Ugh, there is a four lane bowling alley right near me for sale for $100,000 or so. Now I’m further tempted.


Buy it! What else are you doing with your money?


Kids.


You mean, unpaid labor!

I did the books for my mom's business through high school, which prevented me from being a complete disaster as an adult.


You telling me your kids don't want a bowling alley?


While overly confident, your response is not factually correct. Are you familiar with Francisco de Montejo, a Spanish conquistador who burnt innumerable Mayan historical documents etc?

Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_de_Montejo


The Spaniards can have been as nothing compared to the Mayans themselves. The composition of these codices was at its peak hundreds of years earlier and zero survived the reciprocal annihilation that had not a trace of influence from the Spaniards who were under direct Arab colonial domination that was to last longer than any in the post columbian period.


So I guess that answers my question.


Hey signed up just to answer this. We have had an EV in Saskatchewan for 2+ years now. We live on a farm and have a daily commute of about 40km. Other vehicle is a gas F150. The EV has been far and away the better vehicle in our bitter winters. Have not had one single issue. Heats up super quick. Yes when it minus 50 we lose half our range but still leaves us with 200km or so on the worst days. As far as charging in the extreme cold it hasn’t been a noticeable difference whatsoever to charging in the summer. Just plug it in and forget about it. Truck averages 17 litres per 100km in the winter and car does about 25-30 kWh/100km on those absolute worst days and 14 kWh /100km in the summer. Electricity costs 15 cents a kWh and gas $1.40 a litre so even in the worst examples for the EV it is way way cheaper.


Thanks for taking the time to answer! This is both surprising and unsurprising. On paper, everything you say makes sense. But to see that it's true in practice is great news.
