I was at a town hall meeting for the little town I live in. There was a line item to discuss the installation of a flock camera. A quip rang out from the crowd when it was mentioned: “Have you seen a stop sign without a bullet hole in it in the area? Do you think that camera would somehow not be shot?”
Pole shortener. Can pick them up at any hardware store.
Do they have to be autonomous? Because your idea sounds fun.
The bigger issue is that every fire department has the equipment to put out a gasoline fire, but not many of them have the equipment to put out a battery fire.
It’s not that odd.
Gasoline and diesel cars have been around and commonly used for 100 years. Every fire station from New York to obscure towns in Arkansas have the equipment to deal with burning hydrocarbons.
Not many fire departments have the equipment handy to put out a battery fire. Some bigger departments do, but not all.
So when Jim Bob puts his truck in the ditch and catches it on fire after a Saturday night at the bar, the local volunteer FD can just roll over there and put it out. But when someone’s EV catches fire, oftentimes all that the local FD can do is make sure the fire doesn’t spread to houses or grass or trees in the area, and the car has to burn all the way down.
I’m going to download the uber app when I’m not on some miserably slow internet connection and do the math, because I’m curious if it’s cheaper or not.
Right now, worst case scenario is if I have to drive my Samurai to work. It gets ~20 mpg. With insurance and gas and maintainence put together I’m spending about $4.13 to drive to work for one day.
$1300 for 6 months of car insurance
Yikes. I pay $1400 for six months of car insurance on two cars, both of which have comp, collision, and uninsured motorist coverage.
I have plenty. And I’m not lonely. But when I try to defend lonely fellas online, you say things like “get a hobby”.
You guys are missing my point. Im not talking about incels, I’m talking about people who just call all lonely guys incels. The way everyone is happily downvoting me when I say this are proving me right.
Doesn’t that list also include Iran?
I don’t have to like it, but it’s sort of a sound strategy. The Red Sea is on the way to the Suez Canal, and the world had a demonstration a few years ago about what happens when you block the Suez canal.
I have some chickens, I haven’t had to wait on eggs. I have had to give some to the neighbors though.
I’m reminded of Bender:
“This isn’t even about you”
“That’s impossible!”
I have a cousin who is 100% convinced that the US government or someone is hiding anti-gravity from everyone. Something about wheel manufacturers having a chokehold on the world.
And Tom Morello saying he wasn’t aware they had any non-political songs and would remove any he found.
Those are fine. The fucking cars are ok too, I’m just tired.
See? You are doing it. Be sure to dismiss this response as something coming from an incel, my other half thinks it’s funny.
Yes, but they do tend to get lumped together and dismissed the same.
Nah, lets just call all lonely men “incels” and sweep the problem under the rug, surely that will never be a problem.
EDIT: Thanks for helping me prove the point, everyone.
They only point one direction.
