Fort Lauderdale to Miami is about 30 miles.

I would hope that the fine would be divided amongst the passengers held against their will for the 5 plus hours. That’s probably not going to happen though. 

I have driven every mile of PCH (US-1/US-101 where they overlap). Not in one shot but over many trips. It’s magnificent in the remote places and infuriating in the urban/suburban areas. The stretch from SF to the OR/CA border is particularly challenging. Very twisty plus the added challenge of random logging trucks…

The vast majority of people on planet Earth can’t afford an EV, and can’t charge one even if they could. And all the neoliberal democracies aren’t doing a single thing to move that in the opposite direction. The impending climate crisis can’t force 50% EVs in the presence of those other structural realities.

Sub-6% in the US alone - which is a very large market, but not the only market. The issues with infrastructure are still there (even in the US and Canada). The 175% increase is certainly impressive, and I don’t disagree that electrification (to one degree or another) is going to be the prevailing trend, but don’t…

Part of the problem is that as you get smaller, the battery gets smaller unless you’re willing to make that battery upwards of 60% of the vehicle weight. For the foreseeable future small EVs (say, smaller than the Leaf) are going to be limited to strictly city cars, at least until we see a significant increase in…

It’s not the car that would convince me to switch to EVs, but the infrastructure.
Till then, Hybrids or PHEVs are the way to go. Sorry not sorry. 

If any of you people come to Utah, we have several great drives here. First, all the canyon drives are fairly fun depending on traffic and time of year. But my standouts are Francis, UT to Hanna via Highway 35. Beautiful mtns, lovely curves, sweeping turns. It’s a drivers paradise. Only open after the snow melts, and…

$45 million per mile? I’m definitely in the wrong business.

Thats the part that doesn’t make sense to me. It would make more sense to have one stop in the high desert, another in Barstow, the next be somewhere at or near state line like Baker or Primm and then Vegas.

You know what else looks good? A sky full of undiminished stars.

In 2015, the Bay Area Toll Authority had approved a $2.1 million contract for Philips Lighting North America Corporation to maintain the Bay Lights for the next ten years.

It is...and yet I restarted Skyrim last week and it still feels like something special. The setting, the voices around me, the music...god the score is so fucking good...that it just feels good to play. Most every other open world game I’ve dabbled in in the last several years jus felt flat and unappealing in compare.

A PC release would have done wonders for its longevity. Guarantee it would have had objectively higher sales.

Suspect we’ll have to wait for a “complete edition” after the DLC plans are complete, but seems like it’s best chance for a real second wind at this point is a well-timed (and executed) PC release.

In some cases yes. In a lot roof cases, it is just how people find out. They try and log in at home before getting in and find they can’t log on, only to get to work and find out the true reason why.

I work in I.T. and the first thing that is usually done is to cut off access to email, log in etc. Granted most places will wait until the employee comes into the office and HR ushers them off to a meeting room while we disable them.

...aren’t the sidelines in the arena, anyway? When a player is benched, you can still see them next to the playing field; they aren’t kicked out into the parking lot.

I wouldn’t criticize Crawford for her choice overextend herself for her job. She was throwing herself all-in in hopes of great rewards. All the antiwork/anti-capitalist rhetoric these days shuns such behavior but a largely ignored truth is that merit-based rewards still do exist out there for those willing to do the…

she was the CEO of Squad when it was purchased by Twitter for $40 million, i’m sure she was doing ok prior to working at Twitter
