US parts prices are ... WOW ... There was a time when there were junkyards, guess there aren't so many as once.

Talking the talk is popular with these guys. They know it helps their image. In this case, it's gaslighting.

On the whole, car should be lighter (-engine & parts,-muffler,-fuel tank) ... depending on # batteries needed (+ holding structure + cables)(might lose the back seat). Same Transmission/drive train needs.

Here's a picture of it while it's still in the shop. https://inspenet.com/en/noticias/nasa-tests-solar-sail-in-solar-in-orbit/

Oh, for sure. Heat pumps are a-comin, dear Lisa.

Yeh, she was outstanding. That 'poor little deer' scene in that Brooklyn accent alone.

Yep, it's really a lot of fun. A little hard on some parts of both southern culture and NY culture, but just enough to make it even funnier. Not just Pesci as a lawyer and all the lawyer jokes; making a judge out of Fred Gwynne so he could make all those facial expressions he'd perfected was a casting winner. So was Marisa Tomei. And the characters that played witnesses ... to this day when I'm saying 'I guess' it always comes out with that drawl. Every scene in the film was comical first, and never let up. Masterpiece.

Other'n a couple others named? My Cousin Vinny.

(Some quotes to help my arguement: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104952/quotes/ )

Margaret Hamilton (witch) in a sci-fi Wizard of Oz remake. Oh hell, let's throw Burt Lahr (lion) in there too.

Haven't heard about the NASA design yet, but JAXA's 2010 IKAROS used "Eighty blocks of LCD panels are embedded in the sail, whose reflectance can be adjusted for attitude contro ".

by signing your name to it, you’re swearing that it’s all true.

Lawyers too use qualifiers like 'To the best of our knowledge' and 'in our studied opinion' to indicate that opinions may differ. That's why judges exist, and some of them are -so reasonable- that they will accept that people cannot be expected to decide whether a hospital's decision to operate -immediately- is not good enough.

These US 'insurance' companies are in the business of making money from people's health problems. In MOST OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD that's not how health-care works. We, the people of the US, let the system get rigged this way ... we have to fix that. Permanently.

Thanks for reminding me of a great film I saw in theatres long ago... I was at a con once and heard Barry (spouse and I both liked 'Enemy') and bought his Workshop book ... good to see he's still kicking ...

and thanks too for hooking me up with Feral Historian's stuff (like his style) which I might never have found otherwise..
