GM goes further down the dumper; NiHM battery supplier broke due to Chevron

"Zito" Noodles isn't "wind chill"...he's "bad gas"...probably from
eating that tainted homemade sauSEECH again!

Do not be surprised to see her take Ohio and Texas. Obama peaked too
early this time, and her support among women in Ohio is 17-18% now,
depending on which poll you glean, and now up to 14% in Texas,
according to Quinnipiac.

Doesn't matter; either of them can beat McCain handily. Once McCain
melts down into sludge on the stump (as he always does) it'll be game
over. Also, now, it looks like the Dems will be able to assuredly
pick up four seats in the Senate, with MAYBE a fifth...thus giving
them cloture power again. That will make the GOP in the Senate
irrelevant.

 

Hillary went down the dumper in a grand fashion, not GMdBob, dBob......Hillary is, I believe, known as the
ice lady.

 

The only thing irrelevant is your slime's importance to the universal DNA
pool.

 

I hope you are in good shape, that a rather large area and things a pretty
far apart up there.

....JUST the type of lady you need to stare down those corporate
asshole's, I would think. You'd want a milquetoast or a lapdog like
Bush to handle them? I thinketh not.

23°C here today...another record for February 29th...except there are
only ¼ the amount of February 29ths to compare to in history.

Someone really needs to wind up that orbital clock again.

 

Another paean of grief from a cowering righttard. They're all doing
the same thing now on Usenet, bemoaning the loss of their delusional
fantasy world. Go back under your rock from whence you came in the
'50s, morons-in-general. We've thrown Willie Buckley's carrion under
there to keep you company.

 

You have an amazing power of observation then. There is no association
between wind-chill and your car starting.

What are CAA wait times? In what way do they confirm your car starting
easier or with more difficulty?

Exposed flesh is completely different than inanimate objects. Do yourself a
favor before you make yourself look even more foolish - go read up on
wind-chill.

Of course - that's because you are a (ready...?) human. Wind chill affects
humans and some animals. Not inanimate objects. With statements like this
(above), you really prove that your observation skills need work.

 

To take it a little further in the sidebar - many animals are not subject to
wind-chill. Those with heavy coats that protect their skin from exposure
don't really experience wind-chill - or at least not in any way similar to
what humans do.

You figure it out for me, I'm too duhmn....

Read up? Why? I live in it 5 months a year. Which is, I
suppose, pretty foolish.

(ready?) Hey-yoh.
And I am still not sure why my original observation (based on the last
several week's experience) that:
A car sitting in about -34C with no wind will
stand a better chance starting than one sitting in -34C with a windchill
of -46.
is so outrageous. Perhaps there were other phenomena at work. Or maybe the
windchill had me so flummoxed the car started and I did not even realize it.
As they say, the windchill separates the men from the boys. Or maybe the
wind drives the temperature of the engine to the ambient temperature
quicker. Or maybe the wind blew snow into the engine compartment which
melted and buggered up the electricals. Or maybe the windchill caused a
gnawing animal to crawl into the still warm engine bay and they chewed up
some wiring.
I am still dubious about electric cars in Winnipeg.

According to the charts I am obese! If I am not careful I
will not fit into the Fiero this summer. The charts do not lie.

 

And also heat generating objects/machines. A car is not generating heat
when turned off.

Canuckian Automobile Association, the "cooler" counterpart to AAA down
south.

CAA tow truck driver turns key, gets a sullen "rrrrrrrrRRRRRRrrrrr,"
pulls key out, looks at owner and say, "She's cold, eh. Let's put a
heater on 'er. Gotta Molson's, eh?"

Alternate take: "We're NOT gonna crash, eh...this is a BEER truck,
eh!"

 

I would be the opposite. Conductors have less resistance at cold
temperatures. "Gel state" or semi-solid or matted state batteries
(BAT-trees up there, eh) are far less affected by cold than were
aqueous H2SO4 lead-calcium cells, especially when holding a full
charge, Also, like the turbojet engine, the electric motor (especially
AC) only has one moving part...the armature, while the piston engine
can have thousands, all depending on lubrication and proper
clearances.

Besides, if electric traction was so bad in cold weather, why were
both CPR and CNR so eager to dieselize their motive power in the
1950s? Reason: Diesel-electric is FAR more reliable in cold weather
than was steam...although both roads had some pretty impressive
engines in their day, eh.

Coming up soon?

Don't think DC traction motors are the end all/be all, either. US and
Canuckian RRs have been on variable frequency AC traction for more
than a decade now, obviating the usual arced commutators and wearing
brushes, and with greater tractive effort and less weight (no huge
pole shoes to add to the heft.) GM and Ford are clueless about the
technology, even though GM had been building AC traction locomotives
(in Canada, eh...they don't build anything in the US anymore, but that
may change) before unloading the whole division on foreign investors
last year. AC traction, once adopted will make the current (not a
pun) DC traction obsolete overnight, mainly due to copper cost savings
and superior power/weight ratios. Of course, first, we have to get
Bil Oil to quit blocking electric automotive traction development, as
ChevronTexico blatantly is now...with George Bush Bird's blessing,
obviously.

Sure sign of $4/gal. gas this summer:

Beauty, eh?!

 

Did Bush manage to get that entire sentence out without either stopping to
think, or smiling, as though he was looking directly at the sun?

G'day. If you guys start singing the 12 Days of Christmas, I'm going to
