Tom, sorry I offended you. If I recall, you typed a number wrong. Then later I did the same thing, except I admitted my mistake after you pointed it out. Sometimes folks don’t get my dry humor.
For me, the only mistake in life is when a person does not admit his mistake and does learn from it.
On the eduction side, I share your experience with educated folks who missed the practical part and then try and boss people around. I started working for my dad in his steel fabrication factory when I was nine years old, with my hands. With respect, the US eduction system is not vocationally orientated. I went to school in a different country, only after completing a formal apprenticeship. I can honestly say, that I have used at least 70% of what I was taught in school, at some point later in my career.
The biggest asset in life is common sense. You can’t learn that in school. It is a rare commodity in this day and age, unfortunately.
You never said I made a number mistake. You said I can't even type chyt I find on the internet right. Then make reference to your physics level of applied math....yadda yadda. I never found it on the internet. But in your world you must see data or the person isn't credible. Then I find a reference to what I typed. And you call the reference bogus. Never once apologizing that I actually did type what I recalled being said verbally.
I watch you assert repeatedly references to people lacking in education. Make personal bullying statements to several in the process. Both here in the thread and the internet presence elsewhere. You want to discredit data on the internet. But present your data from the internet.
Nobody's references they present are valid. Except yours. You post a statement about the EU that's incorrect. And try to assault my character for it when I reference data to discredit your claim.
You pointed out a link I made was incorrect. For which I acknowledged and corrected. You later make reference to it again. Again using it to discredit me. Leaving out the fact that I acknowledged it was wrong and corrected it
I make a post about total world consumption of power. Before you even review it. Stating it's impossible.
Turns out apparently you discover it's not only possible, but correct. Shall I assault your math mistakes again, dismissing that you acknowledged being wrong about your math? Would you find that humorous? It's your education on display after all.
I readily admit I'm not highly educated. I also admitted my weakest skill is math. If I can find faults in your use of it. You're gonna get slaughtered trying to argue with someone that's good at math.
Perhaps you want to make this about humor now.
Calling people uneducated or a liar says a lot about how you see humor. Is that innate? Or part of what they taught you in school?
Common sense. Common sense in what? How we use math? Or how we view others that have different educations?
In economic math. EVs aren't the solution. Certainly they taught you how to factor in variables in your physics level applied math. Right? I mean I remember that part of math. And I'm nowhere near as educated as you.
Finding humor yet?
Bee views EVs from a place where it's cold and remote. His views aren't wrong. I know other Canadians that feel the same way about EV's he does. We have our LA guy who loves EVs. They are much more practical to sit in traffic jams in. His views aren't wrong either. I lived there in SoCal. Elon did a great job at creating a stand alone electric HVAC to use while you sit in traffic. That innovation alone makes an EV worth it in places like LA. Ford, GM, take notes. It wasn't that difficult.
Then when I caught up on reading. I saw the irony. When asked if you own an EV. The answer was no. With the reasons you stated. That was where I found humor. You the defender and champion of EVs. Doesn't even own one. Glad to see you could be doing more to help the environment. And chose not to. But then to call others names when they don't. Pretty humorous.
This is Bee's thread. I think he has shown a wealth of patience in being called a liar. I would venture a guess his education level would say he'd prefer to kick your teeth in that rather than find humor in it. In that regard, he is highly educated.
There are less than 200K people in the whole county and around 10,000 in my lil community. The power grid sucks around here. Imagine hundreds or thousands more ‘appliances’ being plugged in to recharge. All I had on was the TV and A/C and a lamp. Time to break out the candles and oil lamps again. What’s that four letter word that begins with F? Add PG&E to it!
