We are getting news of vigilante environmentalists deflating tires on SUVs.


Can anyone recommend a good set of Bronco-compatible locking valve stem caps?
If they can't get to the valve cores, I can only imagine what the next step would be. I bet they carry knives. I carry a compressor so I'll just add valve cores to my stash. Dumb quasi-environmentalism.:poop:

So this is interesting: Yesterday I heard on the Reveal podcast that the energy used by US Bitcoin computers more than offsets the total carbon savings from all the electric cars in the US.

Yes, Bitcoin is very energy intensive. Some people have even suggested it was created as a power virus to use all the world's power, which it could theoretically do if prices continually climb for years on end.

I have disabled plates, guess I'm safe.

Alternatively, you could carry a compressor and run the engine while filling up your tires and laugh at them :D

supposedly these "mine" facilities generate a TON of heat. I still don't get it though. People say paper money is "worthless", but it's worth more than a digital currency that can't be used to do anything...can't pay bills, can't buy a car, can't buy a house, can't buy a movie ticket...you have to sell it for real currency to do any of that /rofl

There are places that will accept bitcoin without conversion to cash ahead of time. https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin/who-accepts/
Don't get me wrong I still think it's stupid but I've made a few $ trading it.
