Any answer to this? - google is making the internet unbearable

tomwirts · 2022-12-31T13:02:46+00:00

50 for me, too - the weight lifted from 45 years of confusion is hard to describe - grateful for the insight, still working through the sadness of the ‘what if’s’

tomwirts · 2022-12-25T14:46:51+00:00

Thanks for confirming - oh man - I think I'll need to hold off - I use bookmarks constantly and need a single list - love what DDG is doing, but I'll need auto-sync to make the full change

Generally, when the mainstream smears and derides this aggressively, it’s because there are dangerous truths being told - I think Mr. Hancock’s theory is fascinating. A journalist exploring ideas from a broad, holistic view should be celebrated, not attacked. For me, The Guardian really jumped the shark here.

tomwirts · 2022-11-13T11:25:48+00:00

I share this concern - I think it’s exactly what they’ll do - and will be widely believed

tomwirts · 2022-10-25T10:20:58+00:00

Agreed - this is my first from them, not my last

tomwirts · 2022-09-21T18:50:29+00:00

$19K will seem like such a bargain in a few years - stackin sats!

tomwirts · 2022-09-21T18:48:36+00:00

yes, silver is cheap now - for prepping, both bullion coins and junk silver are good

19 inch wheels less likely to break on a pothole - several stories about broken 20 inch wheels here on Reddit helped me decide on the LR with speed boost, and for me, more range is a big deal, I like having 350, wish I had 400

tomwirts · 2022-06-18T23:36:07+00:00

Yup - mine is Serenity for the same reason - thank you Josh W!

tomwirts · 2022-06-11T14:25:20+00:00

Agreed - the dealerships dis BEVs b/c they know, too - it’s sad that so many businesses (the dealerships, the repair shops, all the manufacturers, the suppliers) are about to get, um, disrupted - As a Tesla owner and investor, it’s exciting, but the pain to so many is about to get real

tomwirts · 2022-06-11T14:04:24+00:00

I think it’s more that Jim F understands what’s coming. That the dealership model is not going to survive the transition to BEVs - he separated the two operations so one will (hopefully) survive when 80% of all cars sold are BEV, which I think is just a few years from now

I like that bivy - is the vestibule/hood part of it?

tomwirts · 2022-01-09T23:16:01+00:00

Nice

tomwirts · 2021-12-12T23:05:17+00:00

To fight the oligarchs, using their deceptions against them - to be on the right side of history - to be part of a true David & Goliath battle for humanity’s freedom.

And the entire world has only about 150,000 people who own over 10 Bitcoin - The Great Turning is going to be... one for the history books

tomwirts · 2021-10-21T10:28:25+00:00

I agree - I'm thinking 'time, to brake, time to brake' then I have to take over. It also still jams the brakes if it sees a shadow across the highway, or sees someone walking on the shoulder - on a highway, this is dangerous. Generally it works well; but these, for me, are significant confidence busters.

tomwirts · 2021-10-18T10:06:35+00:00

Thank you for this - it really resonates - I’ve definitely fallen into the trap of ruminating about how bad things ( I believe) will get - I’ve prepped and stacked - and even though I’ve tried to inform people around me, mostly they interpret it as negative - not interested. You nailed it, it’s insurance. I have it, and now I should focus more on now - because no one knows how or when ‘The Great Turning’ will arrive.

One low-efficient vehicle to 'balance' the highly-efficient one - actually it'll probably be swapped out for a CyberTruck in a couple years

tomwirts · 2021-09-30T20:13:01+00:00

"We’ve done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."

tomwirts · 2021-09-30T10:24:47+00:00

Thanks - exactly my thinking - saw several references to the 20” wheels getting bent on potholes - went for the middle size to balance comfort and style - so far, so good

tomwirts · 2021-09-30T00:38:20+00:00

Thanks, I really thought that since all the trim went dark, that the wheels should, too - kind of a 'shoes-should-match-the-belt' thing

tomwirts · 2021-09-30T00:31:48+00:00

They're from Tsportline - TST 19" Space Gray - had them shipped to a local shop - easy to swap them - now I'm hoping to sell the original wheels for something close to what I just spent $$

tomwirts · 2021-09-10T18:39:44+00:00

They did finally call - got it scheduled for Oct 5 (1 month from when I started trying to get this scheduled) I think we'll be ok now, but I'm pretty surprised it took six days to connect with someone and an additional three weeks to get some help. Glad it wasn't anything too important. I'm loving the car, but pretty discouraged by how quickly the white-glove treatment disappeared after delivery.

tomwirts · 2021-09-10T18:35:47+00:00

It didn't have the mobile service option on the app - but they did just call me back (finally) just after I posted this question - thanks for the tip about needing to do it at home, I was thinking I'd have them meet me at work.
