    2024 Chevy Blazer RS

    So about 12 kw per day for normal commute. Here that would run $3.24 per day. Roughly a gallon of gas. So I use about twice that in gas (50 mile commute). I do have a bank of 2000w of solar panels, but no way they could put out 12kw in a day. Maybe 8kw on a good day. But of course I cannot...

    But the question is, how many KW is used overnight to get to 80% charge? I have never gotten any answers from anyone on this. My ICE would sound great if I put only 1 gallon in the car every night. That would get me to work and back. So 3$ a day or ??

    2024 Chevy Blazer RS

    Been looking for a compact car for the past 2-3 months now. Nothing on the lots within driving distance. I found one toyota about 50 miles away but they would only give me 24 hours to buy it or I would lose the 500$ they wanted to "hold it". They said all the compacts are presold before they...

    Awful lot of empty space inside the doors no? Can that be incorporated into the interior space?

    Diy Hands On Projects

    After two years of building and rebuilding, I have the wind turbine back up, climbed the pole last night putting the motor up (40 pounds) and was going to just leave it there and bag it up as it is supposed to rain today, but then decided to try to fit the tail, and it went on so well I decided...

    Odds & Ends And All Things That Don't Fit Anything Else

    Could be a "fusion center" also then. They like to hide them under vague terms like "technology infrastructure". Or a cloud server farm. Depends on where they get their funding from. If private funding, then a mining operation is probable, especially if the electricity rates there are lower than...

    Odds & Ends And All Things That Don't Fit Anything Else

    Which is what? a server farm? Bitcoin mining? Making 5G towers?

    I was looking into VW as well. Of course in the past they had a good rep, but most car makers I have seen these days have declined drastically in quality on all models. In my mind, nothing compares to the quality of cars you could buy in the 80's, and they couldn't compare to the 50's. My 1957...

    2024 Chevy Blazer RS

    I liked the dodge 300, but those are out of my price range. Cheap, non CVT, no frills is all we want, but seems everyone around here is out of stock.

    Exactly the purpose of using coordinates in RV, no preconceived notions of what you will find. The issue with RV is that without a "scribe", remembering things you see is an issue since you are at that state of semi sleep where it is difficult to write anything down, although I suppose a tape...

    Fascinating. I have experimented with remote viewing, seems to work to some extent, I did experience all the "phases" as the field of view came into focus, still don't know exactly where I was as I had just gone to a set of coordinates I had randomly picked over Europe. I have been a...

    2024 Chevy Blazer RS

    Just a bad Eco-Tech turbo engine. Pretty poor write ups on the major car reviewers for power and longevity, thats why I started looking at Kia, but it looks like the base version of the Soul just has a 6 speed auto, as soon as you add options (like the EX version) it goes to CVT. Fords seem to...

    2024 Chevy Blazer RS

    I had a first year Nissan Rogue, (not really mine, I just cosigned for it for my stepson), first year for CVT in that vehicle. CVT went at 59000 miles. fixed under warranty (barely), then they had to extend the warranties on the transmission for another 3 years. Horrible transmission, now its...

    Ah, yes, George Ure's "Dimensions Next Door". Always fascinating stuff.

    2024 Chevy Blazer RS

    Yes I know the tier 1's and work with them. As I pointed out, the testing involves cycling through what they give me as the "life cycle" of the vehicle. This varies, but is far less than people think. They are really only interested in making sure warranty costs are kept down, not eliminated...

    2024 Chevy Blazer RS

    I would never buy a stop-start car. As a shade tree mechanic from the time I was 12, I see much excessive wear on starter, battery, solenoids, and flywheels. I have 13 traffic lights on the way to work. So 14 starts each way (if I had such a vehicle). Thats times 2 since I have to return home...

    As far as time travel, I did read a good book on "The physics of Time Travel" a few years ago, which detailed all the issues with it and then explained how to overcome each, and then explained how to make it work with the technology "we have now". That book is somewhere in my library but I was...
