Ok, so "MrFootballTalk" on twitter should be banned from TKP. Because UGA didn't hire Shane or AMo and Sumlin hasn't been fired....at least not that anyone knows about.
So do we know what the surgery was for, or how it went?
It may not take a genius, but does it take the right scheme and athletes to run it. not saying Chizik is not smart (I would not know), but his scheme, and the athletes he recruits for it, have never been very good on run stopping, just run limiting, which they apparently forgot or got to tired to do.
Diesel is a good alternative to gas but doesn't really have a clear edge against hybrids except in utlilty/towing applications. Both have more expensive drivetrains. Both get great MPG. But hybrids typically run on regular gas which still costs less than diesel fuel.
As a Volkswagen fan, I definitely looked into diesel options closely as well. At the time (and maybe still, I'm unsure) the additional cost of diesel fuel for the same MPGs my Fusion gets (I hover around 46, personally) made it not as cost effective to go diesel.
To Samuel L's defense, Palpatine only defeated 3 Jedi knights quickly. Mace Windu, a Jedi Master, had Palpatine defeated until Anakin came and distracted him allowing for Palpatine's sucker punch lighting attack.
For efficiency, cost of operation, pay back it seems the diesels are hard to beat. You'll pay less up front and get as good or better mileage (45-50 on many) and diesel fuel price has come WAY down.
In my case, electricity is either 9 cents/kwh (from solar at home) or free (from public chargers). So operating costs are going to be next to nothing.
There is an addon for any Firestick or Roku owners called Kodi. It used to be called XBMC and was used on the Xbox. The legality of this site is in question due to the enormous amount of content available (live TV from around the globe, Movies that are released in Theaters at Midnight are viewable by 6AM same day) so take that into account before using but I have yet to not find ANYTHING I wanted to watch....period. I watched Mayweather/Pacquiao for free and all other PPV without fail. Again I am not endorsing this as a "legal" practice although I have been told that it is overseas so it is exempt from US protection just putting it out there for any banditos out there. Also, it can be used on a PC/laptop as well. Youtube Kodi.
The difference being in the energy losses- large powerplants make more power from the same amount of fossil fuel as your car, since the scale, lack of weight restriction, and fewer size restrictions allows engineers to design a much more efficient system. So while the electricity to drive an electric car may indeed come from a non-renewable source at the powerplant, it's still more efficient than the internal combustion engine in a regular car.
Yes, definitely should flip that statement. Was written in haste while walking into the mall.
But yes, I'm excluding all of the things you mentioned and only comparing the style of music.
I care about the environment and our impending fossil fuel situation... but basically this. When I bought my hybrid, I was driving 80 miles a day, 5 days a week (fuel was also more expensive at the time too). And I'm about to be doing much more than that for awhile. As I was doing my research, I calculated that it would take me less than a year to save back the additional upfront cost of buying the hybrid Fusion over a normal one, and everything since then has been additional savings for me.
Some cars aren't even more expensive off the lot for the hybrid versions, such as the Lincoln MKZ.
But as for your original question, the math's been done. Even if you power an electric vehicle by a coal-fired plant, assuming one charge per day, the electric car results in fewer greenhouse gases than a comparable gas-powered internal combustion engine.
Yes, greenhouse gases. But how do you compare pollution from greenhouse gases to pollution from lead/mercury/whatever at the mines? The answer is that you don't. I had a professor of advanced vehicle technologies at tech tell us all about how much of a mess making batteries is and how bad it is for the environment and that you couldn't say pound for pound that they had less impact than a high efficiency diesel. Then he went on to tell us he drives a Prius because a) it's cheaper for him directly and b) any time you can push the pollution production up the line (suppliers rather than consumers) you consolidate the problem and it's easier to address. You can implement a strategy at a single coal plant to reduce emissions a heck of a lot easier than on every individual car.
VTGuitarMan emerges to post on TKP....
Both, my in laws are Buckeyes, and the food was awesome. I married a great wife who knows how to throw down in the kitchen.
Legs for pointing out the "third string" qb meme that was completely inaccurate. Cardale wasn't a 3rd string. He competed for the starting job, lost it, and was second string for all of spring, summer, and regular season (minus the one week Braxton was there).
Your dad is my kind of guy!
The Beamer quote from Tech Talk Live was "Dwayne Lawson is very talented, but he has to get other parts of his life squared away." That does not sound like he was having issues learning the playbook. Hopefully he will be back in the Spring as a focused individual ready to show the world what he is capable of.
My favorite is when you see a "COEXIS" sticker (where the owner cut off the "t" before putting it on)
If you never practice snapping under center, you likely don't want to first start doing it in a game.
Lockie averaged something like 5.5 yards per passing attempt this year. You'd have to complete 80% of your passes for that to be okay.
Chris Coleman on TSL said that Bud "took some convincing."
Maybe that is in relation to losing Cornell. Maybe Bud wanted to pick his own assistant instead of being handed the guy who introduced Fuente to his now-wife.

# | Galen Scott Will Join Justin Fuente's Staff at Virginia Tech I think this a great hire. Let's hope we see on the field results! I like that we get a good/great recruiter, coach and it frees up Bud to "lord" over the D.
For those thinking this is Fu's way of "getting his guy inside the D"...do you really think Bud didn't weight in, interview and approve this hire?
Uhhh, cheaper maybe?
My dad drives a prius, he gives less than two shits about the environment. In the 80's, he drove a Chevy Citation (look it up, ugly as hell). He just doesn't want to spend money on gas.
I can see why that would infuriate you.
