stuff is the burnt fuel residuals, currently stored on site at the nuclear power facilities - the volume of ALL high level radioactive waste created by ALL the nuclear reactors in ALL the world could fit inside a room in a house - bedroom, bathroom, living room, I'm not sure. Also, current generation reactors are only able to use 10% of the fissile matter, leaving a lot of that small amount of volume that fits into a room, with potential to be reused. And a lot, if not most, of 4th gen reactors are to use the current waste as fuel, and to burn nearly all, if not 100%, of that waste as fuel, creating a small amount of waste with half lifes of around 300 years. That picture is is pretty misleading - at the very least, some context of the volume of the low level waste portrayed in the photograph should be explained. There's a pretty significant story behind it, and it is not unfavorable to nuclear. Even if we didn't reuse the high level waste, there will be so little of it especially when compared to the waste from burning petroleum, I do not believe it's an insurmountable problem - certainly not one to stopmusing nuclear over. The comparison of waste amounts isn't laughable, of course, but it is surreal.

  25. This is dizzyingly complex enough to me that no one will ever have to suffer through watching any of my potential utube content I'd create in order to make a living. I'd starve, anyway.

  28. Our dollar (and a lot more) took a hit these past four years. I easily had more confidence in the dollar than I did in the diden administration. Maybe the rest of the world cut us slack? Not sure - it’s been proven the country can run without a functioning executive branch. Certainly without a president and vp. Maybe there’s the answer regarding the strength of the American dollar: this administration was SO incompetent, it couldn’t even over-fuck up the Fed? It was certainly so incompetent it could fuck up a wet dream.
