I'm not a sparky because high voltage is terrifying to me. These batteries are not something your gas station employee is supposed to handle. Please correct me if I'm misinformed, but my understanding is that you'd have to

Thanks. I really couldn't care about the votes. Either people understand where I'm coming from or they don't. I'm not in the middle of nowhere. I'm on the outskirts of a decent sized city. I've never lived

Oh, neat. I looked it up and EV's don't need oil changes as such. At least not as often as conventional vehicles. That does help. Still not something I think we could pull off in the next 5 years. The Honda you can piss in and

As far as I can figure with a little too much liquor in me, I drive about 20,000 miles a year for work. Which more or less jives with the fact that I bought this truck at around 170k miles and rolled over 240k miles a month or so ago. So

If it puts anything in perspective, it's about $250 a year to register a vehicle in my state under 14 years old. So consider however much the new vehicle costs, plus sales tax, plus registration on 2 vehicles every year, plus fees on

Thank you for understanding where I'm coming from. I consider myself an environmentalist. I was, in fact, in the biology and ecology field until I realized I couldn't afford to bounce from temp job to temp job for the 10 years b

I can get from one gas station to another on a tank. Barely sometimes, but I can make it. There's stretches I used to drive on a regular basis where the only gas station within 60 miles closed at 5pm. You think Thedford is going to

You going to pay for my tow? The increase in cost to the apartment complex that's going to get passed straight to me on top of the cost of the electric vehicle? How about maintenance? I do most of my own work on our vehicles. I bought

Isn't New York trying to require heavy duty vehicles to be electric by 2045? That's a couple decades, but we can't even get people to adopt commuter vehicles because of the inconvenience of charging. How long and how many v

That makes sense. I knew you could generate wood for fuel in this manner. I think I got my wires crossed and thought I was replying to a comment that suggested it was a form of lumber production. Lumber in my mind, and according to Wikipe

That's pretty bad that they don't have pronouns correctly identified by their case. El and ella are nominative, equivalent to he and she in English. Him and her are objective/accusative/dative (since those cases all us

It sounds like this person is in California making $17/hr. How do you make ends meet like that?

Dunno how to edit, so I'm replying to myself. Please do not throw dog poop in your compost. It's possible to compost it, but you can't just throw it on the pile. And even then you can't use it for food plants as there&

Yes, there is phosphorus in dog waste. Does it contribute to algal blooms as claimed in this article? Apparently, yes, in some areas where dogs are pooping on the edges of water ways. So not really applicable to most people and easily avo

Can I be friends with them too? I've lost contact with some folks who had the best heirloom apples on their property. The trees were likely over 40 years old. No particular variety that my friends knew of. They came with the propert

They are still patented I think, but you can buy the trees now. Some of our local orchards have started growing them and I know you can get the trees from nurseries. I don't know if the big box stores have them. You may have to look

I just have never seen a pollarded tree that produced large enough shoots to be called a pole. A pole in my mind is 4-5" in diameter. Everything I can find says pollarded trees were used to produce fuel and small diameter wood for c

Asked my semi-professional tree dude. He says that the tree was likely heavily stressed 5-10 years ago and that may have forced branch development. May have been a combination of things. Maybe it had a bad season, someone pruned it, mayb

by msrenee 6y ago
Can you point me towards anyone using pollarding or coppicing to produce lumber? That's not at all what I was taught those techniques are for. It's hard to imagine the resulting shoots getting big enough to make boards out of in

Thanks for the link, but it doesn't address any of my concerns about whether it would be safe and effective when administered as a nasal spray. I was curious if you had any studies in the works to identify efficacy in animal models. I

They've got blue and green as well on that website. $60 and it's got a camera though? Hell no.

Somewhat related, but the glue situation reminded me of the time I realized I'm going to need to hire a woodworker if I ever want quality cabinets in my kitchen. I was doing delivery for one of the big home improvement stores and got

Sorry if I came at you a little aggressively there. I'm still getting used to the fact that this isn't reddit and just assumed you were one of those guys who thinks that women are handed everything in life and men are the real vic

I promise you, I was observing either extremely small airplanes or fairly large drones. This wasn't some lights on the horizon. This was a set of lights that looked exactly like a large drone, plus the outline of the vehicle partial

You just brought back memories of the Subaru I had that thought my backpack was a passenger. I'd throw it on the passenger seat after class sometimes without thinking about it. Then about 10 minutes down the road, it would shift and

I thought about the survival aspect too. I'm a very jumpy person, especially when tired. I like to think it's due to heightened survival instincts. When I get surprised, there's often a 2-3 second period where I'm not

I suppose you could frame the Maiar as angels if you want, but it feels like a stretch. If they're angels, then every divine being that is not explicitly god is an angel. There's definitely Christian morality at play in LOTR, but

Do you have any studies in the works to discover efficacy? I'm also a little leery about an oil-based nasal spray. And not convinced that anything administered in this way would reach even the majority of the virus in your body. At b

There's a model of drone listed in the article that is the right size and has the capabilities attributed to the drones we were seeing. We're near an air force base and a lot of people around here are either ex-air force or plane

You mean to say we shouldn't be growing pecans and keeping dairy cows in the desert? That's crazy talk. Seriously though, I was gobsmacked when I found out there was such water-intensive agriculture being done in an area where the
