Re: Iran - Israel War? Iran's state-run news agency says Iran has fired ballistic missiles at targets inside Israel
I guess the President's warning of "Don't" didn't work. This attack is retaliatory, against Israel for their suspected strike on an Iranian consular building in Syria's capital, Damascus, which killed two generals and five officers in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. Why on earth di...

Re: Knife Attack in Australia
Society has to draw the line somewhere. Australia has chosen to draw the line at a different place than the US. Wife: So for some reason, this statement struck me as funny because it sounds just like an argument I hear in relation to church standards. Maybe that’s a little ridiculous, but that was ...

Iran - Israel War? Iran's state-run news agency says Iran has fired ballistic missiles at targets inside Israel
Iran says it has launched ballistic missiles as part of its attack targeting Israel. The state-run IRNA news agency quoted an anonymous official saying ballistic missiles were part of the attack. Already, slow-moving Shahed-136 bomb-carrying drones have been seen in the skies over Iran. However, th...

Re: They call it a NEV -- a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle
I’ve seen golf carts used on city streets too. I suppose the niche these fill best are maybe towns of 3,000 to 60,000 people. Way bigger, you run into the problems Ken mentions. And if there is nothing in your smaller town to go to, you need something bigger to get to the next town over.

Re: They call it a NEV -- a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle
In the US, roughly 60% of journeys are under six miles, and cars in urban areas move slower than you would think. The average speed of a car in Midtown Manhattan is only 4.7 mph. As people seek affordable, practical, and eco-friendly ways to get around, the demand for advanced micro-EVs like the El...

Re: William Penn
My argument is that if the welfare state didn’t exist, the civilians would be more likely to welcome migrants. Or at least be more apathetic. And if they were more welcoming to migrants, it wouldn’t be such an obtuse political football. And if it wasn’t such a political problem, maybe we would have...

Re: They call it a NEV -- a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle
You seem to have missed reading the article. These are actually legal to drive on regular roads as long as the speed limit on that road is 35 mph or lower. They just can’t be on highways, which have speed limits higher that 35 mph. So Seattles I-5 and bike lanes are not used at all. So yes, a golf ...

Re: They call it a NEV -- a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle
I kind of don't see the point. That little car is not allowed on the golf course. 8-) Unfortunately for whatever reason (economics? regulation? we don't seem to be getting such vehicles here in the US). Right. And so we use golf carts to fill this gap. The alternative in most cities, is not slow an...
