Help - Dead battery in the summer or what else would be wrong with the Volt?

Due to the (2017) Volt's parking spot in our garage taken up by a large lawn tractor, I haven't been charging it at night for the past two weeks and only running on gas only.

This morning, the Volt wouldn't start, not even the key fob center console spot wouldn't start the car.

Is it weird that batteries would die in the heat of summer? I would associate that with the coldness of winter. Thinking about it more, the battery needed a jump last winter due to extreme cold so maybe I just need a new battery?

Can the health of a military leader make or break a battle/campaign for one side?

A book source that I've had for a long time described General Lee before Gettysburg as:

"Lee was not in good health. In March, he sustained an attack of pericarditis - inflammation and swelling of the pericardium or membranous sac enclosing the heart - which had incapacitated him for a while. He had recovered sufficiently to command at Chancellorsville, but historians have speculated as to the degree to which the after-effects of the disease, including pain and a general slowing down of the system, might have influenced his conduct of the subsequent campaign; and since he remained silent on the subject, an answer will not be forthcoming".

The book also referred to Lee's planning the Day 3 attacks (known as the Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble Assault aka Pickett's Charge) as:

"There seems to have been little doubt in Lee's mind that the battle should continue, although his thoughts were those of a tired man and lacked the spark of imagination".

US Navy: Were the Alaska Class cruisers a mistake?

Built as super cruisers/cruiser killers for a Japanese B-65 cruiser threat that didn’t materialize and the Alaskas were quickly decommissioned despite ships basically being brand new at the end of WW2.

Part of me wants to say “all they needed were some old fashioned battlecruisers like HMS Renown/Repluse instead of building the Alaskas” but I know the US Navy never fully committed to those during WW1 and by the time they did start building one, the Washington Naval Treaty came.

Serious/Genuine question: Do teams struggle to draft/develop centers or do fewer young players want to play center these days? A lot of teams need a "1C or 2C who’s good at faceoffs" right now.

Note: I’ve never played ice hockey before.

Why is Eisenhower criticized for not racing for Berlin when the Yalta Conference had already drawn up what a post WW2 Europe would look like?

Or is it just for the political victory of getting Berlin first.

Genuine question: Is the TUGS Universe closer to 'it's all magic' than Thomas and Friends?

I mean in Thomas and Friends, we see humans working and making things happen. In TUGS, things sort of happen - I mean, how does a sentient tugboat attach a tow line, etc etc. Looking at it how TheUnluckyTug would look at it (in the style of the "what's alive on Sodor" recent video".

It is assumed that there are humans but we don't see them - we see sentient machines or buildings with cones for them to shout at the tugs.

As I get older, it just rubs me the wrong way. But then again, TUGS is like the Cars Universe where somehow the cars can do everything.

Do we know if TUGS Season 1 was more expensive to make vs Thomas and Friends Season 2 or 3?

I would assume that TUGS would be more expensive because of all those RC tugboats, building the massive sets, etc.

Specifically excluding Joe Engle and astronauts for Apollo 18-20, which Apollo astronauts who only had one spaceflight were 'hard done/done dirty' by NASA management?

  • Walt Cunningham - iced out to conflicts with management during Apollo 7.
  • Don Eisele - iced out to conflicts with management during Apollo 7 plus his messy divorce.
  • Rusty Schweickart - iced out because he was 'different' than everyone else and because he had space sickness on Apollo 9.
  • Not sure if Jim Irwin on Apollo 15 counts because of the stamp affair.

Alan Bean broke through the mold in no part to the death of CC Williams and Pete Conrad's lobbying for Apollo 12.

Edit: Did not include Engle or Apollo 18-20 because they were denied on outside lobbying or funding cuts.

What do you expect out of DeBoer in his first full season of coaching the Isles?

Obviously the last 4 games of last season was a tiny sample size. The only thing is that I don't think he should do a top 9 style because the Isles don't have the forward depth like he did in Dallas.

I assume that it will be similar to Cassidy's since he was the AHL coach under Bruce's tenure or do you think he will try to copy what Torts did during the playoffs?

R&R in the Pacific: Can the Ice Cream Barge (US) and the Beer Ship (UK) be considered the biggest 'flex' of the Allies over the Japanese in the Pacific in terms of "taking care of the men"? Conversely, what did R&R look like for the Japanese forces (average soldier/sailor/pilot)?

I was originally going to ask if it was the biggest flex in general by the Allies but the Atomic Bomb kind of seemed like a bigger achievement in the general sense...

I assume that the Japanese did not cycle their men (especially the ones defending islands) nearly as much as the Allies could due to lack of manpower and couldn't offer any true luxuries given limited supplies (other than offering "comfort women").

Note: UK Beer Ship is HMS Menestheus / US Ice Cream Barge being a BRL (Barge, Refrigerated, Large).

Streaming Scrubs S1-S8: How many major scenes are now different because the music license ran out?

I've read that streaming Scrubs is a bit of an adjustment because the some of the songs are changed due to licenses not being continued.

Further proof - physical media is superior.

How much of an feat was Patton's quick response counterattack at Battle of the Bulge to the German advance?

The 1970 movie "Patton" (a glorious propaganda piece let’s be honest) lays it out as:

  • Patton's forces were already in a fight.
  • They were taken out of the current fight and moved 100 miles to attack north.
  • They attacked in terrible weather with very little in the way of sleep and comforts.

Where nobody else can do anything and they look at Patton like "that's impossible" when he says he can attack with 3 divisions in 48 hours.

Why does Voronkov struggle with conditioning?

I've heard from a number of sources over the years (mostly from Brian Hedger) that Dimitri struggles with conditioning from early in the season and by the end of the season, coaches are like "I can't play this guy" and Voronkov's role is greatly reduced.

It reminds me of a Brian Burke interview where he talks about Phil Kessel (obviously Dimitri is not Phil Kessel): Phil would come to camp, hit his fitness targets, look great and then as the season went on, Phil would play less and less attention to those fitness targets.

I wonder if it's a similar sort of thing for Voronkov?

Unless Brian Hedger is not a good source.
