THIS is what we need.

A less expensive way of achieving this would have been to install a paint line capable of painting multiple colours. ... which they ended up doing, anyhow, but with the additional cost of buying out the other brands associated with those colours. I'm not sure how much of their trouble relates...

The way the survey question is asked can make a huge difference. "Will your next vehicle purchase be gas or electric" is a different question from "if you had to replace this vehicle, would it be gas or electric". Lots of people including myself have both.

Are you required to have the boat's lights on when the boat is parked at the dock? Or am I understanding this wrong?

Can't fix ignorance. Just today, someone was complaining on the Bolt facebook group that 120V charging couldn't keep up with their driving patterns. Well, duh. 120V charging works for a lot of people, but not if you drive more every day than approximately 6 km x <number of hours it can be...

Retirement has given me the time to walk 4 to 6 km every day ... except days like today. (too cold and blustery) Doctor has no concerns other than cholesterol being higher than he'd like.

Mixture of both. I retired a year and a bit ago. I've never been the type to have the biggest and newest possible house, or the fanciest and newest car that the bank will let me have. No kids, either. I'll never own a McMansion on a country estate, and I drive a Chevy, not a Mercedes. All that...

This thread should be a continuation of this one: Certifications starting March 2025.... But, at the moment, I can't figure out how to merge them, so I'm locking this one. Discussion can continue in the original thread.

My theory is that TSLA is going up because people are speculating that Elon Musk is going to do something self-serving after 20 January; it almost doesn't matter what. Likewise with bitcoin. I'm not interested in getting involved in that conflict-of-interest mess.

Can anyone think of a SPAC stock-market manoeuver that resulted in a successful operating business? (Truth Social doesn't count. LOL) I have moved my probability-or-success expectation from "low" to "very low". LOL Agree that they tried to do too much too soon. They assumed that their first...

Too big for my liking, but better than expected! And ... batteries and vehicle final assembly are in Canada.

Bwahaha. The backpack found in Central Park reportedly belonging to the shooter, contained Monopoly money. (Widely reported)

My understanding is that the CMA is undergoing a revival under new ownership/management, so the situation now might not be what it has been in the past (hopefully better, because the past was a nightmare). They are still not affiliated with the regional and national roadracing organisations...

CEO Shooter Lookalike contest https://www.threads.net/@karlkelvin6/post/DDSiBH4ySwe?xmt=AQGz8seEPyspy5v4UouGWzzVgP19bFH4Zj0KmIe70jUw0w

It's being widely reported that CEOs of other large healthcare companies are taking down all their social-media profiles. As far as getting those companies to operate in a more ethical fashion ... doubt if that'll happen. But then, there is this ...

Profit, yes. Billions, no. Billions on the backs of millions of people who had the misfortune of getting sick or injured and then have their claims aggressively denied ... the public is saying hard no.

Sympathy level from the general public: low. https://www.threads.net/@djmelodie/post/DDOHxxFptsM?xmt=AQGzyuy42hi2LmeaTWh4gtbQXIUi0JZdGzErKhFNt82LvA

Given the history of this company under his leadership, I am finding it really hard to be sympathetic.

Here is my beef with Harper: Canadian Scientists Explain Exactly How Their Government Silenced Science This was widely reported. If you don't like that particular article about this situation, there's lots of others from other sources back in the same timeframe describing the same situation...
