Background There seems to be two main camps in this violent debate between Internal Combustion Vehicles (ICE) and Electric Vehicles (EVs) For convenience, we’ll refer to the first group as The Tesla Fanbois, and the second group as The Never EVs. I’m not in either camp. I’m just a regular dude, a long-time open source

On one side of this argument, people see billionaires and are disgusted with it. I get it, with Elon Musk in the news almost everyday, it strikes me as similar to the royal family in the UK. On the other side of this argument, there are people that say we shouldn’t tax wealth because it’s
The year was 1993, and I was sitting next to the waterfall at The Gorge, part of the Summit County Metro Parks. It’s a huge waterfall that’s 420 feet wide, and 60 feet tall. The sound of the rushing water drowns out everything. If you’re talking to somebody, you have to scream. The waterfall is/was
The Socialist has had a bit to drink and starts talking about the errors of man, and how collective pursuit is the only way for us to stop all human suffering. The Anarcho-capitalist overhears him, cuts in and argues that this is all bullshit and that unrestricted pursuit of our own self interest is the

It’s July 14th, the sun set about an hour and half ago. This afternoon, your mother and I brought you home from the hospital. One day, when you are ready, I will share this letter with you because I think reflection is important for personal growth. I can hear Mishifu downstairs meowing and I’m sitting
So, I’m at the gas station today and and this guy starts screaming at me. He says, “listen buddy, I don’t like the way you’r…” and I cut him off. I pull out my wallet, open it in front of him, and scream, “you see this fucks wallet? It’s empty buddy!!!” Then, I logged in
My father never worked at an office. He wasn’t the type of guy to even have a home office. Hell, there were times when he didn’t even have a home, much less an office. Nonetheless, the cover on his burial niche says “at the office” on it. This requires some explaining. My father, Don McCarty,
