Electric cars still a bit shite

[Steve Firth]

Why?

Not all of us. You may be waste, but I am stardust, I am golden.

How west is the "West Country"? according to some it includes Gloucestershire - that's Bristol out of London - phew.

[Huge]

Nice. Googling "Dunning-Kruger Effect" is illuminating, also.

[Steve Firth]

A friend of mine extended Cipolla's idea and write "The Power of Stupidity" which is also worth a read. Although he was a tad pissed off when I pointed out that basic idea had been hammered out by Henry Kuttner in 1951 with the story "Day of the Moron".

Heh, without that Usenet would be very different. No Sexually Transmitted Cole with his grand reforms of UK usenet for a start.

If it works. Another straw to grasp at. Drivel. So what we then get is heat. So we raise steam and it is actually a steam car?

Heh, heh. What a load of old bollocks. Stop every thirty miles to pick up water? BTW, do some research as to why steam locmotives never had condensers. (In anticipation of the drivel)

Amazing how the simple minded are taken in by pseudo-technology. The usual suspects here of course.

[harryagain]

You ARE barking mad. Go and take somelithium at once.

[Huge]

Did you mean H. Beam Piper's "Day of the Moron", or more likely, Cyril Kornbluth's "The Marching Morons"?

Tee-hee.

[harryagain]

Anybody that the pinnacle of motoring is the Dacia Sandero needs help. It's just a Renault built by monkeys and child labour anyway.

[harryagain]

No that's about right. They are all living somewhere. Pushing up the priceof houses and land.

[harryagain]

South and East of Watford Gap.

[Adrian]

...and there was me today, looking at a couple of Rightmove ads for well located building plots with PP for 3-4bed houses, not selling despite being well

[harryagain]

I never drive "many hundreds of miles."

[Adrian]

Here we have two people who desperately need to be shown a map of the UK.

[Adrian]

That explains why your outlook is so narrow.

[Steve Firth]

Has no friends [X] Has no family [X] No one wants to see him [X]

[Steve Firth]

But still better than some shonky battery car. For a start you can actually get somewhere in a Sandero.

[Steve Firth]

Oh bugger yes. I blame age.

[Tim Streater]

No it takes you up to iron, because all those fusion reactions that far are exothermic. Beyond that they are endothermic and only happen in a supernova.

[Steve Firth]

BTW, I wonder if you're aware of this:

It seems to fit with your ideas about the management of such things as the railways.

[dennis]

Aberdeen would fit south of a such a line. Maybe there was a specific line?
