Range 500 miles
Accommodate 2 adult, 2child passengers, pet + luggage/groceries
Charged by braking
Charged by integral solar panels
Charged by small integral wind turbine
Charged by small integral hydrocarbon generator

Old Boy Scout manual had directions how to make one with a #10 can, crumbled up dry wall, a rag, some string and a manic marker. Maybe find at oism.org NWSS
I remember reading the Soviets had small EMP generating machines.
They also used a type of EMP generating machine as an electrical power source in remote areas of Siberia and the Arctic
They didn't kill enough of us with the Covid or the vax, they couldn't start the race or civil war, so now they're not messing around with big tricky ideas anymore , they're just going to nuke us.
I used to work as a rigger for a famous art moving company. Put lots of crated artwork into “cellar” in huge estates. Saw plenty of drums with that CD symbol in private buildings
He is Not Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is to blame for everything.
All those who do not support him are racists, insurrectionists, and terrorists.
Climate change, climate change, climate change.
Voter suppression.
So what happens when arms shipments from NATO to Ukraine get blown up on NATO soil or on NATO ships?
Supplying arms to either side at this point is taking sides and is an act of war, so is supplying guerrilla/insurgent groups.
Our politicians and media are assholes to think of doing either of...
David Halbertsam has a book "The Best and The Brightest" about Kennedy's, and then Johnson's Cabinet and advisors, how they got us into Vietnam and because of their hubris wouldn't admit they were wrong and get us out. They knew they were wrong when US casualties were about 8,000 of the eventual...
I had mine from being 11H (Tow); then they made us MANPADS (Stinger) 16S so I had a few decks of aircraft. I gave them all to the neighborhood boys (7-8-9 year olds) They ride their bikes in and around my driveway because I'm the only hill around.

On Fox last night : complete 9 justice PA Supreme Court will likely say it is constitutional because they are elected democrats who tow party line no matter what.
I went to girlfriend's family get-together earlier. Discussed hunting with her uncle. He told me 754lb. black bear taken this year on golf course in Middletown near Orange regional Hospital. Could be new State record.
Old Soviet practice, in threat of war, was to target each American aircraft carrier with at least 90 nuclear weapons of various types. Pretty much guaranteed one was going to get through eventually.
I believe current Russian and Chinese doctrine to be the same. It is foolish to believe they...
We had quite a few feral dogs in the area when we first moved here 30 years ago. I saw one about as big as an Irish Wolfhound checking out the llama my neighbor was raising. Large square muzzle, white, brown, grey, yellow blotches of shaggy fur. Looked very fit and well fed.
I've seen coyotes...
The son of the man who built my house lives on my street. He lived in my house as his father built the other homes on my street. When a big snow happens he fires up the old snow plow and he and the bride mosey up and down the street giving everybody a few passes, especially the street side of...
Had 1911's in USCG 1975-79.
On the ship (378', flight deck, 5"/38, and torpedoes) doing Fishery boardings on the Grand Banks usually just the Officer was armed. Down south in Windward Passage doing buccaneer patrols we were all armed.
On my small boat at Coast Guard Stations I would give the...
The first standing ovation I ever got was from a Manhattan Grand Jury. I helped catch a crazy, just released felon with a gun, running around the neighborhood. I had just gotten off Active Duty and onto FDNY 1980.
The ADA was Sonya.
I hope I didn't help launch her career.
