If you can afford one.

Tesla cars are only for the financial elite.

If you are going to build an electric RV I hope you get a lot of government funding so that you can waste good taxpayers money for he sake of proving that something can be done but maybe should not be done.

When you electric RV runs out of juice someplace north of Nome in the dead of Winter, don't call me, eh?

That was always Tesla's, first make a super expensive, fast car to draw everyone's attention, then less expensive and finally one suited for mass production.

I may also point out that Tesla has already done this but for another company, Mercedes, when Tesla was nearly bankrupt Mercedes gave them a few million dollars to create an all electric version of the smart car which is a ridiculously small car (only good for the city really) but somewhat affordable.

http://www.smartusa.com/models/electric-drive/overview.aspx

Cheapest new electric car (if you call it a car), Designed with Tesla's technology $12,500

I love travelling in any way possible, if a small vehicle now can get 300 miles of range and a microwave and a few other appliances can be run from the solar panels (which people are doing even today) then I don't see why there can't be an electric camper.

Furthermore the electric engine used in Tesla's is tiny and extremely powerful, the thing would fly and there would be a ton of extra space (like in Tesla's cars).

Eventually as batteries improve, electrics are bound to beat other vehicles where range is concerned, A small but efficient generator can always be used to generate electricity more efficiently than an engine (constant RPM) without having to be as powerful and big as the engine itself in case of emergencies. Also a big cost of RVs is fuel which would be minimized.

TLDR: Electric cars are not for rich people, An electric RV would be superior.

I also look up to the way Warren Buffet made his money. He is the very definition of sound investing.

Elon Musk founder of Tesla, I'd love to work in one of his factories designing electric cars.


 

I'd love to design an all electric RV with smart glasses, a system that adds 95% alcohol to several stuff to make beverages, an inside dependable water supply, self inflating tires, futuristic doors and everything you need to have fun travelling on the road including many ways to generate electricity such as expandable solar arrays, turbines that can be dropped into a river and held with a rope to generate electricity and incredible efficiency with AC due to the smartglass.

Like an ultra high tech camper. I'd live in it. Also it would have a few small areas for dedicated hydroponics and a very primitive food printer/replicator.

This is the life for me, on the road, looking for adventure, i'm sure many others have that dream and a car like this could quickly become a lifestyle for the few who want something like this enough.

TLDR, like Elon Musk proved that an electric car can be fun and sexy and better then a gasoline vehicle I want to prove that an electric RV can excellent for traveling.

I am the Prince Regent of Florida but I've run into a problem, I need to file for my papers so I need 10 BTC, anyone who sends some to this address will get 10 times as much when I am prince.

*Note that this is for satirical purposes, I don't need any money, I'll have a nice job in a few months and I'll be quite independent thank you

In fact if you send me money, I'll go and buy a bunch of alcohol and drink it then drive drunk and crash my car killing a dozen of children.

Satoshi and his quotes...

"Dec. 12, 2010: We should have a gentleman’s agreement to postpone the GPU arms race as long as we can for the good of the network. It’s much easer to get new users up to speed if they don’t have to worry about GPU drivers and compatibility. It’s nice how anyone with just a CPU can compete fairly equally right now."

All I have to say is ooooops!

"Inclusive capitalism" is probably just another word for "socialism." Some things I'd like to see are:

3) People on welfare should have to work on "community service" projects for so many hours a week along with proving that they aren't spending the money on drugs and partying, or they just won't get the monthly check.


What are such projects that don't take away real jobs that pay money?

Pointless work is a waste and if the work isn't pointless one should be paid for it.



Construction of log houses for the homeless!

1087  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 10 Amazing Acts Of Defiance Throughout History on: May 28, 2014, 02:46:14 PM
The Greek States VS the Persian Empire in thermopylae

20,000 men against 300,000.... And they won.

The Greeks lost 4k men the Persians lost 20k.

2nd failed invasion in a row by Persia.


What makes this an act of defiance is that Leonidas started marching with only 300 hoplites and then others joined him to form the army of 14-20k that defeated the Persians.


If no one had joined him he would have picked a battle nearly 1 vs 1000

That would only make sense if he had invented the AK-47 2200 years in advance and each solider had 34 magazines of ammo and were really, really, really good shots.

I'm an atheist. For every 10 BTC you send to me I will hold back from dispelling nonsensical religious arguments for 24 Hours.

1KVu26gEeox75AontirmywHqYEcTVhiLtK

only if u support PETA (people for the public execution of animals)

Yes, but to support PETA you will also have to suck a dick, not mine necessarily but a dick none the less.
1091  Other / Off-topic / Re: HALP - relationship problems on: May 28, 2014, 01:06:07 AM
does anyone else have a hard time connecting with chicks? at least most of them.. i want to be able to talk to a chick about the random musings in my mind, and have her understand what i'm talking about. i also want someone who will be an equal and won't let me manipulate/walk over her (though i don't like doing it). i just like to know that a girl can push back just as hard, when provoked. i don't want a subservient housemaid who will give me children and sex.

I do, my best friend is a woman though.

I had the urges to bang her and we both touched each other a little too much, I killed it for a little and it was weird.

I'm up front with her and It is really weird, we're no more then friends, she's okay with me doing anything to anyone but it's very complicated.

Saving a long term friendship should be the priority. Assess what you may lose from doing this then be upfront.

Don't take any advice from me on human relationships though, unless you're ready for the utter annihilation of your social life.

Lady luck can be a bitch. I was thinking of gambling a little bit, maybe with a 5 Bitcent limit.

I think the trick is setting limits or not gambling at all.

The considering an X amount of funds gone strategy would work very well if you had implemented it.

If you feel like gambling again just send the BTC to me!

BTW: I feel your pain I've lost about 0.1 BTC in bitbet bets.

It is possible that a few years from now maybe 1 Billion people will be using bitcoin. So 2.1 bitcents is a fair share.

So, do you have $12?

Change the title, it is misleading.

I was always really into sexcoin so I'll keep holding and maybe in the future I'll be able to buy an advanced sex robot for like 1000 SXC.

Or maybe I'll set up sex workshops for bored couples and get paid in SXC for this great service.

I'm just like you.

My wrong move was buying hardware from BFL. It payed itself of and bought me a nice cellphone but I have very little BTC.

As far as bitcoin is concerned I think it's the future, of course it could go down the drain.

This is still a very risky investment Hell it can double in 6 months or it could go down to $100.... You still have the same choice you had then.

You could get a bunch of BTC and the price could go to 2k.... or to $200....

No-one can make decisions for you.

Existential crisis huh?

The short answer is the meaning that we give it. No-one else can dictate what is important in your life but you.

From an evolutionary standpoint it is clear to see a few things that you may find compelling.

Many would argue that we are defined by our relationships to other people and that we can find meaning through them.

This is one of those questions that each person can only answer for themselves.

I seek to find people out there that are like me and think in similar ways. I want to improve humanity. I want to do something that makes it better for other people in the future. I want to take a part in making things right.

There is no wrong answer.
