Not blocking him allows me to enjoy this sense of stunned wonder over and over again. The gift that keeps on giving.

Correct.

I haven't blocked him either, but I don't always read his posts. Sometimes they are copy & pastes of previous rants, so I just skim over them.

But sometimes, they are astounding.

& many times the responses are priceless. Thank you to those who respond with such humor!

This says ALL I need to know about your multiple and myriad musings on the topic in this thread.

Not an unreasonable flow of logic that it likely pertains to many of the thoughts and opinions espoused on other more (ahem) controversial topics.

Much of the world's battery production and materials for battery production comes from China. Do you realize that the "pistons slap around" in your gas car?

My thoughts exactly. She doesn't own or like a cart but wants to give advice on cart ownership. Her comments are laughable, uninformed, and out of touch with reality.

We love our cart and use it all we can. Love the fresh air and slower pace.
As far as safety goes, I don't feel it's anymore risky than a car.
Lets face it, there's no shortage of ****ty drivers here. Pick your pioson

A word of caution...

Continued comments about seemingly "protected" posters will get you "vacationed"...

Ask me how I know...:D

A person does NOT have to OWN something to have an opinion on it. I don't own a German Shepard but I can have an opinion about one. I don't have to put a diamond pin in my nose to have an opinion about it. Of course, I realize that gas automobiles, trucks, and golf carts have pistons. That is why E-vehicles like a Tesla can out-accelerate gas vehicles and cost MUCH less to operate and have FEWER parts. When E-vehicle price's come down due to competition, they will be FAR superior to gas piston based vehicles.
.....regarding US independence. Battery technology at this present point in time may have some dependence on China, but battery technology will change and improve in the future and may be totally made in the US from US materials. And I was referring to Middle East effects on the price of oil.

I don't care about your opinion. You have demonstrated little knowledge of most areas that you serially post about. So, which EV do you own and which manufacturer of solar panels are on your roof?

Well, I will tell you something. You said that you checked on my past post about what I have said. I would NEVER do that to another TOTV poster. I could care less what ANY OTHER poster has written in the past about ANYTHING. And if anyone does check on what I have written, they will see that I don't INSULT other posters. But, I have gotten several insults from 2 different posters in just the last few previous pages.
......I post when I have an opinion. This is an opinion forum. Most people are NOT experts about their opinions, although some are. I like to LEARN from them and also what other's opinions are. So, I am NOT going to get into playing an insult GAME - no one can win that game.

Why don't you stop posting about things you clearly have no expertise in? Also, stop posting clearly wrong information. If you do that then you won't be called out. If you insist on posting opinions with no basis in fact then expect that you will be called out. Pretty simple. Your opinions don't matter. Facts matter and your posts are typically devoid of facts. Still waiting for answers to the questions in post #79.

250 hours a year is high usage and might get even larger as TV expands down to Havana, Cuba.

Don't think...Just drive.

It is the responsible thing to do.
