1983. I absolutely hate shopping in person. I hate the registers that aren’t staffed, the self-checkout that breaks down or calls a staff member for “possible unbagged item” at the most random times. This last time I scanned a box, put it in the bag, scanned another box of the same thing, put it in the bag, then the…

My anti-union stance was based upon me working at a job where the union was prevalent, but not a requirement for working there. The union would frequently stand right outside of the exit pitching union membership, talking about how great membership was, about how the dues were only what they felt was necessary to keep…

I can completely agree with Atomic that police need to be better about their dealings with people who are just “armed” (e.g. Philandro Castille). However, you are correct. In this case, Chase Allen wasn’t just “armed.” He told police they were “going to have issues” if they attempted to arrest him, then switched his…

Police actually did just cite his mother about a year before this incident. She handled the situation slightly better by actually identifying herself (though not with a drivers’ license) and didn’t pull a gun from its holster during the encounter.

I was more surprised by the multiple people who were just astonished that TSA agents would do something like this.

I really wish more manufacturers would get behind this. If I had my choice to replace my 16 year old ICE, I’d want to get a PHEV. It would cover my daily work commute with its all-electric range, but wouldn’t be severely restricting each time that I want to visit my family 300+ miles away.

Now, PHEV options are…

Dang. I just filled up in Utah yesterday at $4.09/gal at Costco, which is usually at least 10 cents less than surrounding stations.

That might work...except that this “regular person” experience involved other vehicles driving ahead to scout out the charger situation for her, multiple escort vehicles (some ICE, some EV), and apparently even the use of support staff to reserve chargers for her.

That’s a great question, especially when Teslas don’t even have the free super-charger perk they had while the network was being built out. I guess they could offer a discount rate for Teslas charging there, but it’d have to be a great discount.

I agree. Last year I was driving on that same freeway (I-15) a few miles to the south from this incident when a white cargo van a couple of lanes over lost a box spring mattress off the top of the van. It then came down in my lane just ahead of me. I saw the van get off at the next exit, but I couldn’t follow as I had…

It’s interesting that you criticize the CVRP for its income limits allowing people who have enough money to buy an EV to get rebates, but you don’t give the same complaint about the even higher income limits of the other program.

So the Loot Boxes are gone (yay!), but there’s still $254 of DLC packages for it...

I like Bethesda RPG games and expected some jank. As some of the comments pointed at, I kind of expected a day 1 patch. Mostly, the UI and actually explaining some of the mechanics of things really needs some work. I have seen wierdness around jumping/vaulting mechanics where sometimes it’ll take about 1/2 my O2 meter…

I just can’t. I played Payday 2 heavily with friends for a little while, but it seemed like every single time people figured out a good way to run a level, the developers would patch it to make that route nearly impossible “to provide a better challenge.” Then there’s the 77 paid DLC items ($254 “worth” right now),…

That’s what causes that? Every time I switch from my scanner and cutter over to a firearm there’s a stutter that’s been getting worse.

The term “pad explosion” isn’t used, but the article begins with

Banning private vehicles wouldn’t make any sense at all for a vast majority of the western US region. It might fly if you could greatly change people’s opinions in big metropolises, but outside of that it’s not going to (and shouldn’t) happen.

You mean the game we all paid for then they took away?

Hopefully this “gamer nexus” is next to evaporate to history. Trash content creators jealous of youtubers that did it for fun 15 years ago is getting damn old.

To say it’s generally slower than driving is often a huge understatement. I know my situation isn’t typical as I live in a small city, but it takes me anywhere from 8 - 15 minutes to drive to my work. There’s a bus stop just outside of my neighborhood, so not even 2 blocks from my home. Riding the bus to my work would…
