To go off your example: imagine that $1,000 computer is incurring residuals and licensing fees on a regular basis, so it’s not just $1,000, but $1,000 plus however much money a week/month for as long as you’re using it. If content is not bringing in commensurate subscribers, then getting $300 back and stopping…

I guarantee this is all happening because of the writers’ strike. This is the studios/networks/streaming platforms trying to flex their muscles and attack writers and creators by killing shows before they pay out any residuals or other payments. 

truckers sleep in the parking lot and will fill the place with trucks and never spend that much money. laso making it a bad image for families to spend time.

Plus, Buc-ee’s probably doesn’t want to deal with lot lizards.

Because it’s truckers that make truck stops places that everyone else avoids as much as possible on a road trip.

I feel like I read this story 10 years ago.

My BIL didn't need one for Iraq either, and it was all expenses paid with free room and board!

cousin has one- loves it.  no major fit/finish issues to date w/ R1T for him... looking at you, Tesla.

Every truck stop/travel center has lot lizards. All of them. Bucc-ees doesn’t want that!

Get used to the sight of these mega stations, because when the EV revolution hits; these will be the only “gas” stations around. Any smaller pumping sites will be unviable, because you can’t have one of your six-twelve pumps out of commission for two hours or more on a single customer. This is the future of America,…

I’d be very interested to see their plans for this property. It would not surprise me if there are some extra 4" conduits buried to allow for easy conversion of a gas pump to a charging station. Plenty of space for more transformers too.

They could probably take a 4 pump setup and convert it to 8 charging slots…

It’s 74,000 square feet staffed with 350 notoriously friendly employees (probably because they’re well paid)

The irony is that a buc-ees makes an even better argument as an EV charging station

You had nothing to offer to the conversation, published it anyway.

Hey, cops gotta cop. 

Legalized murder. The lesson is to shoot the other person dead so he/she can’t contradict whatever story you want to tell.

Well he can always get a job in America. 

Things like this are why DeSantis’s poll numbers are cratering. It’s become obvious that he has no principles and his governing approach is simply catering to whatever culture-war meme is getting the most current traction. To get a piece of legislation like this out of the current FL legislature with bipartisan…

That's understandable. There's really two different worlds when you talk about CF cloth technology: there's the world of engineered components with layers of material placed in a very specified direction resulting in an engineered composite sandwich, then there's the world of "hey lets make a CF gas cap for my Honda".…

Yes, they’re really talking about downcycling here, not recycling. There’s no way to turn cutoffs or recovered material back into long fibers. The best you can hope for is to recover material that you can chop up and use as a filler.
