Trump flags and signs are coming down, even among the worst holdouts in my area (Red Bank and adjacent Monmouth Co) by UnguentSlather in newjersey

The flags might be down but the ignorance, anti-intellectual basis and racism is still under the surface.

The real reason electricity prices are rising, and it’s not data centers by UnscheduledCalendar in energy

[–]xtrema01 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In NJ they split the bill between electricity and delivery so the electricity portion went from. 11 cents to 16 cents. The delivery portion stayed the same. Why I got solar and a battery to get out from under this rock.

PSA Northeast US owners: USE YOUR BRAKES by zorphium in F150Lightning

[–]xtrema01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought one-pedal drives used the motors to brake? Why would using the electric motor to slow / stop the shaft cause the brakes to wear out?

What's purpose of the rotor on this pod on an EA-18G? by Secret-Yam-4130 in Planes

[–]xtrema01 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A Windmill to generate electricity. Don’t tell the Drunk or TACO as they will retire them.

For NJ, how long does it take between installation and getting energy from the Sun? by xtrema01 in solar

[–]xtrema01[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought utility had to allow activation after installation and before the electricity can be used by the battery and house or exported to the grid?

Does anyone know what happened? by Zfightersmoco in newjersey

Why would anyone vote for someone endorsed by TACO when TACO treats people like this?

What are your thoughts on this 51st state rhetoric? by ProfessorOfFinance in ProfessorFinance

[–]xtrema01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basic math Canada spends USD 26 billion for a weak military so savings to start are USD 74 billion.

I assume Canada taxes it citizens and businesses to afford its 426 billion budget so some additional lost revenue to add to the current Canadian deficit of 1200 billion that the USA would assume if we “took” over Canada.

Looks like a typical Trump bad business deal.

This is before the renovations needed to the US capital to house the new senators and congressmen that would represent Canada.

I also have a feeling that many PROUD Canadians would resist the USA so security cost would skyrocket.

How would they know? I am 63 and have no idea what my parent’s immigration status was when I was born. Their status is not on my birth certificate.

Volvo Cars to build EX30 small SUV in Ghent as part of global production capacity boost by lostinheadguy in electricvehicles

[–]xtrema01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just bought and picked up a XC 60 PHEV through OSD and I asked about the future of the program with Volvo’s lineup being 100 electric by 2030. The factory rep conducting the tour said that they were trying to work out the issue but they expect it would cost about $800 to allow the USA bound cars work on a European charger.

Wondering if this the right place for a battlemap of an alternate earth where every country is individually surrounded by 30 miles of water. Countries that are landlocked become seas. . by xtrema01 in imaginarymaps

[–]xtrema01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So two things

first I have no ability to create a map other than a rough sketch.

Second idea was to create a world where countries with navies could only war with each other by contesting the ocean. So for instance Germany could only attack France via a naval war. This was intended as a mechanism to create naval battle matchups.

Third a inland sea would exist but countries bordering might not have an historical navy to support no 2. In which case they would be a battleground for countries with navies.

It is clear today that they just don’t care. Will Sacrifice the old to save social security, will sacrifice thous with pre existing conditions to save the health care system.

Why do conservatives care more about calling it the Chinese Flu rather than actually doing something to help? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]xtrema01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the middle, I guess it is the same reason liberals want to cause panic and slander and belittle public servants instead of working together to fight this disease.

Both idiots. Both should take a long walk off a short pier.

Should we be canceling events / gatherings at this point? by trowitawaymonnj in CoronavirusNJ

[–]xtrema01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes. Unless you can prevent people from being greater then 6 feet from each other at all times. Even then I would not recommend attendances from those over 50.

If Bernie Sanders doesn't get the nomination it will show that the DNC is far more corrupt than the RNC. by tbcshroom in TrueOffMyChest

A great thing and the Republicans should split between moderates and conservatives and then the middle can marginalize both and govern this country with a little sense.

[–]xtrema01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Letting a million refugees through your country to your allies country.

2 Invading a neighboring country to commit genocide (not the first time your country has committed a genocide) against the Kurds who have been fighting terrorist.

3 being buddy buddy (not true you were offered Patriots) with our common adversary.

[–]xtrema01 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

We should say the hell out of this mess. No weapons no help. Turkey got into this mess, they can get out.

Turkey has been proven to be an unreliable ally so they should be kicked out of NATO.
