More EV fires after salt water flooding
There has been the occasional slip-up when pressed on the moral issues of individual rights where a somewhat direct answer was given. The motives are quite clear.- Bimmerboy

Decision about taking the clear wrap off a 30Q
Don't everybody answer all at once. 😜 I've decided against taking the wrap off. It'll see use as a backup to the other 30Q in a Viking Pro, or in some other way. It's a nice cell, so I'm not gonna' risk messing it up. I'll eventually find a way to use the triple.- Bimmerboy

Decision about taking the clear wrap off a 30Q
I have a SF C2 bored for 18650 but my 30Q is just a little too tight. It gets a little stuck in there without enough free movement for reliable operation. Trying to use it with a Sportac triple. Could'a sworn I had a bored 6P to try, but can't find it. May have even sold it and don't remember...- Bimmerboy

BYD, threat to US automakers or the new VW BUG?
This is the response to praise for machines raising both standard of living and life expectancy for the entire world since the Industrial Revolution. Think deeply of the implications of those words. Human nature and free choice be damned. Debating the tech will get you nowhere. -
Earth Day 2024?
I'll either do nothing, or possibly run some extra incan lights in the house for a bit in protest. I'm not a fan of so-called "Earth Day". The message is always anti-human. -
BYD, threat to US automakers or the new VW BUG?
That is not at all what a free market means. Read some Ludwig Von Mises or something for cryin' out loud. No one is doing anything in your face. Just people trying to live their lives without interference from those who falsely perceive themselves as victims, making vague threats about... -
BYD, threat to US automakers or the new VW BUG?
But I do blame you... for your own words and actions. Not "big oil" or Toyota. I notice a certain lack of accountability and responsibility for some of what you say. I remember in a different thread where you basically confessed that you can't help yourself from responding. That's a conscious... -

I think it'd be great if a lot more members would sign up for CPFUnderground where these discussions are allowed to get a little heavier. -
BYD, threat to US automakers or the new VW BUG?
Getting very sick and tired of how some EV proponents are constantly using the word "fear" to describe how others arrive at their thoughts. My position on government forcing EV's is based on logic, and understanding of individual rights. Not some vague, emotional propaganda word like "fear". -
True cost to run EV like paying $17.33 per gallon if not for $22 billion in government subsidies.
That you equate ICE emissions with the force of government removing choices, telling us what we can't buy, and what people won't be allowed to make shows exactly where you must be fought, and why. It's your position that is dangerous and immoral. It is not your, or anyone else's right to save... -

Arc flashlight is officially out of business...again
To this day, I'd still like a AAA head on one of those extremely rare, rifle cartridge shaped AA bodies made by the guy who basically spearheaded the creation of the RCR16340. A CPF member from way back. I think his real name was John.- Bimmerboy

It's a waste of time quibbling about the tech. The only pertinent issue is the present EV market is being forced at the point of a gun. It's completely immoral. If one wants to fight against it, it's only in the realm of rights and morality where success can be won.
