  1. Calling into question the validity of the field doesn't mean Peterson must be accepted in a governing body of said field. I can call into question the validity and usefulness of plenty of religious studies. That doesn't mean that a person of faith may not find such things useful.
  2. They didn't rule on the the nature of his conduct. They ruled that the regulating body has the right to dictate the conduct of its members. Again, I'll go back to the Religious example. Are religious institutions allowed to dictate the conduct of the people working for it and the opinions they make public? Or any workplace for that matter. Is it China North for a workplace to fire someone for hateful content online?
  3. It could be both. The Hippocratic oath for Medical Doctors is a code of conduct, not a demonstration of medical knowledge. Lawyers can be disbarred for certain unprofessional conduct. I'm surprised this is a concept difficult for some to comprehend.
  4. Yes, Peterson is being put in a camp and deprogrammed. ? Do you honestly believe the tripe you type?
  5. Or a Social Media gas-bag. Which, I suspect is far more lucrative to Mr. Peterson than being a practicing Psychologist.
  6. Why? both bodies are governed by subjective standards.
  7. I'm sure he can still see "patients". He just can't say he's part of the professional body. Would it be an attack of Freedom of Speech if a Pastor that taught that Abortion isn't murder and Pre-marital sex isn't a sin was fired from a Church?
  8. Are you restricted from hearing Peterson's opinions?
  9. I'm OK with a governing body for a profession have subjective codes of conduct for those who can be part of that organization.
  10. Peterson is free to have the speech he wants. He's not being jailed or even fined. But this governing body also has the right to certify people or not depending on how they conduct themselves. I'm actually surprised they even allowed him to save face by doing such training. Peterson is a provocateur, nothing more.
  11. I don't envy anyone looking for a vehicle right now. The buyer has zero leverage.
  12. It's an opinion piece more making fun of the Left's instinct to ban things that pose a relatively low risk. Motor Vehicle accidents (EV or ICE) are high on any list of accidental deaths.
  13. Sure if enough people were using too much electricity we'd get brown outs or black outs. Capacity has to go up. Now, by how much? People who get paid to figure that out, have to figure that out. But OW was making the case that an individual board would overload. In charging an EV, I'm using 32 Amps. That's it, now I may be doing it over the course of 6 hours, but I've never blown a circuit using my EV.
  14. It's all conjecture. Would they collapse the grid if they were used at night? I'm not sure. I know that I'm not seeing the kind of hydro bills a Grow Op would see. Sure it's more, but not a LOT more. Grids most certainly will have to expand if we're going to electrify. That's just a reality. I'd like to know how we eventually plan to move from Natural Gas furnaces to Heat Pumps. Because that's also gotta be on government's radars. That would be more of an impetus to upgrade the grid than EVs.
  15. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/10/us/politics/trump-roger-stone-clemency.html
  16. In the way Trump did yeah. Look what Roger Stone was up to before the election was even called.
  17. You're the one who brought it up again. I guess it's just a deflection. We can focus on Trump's indicted attempts to steal the 2020 election.
  18. I like how your scenario uses the biggest battery available. As mentioned, I've had a 30 amp EV charge running at the same time as my AC, Dryer and Dishwasher. They're all on different circuits. And I live in a townhouse.
  19. But the investigation into Russia was what Trumpers were whining about through that period. Mueller for example. Mueller wasn't allowed to report any theories on Trump. The report doesn't clear Trump. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/mueller-breaks-silence-to-say-report-doesnt-clear-trump
  20. Sure and I'm sure an $80,000 Pickup truck that cost $150 to fill up is the far more practical option. But for the many people on Earth that simply need a car to go to A to B, a more modest EV is perfect fine.
  21. A bipartisan Senate Committee found that Russia did interfere with the Election. But removing Trump was ever on the table.
  22. The article doesn't say how many kHW the Ford F150 Lighting's battery size it. Google says it's 131 kwh. That's insane! That's a gigantic battery and nowhere near emblematic of a typical EV. Just like a pickup truck isn't particularly representative of an average car. Your typical Stage 2 30 amp charger does about 7 kwh. So yeah that battery would take a long time. Close to 20 hours. That being said, the range is around 400-450 kms for that truck. So a battery that size gets what resembles a normal range for a car. So for daily use, charging it to 100% may not be essential. If I needed a pickup truck, I probably wouldn't buy that car. But many EVs are far more practical. FYI, I have an EV battery that's under 40 kwh and it charges in under 6 hours. Just for comparison's sake, a Tesla Model Y has a battery of size that goes from 60-78 kwh. The Ford Mach E's battery is between 70-90 kwh. The Hyundai Ioniq 5's battery is between 58-77 kwh. Divide those numbers by 7 to get how many hours it would take to charge the battery to full on a standard home charger. As opposed to all those people using their AC? One night I had my dryer, AC, Washing machine and car charger all going at the same time. I still rarely get a Hydro Bill of over $150/month.
  23. This speaks to my propane tank comment earlier. It's still only a solution when normal charging isn't an option. Road Trips etc. Being able to properly charge overnight, at like 30 amps, is still the preferable option.
