For real. We’re about to see a new round of 19-year-olds with brand new, lifted HD pickups, news dirt bikes/snow machines, and an inventory of flat-bill hats.

As some like to (jokingly) say here in Alberta:

And Apple could probably make the same case for their proprietary charging ports and cables but that’s not stopping the EU from putting their foot down and saying “look, one standard for everything so we can stop with all the waste”.

It’s OK to make manufacturers uncomfortable and force them to a standard.

County, state, and federal incentives netted us ~$25k when we wrote a check for a new roof and solar/battery system a little over a year ago.  Now we get a yearly check from PG&E, which we’ve set aside to go towards our first BEV.  More than likely another Scout.

Half the state gets about 300 days of sunshine a year - that every flat roof isn’t covered in solar panels is bizarre.

The hiring freeze and return to the office requirements may mean attrition will do most of the work.

Musk is a white South African who is now a Texas billionaire. He wears cowboy boots, hat and gigantic silver belt buckle.

The bad thing about it is these idiots get followers and think “Elon is so smart and he hates it so it must be true.”

Yes, we should all stop putting so much pressure on poor Elon Musk to constantly tweet his opinions. I’m sure he’d stop if we’d only let him.

The idea, which becomes worse and worse every year, that corporate Twitter accounts should, nay, must weigh in on every social issue of our time is both meaningless and idiotic.

There’s also more money in it for him. The right will throw money at anyone who tells them all the bullshit they believe is true. It literally does not matter who it is or else Trump, Limbaugh, Greene, Carlson, Hannity, and Palin (among many) would have never achieved the relevance they did.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has announced that prices for the ID Buzz electric van will start at 54,430 euros ($57,220) in Germany for the Cargo version and 64,581 euros ($67,891) for the five-seat passenger Pro version.

Define “should”. Should the 99% of people who don’t drive drunk be forced to blow into their car every time they need to go anywhere? Should I care if someone is too stupid to wear a seatbelt and gets themselves killed? Should we restrict everyone to exactly the same speed so there is no passing, no speed difference…

Oh Hell No!  I don’t drink and drive at all. Zero. Given that I would HATE to have to blow a DUI device to start my car. 

It also just seems like everyone has lost their damn minds while driving as well

“Workers secured the bridge to ensure it’s safe for traffic to pass under.”

He told the Detroit News he’s considering suing the state for his medical bills and time off work due to the fall
