Kinda. 240V outlets are capable of 30, 40, 50 Amps depending on what wiring/breaker was used.

A standard 120V outlet is 15 Amps.

For safety, you never use the full output of an outlet (-20%).

We can figure out the wasttage (power) by multiplying Volts x Amps

So on a normal outlet you have 120V x 15A x 0.8 = 1.5 kW

His battery is 250 kWh so it would take 7 days to recharge at normal outlet speed.

A 240V outlet on a 50 Amp circuit is capable of (240V x 50A x 0.8 =) 9.5 kW and could recharge his car fully in a little over a day.

Almost every single piece of footage I have observed of the man suggests to me that he is of well below the intelligence required to hold office. His dad, on the other hand, was sharp as a tack, and a dangerous man.

I believe he was a puppet, as was Obama, Trump and as is Biden now - controlled by the military and CIA. The office of president has been as meaningful as the Office of King/Queen of the UK since somewhere between LBJ and Nixon. The power no longer resides with the president - they merely lobby for favor. It diminishes with each new election.

Let the downvotes commence.

Conservatism comes from money & ownership, generally. Money is the biggest indicator of where you will fall politically. (Celebrities being the outlier since their income comes from us giving them sales)

Because successive generations have less to conserve, they themselves are less conservative in general. As long as the economy continues to drive inequality, this will not reverse.

There's also the issue of medical complications where liberals are more likely to die earlier due to the stresses of poverty vs conservatives who can stay on top of their health through regular checkups. For example, republicans celebrated AIDS wiping out large demographics who were very anti-conservative.

He was smart. Everyone just liked to portray him as an idiot, because of how he talked and that they disagreed with his policies.

Edit: You'll be hard pressed to find any POTUS that there isn't almost if not more than half the country decrying as an 'idiot'. Everyone is smart from their armchair. But the fact is nobody gets into that chair without tremendous effort and poise to begin with, and then once they do get there the hard work starts. Presidents aren't dumb.

what's disproven, that the hummer has a higher carbon footprint? got a source for that? it will really depend on your power source of course, most of which is generated by burning fossil fuels

Really, the idea of justifying this level of inefficient consumption blows my mind -- it has 250 kWh batteries! You can run a whole home pretty comfortably with just 10 kWh and a few solar panels. Why do you need to move 5 whole fucking tons of stuff just to get your ass from A to B when a bicycle would do?

Sounds like some cross training might help. Try some interval training. Better yet, biking or a spin class. For someone that does 5ks regularly like you, it's hard to imagine your heart rate is getting all that high in a 30 minute 5k. That's just a consistent, slow jog. Even if you don't do anything else, try keeping a close watch on your heart rate when exercising and work in bursts of increasing it.

All US presidents seem to be, well... apart from some obvious exceptions.

I always thought it was part of the job, that you just kinda had to accept that some good looking coach would be assigned to keeping you as fit and healthy as possible but apparently not in all cases.

Do not humanize this man.

He was warned numerous times about an impending attack and did nothing. Then used the attack and subsequent war for political gain.

He is absolutely NOT someone I wanna sit down and have a beer with knowing he could have done something and chose instead to twiddle his thumbs

Edit: the fact that you would downvote this comment shows how little you care for the lives lost on 9/11 as well those lost to a war that we have seen first hand was an utter waste of time and resources. That George W Bush gets to bumble along while people say "what a silly old man, he seems like a chill guy" is insane to me
