That's you, hanging around someone's neck, pointing out all of the minor details that grind your gears...

I see Patriot Front on that list.  I was hoping to get some answers as to who was backing that group (which agency).

That seems like it is getting away from their normal style.

A little something from Ben's neck of the woods

Yeah, Boise politics are run by the North End. The North End is sort of like Portland as a neighborhood.

Good time to add a relay anyway- that way you can run some serious wire to the lights and get full voltage. And with bigger wire, the relays and fuses can near the battery.
I changed out the lighting on my bike from a H-4 to a H11 and H9 , separately powered through two fuses with two relays (for redundancy.)
IIRC, used a diode on the control wire from the handlebar switch to keep both lights on on high beam.

I always li,e to see more modern rifles on the market and reaching new people, but there is no chance I would buy or recommend someone else buy that thing over any of the 12 or so models of AR that are under $500 at PSA any given day.

Good on Hi-Poimt for trying, but come on.

Also, the pendant in me has to point out that that rifle is clearly not "Full Mil-Spec"  so one has to wonder what spec it is.

For those who lament the loss of "stripped" base model trucks, the electric Slate (available only in the color slate) Under $20K with incentives:

Without knowing how well this truck will be built, I actually like the concept, even (or maybe especially) as a farm truck. Given Winter driving, it would be nice if it had another 100 miles of range (currently 150). I can easily do a 100 mile round trip for a farm store, home depot, and whatever else run. The 150 would be cutting it close given that it is max range under ideal conditions. Otherwise a simple cab and a bed that will take a flat sheet of plywood is reminiscent of the F-100.

Interesting.

I can do without a radio, sound system, entertainment system, whatever. 

The windows crank.  I can do without air conditioning in the summer. 

Can't do without heat in the winter.  I wonder how that's accomplished.   Electric heating, using heat pump or straight resistance heating, is going to cut into the range.  The old air cooled VWs could be had with optional gas heater, which is a thought.

Being all electric, the burden of meeting air quality emissions standards is just gone.  (I assume.)  Lower cost possible on that account.

The 240 mile battery upgrade -- a separate battery module can that be added down the line?

I could see getting one in SUV configuration.
