I see that number, and I worry about whether or not the electrical wiring inside will melt because of all the energy required to produce that torque.
Yep, that's part of what has me so excited to wait on a truck, the new Silverado doesn't bring enough to the table and the new Ranger and Colorado are too long in the tooth. I want something innovative and much more environmentally friendly to replace my current Silverado that can still put in big work.There's a bunch of hybrid and EV trucks coming.
The Rivian truck can tow 11,000 pounds.
No one should be seen with Lisa MacLeod.What does the picture mean? Parliamentarians from opposing parties can't be seen together?
I mean, you'd think so, but I've seen things like Nissan batteries having premature failures and cars randomly having electrical fires that I'm paranoid about anything high-ish current.
When it comes to things like this, it's always good to look at some perspective. Homes have wiring that would put any car to shame. The wires that feed homes put those wires to shame. Worldwide, Gas powered cars burst into flames on the order of tens to hundreds of thousands every single day, and the view is that they are safer and easier to maintain so the reports of failures of battery cars are going to catch a lot more flack in the media.
The wiring isn't really the problem, it's the battery cells themselves. Power tool batteries can be punctured and explode, and that's 3-15 cells in a pack. EVs are a few more lol.
As mentioned though; internal combustion engines take a fairly crazy concept to work and are relatively safe. No reason to think EVs aren't safer. My main concern is cell degradation from rapid charging and temperature. Lithium ion cells don't like excessive heat or excessive cold.
If nothing else I look forward to simpler maintenance. Oil, antifreeze, power steering fluid, leaking hoses, etc. No thanks. If transmission fluid and differentials are all I have to worry about beyond brakes I'll be pleased. Suspension is easy.

The degradation I've read about in newer cars with thermal management is 10 percent or less under very non ideal situations.
Yeah, they fixed a lot of the Gen 1 Leaf issues, so it should be okay. Having said that, I'm still going to be on the market for the new 2020 Ioniq Electric, if it ever comes out this year before the election.
The propaganda from Conservos comparing Trudeau to Dump is the biggest load of hog shit I've ever seen.
Andy is ready to gobble up all the bigoted, fascist droppings of Agent Orange, human centipede style. All Conservatives can fuck off forever.
Wouldn't he have to give up tenure at UofT to run? Not like he can be teaching while serving as an MP.It made me think, what are the chances JBP will be a candidate in the next elections? It seems to be the next logical step in our collective nightmare.

Apparently, he has lost a ton of patrons in the last year. He's also more or less become an enemy of the alt-right.
I feel that to stay relevant, a foray into politics is inevitable. And we know the CPC will go hard on the freeze peach on campus crap.
He's become an enemy? How's that?
I thought they worship his crap.
That is a question. On one hand its a straight up donation. On the other hand an argument can be made that the act of donating to a patron can be in exchange for a service (through donor exclusive items.)I'd love to see what Elections Canada would have to say about JBP's Patreon if he decided to run for office.
He'd probably be able to claim it as campaign contributions, it's the foreign contributions that would be a real problem. Hell, since Patreon is based in the US it could be argued that all contributions are foreign. Also, since he only gets one payment directly from Patreon each month instead of from each patron then he'd be fucked on that anyway.That is a question. On one hand its a straight up donation. On the other hand an argument can be made that the act of donating to a patron can be in exchange for a service (through donor exclusive items.)
That said, he would probably be absolutely slammed over it, or be forced to have the campaign start over from scratch... With the Patreon money not allowed to be used for the campaign. Aka, just being personal "JBP funds" instead of "JBP Campaign Funds."
Bread and butter issues.I don't see why anyone would vote CPC if those are their priorities. But people are stupid, look at Ontario.
- Once again, Canadians identify health care (24%) and the deficit (18%) as high priorities heading into the 2019 election, but environmental issues (27%) now top the list of priorities. Priorities vary significantly across generations and by party support

I don't like the stupid talk as it oversimpliflies everything. People care about their pocket books first.

- Currently, one-in-three voters (35%) say that they are planning to vote for a party because they dislike another party even more and want to prevent that party from winning. This sentiment is equally high among Liberals (40%) and Conservatives (40%)
- Conservative leader Andrew Scheer (40% approve, 46% disapprove), NDP leader Jagmeet Singh (34% vs 45%) and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (28% vs 67) all have negative net approval scores. Only Green Party leader Elizabeth May is approved of by more Canadians than disapprove of her (45% vs 34%)
Trudeau's Approval/Disapproval ratio is about on the same level as Trump. Joking about the comparison earlier haha
Yep, a significant amount of people who pay no attention to much of anything think that Trump is "doing good for America" and "turned their economy around and got them back to work". Easy to believe these same people think Trudeau is shit because they just soak in dumb hearsay, which is everywhere.
A) Approval / disapproval means a little less than it does compared to a two-party system.
B) Polling tends to change a *lot* during the actual election period. The LPC went from ~26% to ~40% between August 2015 and the actual election.
Trudeau has some serious challenges, but it's premature to consider this a loss yet, before the election period has even begun. There are no platforms right now, no debates.

The Tories won in Ontario without a platform beyond "buck a beer", "let's get this lesbian out of here" and tag-teamed with the Liberals "that a vote for the NDP is a vote for Bob Rae and they'll fuck you over". They also had a bunch of trained seals clapping for them at each debate while their allies in the media normalized everything. No reason to suspect things will play much differently here.Trudeau has some serious challenges, but it's premature to consider this a loss yet, before the election period has even begun.

There's a reason for this. The media are on board with Harper Jr. selling us up the river.Scheer will sell us out to the US, just like his buddy Harper wants to.
Not enough reporting on the coordination of the far right.

Stuff like this and the climate change protest makes me wonder what vanity drives people to have children in the first place if they clearly don't actually care about their future.
But hey, pipelines!!!!
Let's be honest, the cons really didn't win Ontario because of the platform they ran on...
They won because the liberals policies led to rapidly rising, unsustainable energy cost.
5% off home heating costs worth a change in government. Is everyone on the verge of bankruptcy over there or what.
