Except that batteries are lasting much longer than that, whether or not you are able to wrap your head around it. We’ve talked about it recently, here: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/ev-batteries-are-defying-expectations-after-hundreds-of-thousands-of-miles.408624/ So, you’ve...

So, about 0.40/kWh plus a $26 connection charge? 683 kWh is a pretty modest usage, but your usage with the swamp cooler in the summer has to be close to triple that in order to get the bills you’re seeing. If you can’t beat them on the generation side (solar) can you measure the current draw...

Folks - I apologize but there is a misunderstanding going on here - please allow me time to resolve it, and then we can resume the discussion. Thanks, Astro

My comprehension is just fine - you cannot complain about other people criticizing you and then impugn another’s comprehension without coming across as a hypocrite. Which you just did. People aren’t attacking you - they disagree with your point. But going after my reading comprehension, is...

Wait - so, AMSOIL being willing to warranty the performance of their fluid - is proof that it doesn’t work? That’s the most backward argument I can imagine. If they knew it didn’t work - they wouldn’t sell it. Nobody is going to sell something they know fails and then warranty it. That’s...

@Chris142 - you are one of the best candidates for solar I have ever seen. You get a lot of sun. You have high electric bills. You see very little rain. At that cost of electricity, your payback may be in as little as four years. You owe it to yourself, and to your wallet, to at least explore...

No

I know the restrictions because I have filled out many ATF form 4473. I’ve read through the form many times. There’s nothing disingenuous about citing existing law. That is our existing law. We have over 20,000 federal, state, and local gun laws in the United States. That’s not an...

Then, let’s be plain - it is a political trope that guns are more easy to buy than a book - that’s a direct quote from a former president and it was completely false. We prohibit persons who use marijuana, have misdemeanor convictions for domestic violence, felony convictions, are under age...

Functionally universal availability of firearms? That’s not new. Nor is it true. We’ve had nearly 100 years of increased restrictions and regulations on the purchase. Those regulations, national, state, and local, still exist. Have you bought a firearm recently? Or is this just a...

What he spent, and what it’s worth, ain’t exactly the same.

The lot is 5,200 square feet. The lot. Not the house. While I love Telluride, that’s a bit overpriced.

I have already answered that question - I have a 35 year old tablesaw motor, 220v, which runs great. No start up issues. My question was intended to be rhetorical - if this helps, why shouldn't I use it on similar motors? I solved my potential HVAC motor problems by getting new condensers...

20,000 or so gun laws in this country. One cannot reasonably call that "zero". Perhaps another approach besides restricting the gun is in order.

2026Tacoma - you demand proof that it does harm. What proof do you have that it does good? Anything at all that meets the standard you have requested?
