Enjoy some pool time for me, love soaking, always loosens up the body good!

Thank you for posting that, very cool technology. I wonder if the hydrogen station was once based on this new tech you posted above or older energy use heavy tech.

Seems GM is considering bringing back the Hummer name as a possible EV. I really hope it is a option package for GMC, no need for another name plate in the GM stable. https://www.autoblog.com/2019/06/17/electric-hummer-gm/ https://www.autonews.com/future-product/gm-ponders-electric-hummer

Hydrogen fueling station in Norway biggest market for Hydrogen car sales has been put on hold as a station exploded and they have closed down all other stations till they understand what caused the explosion. https://www.autoblog.com/2019/06/12/norway-hydrogen-station-explodes-toyota-hyundai-halt-sales/ Somehow I think I take my electric over Hydrogen since it takes more energy to produce hydrogen than electricity.

Nice rides, just tight on space for tall peeps like me. Glad she likes it. That is an important marriage win.

Now this is Luxury worthy of being a Standard of the World!

Yes you are, I know you are! ?

BMW could Hand AMG their Ass if they focused on using Carbon Fiber for ultra light Driving Machines of unique design / style that use EV powertrains to maximize the driving experience with full Torque from Zero. This could work as a business model for something very special out of BMW.

Interesting Story, Sales of the XTS have done very well and surpassed last years sales and are the only one of the 6 models being killed this 2019 year that has sales up when the other 5 are down. XTS Ends Production of 2019 models at the end of Q4 2019 or Dec 31st 2019. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/these-6-gm-vehicles-are-ending-production

So taxi fares will increase since the base engine cost increased.

That is to cover up the chew stains.

Nope just you and another. I see your brain has gone south even more while on vacation, not even able to post anything related to tariffs, just down votes. Got it, I hear your Budweiser calling you. ?

https://www.politico.com/tag/tariffs Companies are pleading with Trump to stop the Tariff War as the hits set in with higher prices and much more goods sitting on shelves and warehouses. Interesting to read how across the pond they see our Tariff war with the world! https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/trade-tariffs?CMP=ILC-refresh Interesting the story on the FART ACT by Trump to allow him to Abandon the WTO pack. Had a Container ship come in over the weekend and they loaded up stuff, but nothing really was dropped off. This morning, it is amazing how empty the port is now and the trucks lined up to pick up containers is few compared to the backup they usually have. Clearly freight shipments are way down. 20190617_124424.mp4

This was published a year ago, but so on point as it explains the REAL REASONS Tariffs Threaten Our Economy and what it will do to our $20.85 Trillion in Debt we need to be paying down on. https://banyanhill.com/announcement-on-tariffs/ Worth the read for those that want to be informed. Anouncement on Tariffs The Elephant in the Room Relationship of Opposites Repercussions of Tariffs Trump's Greatest Asset - Our Economy Outstanding read and clearly a year later you can see where the administration has clearly FAILED America while the Trump Faithful will only see Positive!

People thought a small block V8 would not fit in a Chevrolet Luv Truck and yet plenty of people swapped out the 4 banger for a V8.

The point being in the links I posted, the Military has clearly stated they have more than enough tanks and no need to update the earlier Abram tanks in the High desert for the nearly half a billion dollars compared to using that money on other things they need like body armor for the soldiers, lite attack vehicles, etc. This is not scrapping the whole Abrams fleet, just the older ones, aka 2000 first and second generations that would be reworked with new engines, electronics, etc. to get them up to the current version they are building and buying. Recycle the older ones, spend the money on the newer tools that are used in todays Gorilla warfare.

I am gonna say No to the National Socialist thing of energy production and yes to they use American made products.

There is an Idea, inform them that their job will change from one of maintenance and refurbishment to one of Recycling with an end date knowing the Tank, production and maintenance will come to an end. Giving the business a chance to change its business model, have the employees recycle the tanks and bring that era to a close and hopefully the business is able to figure out another form of business such as lite attack vehicles. Or they could become a major recycling company for old outdated military gear.

Correct, I do not believe they do work, but then in our discussion and thinking about the Solar Industry, I could change my thinking in regards to protecting our intellectual right in making sure what we designed and thought up survives here in the country. At this point it is probably a lost cause just like how Tesla has lost out on producing Solar Cells locally compared to China or Japan. I think this also comes down to holding onto the tech one creates rather than selling out to the highest bidder a few years later for a payday. Asians have always thought of the long game.

Early version of Town homes or when large families still lived together but only divided by a wall? ?‍♂️

? OUCH That sucks, yup not having monitors or natural keyboard should force a sick day.

Sadly job cuts are a reality and this sucks, but you have to do tough cuts especially when the Military says they do not want it, but a political house rep forces them to keep spending 100's of millions on thousands of stored tanks. http://security.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/09/army-to-congress-thanks-but-no-tanks/ Then the military is ignored by someone keeping their ass in congress and wasting millions. There are more than 2000 M1 Abram tanks parked in the California high desert. https://www.cagw.org/content/tanking-taxpayers These tanks are getting new computers, refurbished, keeping a few thousand employed keeping something the Military has stated is useless and not wanted all for a few jobs and keeping a defense contractor going when their time is over. To CIRCLE this back to this topic, Tariffs are the same thing, there is a time and place for products to be built locally and to be sent to other countries where they can be built cheaply. A blanket Tariff war with a statement of bringing jobs back to America, Making America Great Again, etc. is useless in this educated society. The days of our Industrial Revolution are over as are use of Coal and other harmful products when we created better forms and ways of doing things. Tanks are a DEAD Product, time to recycle them rather than waste money on them. Companies come and go, not to be protected by idiot politicians. We should be protecting relevant technology we create such as Solar: Russell Ohl was the first inventor, who created the silicon solar cell in 1941. in 1954, the three American researchers Gerald Pearson, Calvin Fuller and Daryl Chapin were able to create a solar panel that could the had the efficiency level of 6% with direct sunlight. Instead, we allowed China to come in with cheaper poorer quality products and take over the industry. This is the failure of both GOP and Democrats who FAILED to protect our young industry at a time when it was needed. This is where China should have had Tariffs applied, now we only pretty much have China as a supplier. That is AMERICA's FAULT! Tariffs can and should be used to protect starting industry especially when we invested so much money in creating it rather than let it be stolen and undersold by other countries.

I will quote the link I posted above as this is out of Seattle Gates Foundation. Urine powered batteries The Bill Gates Foundation is funding further research by Bristol Robotic Laboratory who discovered batteries that can be powered by urine. It’s efficient enough to charge a smartphone which the scientists have already shown off. But how does it work? Using a Microbial Fuel Cell, micro-organisms take the urine, break it down and output electricity. Guess if it can clean up DIRTY DIESEL, Urine can also help power the Future!

So True, the 1% of War machine could care less about the rest of the country. We are spending Billions protecting Arab Oil going to countries we see as Enemies, aka China, North Korea, and Russia. Why are we paying for this oil protection and not the Arabs? If we took a balanced budget and lived within that budget like we did under Clinton in the 90's and reduced Defense around the world and spent that money from Foreign bases we really do not need to US Infrastructure we would be stronger and better off for it. 101 of basic investing is to pay yourself first, then your bills. Invest in oneself makes one stronger and not open to manipulation. Currently the US is on track to be a Debtor nation not a 1st world super power.

Totally agree, would take a bigger motor, less boost over smaller, high boost high reving.
