  • Cool, good to know there are states where you’re at least partly right.

    even on þe freeway where you’re not crossing into oncoming lanes

    Doesn’t really work with

    Subd. 2a.Increased speed limit when passing.

    Notwithstanding subdivision 2, the speed limit is increased by ten miles per hour over the posted speed limit when the driver:

    (1) is on a two-lane highway having one lane for each direction of travel;

    (2) is on a highway with a posted speed limit that is equal to or higher than 55 miles per hour;

    (3) is overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction of travel; and

    (4) meets the requirements in section 169.18.

    where you’re allowed to speed only when crossing into oncoming traffic.


  • Then name one of them. If you’re too lazy to go and look at the laws for that state, I can do it for you if you want, but you need to give even a single state of where you think you’re allowed to ignore the speed limit while passing someone. Here, I’ll give you an example:

    Alabama on page 64: On two-lane roads with traffic moving in both directions, you may pass traffic on the left if the pass can be completed safely without exceeding the speed limit.

    Most states won’t explicitly state that you aren’t allowed to speed while passing, but they definitely won’t tell you that speeding is fine.





  • The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a nonprofit focused on combating antisemitism, defended tech billionaire Elon Musk’s “awkward” gesture during a Monday celebratory event which some critics panned as a fascist salute.

    “This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety,” the ADL wrote in a Monday post on Musk’s social platform X. “It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.”

    From the Hill if anyone else wanted to know more.












  • All the carbon removal equipment in the world is only capable of removing around 0.01 million metric tons of carbon a year, a far cry from the 70 million tons a year needed by 2030 to meet global climate goals, according to the International Energy Agency.

    There are already much bigger DAC plants in the works from other companies. Stratos, currently under construction in Texas, for example, is designed to remove 500,000 tons of carbon a year, according to Occidental, the oil company behind the plant.

    But there may be a catch. Occidental says the captured carbon will be stored in rock deep underground, but its website also refers to the company’s use of captured carbon in a process called “enhanced oil recovery.” This involves pushing carbon into wells to force out the hard-to-reach remnants of oil — allowing fossil fuel companies to extract even more from aging oil fields.

    I don’t know what you’re talking about, everything seems fine here.
