Alright.. Who are you guys pulling for in this game.. I am inclined to pull for the Lions to put Green Bay further out of playoff contention for when and if Aaron Rodgers returns..

Thoughts?

 

Good reasoning, but I think he's still a ways away from coming back yet.  If the records were equal, I might go with the Lions, but I'm pulling for the Packers since they do have that tie.  Calvin Johnson scares me as much as anyone in football.  I don't know why they don't go his way every single play.  The first drive he was automatic as always.  Bush fumble gives it away.

Good point.. I have both Megatron and Bush starting today for my FF team... Fugging Bush...

I thought I heard somewhere that Rodgers wanted to see if he was ready to play come next weekend.. Not sure if there is any truth to those rumors though..

Even if he does, it's playing with fire IMO.  It's hard to see someone being effective without the proper rest for a broken collarbone, even to the non-throwing shoulder.  JMO.

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
