Ummmm ... SAID that I don't see Greenland melting, esp
not anytime soon (geologically). Next cool spell will
build up more ice again.

A problem in this thread is that so many people have
said so many things ... they kinda get jumbled together.

I'm well aware of the heat involved in freezing/melting
water ice. It's considerable.

As such, you (and I) are correct that Greenland isn't
gonna suddenly melt. It's one or two MILES of ice
across a HUGE area. Don't care how many movies
Dennis Quaid makes .....

I'm a little bit confused about how they would be able to replace EV
batteries in a few minutes...

Okay, I found some information about it... but, apparently, the Israeli
outfit that was doing it when belly-up in 2013, and Tessla's attempt at this
service ten years ago was unsuccessful. But maybe that's changing. No one is
mentioning how expensive it is to lease these batteries or use this service.

California was almost a "paradise" when my dad moved their in the early 50s.
They've sure managed to screw that up in the following decades.

I didn't like the one Bourne movie I partially watched. That "shaky-camera"
crap gets on my nerves. (I think it was a Bourne movie with the
"shaky-camera" disease — if not, my apologies.)

I've been watching the Jesse Stone movies. More my speed these days.

False, for I made no such comment on this old topic that you've dredged
up. All I did was to note that you're trying to change the subject.

Now the prior subject was on your paranoid rant about government
restricting freedoms, for which my comments are summarized as follows:

* I corrected you on a technology which you claimed was 'proof'; your
reply to which was that maybe it had changed since I worked on it;

* Corrected you on EE power infrastructure cost principles, debunking
your claim that it was associated only with being 'green' (its not);

* Corrected your squeamishness on animal proteins. BTW, here's that
'wiggling food' video I mentioned ... enjoy being culturally repulsed:
<https://photo-hh.com/2023/it_moves.mov>

* Corrected your deflection attempt that was trying to hide a hypocrite.

Noted that you've deflected by censoring (now twice & counting) on:

* I corrected your surrender attempt on mining costs/externalities;

* Corrected your false helplessness claim on geopolitical economics;

* Corrected your claim of concern: its a dildo of consequences of the
very personal freedoms you claim to want: its YA hypocrisy example of
chrisv where he attempts to "have your cake & eat it too".

Nope, you've attempted to do so by snipping portions in your reply.

Ah, so there's the very brave "(snipped, unread)" as was predicted!

And FYI: its another instance of an attempt by you to be a censor.

Yep, and I consider it inconvenient to continue reading their garbage
once it becomes clear that they are neither objective nor a reliable
source of information. If I'm going to be lied to, I might as well get
it from the CNC that I pay for with my taxes.

Well, I was a fan of the Bourne Identity, the Bourne Supremacy and the
Bourne Ultimatum. I even bought Jason Bourne on the Windows movie store
but have yet to watch it. I just like the action. The worst shake-camera
movies I've seen were Transformers and Man of Steel. There, the camera
shakes so much that you have no way of knowing what the heck is going
on. I loved Henry Cavill as Superman but I hated the movie he was in
because of that.

There's been a company doing that in China (IIRC, running a taxi car
service) for the past few years...

<https://www.scmp.com/video/scmp-originals/3168635/chinese-smart-battery-swap-stations-can-change-ev-batteries>

I also recently read a business article that a corporation may be now
partnering with a company in Germany to duplicate it there.

Nope, that's not the one ... that one's expanding to 1000 stations:
<https://www.ttnews.com/articles/catl-china-battery-swapping>

Ah, this is probably the one...they're already at 50 stations:

Ever own a flashlight with replaceable batteries? Did it take hours? <g>

Its just a design question. I worked on a ~80kWHr Li battery module
design many oons ago; it was a ~300lb module, kind of the cube of a row
of Xerox photocopier paper boxes. Swapping out took some time (~1 hr),
but that was fine because it was prototyping work and th design goal was
that it could be swapped, not that it had to be done in <10 minutes.

