Expect nothing from the new GOP House.

Posted on January 7, 2023 by On the North River

Kevin McCarthy is member of the ‘Swamp’.   He betrayed President Trump during his term in office and sided wholeheartedly with the Democrats on branding the January 6th protests an ‘insurrection’.

Electing him as Speaker is the last nail in the coffin,  I’m done with giving the GOP even token support.  There is no national party now that we can work with.

Done is done.

If there is no expectation of regaining our hope of a return to the halcyon days of 2019, then perhaps it is better to relax and live the best life we are allowed for the time we have left.  Try and ignore the sheer horror that is becoming the Biden years.  Enjoy the best of what’s left to us and wait for the end, for nothing that burns through the wealth and health of the nation can go on forever.   And what can’t go on forever, won’t.

So let the Republicans blunder on for two years until the Demons steal another election and install another fool in the White House while also stealing back complete control of Congress.   And it will happen, because Kevin McCarthy is not the man to cause his friends the Democrats any trouble at all.

Nice of them to decide all this so quickly so we don’t waste time waiting for something to change for the better.

Sam Bankman-Fried, disgraced CEO of crypto Ponzi scheme FTX who stole $10 billion in customer funds and set it all on fire, has pleaded not guilty to being the disgraced CEO of a crypto Ponzi scheme who stole $10 billion in customer funds and set it all on fire. (CNBC)

Since the next two most senior executives of crypto Ponzi scheme FTX have turned King’s evidence he is very likely what is known in legal parlance as fucked, though we are still waiting to see whether this is merely Ghislaine Maxwell fucked or all the way Jeffrey Epstein fucked.

Given that he is physically incapable of shutting up, my money is on the latter.

First post of the New Year, lets kick the EV’s while they are down.

Posted on January 3, 2023 by On the North River

EV are stupid.  They are even stupider in the winter, especially where it’s exceptionally cold.

1. EVs are not ready for frigid road trips. I warned about this in August: Driving an EV on the highway in extreme cold will produce a range loss of 40% or more. EV owners of various brands traveling for the holidays shared numerous stories verifying this annoying (and potentially dangerous) reality. Drivers traveling in temperatures at or around zero with a headwind could go only 100 to 150 miles before needing to stop and recharge, depending upon the car, significantly increasing travel time. When they did charge, they had to deal with another disconcerting problem with EVs and winter…

2. EV fast-chargers operate much more slowly in extreme cold, if they work at all. The colder the EV battery, the slower the rate of charge that it will accept, making “fast-charging” in subzero temperatures a potentially miserable and plodding experience. Think a 45 to 60 minute charge instead of a 25 to 35 minute one. To top it off, users reported that fast-charging equipment, particularly from Electrify America, often just didn’t work in temperatures below -10 °F. Tesla’s proprietary Superchargers didn’t seem to have the same reliability issues.

I imagine that if you do get a charger to work and you sit inside the vehicle while you wait for the charger to charge.  But running the EV heater for the inside compartment might mean you’ll be there longer, a lot longer.  But wait!  I was reading that the heater in the Tesla doesn’t work while charging.  Better carry a small portable (gas) generator for the electric blankets you’ll need if you don’t want to freeze to death while waiting for a charge.

Doug: A happy Christmas story! Repost

Posted on December 25, 2022 by Doug

Not very many people know how this tradition started.

When four of Santa’s elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.

Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.

When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.

Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.

Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor.. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor.

He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.

Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said very cheerfully, ‘Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn’t this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?’

And thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

John: I have a special reason to repost this.  My friend Doug is in the hospital with terminal cancer tonight.  My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. 

If you can say a prayer for this Marine tonight.
