The question is, how many potholes do they usually fill in a day? For all we know they fill 8000 potholes every spring, but just don’t advertise it. That being said, letting the people know what you do for them is important.

Sounds like a great way to fake your death. The only problem is that everyone will think you died driving a Tesla.

All I am saying is that if the person you are with drops dead, you should be able to take care of yourself. That’s just sensible.

It’s less about trusting no one and more about recognizing that something could happen to the person you are with, like a medical emergency for example, and that you should be able to survive on your own. Say you are hiking with someone and they fall and break their leg. Do you both just lay there and die? You need to be able to get yourself back to safety and to get help.

When you get on a plane, they do a whole safety announcement, pointing out the exits. Trains and busses have legally mandated labeling for exits. You are well informed how to get out on your own.

I don’t care who you are, you should never go to a place with someone that you are not capable of leaving alone.

Well, they are now two feet tall and radioactive. Whether that is considered harm is up to debate.

Alongside the announcement of Noem’s ouster,

Yay!

the president said he would tap Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., to be her replacement

Boo!

Then there is the BMW i3 which is fully electric with an optional “range extender” which is basically just a gas generator that charges the battery while you drive.

Until now it has been claimed by manufacturers that the vehicles used only a little or almost no fuel when in the electric mode.

I have a PHEV and the gas engine shuts off completely when in electric mode. I don’t see how it could be using gas when it’s not running. Are they confusing the hybrid mode with electric mode?

BMW driver’s can’t even change a tire in my experience.

I knew the first reply would be about a US centric comment.

I fully expect to see a similar headline about the US in the next 3 years.

Amusingly I got a spam call last week that came up on caller ID as “Obama 2012”.

They make USB peripheral floppy drives now for like $15. Its like the shittiest thumb drive ever.

I’m sure he would happily give up Alaska to his Russian buddies

This is true for a lot of forager type animals. Chickens will kill and eat mice if they can. I’ve even seen videos of horses snacking on baby chickens.

And Tasmanians, and Native Americans, and Indians, and Kenyans, and Irish…

Little sea raviolis.

I figure the world is right about where it was in 1936.
