The problem electric vehicles / tools need to solve

Just saw an ad for an electric lawn mower. I know it saves the world and all that, but there’s one simple problem.

When your gas mower is out of gasoline, you add some gas and you’re good to go. It takes about a minute.

If your electric lawn mower is out of juice, you have to charge a battery for several hours.

This is the main problem with electric whatevers. Before they will catch on, they need a quick recharge option.

Free that shaman dude

We’ve been told a very partisan and twisted version of the events of January 6, and now Tucker Carlson is revealing a (probably equally) partisan and twisted view of the events.

The biggest revelation from Carlson is that lawyers for Jacob Chansley, the so-called QAnon Shaman, were not given the tapes that Carlson is now showing. Those tapes should have been in evidence at the man’s trial, and it’s horrible that the lawyers weren’t even able to see them.

It seems to me that his conviction should be overturned and whoever kept those (possibly exonerating) tapes under wraps should be punished.

I’m glad Carlson is releasing these tapes, but he sounds a bit like the mainstream media, standing in front of a bunch of fires pronouncing the BLM protests “mostly peaceful.”

Maybe once the tapes are out for all to see we can get a more accurate picture of what actually happened that day — rather than the manicured version that promotes a particular point of view.

TV shows about female characters

I don’t like it when somebody takes a male character and puts a female in that role. E.g., a female Sherlock Holmes, or when people want to create a female James Bond.

Write your own character!! Or are you saying that it’s impossible to make a compelling female character without borrowing a successful male character? Surely not.

So when I saw that Netflix had a show about the first female lawyer in Italy — who was also a detective — I gave it a try. It’s called Lidia Poet.

It has some unnecessary sex scenes, but the first episode was enjoyable.

The Jesus Revolution

Mrs. C and I saw it last night. It’s worth watching. I expected more of a documentary about the Jesus movement. It was more of a love story, set against the background of the Jesus movement.

The movie is very relevant because (by some counts) we’re overdue for another revival in the United States.

Personally, I think that’s the only chance we survive as a nation (in anything like our current form).
