Posted by Balrog on 14 Jul 2025 at 10:24AM
I really like the idea of hybrid cars -- why should the engine idle when one is stopped or going at low speed? Such a great idea.
I do like the idea of being able to fuel up less often.
A friend has a dual hybrid/electric car; in my mind, the best of both worlds - most of his driving is relatively close, so he can use the electric motor for about 80% of his driving. This means that a tank of gas lasts him over 2,000 miles.
An co-worker once sneeringly pointed out that in hybrid or dual hybrid/electric cars, the extra cost is not covered by the savings in gasoline. But I'm still in awe of my friend only needing to get gasoline so infrequently.
I wouldn't like an electric car; certainly not for distance travel: you'd run out of power, and then be trapped at the recharge station for hours waiting for a recharge. At least with gasoline engines, you can be on your way in a few minutes.

I'll bet you didn't have a Toyota.
"Toyota provides a hybrid battery warranty lasting 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first, beginning on the date of first use. This warranty shows Toyota’s confidence in their hybrid batteries, increasing from the earlier 8-year/100,000-mile coverage, effective for the model year 2020.
Replacement costs for a Toyota hybrid battery can vary significantly. On average, a new hybrid battery may range from $2,000 to $4,000, depending on the model and dealership pricing."
We have had 2 Prius's, and 2 Camry hybrids and now have a Honda SUV hybrid. My brother has had 2 Prius's. My son has a hybrid. My daughter has had 2 Prius's. No problems with any of them, except for daughter's first Prius. It was 7 years old when battery went bad. Toyota replaced it @ NO COST!

I had one years ago, good gas mileage, the only problem is the battery.
It is very expensive to replace. All the money I saved on gas went out the window to replace the battery. It's not worth it!!
Ps:: The battery lasted less than 5 years.
I believe the battery costs $5000 to replace.

I once owned a pair of elephant bell hip huggers. They had a 30 inch waist and 40 inch bells. I tripped crossing the street in them and tore a hole in one of the knees the first day I wore them. They were grey corduroy with a blue denim knee patch. I added two 6 inch blue denim triangles to each leg to make them 50 inch bells (two 1/2 inch seams on each triangle).

We were not spoiled as children. Of course, the three of us shared the small bedroom. The family didn't have a TV until we were a bit older, and there was only one channel to watch anyway in those days. We had a few wooden toys that we played with and were happy with that. No pets, but we didn't miss that. Of course we shared sweets when it was Saturday.

Growing up, my mom always warned me: “Never eat peanut butter off a spoon—put it on bread!” Naturally, I ignored her for the next fifty years.
Then one fateful day, while scraping the last stubborn bits from a nearly empty jar, I went full rebel and ate it straight off the spoon. Bad idea. I choked. Not the “cough and clear your throat” kind—I’m talking full-blown, peanut-butter-glued-my-throat-shut kind of choking.
I tried water. Nope. Tried the self-Heimlich. Nada. Pure panic set in.
In a moment of MacGyver level desperation, I grabbed a chopstick, tilted my head back, and started poking at the peanut butter. Miraculously, it worked.

Hmmm.. good point, I suppose it's just I've always referred to it as a salad crop and maybe associated vegetables as something usually cooked.
Technically you're correct that fungi aren't veg as they don't come from plants, similarly kelp is often also referred to as a vegetable.
I suppose it comes down to botanical vs culinary terminology as many vegetables are in fact fruits.
Herbs are a further complication, as this is really a culinary term, the botanical term herbaceous (meaning herb-like) are plants without woody stems. Hence bananas are often mis-catagorised as herbs, rather than fruits that grow on a herbaceous plant rather than a tree.
Again I much prefer cabbage raw than cooked, except red cabbage with I love both raw & cooked

@fatdaddy, I used to only grind my own London Broils to make hamburgers or any other need for Chop meat.. I still don't like to purchase ground beef from any market or anything.. I used to have the Tupperware hamburger makers and used to freeze the burgers because my girls loved my home ground burgers..

I tend to make my own out of mince (ground beef if you are from over the pond) from the butchers now and again, but I probably do this maybe 10 times a year. Maccy D is a total last resort, only to be entered if starving and no other food in miles - I worked there 20 years ago and it was horrible then 😂 you can tell the quality has gone down further since.

I don't care for McDonald's, but there is a place around the corner that does big half pound organic beef burgers and they are D Lish with bacon, grilled onions and avocado, a couple kinds of cheeses, tomato and crunchy lettuce.

I used to eat a lot of hamburgers. Not anymore. With the current legislative body content you don't know what they're allowing in that ground beef mixture. I don't use ground meat in anything. I don't eat sausages, hot dogs etc.

As MacDonalds operates in 120 countries, I would say probably not.
I would say that hot dogs don't seem so popular outside USA though

Yes it appears that the British "Smarties" name was used 12 years before the American one. The Smarties candies were created at least 55 years before that.

Not quite.
Orange Smarties originally contained orange-flavoured chocolate, however, these days the orange flavour is added to the shell only.

And that's not the only possible self improvement scenario.

Scarcely ever having been part of a "couple", I voted for money. It seems others agree. Money is a proxy for power, and as individual creatures we necessarily want our own way and regard others as agents or potential agents of our pleasure or displeasure.
I see "coupledom" as a contrived arrangement where "the tug of war" is greater or lesser.
Women want more money and men want more women. What could possibly go wrong in the world

Lent has its origins in pagan religion. Notwithstanding, there are other observances like Ramadan that also seeks to subsume what practices came before... (The early Church having seen that couldn't eliminate some level of fasting decided that if you can't beat them then join them...)
The forgoing of luxury - usually food - as in Shrove Tuesday when all the nice stuff was eaten up to inaugurate a period of "going without"...
My point is this: winter going into spring is the natural time for eating less. In very recent years I've taken to narrowing my eating window in order to lose a little flab.
Mythology is a useful medium for passing on useful information to those who come after and live a faith based life — most people — rather than a life based on knowledge.
