CoronitaParticipant[quote=Blogstar]Who you gonna vote for, the party of “no requirements for responsibility from anyone ” or the despots?[/quote]
It depends on the balance of power in 2014.
I’ll vote for the president that is opposite of who controls Congress so that there isn’t any more extreme government on either side of the spectrum…
16 years of extreme government is enough for me…
Maybe it’s time for an independent.
CoronitaParticipantWhat do you folks mean????
You didn’t get your $6.5 million after transferring her a few thousand? I did…..
Sheesh! ….You see…That’s exactly the problem with the perma-bears on this blog.
They keep thinking real estate prices will fall another 50%, and completely miss out on opportunity when it’s right there in front of them!

CoronitaParticipant[quote=CDMA ENG][quote=patb][quote=joec]What about the concern that replacing all these batteries for ALL these cars would be expensive and a total pain after 5 years?
Like how your cell phone or wireless headphones or pretty much anything won’t keep a charge anymore after a certain amount of time. It could cost 10k to replace the batteries on the Tesla.
That’s one of my biggest concerns with owning one of these EV vehicles, even the cheaper ones.
Even with costs coming down, it’s still so much more than the $50-$100 standard car bat.[/quote]
people said that about Hybrid cars too. It didn’t happen.[/quote]
It will…
Battery technologies have made huge leaps in the last 15 years but one thing still remains…
They eventually fail.
Sometimes spectacuarly…

I have a lot of hope for LifePo4 batteries instead of LiIon batteries.
From little of what know from about them, LifePo4 seems to be chemically more stable, unlike LiIon batteries which are subject to thermal runaway, probably make better sense to put them in vehicles versus LiIon. Unfortunately, I don’t think LifePo4 don’t have as much capacity as LiIon I think, and if you drain them completely, they become expensive paperweights. To be honest, I know nothing about battery technology. But, I’ve been exploring ways to reduce weight in my miata, so I learned about LiFePO4. I stuck this 2.8 lb motorcycle battery

…. to replace this battery 28 lb battery that was already smaller than a standard size one ….

The nice thing, is it’s tiny enough and weighs so little that I can move the battery from the trunk to sit right behind my passenger seat next to the ECU….
I was curious why Tesla or Boeing for that matter decided to go with LiIon instead of LiFePO4… But then again, I’m sure there is a good reason for it so, I won’t second guess the experts in the field on this.

CoronitaParticipantI let my kids watch Spongebob Square Pants. I think that is more detrimental to my kids education or lack there of than anything else. My bad….
But in all seriousness, What grade and exactly what was in the text? I’m curious.

CoronitaParticipant[quote=6packscaredy][quote=flu][quote=6packscaredy]i have been called faggot and sissy, way back in the dayearly 70sand im not gay. those dudes got it wrong. i was just kind of weird. there should be education on that in school. just because the kid is kind of weak and odd and dweeby, and way overly intellectual even back then, doesn’t mean he does not want to have sex with girls….[/quote]
You didn’t use the “I can do your homework for you so you don’t fail, Ms. Hotty”, did you?[/quote]
no. too shy.[/quote]
I tried.. with one hot girl… . Of course, being the dork as I was, I was more interested in driving her Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 that her parents bought her instead of taking her out on a date….Doooooh!…Glad I had a chance. That was a fun car…Until she totaled it 3 weeks later…

CoronitaParticipantAs a side note…
I think you folks need to worry more about what comes out of other kid’s mouth than what the educators are teaching frankly.
My elementary school kid in the lower grade comes home to inform me that a classmate at recess learned from her brother that boys have a penis and girls have a pussy.
And coincidentally, when she told me this, we were sitting on a park bench, and she asked me what the word fuck means that was written on the bench.
And then asks me if she could use the word during her rhyme patterns with luck ,duck, buck at school….
Nice…
CoronitaParticipant[quote=spdrun]My strategy is to wait for a stock to fall on temporary bad news, see the fucking lemmings (or their software) stampede for the door, buy and wait for them to realize that the news really isn’t that bad.
Product defects where past products have been decent, delays in funding, fiery accidents (in the case of TSLA HAHA!), natural disasters involving companies with local markets are all GREAT to trade on![/quote]
Good luck then!
CoronitaParticipant[quote=spdrun]You didn’t buy any AAMRQ when it was below $3 in August? Fucking idiot.[/quote]
Nope… I don’t claim to be smart in the stock market. I just like keep part of it in my index funds.
I do better in my active trading account in a bear market. In a bull market, my index funds absolutely slaughters my returns on my active trading account.
To be honest, I’m doing damage control right now to make sure before the year end my return on my active trading account is as close to the indexes as possible…
You do like to use “fucking idiot” a lot. You must either be Warren Buffet or just a New Yorker 🙂 But it is entertaining…
CoronitaParticipantLol.. Time to sell FNMA at $3.38..
Too bad I only bought 1000 shares at $1.95.. That would have been fun…

CoronitaParticipant[quote=livinincali]I think the problem is we’re paying a room full of education experts to come up with with new reading assignment that are more politically correct every year. Why can’t we use the reading assignments from last year or 5 years ago. The basics of reading comprehension and math haven’t changed in centuries.[/quote]
Ding ding ding…
Winnar!

CoronitaParticipant[quote=spdrun]Are TEC-9’s still a thing among gang-bangers?[/quote]
Sorry, I’m old school 🙂

CoronitaParticipantWell, back to the subject of math, we could give more “practical” real world questions that I think would help people relate better to math…
1. “If Mick can drink 120 ounces of beer before he passes out, and if a keg of beer is 30 gallons, how much beer will be left before Mick passes out?”
2. “If it takes 1 hour for Louis to smoke 1 1/2 joints, and it takes Al 1/2 hour to smoke 2 joints, how many more joints will Al have smoked after 10 hours?”
3. “If 1 gram of Crack costs $1250, how many grams of Crack can Mary buy if she steals $4000 from her trust fund?”
4. “If a pimp can pimp out Jane to Johns, and if Jane can turn tricks at 1 trick every hour for $50, how much can the pimp get to Jane make in 48 hours?”
5. “If gang-banger Frank has a TEC-9 with a 10 bullet clip, and he empties 10 clips on his rival gang member Dirk, how many bullet holes will Dirk have, assuming not a single bullet misses?”

CoronitaParticipant[quote=FlyerInHi]spd, I love that De Blasio was elected mayor of NYC. I guess his wife used to be lesbian. His family reflects the changing demographics of America.
Education should reflect demographics so children are aware of what’s out there.[/quote]
