I like raspberry ice cream. Can't find it very often but like it when I do.

And ice cream, don't forget the ice cream...

So it only shines while you crank? That would be inconvenient... Take it apart, there's a battery in there...

I think you missed my point. Batteries my not be able power those professions vehicles yet but every single one of them depends on batteries to start the engines they do have not to mention peripheral devices like emergency radios and GPS. My point was batteries are everywhere and we become...

Maybe, but we're becoming a society that depends more and more on them. I've tried and find it difficult to think of a profession that isn't becoming dependent to some degree on them.

And yet Europe uses 400v daily without undo harm to the common man. Are you afraid of parking under or near a service transformer? There's 7200 volts in that metal box in subdivisions that children play on every day. Don't dismiss 110v either, I've known 2 people electrocuted with 110v.

That right there is the most important point made! When the first model T rolled off the assembly line who would have invisioned what we have today? The Interstate system, gas stations everywhere, the advancements and variety of vehicles available not to mention the shear numbers of cars on...

I wonder when we'll start to see competitions/records being set for cross country trips with commercially available EVs? It seems to me that the infrastructure is similar to the very early days of ICE and aviation when everyone was trying to be the first to drive/fly cross country and then to be...

I'm not sure w,hy you think 440v would be very dangerous? It would be no different than being killed by a pick-up VS a dump truck, you'll still be dead. In the US it would be extravagantly expensive to do in a private residence but no more dangerous than the current 220v. If it were wouldn't we...

It wasn't Mom, it was the nosey neighbors who shared the line picking up and listening. Our number was State7-xxxx Our ring was one short and two long...

What about pay phones. I remember, barely, when they were a Nickel. How long before the origin of "Drop a dime on someone" is lost?

Parents hell, when I was a teenager we had a "party line". Definitely not as fun as it sounds.

At some point new ones will. Definitely not in my lifetime, probably not in my children's lifetimes but a new ICE vehicle likely won't be an option for my grandkids.

So you'll what? Go buy an electric Camaro or electric Challenger?

For me it's mostly moot anyway. At 65 I suspect I'll be able to drive whatever I want/can afford as long as I'm still able to drive. Past that I'll just hope for a fast wheelchair.
