re. Arnold. Good lord - I can't believe how much "info" there is on celebrity heights! But certainly if the stipulation here is that he is "definitely well over 6'-2" as Bo says at the opening of the cast - NOBODY claims him to be taller than that. And 6-0 to 6-1 seems to be the current guesses.
His image, of course, is everything. And that is why he stands on a box when he speaks, wears lifts and/or heeled shoes (like when standing near Obama) and projects his "larger than life" image.
Next time you have a chance, stand next to him like I have. I'm 5-11. And unless I was accidentally standing on tippy toes, or he was really slouching - I'm taller than he is.
Regardless, he is NOT this monster of a man who couldn't fit in a normal car.
Now, for a practical, far more important question: Is there a way to adjust volume on the cast playback that I'm not seeing? I see the little speaker, but it just tells me that the thing is playing. Seems the only way to adjust volume is on my system. Could that be true??

We know that nationalization is a dirty word and concept, but here might be one case were it is justified: EEstor. Why, because either EEstor is an exceptional groundbreaking technology that will leap forward past any chemical battery technology...or its a scam.
A scam you say? Surely there has never been technological R & D firms in the EV world that are scams...and none that have been interviewed on the evcast either...btw my cubical is not powered with a solar tube yet. I thought I had cold fusion in my coffee cup once until I smelled fermenting soup...hey it gave off heat
It seems to me that it is in the national interest to determine if the billions of dollars of investment going into chemical batteries is a dead-end because of Eestor. Or if Eestor is one of the EV world's more famous scams then it should be strung up by its plug.
Maybe one of you John Briggs types will tell me it is could be neither just a failed technology, if so then add a check in the nationalization column. Let the feds evaluate the technology in the public light. It will be interesting to see if Eestor applies for the Dept of E battery technology grant. The applications should be in public domain via records act requests. If they don't apply then put a check in the awfully suspicious column.
