ICE'd a Tesla* on ice

[davenowherejones]

* No real Tesla was harmed.

I was riding around looking for a short fat screw to fix my rusty truck and decided to go look at the electric car charging station up at the Hope Slide viewing station.

I slowly crept up the steep mountain road to about 2000 feet elevation. The last bit was above the snow line for that day. And it was getting dark.

I parked my 2014 Honda Forza 300 in front of the charger to get this picture. I then realized that I had ICE'd the charger with my Forza. I also realized that my Forza was on ice, frozen water.

ICE is a Internal Combustion Engine and ICEing is the act of parking in front of a charger to PURPOSELY DENY the use of the charger to rich electric car twits.

Some twits driving big diesel 4x4's think this is funny. It is funny until some rich guy starts shooting.

I like the local tow company who park a tow truck in the same HOPE, BC parking lot as the Tesla Supercharger.

I actually want an electric car but I am too poor. I also want a Zero electric motorcycle but I am too poor. I also want a house that does not threaten to blow over in today's big wind storm but I am too poor.

Wanted Rich Girlfriend with electric car. Send picture of car.

And now for the picture.

The picture is 320x240. Is this too small for this site? Or just right?

You could certainly go bigger with the pic size. Even on my 24" monitor, it is hard to fully appreciate. When i resize pics for the site, I shoot for something around 1000 px wide. No complaints. Yet...

640 a little bigger, not everyone has a 24

Not everyone has a 24 inch monitor but if you set the picture for 800 x 640 pixels every one will be able to view it accordingly.

Speaking of monitor sizes, I have several desktop computers, and the one I built as a home theater PC (though I don't have a real home theater) is using my 55 inch tv as its monitor. Since we are cheap we only have Internet access through our cable company...no TV channels. However, I have a smart tv so I have Netflix, Hulu, and some others through the internet. I can also access some shows a day later through my computer, so using my HTPC is like watching regular tv but I only have to pay for internet. Our cable bill dropped in half. Something to consider if you are on a budget.

Today was not a good day for the Forza for obvious reasons. But 17 mpg sucks. About 4000 feet. Close to home, Zopkios.

Lets go nuclear-build some generating plants in northern Saskatchewan, bury the waste in the spent mines and enjoy unlimited electricity?
Grow pot in greenhouses drive electric vehicles- screw the dinosaurs they have had their time.

You don't have to go thru all that trouble, unlimited electricity is already here