Seems that its becoming popular (70% of Nio buyers are renting):

<https://cleantechnica.com/2024/08/30/70-of-nio-buyers-renting-the-battery/>

And some customers think that its a decent price (~$100/mo):

Poor -highhorse. If he's not attacking reasonable behavior, he's

I would love to see him "man up" on the censorship issue. He could
admit that leftists in the government disallowed freedom of speech.
Government directives resulted in the censorship of those on the
right. On multiple issues that went against the Biden
administration's narrative.

This is relevant to what was being discussed, too. It shows that the
asshole is ok with our most precious rights being taken away.

He will need to change the subject header to indicate his intentions
to "man up", of course, if I'm to see it.

Huntzinger would probably support child marriage and genital mutilation
of those children if it became a "progressive" thing to do. In fact,
it's probably just a matter of time.

Have you guys seen that Tampon Tim rant where he states that there is
no freedom of speech when there is "misinformation" or "hate speech".

With radical leftists deciding what those things are, of course. They
might prosecute you for being critical of men who want to hang-out
naked in the girls' locker room. "She's a woman with man's body, you

I honestly wonder why we have allowed "progressive" "liberal"
"democratic socialists" to make up words like "disinformation" and
"misinformation." There is truth and there are lies. What those
"progressive" "liberal" "social democrats" want to say is that those who
would lie should not be allowed any kind of freedom when speaking. As
such, every one of the mainstream news agencies should be forced to go
out of business. Simultaneously, I wonder why one would need to require
_freedom_ in speaking in the first place if there is nothing wrong with
telling the truth. Does that mean that I won't be demonized for pointing
out that the ideology "progressive" "liberal" "social democrats"
advocate has already killed over 100 million people in the 20th century?

Thanks.

When I first started posting in this stinkpit I was 41. Scary how fast
time passes.

I think it's the director Paul Greengrass who overuses that extremely
irritating method of filming. As I recall, Green Zone was 115 minutes
of shaky handheld camera.

.... when you're having fun, right? I imagine that things were a lot more
fun when Peter the Klöwn and Debbie Ballard were regulars.

I wouldn't know, I never check who the director is. I know that I like
anything Mel Gibson directs and that I generally enjoy a Ridley Scott
film, but that's about it.

He's a bald-headed bubba.

Black girls, unlike most white women, can be very aggressive and they
would assuredly spit in his ugly face.

But you are quite correct in assuming that he has a "female brain."
He does have all the characteristics of a schoolmarm or a den mother.

His low intelligence shows in that he clings to his "Access" database
like a security blanket. In this way he attempts to show that he is
one of the smart Big Boys. But the Big Boys, like the black girls,
will only laugh in his face.

I've been watching the new Netflix series 'American Primeval'. I won't
comment on its value but it's filmed (digital I suppose) in that faux
black and white mode. Colors sometimes come through but not often.

I assume it's some sort of digital post-processing to try to create and
atmosphere of 1853.

The Mormons may not be too happy with it. They'd rather forget the
Mountain Meadows Massacre. There is a monument at the site when it hasn't
been vandalized but it's not included in the tourist brochures.

> I've been watching the Jesse Stone movies. More my speed these days.

Selleck makes anything better and Parker's stories were good to start
with. I haven't read any of the Stone books written by other author's
after his death but I believe the movies stay close to the originals.

Compare the population in the '50s with today's. Like Las Vegas and
Phoenix the city can only exist with artificial life support and if the
politicians spend money on more visible things to get elected while
letting the infrastructure deteriorate collapse is inevitable.

Must be time to re-watch 'Chinatown'.

Two failures at life whining about Massa DFS from behind their
killfiles? It must be comp.os.linux.advocaca.

Other weenies that do that are Creepy Chris Ahlstrom and shitv, but
they're not failures like you two.

An "admirable" record of idiocy and lies, DumFSck!

We had quite the cadre of trolls, back in the day. From the
ridiculous liars like DumFSck and "Hadron" Quack and Flathead, to the
semi-reasonable Tom Shillton and Eric Funkybreath.
