Like others stated, it’s not a bug but a feature. The problems with voting have been engineered specifically to disenfranchise voters (primarily the working class, poor, urban, and/or minority voters). In rural and suburban districts that align with Republicans, voting in America is like you described in Canada;…

Some people just want to see the world burn-t orange.

This actually sounds like an illegal vote, she should have had to fill out an absentee ballot before she left and submitted it in the mail like everyone else. Hell, they decided that curbside voting is illegal because apparently it’s impossible to not look at the ballot while walking to and from the car.

GM built the Apollo rovers, which was the only other electric off road vehicle they’ve built (kind of a stretch, but if I’d been them I would have skipped the Hummer name and embraced the Apollo connection more).

For Amendments, 2/3rds of the states are needed so just one can’t normally hold up the whole thing. However, 2/3rds of the states leaves plenty of ‘red’ states that would have to sign on. The agreement plan circumvents the whole process since technically the EC is still in place, just the electors from all the states…

The EC is an antiquated system that has outlived its usefulness. Basically the main reason it lasted as long as it has was because it didn’t make a difference. It wasn’t until the last 20 years that a difference emerged between the popular and electoral votes (and since the current system aids Republicans and they’ve…

The aggregated poles were pretty spot on, they showed a virtual tie or slight lead for Clinton in some key states and an overall preference for Clinton. Clinton did win the popular vote by a wide margin, but was narrowly defeated in a couple of key states to lose the electoral college. The ‘good’ polls gave Trump a…

Unfortunately, many (if not most) doctors in Texas are Republicans. There’s something about having money and becoming a Republican that just attracts doctors.

If you just swipe and go you’re looking at about 3-5min, but if you go inside to pay, use the restroom, or buy a coffee/candy bar 10min is pretty quick.

The fast charging stations like the Tesla Superchargers can fill up the batteries to 80% in 5min or so, which is fine for road trips as long as your route has the stations. For other charging, you just plug in the car at night and never go to the gas station.

Most of the ND’s I have experience are ND1's so you could be right with the ND2 (30lbft is a 20% increase though, which isn’t something to scoff at). The Miata are all great cars, my only real gripes with the ND is that it’s too small for me (especially the passenger seat, when I instruct in one my head pokes way…

They don’t know what they’re missing.

Due to Corona, all instructed sessions are lead/follow. On the local 2.7mi course, my BRZ is about 10s per lap slower than the very fastest street cars and I’m 20s per lap faster than the fast novices and about 10s per lap faster than fast intermediate drivers.

I have a 2014 BRZ that I bought new and use as my only vehicle. I’m a track instructor and have put thousands of track miles on my BRZ (I do about 30 track events each year and another dozen or so autocrosses). I love my BRZ and have convinced at least a dozen people to get one.

The only people who vote for directly for President are the electors of the Electoral College. When normal people vote, they are actually voting for the electors and saying which candidate they want those electors to vote for. Depending on the state, the electors can do whatever they want and vote for whomever they…

Blimps don’t hold their shape, that’s the difference. Zeppelins or dirigibles are rigid air ships with an internal rigid structure and contain their lifting gasses in individual bladders within the structure, which can also be used as internal storage. A blimp is a fancy balloon and when empty of lifting gases…

3000lbs, 300hp, and $30k. I’d also accept 3200lbs, 320hp, and $32k, but that’s getting close to Mustang territory.

The picture of the Jolie/Pitt Children reminded me of Umbrella Academy. If one of them starts looking gorilla-ish, someone might want to do some sort on intervention.

The SCCA requires vehicles to be wider than they are tall, and this requirement is shared by most official autox groups due to insurance requirements. I’ve seen a Fiesta ST roll over at an autox and it totaled a brand new car. Of course, if this safety nightmare were totaled you’d only be out the cost of a set of…

After about a month, most people lose interest in an ongoing crisis and have either decided that it doesn’t effect them or it already did and it’s someone else’s problem now.
