How many did you fill until you ran out?

I'm all for whatever we need in or around the river to get the most use out of them while protecting the fish, removing the power generation requirement should reduce the infrastructure required is my point.
I also hate talking about fish when they refuse to kill harbour seals and sea lions that just sit there and eat all the spawning salmon. Like any animal, gotta keep the numbers in check, sell tags or let the tribes do it.

If they would build nuclear I'd be all for removing the dams on the Snake and Columbia, as long as whatever infrastructure required to maintain irrigation for farms was left in place or built.
But when I propose that to the people who want the dams gone they yell at me.

We don't have an EV or plan to buy one anytime soon (though converting my truck is an option, only because of the self contained generator setup it maintains).
We have 4 vehicles and only 2 drivers, each vehicle serves an exact purpose and is used as such. The only EV on the market that could replace something in our lineup is the Rivian SUV, and frankly I can buy a lot a fuel and not care about body damage on our paid off vehicles.

The whole drivetrain is replaced. The electric motors are in the new axles. There is no drive shaft.
Engine/generator --> power cables --> battery/axles

Yeah I get the application you're saying, but those trucks are already using the PTO ports on the transmission to generate that power. This conversion should make that more efficient by removing the transmission and the mechanical loss associated with it.

Can fast charge a lot of Teslas off a modern diesel with the proper PTO Generator setup.
I just want this so I can swap in a 60gal fuel tank and see what my range and mpg is like.

Depends on the new truck cost we're comparing to. I want to see actual numbers once they're in full production. $15-20k to convert my diesel F350 to something I want that Ford (or anyone else for that matter) is never going to provide me? Sounds great. Like I mentioned before, how much of that cost is the new engine, I want to see conversion keeping the diesel engine many already have, that would keep costs down.

I'd have to look at the whole setup again, but I'd suspect that the transmission would be removed. Electric cars don't have transmissions. The engine is setup as a generator to provide electricity for the electric motors, it just idles for the most part, never actually drives the wheels.
Also looks like they're using a CAT motor now, one of the initial plans was the new Cummins 2.8L.

I'd like to see them have a setup to use the existing diesel engine already in the truck, since availability of that new Cummins is low and cost is high.
Though swapping out my 6.7L for that 2.8L would save weight, and thus increase payload and towing (depending on all the other parts) availability.
Also since we're talking electric, you're looking at more power and torque potential even than a deleted and tuned diesel.

The idea I always had (but lacked money or competency/skill to do) is to convert all the diesel pickups into diesel electric hybrids. Convert, not make new. You already own the truck, you can extend the life and make it more efficient. That's the market, better environmentally, more power, more range.
Edison Motors in Canada is doing that and I've been following it on YouTube. Canadian government seems to hates them.

Aren't the super large dump trucks already diesel electric like a train?
Hard to beat diesel for fueling speed, low volatility, known tech (including emissions), especially in a generator type install where you can tune it for a specific constant RPM range.

How about we send that UBI to me, it's my money anyways. I wouldn't work any less, which is probably why I'm not in the position to ever receive one, or COVID money, or any other type of helicopter cash.
When money is helicoptered out, the thought at work is always whomever received some (and whomever received the most) is the laziest POS and should give the rest of us our money back.

We feed our daughter what we eat (13mo). Grass fed ribeye and eggs cooked in grass fed butter or beef tallow.

Nice thought, won't happen, Seattle won't let it, neither will the Washington Dems with all our mail in ballots. I still have to check every year, just in case, my dead dad doesn't keep voting Democrat. The ballots stopped coming a couple years ago (he died in 2017), but the Dems still send him mailers begging for money.

Ateast it looks like it fails fast. Had a ton of issues with my server box at one point, ram would test fine in a memtest loop for days, until day 6, then it would fail. Always day 6.
Have duplicate spare parts, so built the spare system out on a table to keep testing trying to find the solution (bad stick, bad slot, poor environment, etc). Lot of testing for 128gigs on Supermicro dual Xeon boards, so many sticks, so many slots, so many days till failure.

"presence AND/OR absence"
Says it all right there. Even if they killed everyone in the world considered white, our absence would still be white supremacy as society collapses. White supremacy would be blamed as if we just took our ball and went home and nobody could keep playing. There is no end for them, they will always blame white supremacy.
