  1. Prius tires use a harder rubber. Soft rubber is used on Corvettes etc. for better grip and cornering. They use a narrow tread for less rolling resistance and higher inflation pressure(40 p.s.i.). All to reduce rolling friction. The contact patch is small for the weight of vehicle.
  2. NPR: Facebook And Twitter Remove TRUMP BACKED Accounts Targeting Left-Leaning Voters FIFY. "Two weeks ago, William Evanina, director of the United States National Counterintelligence and Security Center, published a somewhat vague warning about various forms of foreign interference in the upcoming election. On Friday, he followed up with a more direct and incriminating one, specifically warning that Russia is working to help reelect Donald Trump. Even more important is what this warning unmistakably implies: that Trump and his Republican allies in Congress are actively cooperating with Russia’s campaign."
  3. Even the "leader" of the militia that sent out the call for armed people to converge there has now said he should not have come. Most likely because he's received legal advice that he could have a personal liability for what's transpired from the families of those killed.
  4. Vancouver’s largest taxi company, Yellow Cabs, has 150 Priuses in its 250-car fleet. The rest are hybrid Camrys and fuel-efficient Corollas, and by law, 15% of the fleet has to be wheel-chair accessible vans.. Most don't see retirement/resale until 500,000-600,000 km.
  5. English translation for non-trumpites.
  6. Drafting behind a Porsche, going downhill,on the Going to the Sun Road and small diameter tires!
  7. He also said “I don’t see much future for the Americans,” Hitler said in January 1942. “Everything about the behavior of American society reveals that it’s half Judaized, and the other half Negrified. How can one expect a state like that to hold together?” or did trump say that to appeal to his white supremacist base.... can't remember!
  8. Not sandpaper! rubbing compound for headlight restoration. Works good on scratches, scrapes on paint, etc.
  9. So trump has now got HHS to spend $1/4 billion for a advertising campaign “defeat despair and inspire hope” about the coronavirus pandemic. Ordinary this would be in banana territory. But with 74 days to the election using public money to pander to his base should surprise nobody.
  10. "Liberty University on Monday announced that it would commission an “independent investigation” into how its now-former president Jerry Falwell Jr. managed the Christian school for years until he resigned last week. The executive committee of the university’s board of trustees said in a statement that it had hired an outside firm to “conduct a thorough investigation into all facets of Liberty University operations during Jerry Falwell, Jr.’s tenure as President, including but not limited to financial, real estate, and legal matters.” But he "promised to be a good boy now".
  11. Yes, meanwhile trump is conducting a press conference he accuses a reporter "Your side just killed one of my supporters in Portland". Is there any wonder that violence is escalating. Using the bully pulpit of the WH trump lies, tries and convicts without any evidence and points the finger at another.
  12. Its America, he's 17 and has a AR-15. "When the looting starts, the shooting starts," Trump tweeted on Floyd protests. A look back at Trump comments inciting violence 'No Blame?' ABC News finds 54 cases invoking 'Trump' in connection with violence, threats, alleged assaults. Then he went to a trump rally."In a statement to BuzzFeed News on Wednesday, Trump 2020 campaign spokesperson Tim Murtaugh said, “President Trump has repeatedly and consistently condemned all forms of violence and believes we must protect all Americans from chaos and lawlessness."
  13. Canada has for example a fairly open immigration policy, which I'm in favor of. It allows two rich/educated immigrants for every compassion/poor immigrant. The problem arises because all three of those immigrants want a western style consumption standard of living. A single detached home, two cars per family, vacations in the winter etc. All of which makes its signed climate accords more and more impossible to meet. For farmers the issues which have driven Central Americans farmers to flee now unproductive land.. Are affecting farming here as well with more irregular weather, reducing yields. Canadians by a majority accept that actions must be taken but the costs have never been fully laid out by any political party as to what those costs will be.
  14. Somehow I think the surge estimates arise from modeling and not from the National Hurricane Center wanting to alarm or scare people. Nine feet is not to be trifled with I've seen Caribbean Islands devastated by six feet. Laura photo.
  15. The issues are massive and individuals,corporations and others seem to be ahead of governments. IMO personal responsibility is the first place to start. The cost to address this are such that whole concepts like GDP growth are going to have to be re-evaluated.
  16. Yes and thats why its important to start now rather than later.

    and i saw the rally on the lawn of the WH. It was all good.
  18. Good try Brent, its all ok and Joe knows whats really going on. When you marry above your pay grade life is a challenge. So you overcompensated by buying the most massive panzerwagon available. At least you didn't buy the flashing red LED wedding band to signal to other males "she's taken". Insecurities about marriage and how America is changing have painted you into trump's corner. If it gets too bad just go back to the MB dealer and take one for a test drive. You could tell yourself its not the vehicle for you because you're not that ostentatious.
  19. These values "Melania Trump says US deserves ‘total honesty’ from president despite husband’s 20,000 untruths in office". i.e. where the first lady is also a stooge of her husbands party? or Melania Trump was praised for acknowledging racism. But she has also spread false ‘birther’ claims about Obama.? or the sexual escapades of Donald that caused her to refuse to hold his hand in public?
  20. "Klacik appeared on Revolt Black News Thursday night with host Eboni K. Williams and conservative pundit Tara Setmayer. To kick off the segment, Williams played a clip of Klacik’s ad where she matter-of-factly states, “The worst place for a Black person to live in America is a Democrat-controlled city.” She then challenges voters to “name a Blue city where Black people’s lives have gotten better. Try—I’ll wait.” Williams countered Klacik’s now viral message by asking the candidate for Maryland’s 7th Congressional District to name a Republican-controlled city or state where Black life has improved. “Where Black life has improved?” Klacik responded, stumped. “Oh. That’s a good question. That’s not something I’ve looked up.” Klacik’s response furthered Williams’s prior assertion that Republicans have often chastised the left for their leadership of Black communities, but haven’t always “demonstrated a better alternative.” When Williams asks the 38-year-old to spend some time telling her where she sees any evidence of the Republican party making the case for Black people, Klacik also appears unable to give a clear answer. Instead, she notes that Republicans need to do a better job at engaging inner cities. “Republicans have written off inner cities again and again,” she said."

    covid-19

    How about his failure to deal with covid is because he could care less. He cares about watching TV, golfing and 'executive time' but doesn't have the time or inclination to deal with details. Or the issue can just be put within the general scope of stupidity about the nature of pandemics. It is biting him in the ass though.Trump Hotel in Vancouver closes as company files for bankruptcy. Staff answering phone at front desk said hotel is closed, empty, and staff are gone
