I love this. I’m wearing my April 19, 1775 shirt today actually.
 
"You are about like a fish being cleaned with a spoon, it's very hard to get an answer out of you"
- Hank Johnson...an elected official

Do you think he meant to say "like pulling hens teeth" but forgot that one so he made it up as he went along?

HJ: You felt kinda squeamish, like uh, like that fish that you're trying to be right now, being scaled, you felt a little squeamish about delivering that message. Correct?
CL: No sir
HJ: ........

What in the fuck are you talking about man?
Oh yeah I remember this guy

 
Wait......
Are you saying his analogy was wrong? Cause, yeah I've cleaned a fish with a spoon, and I couldn't get that sumbitch to talk either.
That Hank Johnson knows what he is talking about. He is also a very well spoken man.....for a crack head.

What is really sad is that he’s smarter than the people that elected him.

Which is a perfectly good reason why stupid people should not be allowed to vote.
 
I've seen this posted a bunch of times; what is the name of this gun?

Thats excellent. With my military medical background and experiences, being really aggressive when it came to hemorrhage and airway control is second nature to me. When I became a civilian paramedic, others looked at me like I was insane when I would go straight to a tourniquet on a massive bleed instead of progressing step by step through the accepted "algorithm" of bleeding control. I'm very glad all the lessons we have learned the last 15 years overseas are finally being applied in non-wartime incidents.


What's funny is I got to ride the box with a guy that had been doing it about 5 years longer. In 2002 we weren't supposed to apply tourniquets, according to protocol. But we were damn sure going to do it anyway, and take our licks. He had been to a trauma seminar taught my an old doc that said adding dressing is just prolonging death. Put a tourniquet on it, and make it stop. It took our medical control 15 years to catch up with what a bunch of Paramedics already knew.

The Boston City bombing showed the civilian medical world that tourniquets are a good thing. The stats do not lie.
 
To all the school kids who went on 'strike' for climate change...

You are the first generation who have required air-conditioning in every classroom. You want TV in every room and your classes are all computerised. You spend all day and night on electronic devices. More than ever, you don't walk or ride bikes to school but arrive in caravans of private cars that choke suburban roads and worsen rush hour traffic.

You are the biggest consumers of manufactured goods ever and replace perfectly good expensive luxury items to stay trendy. Your scooters and skateboards are increasingly... electric!

Furthermore, the people driving your protests are the same people who insist on artificially inflating the population growth through immigration which increases the need for energy, manufacturing and transport.

The more people we have, the more forest and bushland we clear and more of the environment is destroyed.

How about this... tell your teachers to switch off the air-con. Walk or ride to school. Switch off your devices and read a book. Make a sandwich instead of buying manufactured goods.

No, none of this will happen because you are uneducated, selfish, virtue signalling little turds inspired by the adults around you who crave a feeling of having a 'noble cause' while they indulge themselves in Western luxury and unprecedented quality of life.

You are not millenials. You are worse.

Did you write this? because it is perfect and concisely written. Well, done!

I work in the Power Semiconductor Industry. I sell our products into numerous, big name EV and Charger manufacturers. I constantly see consumers viewing EV's as being powered "for free". They have no idea that the total energy expended/consumed for EV's, cradle to grave, is much higher that that of an ICE vehicle. As far as charging, they completely fail to understand that the electricity that is utilized for charging their "green" vehicles comes from hydro, nuclear or fossil fuels. Yes, there is energy that comes from wind and solar, but those are still a small fraction of all electrical energy produced and consumed.

There is a meme floating around somewhere (it's been posted here on the Hide in the past) that shows an EV being charged and the charger is being powered by a portable/trailerable gasoline generator. The picture sums up peoples delusions quite nicely.

When I was getting my latest commuter car, I ran a big spreadsheet with all the numbers of expected cost of ownership over the life of the vehicle.

A plug in hybrid or all electric didn't wind up being any cheaper in my calculation ($0.14/kwh) than just getting a standard gasoline powered hybrid due to the cost of electricity.

I'm in power generation, more electric cars! Increase the grid demand over night! ICE cars 20-30% thermally efficient. Steam electric stations with feed water heaters 30-40% efficient, combined cycle up to 80% efficient. But then send that power through our 98% transformer, down transmission lines, through substation transformers that are typically 90-95% then to a 90-95% distribution transformer. Then charge a 50-60% electrically efficient battery. So we're back to 40% just at the battery, not including electrical losses in the vehicle, let alone environmental and energy production impact. I love the stickers on the electric golf carts at our dirt burners, the powered by coal stickers right next to the zero emissions sticker. Or our VP of fossil that drives a Tesla with a powered by coal sticker on it!
