How much is petrol per gallon near you?

Not questioning your footprint, but how is 12.4 mpg a small footprint?... I mean, I don't get much better... like 16 avg.
No kids.
By opting not to bring someone else into this world - who will drain resources, contribute to pollution, etc - who will then, most likely, bring someone else into it, I'm limiting the impact to just one lifetime. So... 12.4mpg and long showers and I sleep fine at night

I can appreciate that. Why overpopulate?.. it's just contributing to the worlds problems. I do have 1 son, but he's 33 and has his own business in Cali... no grandkids either. I think I scared the shit out of him to have them. They're expensive, sometimes cumbersome on the family, non contributors, oxygen thieves, and a waste of space and resources... I like the way you think.

Yep, the electrics have finally caught up. But there's nothing like a loud ass roaring engine! And no charging. Just add more Nitro fuel.
I fly drones and fixed wing RC airplanes.. I gotta admit that I do like the 7000mah battery's on my Draco. No oily mess to wipe down the plane like in the old days, and I have enough batteries and a 400w charger that I can rotate all evening long and not run out of juice.... plus, I don't have to buy nitro fuel.

Having worked in a driveline shop when I was in tech school, I have to ask what OEM is putting out such crappy shafts?
This dude was a "professional gambler".. he'd hit a jackpot, and go buy the most expensive shit he wanted.. Im sure the hobby store guy was like "yeah, you can upgrade to 10,000mah!"... but didn't know that it was just too much torque for that stock driveline. ..... but!.. he kept selling him more!...... then when he got broke, all of us would buy his shit for pennies on the dollar.... toys, AR15's, it was like a garage sale.

Im not a cyclist or runner, but occasionally if Im in a good mood, and I see a runner on the road in town, I'll yell out "YOU CAN'T RUN FROM YOUR PROBLEMS!!!!"
i don't know why i think it's so funny, but when i'm riding my scooter and pass a bicyclist, i yell "EVOLVE!" at them....i don't even know if they hear me over the scooter and through the helmet...

I was in the Polaris Dealership today (they also sell Honda) getting oil and filter for my Polaris Ranger.. there she sat..... a 2023 Honda ADV 150. God, I wanted to ride that thing home. Paige is in Europe... I could hide it in the shop.. she never goes in there... but then how would I ride it off the property and she not see me????...... Im too financially responsible I guess.

Another favorite of mine...since I have some time on my hands, is when a live cold call comes through, and I'll always pick up. I let them go through thier whole sales pitch, and then say "Do what?".... they'll say it again, and I just keep saying "Do what?" till they hang up.
